Nice, seems like a way to replace the traditional performance review - set clear expectations and document performance highlights in each 1:1. I just wonder how you can then incorporate promotions, raises, bonuses, etc.
What you have is a great, simple, direct name for a utility script. Better to ignore the trademark / brand FUD.
So foreign workers need their employers consent to allow them to to go home. Easy recipe for slavery.
He still owns all the code he wrote. If Billy uses that code in his own business that would be unauthorized and legal action can be taken.
It's all fun and games until your DB administrator gives you an Envelope built app that you have to use every day.
The key point as I understand it from reading:
- if I make more money than the average, i get the savings and Even does not make any money off of it
- if I make less money than the average, Even will give me an interest free loan that I don't have to pay back
Seems fairly easy for someone to game this system so they get more $$ than they pay in, how do you protect against that? Freelance works on Uber / Lyft / etc can set the amount of hours they work easily. And then stop using Even when they've earned more than they've paid in.
To be clear: I like the idea a lot, I'm just looking for more info about how it intends to stay operational.
Could we really cause an earthquake? How many nukes would it take? How much would the operation cost? What if someone steals a nuke while they are installing it (add some more to security cost)? What if we can't predict how it will react and end up causing more damage?
Could go on and on with these questions for an hour. And each of these questions means more time / money to come up with solutions.
The easy, stupid, and probably correct answer is... let nature sort it out. Our species is great at surviving and rebuilding. Better to worry about stuff we can control and fix than try to attempt to control things wildly beyond our means.
