I don’t disagree, but I'm also not talking about debating a Mediterranean diet vs keto, I’m talking about cutting out fast food and big gulps…

If people want to exercise choice - by all means, and I’m happy at the margin to punish Boeing, but I agree from a personal risk standpoint it’s probably inconsequential. I’m alway…

Those same people are now in the rehab business bilking the healthcare system for money

HK is over unfortunately

But to be fair, none of those hedge fund’s employees are employed by the caymans entity, and the only reason they are not in the US (at least for US hedge funds) is to accept non-t…

The short version is that the employee’s country of residence will dictate on all of these variables rather than the country of the employer. I don’t think a foreign employee of a …

Yes they can

Short version - do it where or near where the bulk of your 1) customers 2) investors 3) leadership team are likely to be located, that also is not an administrative hassle. Stay ou…

Walmart actually diligences it’s vendors and manages its upstream supply chain - Amazon does zero diligence on its vendors and doesn’t manage its upstream supply chain

I guess what I’m trying to get at is, as a practical matter, there are many tasks that are <1day of work, how do you bill for those tasks? Hyperbolic example: have a 1hr client cal…

I think the incentive to bill 41hrs vs 40hrs is real, but talk to a lawyer about whether they care about 2301hrs and 2300hrs for the year and I think you’ll get Avery different ans…

The key to being able to transition to value based pricing is having a differentiated skill set

Do you double bill client days? Many client tasks may just be a phone call or emails?

Slightly off topic, and talking to users is the first step, be careful what you wish for. As an example, I subscribe(d) to NYT Cooking, they solicited my feedback on the search fun…

Ehh - the more typical one is that the person already paid tax on it when they made the money the first time
