Ask them if they want you to consult for $50k/w. Tell them you have more ideas, and you are looking at different companies to consult for. Would they be interested or should I talk to their competitor?

If the IDF member is shooting at them from the apartment building, then it becomes a valid military target. This is very clearly spelled out in the Geneva conventions.
This is a tenuous hypothetical.
Huh, I feel like we have the opposite issue. We have all those teams and I’m not sure what they’re actually doing.
They should help the business with the evidence to make all kinds of decisions, and in a platform-team kind of way help you self serve data needed to make decisions in your team.

> WordPress and Automattic as Subject to EU Legislation
I'm loath to defend Mullenweg but WordPress.com is not 43% of the internet. WordPress (the software) is used by 43% of websites, WordPress.com is used by a few million, making it smaller than Wix, Squarespace and even other WordPress hosts like WPEngine.com. Automattic has no relationship with a meaningful amount of end-user data.
How does Jetpack play into that?
Wordpress.anything in general must be a data juristional nightmare. Every plugin has access to UGC and could be sending bits of that anywhere.

> Also that WP Engine was not actually providing WordPress because they were limiting a single resource-heavy feature. As if WordPress.com hasn’t been going even further in providing a limited WordPress experience since the beginning.
I was thinking the same thing!
> This means that many of the people who work for Automattic are technically external contractors despite acting on behalf of the company, holding business cards with the company logo or conducting WordCamp talks on behalf of the company. (Which rendered legal action about what I endured as good as impossible, as I did not have any rights as an actual employee and my contract was with Automattic in California, under US law.)
Many countries use duck tests for employment both for taxation and employment law. Does it quack like employment? Are you given instructions? Are you forbidden from subcontracting? Is there a fixed hourly rate? Are you required to work set hours? Etc.
And possibly human rights based law would pierce both anyway. For example you can be discriminated against as a customer in a shop and sue.

But you probably wouldn't take the time to write up a nice report and send it to Google either if they didn't pay. Or even try to find the bug in the first place.
(But yea, I think lots of people would sell exploits to criminals for enough money.)
Not worth it. Because now you are in the underbelly.

Indeed, their trademark hopping is actually only really when stressed/startled.
Many of the animal sanctuaries in zoos in Australia actually have little signs telling visitors not to be disappointed if they don't see the animals actually hopping: "Laying down and sunbathing, and the slow walk with their tail is a sign of relaxation and a lack of stress on the animal."
Oh. I did see one hopping across a local park. I didnt realize it might be stressed. I assumed like a dog they like to run.

So do humans, babies and the elderly especially.
What has 4 legs in the morning, 2 in the afternoon, and 3 in the evening?
The key here is how relaxed is the interpretation of "permanent".
Birds migrating are mostly zero legging it!
To answer the question: a yacht race?
Right, but assuming constant acceleration, there's an enormous difference between accelerating all the way to the target and only accelerating halfway to the target, and then decelerating the rest of the way.
Silly question. Can you do a "drive by". In other words not slow down. How much time you need to "take the photo". I am using terms like Randall in Thing Explainer here!!
Maybe it has further missions in deep space after that. Or look in other directions and use other stars.
(Anyway. Matt. If you're reading this, then I've seen you've been very generous with your checkbook for the past couple of weeks. I am open to burying the axe to a certain extent but that would require paying for estimated unpaid overtime and on-call hours, providing proper compensation for keeping me for almost a year on a trialmattician contract and destroying my mental and financial well-being among other things. You know how to find me. If not, I'll see you in Brussels.)
Appreciate the reply! I also commented more for the general readership of HN.
Rights are kept by exercising them.
You rarely want to go to court (maybe 0.001 times per lifetime) but just indicating you know your rights goes a long way. Read your country's laws - there are probably friendly descriptions online.
Ideally work somewhere where this is not needed though.
For example if the company is hostile to basic things like if you country has sick leave and you take it and it is an issue then I would say move on quickly. Unless you are happy. Maybe they are paying a lot or you are a founder, that would be different.
So know your rights. Understand a contract is subject to wider laws and some conditions may be severed and unenforcable.
Really. If I had to choose learn Rust or learn some law. Learn some law.
IANAL, but a citizen, which is the point!
