I'm in the United States. I own a small business and have been self employed in some fashion for about 20 years. My goals I would really only want to speak to the mentor about.

I can on a phone call or email.

Ask for a raise, it will tell you straight away if they think you're contributions are replaceable. If you get the raise then you can keep on being the MVP and make yourself even more valuable.

I use a hard drive.....with folders.

The easiest way to find the right person is to call and ask. Even better if you can find out who his/her boss is and then mention to your target that so-and-so told me I should contact you about a position.....see what I did there :-)

How do I get a ride to the hospital with no cars and streets covered with tables? I would invest in real estate in a city with high demand and finite footprint but I would probably not live there. I think you may also find that government service costs per capita may be the same or higher than a regular city.

Don't give up. You CAN compete. You can do this, BELIEVE! I would ask them how they determined their offer price though....good information to have.

Here is my take: Crypto (pick your favorite hash) is used more as a study of supply/demand than a currency. I considered mining and buying a bunch of ANT machines. I also think that the lure of bitcoin was the fact that there would only be X number of Bitcoin to mine leading to an appreciation of the coin because of less supply. But now there are many crypto currencies with more total supply than the current money supply. I eagerly await to see what happens after the last bitcoin is mined.

No, I don't even want to use Gmail. I actually do use a theme in Gmail fyi. I would be just as happy with a color choice.

I use Upwork to get some things done and this is startling.

>>Our decision is based on a careful review and the fact that you have submitted a high number of proposals for jobs on our site without many contracts or earnings. Unfortunately, this means the jobs posted by clients are not a good match for your skills.

I see absolutely no correlation between a high rate of proposals and a good match of skills. In what world does a person attempting to gain business loose the ability to keep trying?? I guess it might be time for Upwork to have another competitor.

>Anyone else has thoughts on this because I'm starting to think about jumping on board with them if this is the case?

>Not a fan of what I'm hearing, definitely not a company I'm thinking of pursing.

Which of these statements is true OP?

Are 911 calls analog?

Do you believe that this lawsuit will be based on what you are already selling or for what you are researching with the R&D money? Personally I wouldn't worry about it until the papers show up. But in the meantime I would sell like crazy to stockpile cash. Plus selling like crazy is never a bad thing :-)

Why is this on HN? Anyone here trying to hack poop? Can I get a show of hands for all the poop hackers?

The free market should be questioned AFTER the current rules of said market is questioned. Rules can create inequality quicker than anything else.

> What we need to do is not to discuss about the extreme logic between libertarianism and conservatism, but to decide what money should and should NOT be able to buy.

Who do you think should have the power to decide that?? And why should someone not be able to buy something with money? This sounds like a great way to produce more black markets, and the spending of tax dollars to police it. Not ideal.

They did register under the international class 009 FYI, and Right to register and right to use are two different things. And usage may have been amended. Click on their prosecution history tab here: http://tsdr.uspto.gov/#caseNumber=87042422&caseType=SERIAL_N...

And in there statement of use it says: The mark was first used by the applicant, or the applicant's related company, licensee, or predecessor in interest at least as early as 08/22/2016, and first used in commerce at least as early as 08/22/2016, and is now in use in such commerce. The applicant is submitting one specimen for the class showing the mark as used in commerce on or in connection with any item in the class, consisting of a(n) specimen-a.jpg: Screenshot of "www.chowdr.us" website using mark specimen-b.jpg: Screenshot of Google Play Store using mark specimen-c.jpg: Screenshot of Apple App Store using mark.

So if you used it before august 22, 2016 you should fight it!

I do this video every night to un-wind my brain so I can sleep, only takes 3 minutes, works like a charm. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S0meWkcH8Ow

If voters could pay for the service would you?

I don't see it as a barrier to free and open process because the typical polling stations would still be open.

You could sell it to me....or you could add me as a co-founder and I will monetize it.

I don't see why they can't. Google spent 100,000 man hours studying why good teams are good teams.

Here is 7000+ remote jobs in startups https://angel.co/jobs#find/f!%7B%22remote%22%3Atrue%7D

You might have to make a free account if you don't have one.

Yeah construction is great. Me: "boss can I take a break?" Boss: "You got a break when you got this job, nubmnutz."

After astronauts came back from space a lot of them became alcoholics or developed other problems. NASA found that the reason for this is because most of them had only one goal in life, one target, to travel in to space. (what tops that!) With out any other goals they became lost, confused, and depressed. I say stay and take the buyout, and while you are bored in your boring day job chair, start thinking of awesome new goals, big and small, great new things to change your life, make a huge list of them that will keep you going till you are well over a hundred years old.

I have an idea I'm working on. Actually, I get ideas almost daily. What I don't have is engineers. I have been on here for a couple months looking for a co-founder. Add me to the team. Plus I'm already self employed so I don't mind risk and I can sell.

I'm a non-technical founder and I came here to find a partner. I also went to meetups, talked to people in google groups. I've asked all kinds of people even contractors on Upwork.com. I'm still looking.

ok, its not perfect yet but its getting there (i need asterisk, SMTP, and dns on the back end still). I call it a drop number (dropnumber.com) Want to be a co-founder? I'm piecing it together with contractors because I'm not super good at coding.

I made a button that I give to people in an email or text. It goes right in their phone. They never actually get my contact info but they can contact me anyways, with the button.

Indexing. Who needs Google when you have your own index? And I don't know about you but I can't get passed 16 pages of search results on google even though it has billions of results for the search term "contact us" (have it set to 50 per page)
