If money is an issue - set a goal (say $2000) and work until you reach it.
Building simple website / setting up WordPress / educating people on value of online presence - not very scalable but good enough to get you going...
(I believe you have a techie label among your friends and family)
Converting chapel from 1838 into visionary environment to realise human potential and heal the planet.
No more BS jobs but flow state, peak performance, deep focus, quality work on projects that truly matter.
(I did my fair share of man hours stuck in chair, now making conscious deliberate effort to set free)

Why investigating after the fact, not during the M&A?
Otherwise the goal of the company is to make profit for shareholders - anything else would be illegal (against the law)

I also developed a concept of "Reality Check" similar to Touring Test (when VR and AI becomes so convincing >50% people won't distinguish it from base reality)... Too bad I'm on the corporate network and my personal website is blocked: https://genesis.re/wiki
Aside: do you believe psychedelics should be the part of obligatory astronaut training?

Friday night start, Monday morning internet fame.
Magic happens, programming skills give superpowers.
I've read the first 30% of the article - you are clearly the expert.
Then fast forward to the end: "if only I could figure out a way to make them pay"
Chronic fatigue (medical condition) is an issue and there should be a way to work around that...
Independent, remote work, creating infographics and visualisations for media outlets - that's a pretty large niche!
> The preliminary report by AAIU investigators found that the helicopter had hit the island, which was not registered in the craft's mapping system and was only identified by a crew member only 13 seconds before impact.

Here is a very "hacker like" research: https://www.gwern.net/LSD%20microdosing
I'm so happy that LSD Microdosing is hitting maintream, it's no longer niche hippy stuff.

EDIT: I read some comments "I think" - have these people actually tried using it? That's a serious ignorance, but I'm not commenting on their posts to avoid adding points to a dogma...
- official statemen: "no no no" - "here is the data" (behind closed doors)

HELL YEAH! Finally someone with the balls!
Bending over backwards - NOPE - why don't you contact support first? Why do you use course words? WELL DONE
How come?
My understanding is - communicate with the team - know the release dates - be working in critical moments...
Personally I would love to work 6 months a year or 3-4 days a week... To travel and to develop my side projects. Treating job as a way to pay bills in expensive city like London.
Unless - my personal incentives are aligned with the company - very often it's not the case.
How much of this terror is coming from "war on drugs"?
How Soon Is Now?
The book outlines the changes to our technical infrastructure - agriculture, energy, industry - and our social, political, and economic system that Pinchbeck deems necessary to avoid the worst consequences of global warming, species extinction, and so on.
That's what happens when companies are legally obliged to provide profit for shareholders.
That's why I highly respect Kickstarter (among many others) who decided to reincorporate at Public Benefit Company.
But why?

Would be nice to dig deeper and learn more about all the circumstances...
I resulted in signing the contract - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13929845 - and I was unhappy right from the start.
:(
(even in my own time, own equipment, not related to work)
Highly demotivational, knowing they own everything:
- cooking recipes
- yoga sequence
- drawing with my kids
- gardening
- photography
- urine and other waste material
I believe that giving power to the employees empowers them!
My genuine feeling - I'm not helping children in Africa, because that would mean I'm not helping rebuild Nepal earthquake.
Instead I'm focusing on healing the planet - global warming - leading to famine, migration to cities, civil warfare, refugee crisis etc...
Oxford, UK - come to North Wales - https://astralship.org - read more about our MISSION + FLOW + VOYAGES... Because our chapel is located in the secluded nature we plan intense voyages - total immersion, no distractions, peak performance, flow state.
Looking forward to hearing from you. Namaste.
Uber - all the recent examples - it must be truly exceptional environment.
Stellar growth, massive burn rate... I would imagine they are profitable, cashing 25% of the total fee?

In Winter there is not much Sun / daylight hours, and the energy usage is higher due to heating and lightning so other electricity production methods need to provide 100% of the demand anyway.
installation slowed by 85 percent
caused by the end of subsidies for solar farms and and incentives for homeowners
(I could never understood solar business in the the UK and rapid decline after subsidies has ended only proves the point)
Next time similar opportunity arise - I'll raise the money and hop on the bandwagon... :)
No wonder why they are $100B company.
Massive negligence.
