This isn't really surprising. I think most "drug kingpins" would be able to get much shorter sentences by agreeing to turn in a bunch of smaller dealers. It seems like Ross' work was pretty solitary, so that wasn't

The existence of Apple doesn't preclude the ongoing commoditization of the PC, smartphone, and tablet markets. Apple has already stopped producing servers, which are effective commodity items now.

I don't know the transit situation in the UK but in the areas I've lived in the US a huge portion of their "benefits" would be eaten up by transit costs just to get to "work".

Yes, now they will charge by the watt and time of day to reduce peak load. Although, I actually think the main idea is that it will make them aware of outages in real-time so they can recover faster, which one of the factors used to judge p

I'm in my early 20s and I'm in the same boat. Reddit/HN/Slashdot are the extent of my use of social media and a lot of my peers in college were the same. Hell, I know a handful of people who work at Facebook/Twitter

Someone stole a laptop from me a few years ago and gave/sold it to someone else. I ssh'd into it, installed keyloggers and screen capture programs so I could figure out who they were. I was able to get their email, Facebook, and e

Not in Detroit but at another large company in Michigan with a mostly male engineering and IT staff. I witnessed* one situation where a woman was treated inappropriately (*I was told about it the day after it when she was trying to figure o

No, this is the section of the article he was referring to: "Actually my simple dumb model for investment management fees is that managers should, on the whole, charge more than the value they add, since (1) good managers who add value

Similar to the title MD for doctors or JD for lawyers, engineers have the PE (Professional Engineer) title. It requires a bachelors degree from an ABET accredited school, 4 years of experience, and pass two day long exams. It's pretty

That site just adds more to the argument that we should get rid of the penny. The coins are materially pretty expensive compared to their worth as a currency.

A writer working on a biography of Harper Lee came to my high school 6 or 7 years ago to give a presentation about her. He told us that she had written another book but didn't want to publish it due to the pressure she felt from the su

I always disliked Walmart's selection. The prices are decent, better than I'll pay at most smaller stores, but they basically carry the same products at every location with no regional variation. For example, in my college town th

I think a network of self-driving cars might actually help with that. All the cars can communicate where they are going and could agree to take paths that reduce traffic and get everyone to their destination faster. EDIT: Also, these featur

No. Not even remotely. Teachers do provide a good example for their students, but it's not their responsibility to watch children 24hrs a day to ensure good behavior, to inspect their home to make sure it's suitable, to watch thei

I don't think there is much he can do. He said that he couldn't see the account details without answers to the security questions. So, the best route of action might be to reset the password, find the contact info of the Kindle ow

That sounds better than a good portion of my K-12 math education. Starting in 7th grade and going to 10th grade, I would walk into class and the teacher would have a list of problems on the board for us to complete and turn in. That's

It wasn't mentioned, but I fully assume the watch will be waterproof (at least water resistant). They incidentally come in contact with water too often (rain, hand washing, etc) to not be. The Moto360 is water resistant and the Pebble

I think a watch would be extremely handy to have while running, cycling, kayaking, etc. Something to track activity, change songs, or show a map when you are unable to use your phone. Unfortunately, the $350 price point is way too high for

Yes. I've been using this site since I started an internship at a power company in high school and I used it all the way through undergrad too. It just looks like they redid the design.

Or at least compensate employees somehow if their shifts are cut short. Something like a flat-rate $10-20 inconvenience fee for cancelling hours and any additional commute costs (if they have to take the bus instead of getting a ride).

Even if gambling is completely legal in Michigan, most casinos still seem to be Native American owned/run. Actually, it might even be every casino except the three in downtown Detroit.

This comment will probably get overlooked, but how do you get into the "digital nomad" lifestyle? Basically, what kind of work allows you operate 100% remotely? Thanks.
