TheFonz , to xkcd in xkcd #2898: Orbital Argument

Oh shit I’m like four chapters in. Now I’m really scared.

TheFonz , to Men's Liberation in Russia stares into population abyss as Putin sends its young men to die

True, but we don’t know how many exited Finland so it could be a wash, no?

TheFonz , to Work Reform in A billionaire wrote this letter to Google a year ago. How likely is that Google's layoffs and actions since then are at least partly because of this?

Yeah I see what you mean. My bad. I did get fixated on the guy’s freelance thing. That being said, you should take COL into consideration when talking pay. I haven’t lived in the US in quite a while so I’m not sure what 300k gets you in some places like the west coast.

You’re fixated on the hourly cost and not taking into account expenses. Also, in the US freelancers have to buy their own health insurance and equipment which is insanely expensive.

Freelancers also don’t get full billing because they are not working all the time, so that 150/hour has tom over all the down time when work is not available. Freelancers also pay their own taxes and pension plans.

You’re just out of touch with operating costs for freelancers so maybe stop before you do some homework.
