Out of curiosity, what are the favored money laundering methods of modern day? More creative/impressive one you've heard of?

Is this link messed up for everyone else?

Fair enough, but this issue comes up consistently in many different areas and it has resulted in the the current app store stereotype of fickle, unfair and even schizophrenic.

This is not the Libertarian response. Google and Apple are now stewards of a captive audience--namely smartphone users. They possess a partial monopoly that should be unrestricted to competing products using their platform. IE vs. other bro

You've made the point that they are making--Apple doesn't care about their customer's demands. They won't reinstate it, not because of some possible wishy-washy legal issue, but because they just don't care enough t

We've got quite a few years to go... but I firmly believe that we will actually beat his prediction. Artificial intelligence surpassing that of humans is an inevitability. If we accept that the 'mind' is the sum of the parts

I think "Jiro Dreams of Sushi" is streaming on Netflix and is an excellent documentary worth your time. It's not some glamorous, deifying depiction of Jiro himself--it actually balances his success with the personal cost he p

ok, IANAL and I'm not even a patent amateur, but I'm not an idiot and making my way logically through the idealized process, this is what I see: Now you've heard the old adage that invention is 1% inspiration, right? Well tha

You are misinformed about the nature of public office. Legislators act on the will of the voters, unless their is influence from lobbying groups. Without the emails and phone calls, an elected official has no idea about the numbers on eithe

So they mentioned approving stock as a dividend for shareholders... does that imply a split? Did anyone see where they specified a split ratio?

I think this is the smartest solution. It would be a pyrrhic victory if he continues on this course. Not to mention, he could cause a higher court ruling that he doesn't want.

I can't argue with the perfectly within his rights part, but why is the later issue 'laughable?' It's not rhetoric. It's a matter of fact and not opinion that state agencies have limited resources. I don't have

Ugh, it had to be Chris Dolan defending this family. They should've hired somebody more respectable than the guy who defended the Jahi McMath family. He is an affront to rational thinking in society.

Same with intoxication. Technically speaking, any sex under the influence of alcohol is non-consensual.

Laughing at 'Bill Gates is an asshole.' I've heard this anecdotally about everyone on your list, but not about him. People malign Microsoft and Windows, but please show me anecdotes about Gates the person being an asshole.

This is an important issue that has not yet been tackled in regards to doctor-patient interactions. This relationship has a lot of legal doctrine and is very much 'one-way' in the information control--in a nutshell, HIPAA (law) pr

I agree with the revenue generation/political issue... I think those unfairly influence traffic safety laws. I think there are certainly some areas where speed limits should be much higher, but my point is that you need to balance your

It's not a strawman because eggregious accidents are the ones that generate excesive 'reactionary' changes to local roads. Particularly tragic accidents are the ones that can get political and media coverage necessary to caus

The flaw in your argument is, "I trust myself driving, but I don't trust anyone else." I am a great driver and people had been present when I got myself out of 'sticky' situations--avoided red-light runner t-bones,

I agree and it is something of a strawman that I put up, but my other points stand.

BTW, I read the Australian article and it doesn't tackle the real issue. I don't care if the NSA is spying on foreign citizens, I care if the NSA has even gathered one iota of data about me, when there is no suspicion that I speci

The NSA is spying unnecessarily. More people die in DUIs in the US each year than in terrorism since 2001 (since ever possibly?) but we don't routinely monitor text messages for signs of drunkenness or even mandate breathalyzers as you

This is an honest post, thanks for sharing. I am confused by something though. I have only (to my knowledge) known one person that got a perfect score on the SAT. The reason is that it requires both reasoning as well as 'stamp collecti

Laughing at 'unsophisticated retail traders.' So, now I'm unsophisticated because I would like to own some individual stocks? You assume the execution is all that matters, but if you are investing in the long-term profitabili

The plural of anecdote is not data. Ever heard of 'your mileage may vary'? We can throw opinions around all night, but it's clear that either people are looking through rosy and 'cynic' glasses at the same companies

Headline is quite misleading. For one thing, it's only looking at numbers in the US. On a cursory search, I can't find numbers but I suspect that Google maps is available in more countries and used by more people worldwide than Ap

Was the Atari ST GUI a derivative of AmigaOS? I don't see any images for it, but it looks similar.

I am late to this party, so I doubt my comment will be seen but... I think you are oversimplifying the pros/cons of social media. Facebook and LinkedIn are incredibly useful as networking tools if nothing else. I can maintain a network
