Yep, this is what people are not understanding. Too many engineers and not enough business owners on HN. The hardest part of starting a business is getting the network effects on your side, it isn't the tech.
Sure, but then why have a market for hundreds of coins? We dont have a public market for all the craigslist wannabes because they are not relevant at that level.
yeah, I've made my money back so I'm not as concerned about the $25, but there goes any chance of growing the revenue in any meaningful way.
I am getting a kick out of all the people here saying that "no one pays for extensions". I've consistently made $50-100 from mine with no marketing whatsoever.
I get an occasional request for new features maybe once a month. If I can add them in a few minutes I do, otherwise I tell them it isn't supported and won't be. So basically, no.
Speak to your manager about it. Be prepared to speak to legal about it.
Not doing so - even if you don't do what they're asking - is possible grounds for disciplinary action if discovered later, e.g. these people are caught bribing others, their files are gone through, and your name pops up as somebody they approached and it's realised you kept quiet. At that point you may have damaged the trust your employer has in you.
The advice here to tell your employer and law enforcement is such an awful idea. They're more likely to target you and suspect you coordinated with them even if you didn't. HR and legal isn't there to help you - they're there to help the company.
I know a person who is literally from a third world country. And he operates some Florida based cosmetic shops virtual assistance effort. They have a 30 member team operating day and night doing something shady.
People often underestimate how successful the successful dropshippers are.
What you're getting paid at Amazon has the dimension of money/time; a bribe is presumably just money. We need to know the time period to reasonably compare the two :). Otherwise it's like saying "the distance to city is much larger than the speed of my car".
I work at a different large tech company and there are absolutely internal ways to report any kind of suspicious contacts. I'd be shocked if every large company didn't have at least some way.
$100k is a very tidy sum in India. Even $10k isn't pocket money.
This is why those labelling the comments about Indian outsourcing as racist as missing the point. Outsourcing significant business operations to developing countries makes corruption and hostile interference really really cheap - and therefore far more likely.
good videos! im so reluctant to watch this topic on youtube because so many people are trying to sound smart / hip, but you are perfectly focused on the actual subject. thanks!
