After some investigation, it looks like only mailgun.org is declared in ValiMail but not mailgun.net, e.g. a DNS query for 198.244.56.66._ip.c66.c5341538.usw1.send.mailgun.net._ehlo.upwork.com._spf.vali.email
returns "v=spf1 include:mailgun.org -all"
I never used the technique below - I went freelancing before I had the chance.
If I am asked such a question, I would offer a "blind exchange" - I will write my absolute minimum that is barely acceptable (i.e. I won't be happy and probably will start looking for a better job soon after hiring) and fold the paper; they will write their absolute maximum that they are willing to afford if I was their most IDEAL candidate (i.e. they should be afraid of losing me) and fold the paper; then we will simultaneously exchange the papers to each other. The negotiation should become a lot more interesting after this exchange.
I have heard that in Netherlands there used to be (not sure if it is still there) a system where you have for example 4 rooms of children. Room A contains all children that are ahead of rooms B, C, D. If a child from room B learns pretty quickly - the child is moved to room A. However, if the child leaves behind the other children in room B - that child is moved in room C. Same for room C - those who can not catch up are moved to room D. In this way everyone is learning at max capacity. Those who can learn faster and better are not slowed down by others who can not (or do not want to) keep the pace. Everyone is happy - children, teachers, parents, community.
And what is wrong with competition? If someone else makes a product or service better than you - why should you get the benefits and not him/her?
The correct solution is to freely share all knowledge (IP). Open source is not perfect but it is a step in the right direction. P2P and torrents is another step in the right direction.
If you drink water which contains fluoride - you will destroy the pineal gland. Guaranteed. Same with a paste. One more thing - any paste by definition is an abrasive substance. So it will slowly remove the enamel - not build it.
Any fluoride paste quietly calcificates your pineal gland. Try something natural, like Xylitol or even just pour a tea spoon of sodium bicarbonate into a glass of water and wash your teeth with it. Keep the mix in your mouth for 5 minutes. You can also use sunflower oil (a spoon of it) and rinse it in your mouth for 15-20 minutes.
The book SELLING THE WHEEL by Jeff Cox and Howard Stevens is quite good in explaining the lifecycle of every product (not sure about services). Must-read for every product owner/seller/developer.
I recently started reading Henry Ford books and to me it looks like he has achieved the best of both worlds - at least until he passed away. One thing especially resonates with me - decreasing the prices without reducing the wages so that the profit gets close to zero, then find ways to make the manufacturing more efficient and less costly. While the new profit gradually grows - gradually increase the salaries. Then rinse and repeat. In the end people have good salary, can buy cheap (but still high quality) products and have joy while working.
Perhaps they realize by first hand that Russian army is the lesser evil than the Ukrainian government or the local oligarchy.
On the other hand, there apparently is some guirilla activity in Palestina and Gaza against the Israel occupation. Does it mean that Israel army possess too weak a stomach?
I use stock Win7 SP1 with just a couple updates (recently TLS and SHA-512, but only 27 hotfixes in total) and the only way to break something is if I deliberately run unverified executables that were manually downloaded from untrusted sources. And since I don't do this - my machine is still running the same installation that I did on December 24th 2014.
