I'm an EU citizen and always saw going to a restaurant as a social event, somewhere to gather with friends, family, etc to have a good time. I never went to a restaurant to eat. Eating something delicious was just a bonus.

You have absolutely no way to negotiate your base salary above the band which was already known when we created the position

I don't actually want to negotiate the base salary, but I want to know before hand if all the time invested in interviews and the risk taken when switching jobs is worth it for me.

You should care about your total compensation anyway and neither cash bonus, nor equity is covered in the disclosure, although especially for senior positions, those are very substantial part of your compensation.

No, because equity and all the other benefits besides the base salary are most of the time at the company's whim - I might or not receive them and I'll have only the freedom to choose between options offered by the company, not real freedom.

The content should be just the title repeated a few times, but phrased differently.

For a long time I had problems falling asleep, no matter how physically or mentally tired I was. And after some introspection I found out that I could not fall asleep because I kept thinking actively about the day that passed or making plans for the next day.

Now I can fall asleep in 10-15 minutes by focusing that mental energy into imagining a favorite place and once the image is established in my mind I let go of control. Then the image kind of comes alive on its own - I like to imagine a clearing in a forest so all kind of creatures appear randomly. I think all this random auto-generated sensory input overrides the real one allowing me to fall asleep.

Of course, it helps if there are no sudden changes in your real environment (loud sounds, sharp changes in lighting, etc.)

It sounds crazy, but it works for me.

I think it will be nice to stay as it is for the most part, but for a comment of your own you should have the ability to enable notifications for direct answers. It would be really useful when I have follow up questions.

Maybe add a limit on how many 'followed threads' you could have active at the same time, so they discourage automating this behavior and make you really think if the thread is that important for you at the moment.

I was working recently on a similar project and I knocked my head in the GDPR walls; the most annoying being TechCrunch - you don't just get a modal that you could bypass, they send you to another site.

Did you find a way to deal with this hindrance ?

On the other part of E.U., in Romania, no matter what kind of business you want to start you need to battle with the bureaucracy.

Out of high-tech domain, I was thinking that my grandma could sell the jam she makes - but she can't sell it legally if it's produced in her own house - no matter how low is the production. Maybe just at some kind of farmers market, but that is iffy.

If I want to invoice some custom development for software, I can not do it as an individual. I either need a BS in Compute Science or setup a SRL.

The romantic view of starting out in the garage is quite illegal in these parts.

You need to spend a lot just to test a business idea. And what yous spend is not actually investing in the business, but just wasting time and resources with the bureaucracy.

Any recommendation on how to make the e-commerce world find you? And especially the large ones ?

I was thinking about scouring the web for e-commerce sites with bad performance and just send them a cold email with some simple actionable items.

My IP hasn't changed in about a year, although it is supposed to be dynamic.

On the other hand I use extensively a torrent tracker and the site shows nothing.

I've been doing the same for the past 10+ years.

The problem that I found with it, is that a recurring receiver (let's say a client) will eventually start trusting your minutes so much that they don't even bother to read them and just answer with 'Looks good' and basically you lose the power of minutes.

To counter this, recently I've been trying to insert one wrong bullet point from the beginning, making the receiver pay more attention down the line. I don't have yet enough data points to see if this approach works.

Do you have any recommendations of online resources or books that can get a web programmer (experience in PHP / C# ) up to speed with clojure ecosystem ?

But couldn't this be improved by just adding the 'condensed version' of the reason in the bottom line? For example:

'To improve team morale, we will reduce the number of days that employees can work from home from three to one day per week effective December 1st.'

Sorry if it's offtopic, but can you give me an estimate of how much is Paddle charging? Their pricing page is not really helpful. Also, how easy it was to implement into your systems?

14. Move the deadline 2 months in the future.

One reason that I use Firefox DevTools mostly is because in the inspector it shows you what events are attached to a DOM element. It's really helpful for debugging legacy applications. Sure, Chrome has something similar but it's a bit more hidden.

Maybe a way to cancel a join?
