kbelbina | 12 years ago | on: Why the 9-to-5 Day Is So Tough on Creative Workers
I run a consultancy so its easier but we pay hourly and provide benefits (payroll taxes, health, 401k). People can work whatever hours they want and from where ever they just keep the team updated and request a workload consistent with their expected hours. I have team members who work 50 hours a week and some who work 20 hours.

kbelbina | 12 years ago | on: Making a loss on Bitcoin
You can't prove that there is no edge in Bitcoin trading. You can prove it with slot machines.
kbelbina | 12 years ago | on: Making a loss on Bitcoin
