My guess is whenever the return to the prime investor is in a different form from their input ( a donor gets "did good" happiness return for $ put in) all sorts of ineffieciencies will come in.
In for profit it is $ return for $ input.
A good test of this is if fully volunteer labor non profits achieve outcomes better than those accepting $ - I dont know the answer but wonder.
There may be a slightly different interpretation too.
Ozymandias still has this traveler writing a poem about him and through it, us/audience, talking about him. Which (rightly or wrongly), is what Ozymandias wanted in the first place.
As a small start up when we ran into a similar problem while using google domains, they gave us a very hard time with bad support...something we could not afford then. I dont have a good alternative but wanted to mention this experience with google domains. Hope that helps.
For some this might work:
1. Just put your goal as lying flat in bed and moving your arms up and down 10 times in 180 deg.
2. Then move your legs up and down 10 times.
Stop. dont do more. Leave it at that. Do it again next morning or evening maybe 12 times. Then do what ever tempts you next.
Try it, at the least it wont hurt I hope :) and starts you at level 2 in the next few days.
one of your earlier comments can be paraphrased to "round em up and throw em out" and i am a fascist :)?
just answer this - is this what you propose: a H1b guy had been here 8 years, greencard is in process 4 years, scheduled to come in 2 more.. you want him fired and sent back home right away?
btw, i run a business. when you hire and do it right - you hire for value produced and then consider cost of worker. as a consumer you want the best prices. but you are not comfortable with how the market will ensure it delivers your want, especially in your field of work.
crawling out of woodwork refers to the closet trump supporters who did not speak up until now, there are plenty and you will see plenty more. like the guy whose comment i replied to originally. 47% and trending upwards.
trump has used extremely skilled techniques to mobilize crowds and influence people - even very intelligent people. he will continue to do so, since mob momentum is very very hard to fight against.
whether you realize it or no, its not about specific issues anymore because each of them is small by itself. you said you are gay, so just wait your turn after the H1b dudes, mexicans working fields producing our food and a few others are dealt with.
here they come, crawling out of the woodwork...emboldened. and this is just the beginning of who knows how long a time period..at least 4 years , maybe indefinite.
both this and parent comment who mentioned he is gay.
both pretty much saying, as long as it does not affect us and our group, let us disrupt the lives of people who came here legally and have paid taxes etc and throw them back.
its not that you are saying change the policy for new guys coming in who can then decide whether to come in- you actively want to disrupt the lives of people you probably see and work with everyday, maybe go to happy hour with.
who came here and have built a life with some long hard path to a greencard implied when they chose to take the H1 path.
today this group, tomorrow another, then the next - attack the non-enfranchised and weak, weaken the next group, attack.
I am glad Trump has run, spoken and reached this point.
We each now know and can remember going forward, if we so choose, how all the people we assign respect to acted when it mattered.
(And we should remember the actual meaningful actions with long term $ impact to the actor. Not get guiled by the arguments skillfully couching intent and rationalizing the actions).
wow, pretty amazing - i wish i could get away with stuff like this!
obama should have listed this as his top failure. they have actually proven that they are smarter than each and everyone of us - in acquiring money by any means and getting away with it. very impressive in a twisted way.
I have had the same experience. The car was returned dirty and there was damage on the body. They said they will pay me a measly $60. I asked for $180 since I spoke to a mechanic who said it will cost me that much in SF.
Since there was back and forth I said fine ok just give me the $60 saves me hassle I will foot the rest. I have not yet received the check this was several months ago.
Also another time we had left a credit card in the car by mistake. Someone ran up $700 in charges. Luckily card fraud protection covered us. Flight car did not give a crap when we reported it.
Don't use Flightcar, just take a shuttle or cab or whatever.
I just finished transferring my domains out of google to namecheap.
We are a legitimate, normal business. They unilaterally banned our site and took it down - with no access to transfer it out. Their technical team does not give a response in a timely manner.
Our small startup's site was down for 8 days!! If you would like to avoid our experience - never use Google registrar.
Now, I am reconsidering use of Google Apps or anything else from them for businesses.

Looks like they say there was no firefight, but I remember there was a guy from Bay area, Pakistani techie in Abottabad that night and he live tweeted the gun fight and explosions before any news came out. Wonder how that would fit this new narrative?
and if i recall correct, the first few seasons opening sequence song has mohammad and super best friends - so the image is in every episode of those seasons.
Based on how he talks and goes about doing his philanthrophy, it doesnt seem like Gates is doing it or for that matter, need it, to elevate his status. It is best to assume positive intent in such things.
i was in court to clear a minor ticket yesterday in SF and noticed the demographic of folks in there.
the demographic of the traffic court was mostly minorities and poor folks, completely out of whack with SF general population and what you expect traffic case tickets to reflect. Imagine the criminal cases.
this skew is even after accounting for pre filtering that happens before someone walks into the courtroom (who is ticketed by police, who pays early, who appears etc). Felt I was seeing the results of a system not working right.
