Business software is changing fast. Notion is changing how we organize, Slack is replacing internal email, and Miro is transforming how we whiteboard.

But one thing hasn't changed: relationships.

Relationships are the most important part of business but somehow our tools have been left in the past.

It's time for an upgrade.

We have engineering roles across the stack. Tyescript, React, Node, Postgres, GCP...

Sick people often seek alternative therapies because doctors do not have any treatments to offer

He had the option of chemotherapy with a 50 / 50 chance of long term survival.

The article is not about seeking alternative treatments as a last resort, it is about disregarding well proven science in favour of unproven (and in this case ineffective) alternatives.


The thinking goes: A business should have enough cash to weather a storm. If you've paid out cash you have more than enough to weather a storm (and therefore don't need money). If you need money and have paid out dividends than you shouldn't have, you didn't have enough cash reserve.


No, that's not the thinking at all.

As your sibling points out:

"The article does a bad job at explaining it, but companies that take aid cannot pay dividends or buy back stock until they return the aid."

So it has nothing to do with historical dividend payments - you just can't pay dividends while receiving the state aid.

Would you consider contractors/freelancers?


I made a Chrome extension a few months ago to fix the design, you'll find it here: https://github.com/attio/google-ad-fixer

I'll try and submit to the Chrome Store, let's see if it gets in :)


I also have one I submitted over the weekend. They haven't taken it down yet :). Mine is just geared towards my dislike of the favicons, not distinguishing the styling of the ads.

Nice! The results look much better without favicons, I'm going to install this too.


I just created a uBlock origin rule. It seems the extension gets the same job done by removing all HTML elements with the class "xA33Gc" or "K7JcSb" (source: https://github.com/Jtfinlay/gsearch-hidefavicon/blob/master/...).

In uBlock Origin one could add the rules:

www.google.com##.TbwUpd > .xA33Gc www.google.com##.TbwUpd > .K7JcSb

Or more generally: www.google.com##.TbwUpd > img

to hide the icons...


The UK price includes VAT, the US price doesn’t include sales tax.

When you add sales tax (which is paid most of the time) the difference narrows.


Although to be fair most American states have way less sales tax than the UK VAT, which is 20%.

California - 7.5%, Florida - 6%, New York State - 4%.

I was told there was also an EU electronics recycling levy, although I'm not sure how much that adds.


Your California value excludes local sales tax, in SF it's 8.5%, though restaurants usually add another "Healthy SF" charge to cover the various mandates around providing health insurance to workers, often bringing it over 10%.

Sticker prices are only loosely related to the out the door price in the US.


Not all states have sales tax, of course, just most.

I don't think it's just that town, it's the world!


A sign that there's plenty, at least. The UK does have more of a weight issue than other parts of the world though. I'd say it's mostly cultural, with beer and relatively cheap yet bountiful food being the main culprits. Takeaway food / culture is another factor. I've always found the UK to be somewhere in between the US and western Europe in a lot of cultural ways (wrt food, TV adverts, etc)
