Don't use docusign.

I applied to work there once and they didn't hire me, so obviously they're jerks.

I love my roommate, she's a wonderful person, but she is consistently fucked over by art clients because she has literally never done any research into how to interact with someone when you're doing commissions

I've been trying to get her to show me what she makes people sign before they get her art for months. Today she finally did and oh my god it has nothing in it about reselling her art, or crediting her when distributing, or not altering it. Basically it's just - you're acknowledging your intention to pay me for this art I'm going to do.
She also does very little to ask the client what exactly they want, or to force them to elaborate on specifics, so she often winds up re-doing things and apparently it's never occurred to her that she should renegotiate price if somebody wants her to re-color something or to make a bunch more versions of it!

There's nice and then there's dumb

I would really like to see nuclear rockets used for the next space missions. Under the max speed of an Orion drive, you could get to mars from the sun in something like 2-8 hours?

That's... that's intense.

plus three months of deceleration so you don't simply bomb mars with a human payload :P

As a person who hates both humanity and mars

Didn't we fire missiles at the moon until we hit it?

Does HelloSign have a mobile version? I use it as a Chrome app and it does the job.

And is free.

Well three months with with conventional rocketry is where we're at now.

It really depends on Orion's throughput. The full speed travel time looks like it works out to be something like 6.5 hours. Double that for deceleration at the worst case?

Mars has a relatively thin atmosphere, you could approach it with much greater speed?

During the Pascal-B nuclear test, a 900-kilogram (2,000 lb) steel plate cap (a piece of armor plate) was blasted off the top of a test shaft at a speed of more than 66 kilometres per second (41 mi/s). Before the test, experimental designer Dr. Brownlee had estimated that the nuclear explosion, combined with the specific design of the shaft, would accelerate the plate to approximately six times escape velocity.[9] The plate was never found, but Dr. Brownlee believes that the plate never left the atmosphere, as it may even have been vaporized by compression heating of the atmosphere due to its high speed. The calculated velocity was sufficiently interesting that the crew trained a high-speed camera on the plate, which unfortunately only appeared in one frame, but this nevertheless gave a very high lower bound for the speed. After the event, Dr. Robert R. Brownlee described the best estimate of the cover's speed from the photographic evidence as "going like a bat out of hell!"[9][10] The use of a subterranean shaft and nuclear device to propel an object to escape velocity has since been termed a "thunder well".

This incident was reputedly used as part of the technical justification for the Orion project for possible use of nuclear blasts for outer-space propulsion.

I find it helpful to be the kind of person who would exploit another's labor.

Then you know how to phrase contracts. Think of the things you would do, and then articulate rules to prevent others from doing those things to you.

What I'm saying is that you could profit off your roommate.

well, I mean, we're talking about traveling around 21.5 million miles per hour including both acceleration and deceleration that doesn't kill the passenger is all i'm saying

Yeah, I think there is something to be said about your friend just possibly being naive.

Most entrepreneurs tend to have a (or some) mentor(s) as they get started, to help with things like contract structure and what is currently standard practice in a specific market segment.

Also, that isn't to say that some people might just be more enlightened, or had some experiences where they're more inclined to make better contracts or not let people walk over them.

I have never done a commissioned art. I would love to. I really want to get back into arting.

But, you know. Babby. Overtime. Transition.


Basically I just more hours in the day where I'm not busy or dying of sleep deprivation.

I have a hard time asking for money when I do IT work for someone

thankfully the guy that keeps having me come back for his various locations firmly subscribes to the "We don't use people, we hire people" mentality and frequently pays me more than I ask

I think it's a self confidence thing, like if I don't do the job exactly correctly I feel really bad about it. You paid me for data recovery and I didn't successfully recover any data, why would you pay me for that? etc
