Don’t think changing between cars, buses, trains or boats at speed will make me stop using plains (sp).

But then again, crossing the Pacific or getting anywhere in the world from Australia requires some serious distance, unlike many European flights.

Can UpWork stick with a pricing model and not change it so frequently?

With the new pricing model, $30 per job and 3% paid by the employer, and 20% paid by the contractor. For a small $100 quick job bit of work, UpWork will take a quiet 53%.

It’s not actually the queens birthday.

In Australia, many states have different dates for the queens birthday.

So not a nightmare at all.

In Australia , pregnant women are told not to take ibuprofen unless told by doctor. Paracetamol Is the pain killer suggested, and only if really required.

We just had one of our remote developers resign yesterday (moving into a new exciting role), so are looking to hire. Drop me an email.

Agree. Now I have to do research to see who is being unreasonable. The employees or the employer. Be much easier if the article gave a summary of the issues.

I use a world clock with the cities I communicate with frequently added.

But then again, being in Australia, and most business being done in the US, Europe and Asia, you’re not going to memorise all the time zones.

MailerLite. Found it much easier to build an email welcome series automation sequence compared to Mailchimp. And it is free for 1,000 active subscribers.

It’s nice to get some competition for Uber.

In Melbourne we now have Taxify, Uber and GoCatch.

A forth in the mix would be great.

> I’d say they probably won’t evolve unless they start getting prosecuted for tax avoidance...

Or more people no longer want to pay in cash so their sales go down dramatically.

Avoiding tax on no or low income is a lot worse than paying tax on larger profits via electronic payments.

> Australians generally carry little to no cash around

I haven’t had cash in my wallet for a few weeks now. Apple Pay or PayPass/Wave for even small amounts is fine.

They just simply lose my business now if they don’t take card. And lots of the population is moving this way.

The old cash only to avoid taxes is only good if you actually make a decent income to avoid said taxes.
