Insane. I always change them when I shower which is at least once a day and quite often 3 times a day (Morning, after gym, after sex). I wonder if this guy is just not showering. I don't understand how you get out of a shower and put on dirty/old underwear....

There use to be a setting you had to turn on to install apps directly from APKs without going through Play Store but I think it's gone now (stupid as it would prevent this sort of thing for 95% of users)...

Let it go, you're a business owner, don't get caught up in legal battle because your feelings are hurt or because you don't get awarded a contract which you incurred 0 expense other than a bit of time in going after....

I would get a company up as soon as you are starting to incur expenses or try to get some revenue. If that's right away then start one right away. I wouldn't run any transactions through partnership or as sole trader personally ( I have in the past ).

If you want it to be a real business...

Probably would lean inside personally just because you can bill for any extra days/time worked. How does it work in banking with notice period? If it's like 6 months and they won't pay you out then that's another reason to go inside. If they will just pay you out for it, then maybe it's a reason to...

I can relate.

I spent 5 years as a developer where I did pretty mediocre work (my own admission no one has ever said that to me). Like you I was doing VB.Net and SQL Server transitioning to C# about half way through, I did 1 project on ASP.Net for a few months. I also did an iOS app so...

I don't think you did anything wrong by getting accidently placed at same role by 2 recruiters, it happens.

B got you that interview though not A, not that it matters it's not really up to you to decide who gets to place you. That's really between the agencies and the client. Just stay...

It's hard to answer Q1 because contract rates don't align with perm salaries really. You have your standard technical role which is around 60k perm and 500 day rate.. so you'd think 100k perm would be like 850 a day but it's probably not that high. What day rate would it be? depends on industry, role,...

It's funny I think people always have this impression that tech start ups are these fun places where everyone is using the newest and latest systems and processes... In reality they are growing so fast and no one knows what they are doing that the entire companies run in excel. They have no processes,...

Robert Half salary guide is pretty good. It doesn't obviously account for any niche skills but I think Robert Half's salary guide is more accurate than those websites that were posted. I haven't looked at Hays so can't comment on that....

Nothing concrete yet, still young. I just bought another property in my wife's home country that's right by the sea, so always have the option of going there. I'm not in the UK right now, in a 3rd country just relaxing while working remote, not sure what I'll do after this contract. If I am able to...

Whats shocking to me is that they havent had these for past 20-30 years. Seems like such a no brainer....

The more money I make the easier my job is. When you're making 150k a year you usually don't get asked to produce something in an hour. They usually give you a couple weeks or couple months. Things are not so time pressured. When I was younger and working for less money like 50k I was constantly under...

How transmissible do you think it is?... Only like half of people (depends which study you look at) who live with someone with an active symptomatic infection... get infected.

So I wouldn't just assume everyone is going to get infected.. those are the people with the closest contact possible...
