.. Or you could pay in crypto. Or you could convert your crypto to cash in a Wendys parking lot.

Had a similar experience happen to me many years ago.

But if I was doing it all over again I'd make sure to have a signed one page agreement on some points like this:

- Both agree to work a minimum of xx hours per week on the project

- Both agree on a reasonable hourly rate for each others time and then track your hours while working

- If theres no venture capital then the hourly rate you both 'earn' is in credits towards future profits or equity

- If one person isn't meeting their expected contribution requirements over a reasonable period they forfeit their stake in the business

The OP didn't state anywhere in his post that this was specific to women, just one particular individual who happened to be female. Generally when you label someone you require a justification for it rather than just a projection of your own world view

Not right now you can't. Australians are flat out not allowed to travel outside the country during the pandemic unless you're attending the Olympics or a politician

What would you recommend to someone who is looking for a good way to discover classical music?

If your hypothesis was true everyone in the industry would already be billing for it

Crypto will have to overcome these hurdles first:

- Slower and more difficult to use (especially compared to saved CC auto-complete)

- No rebills (the biggest problem)

- No credit

- No payment protection

'Friendly' fraud is a problem that was supposed to be solved with 3D Secure (Verified by Visa etc) but it still doesn't protect merchants for billing code 5967 which is what anything involving adult sites is typically billed on.

If Visa/MC wanted to fix this problem they could overnight, but they refuse to.

Speculators. It's not so hard to imagine people lining up to be first to buy whatever the latest crazy NFT there is at the chance of a 10x-100x return

I'm wondering why if this continues happening the US consulates have not put in some kind of detection hardware? Seems like an easy solution

Yep, and now Apple can no longer say "Sorry, we can't put a backdoor into our devices" - one already publicly exists

This is also true in developing Asia. I'm in Thailand and although you won't see many Thai people wearing them they all know what they are and almost all of them would like to own one if they weren't considered such an extravagant expense. Apple watch is basically a luxury item and so that means that as these other countries start to become more wealthy it's just more growth for Apple as more people start being able to afford it.

I really hope Dave2D does a review of this laptop to increase awareness about it. It's a great concept and they deserve success

Imagine how many billions they'd waste on building that for it to get hacked 15 seconds after its launched

I was staying on the small island in Thailand where Mikko lives in when he returned from the caves.

Word had obviously spread through the local Thai community that he was on the passenger ferry and there must have been 100 of them lining the streets to cheer him for his bravery once he arrived.

It was a really touching thing to see.

I think just let people make their own choices

Do you think they really want to help people or is it more likely they are trying to get ahead of being broken up or overtaken by a government appointed authority

Haha. I love that "Pigeon fancier" is the actual dictionary term for someone that keeps and breeds pigeons.

> which requires a very sturdy mast and stays (guys) which support the mast.

Did we read the same article? I read that the system was completely autonomous at the press of a button and automatically retracted in bad weather and for bridges

Yeah, seems totally reasonable to not have metrics after spending $2k-$3k on hardware. /s

This would be really useful in a Zombie apocalypse

I prefer Vrbo for this - unlike Airbnb it's for whole homes only (not rooms in someones house) so thats one less filter you need to select when searching.

They also tend to be peoples vacation homes and not created-for-Airbnb investments with spartan cheap furniture and crappy pillows and you can't even find a pair of scissors in the kitchen drawer. The quality of the listings, management, cleaning seems to be much higher

And to top it off, their Search function actually treats you like an adult - you can select SORT filters so you're not forced to wade through a bunch of crap listings because Airbnb's lead UX developer hates you and doesn't value your time.

Really interesting to hear some insight it from someone who is actually doing it for a change. Not having lived in the US for a while I wasn't aware that insurance was available for this rate with pre-existing conditions. Sounds a lot more reasonable than what i've heard - do you have more information about your insurance plan?

Not only that but when you combine it with having the freedom to relocate to a low cost of living destination suit your optimal lifestyle the benefits stack up even more.

For example living 15 minutes to world class hiking trails or surf spots. Not having to take a flight or drive for hours each way to go do those things on weekends you can now do them every day before or after work. Getting to live in a large house out in nature, far away from the city crowds.

It's a game changer

Yes, sort of like the old chestnut "Women earn 70% of what men do" It's ideological marketing

Sounds good on paper, but you missed a small detail that people renouncing might want to consider: You can no longer live in the US. You will need to apply for a US visa to get back into the US to visit friends and family, and you may get rejected as the issuing officer may see that you recently renounced citizenship and considers you a risk of overstaying illegally.

I've been living overseas in SE Asia for many years and met hundreds of self-proclaimed digital nomads. Almost none of them are doing it for the tax benefits.

I imagine the main reason nobody does this is due to the minefield of legal issues, being accused of exploitation, etc. Not to mention the personal safety risk of your staff, and so on.

You just described a botnet, which have been around for about 20 years

Not at all. Many countries already do this. For example, in Australia, capital gains is considered as income. It contributes to your progressive tax bracket the same way income does. For property, you do not pay capital gains tax when you sell your primary residence (that you live in) but you do on investment properties.

Its amusing that less than 24 hours ago on the 'how to write a resume that converts' thread many people commented that "Resumes are completely outdated", and now here we are with more negativity on this modern approach.

For entry level jobs requiring young people that are customer facing, a video application makes a lot of sense to me.

It also removes a lot of the awkwardness Gen Z's might feel going down to their local retailer and asking if they are hiring.

My instinct says props to TikTok for at least trying something that's different and thinking a bit outside of the box
