As a general rule never take your whole fee in advance, nor any more than a small retainer. When fully paid beforehand, you are more than a common mortal if you can feel the same interest in the case, as if something was still in prospect for you, as well as for your client. And when you lack interest in the case the job will very likely lack skill and diligence in the performance.

Before Grand Theft Autocomplete destroyed most of my industry, I used to say I had something I wished tech company senior management - basically, the C-suite - would understand and take to heart. I haven't got to say it in a while, but feel it needs to be written down somewhere.
So here goes.
If you think you can meaningfully motivate tech workers with company-branded knapsacks and tee-shirts, while senior management pockets bonuses and stock incentives worth 6 or 7 figures, you need to start hiring smarter tech workers.
There is very, very little that is more demotivating than being thrown scraps of useless tat branded with the company logo as a permanent reminder of just how little their contribution is valued.

The government's newly introduced "active retirement" scheme, allowing pensioners to earn €2,000 tax-free from the new year, is facing sharp criticism from lead... https://news.osna.fm/?p=28437 | #news #costly #economist #incentive #loopholes

#AI + the question of #ownership: "#TeHiku shows that when AI tools are built by organizations with entirely different #incentive structures in place, they can produce wildly different results. As long as AI is designed for the purposes of the #competitive #accumulation of capital, firms will continue to find ways to exploit labor, degrade the environment, take short cuts in data extraction, and compromise on safety, because if they don’t, one of their competitors will."

So, #Trump has announced this via a toot:
"Our great Mortgage Agencies, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, provide a vital service to our Nation by helping hardworking Americans reach the American Dream — Home Ownership. I am working on TAKING THESE AMAZING COMPANIES PUBLIC, but I want to be clear, the U.S. Government will keep its implicit GUARANTEES, and I will stay strong in my position on overseeing them as President."
Translation:
1. Fannie and Freddie will become ordinary commercial corporations, with owners, profit & loss statements, stockholders and analysts' ROI expectations, and all the crap that follows from that.
2. They will be expected to generate significant profits for their new, private owners.
3. There will be zero risk to the private owners, because the government will still backstop the mortgages that Fannie & Freddie underwrite.
Analysis: this is creating exactly the same incentive structure that resulted in the subprime mortgage meltdown of 2007-2008: they make money off every mortgage written, regardless of how risky it is, and they don't have to carry the risk themselves, so there's no reason to ensure the credit-worthiness of the applicants.
Prediction: in 5 years, or 10 years, an even bigger mortgage bubble will pop, leaving utter devastation. And the government will bail the bankers and private equity out, with the public's tax dollars.
