Alternatively, pick up the phone, call the company they work for, and ask for their email. "Hi, I'm <x>, I'm trying to send an important email to <y> but it keeps bouncing. Can you confirm I've got their email address correc

When you consider all the costs involved, it's not so unreasonable. You've got the cost of the ambulance station, ambulance itself, equipment, maintenance, fuel, medical consumables, paramedics, technicians, etc. You're not only paying for

My understanding is that the information was not withheld from retail investors; rather, it wasn't actively disseminated to them, and the significance of the information impressed upon them. The reduced revenue estimates were public inf

I think flickr gradually became a place "more for professional photographers" as the rest of its uses were eroded by other social media sites.

Porn isn't the problem with Tumblr. The problem is copyrighted content. In my experience, Tumblr is primarily a platform for young people to "reblog" (i.e. publish and distribute) copyrighted content without the owners' permission.

Isn't Tumblr an IP nightmare, and wouldn't Yahoo taking ownership make it a giant target for litigation?

Does that database display pending patents? It seems to me they are claiming to have patents pending.

In the beginning, I thought these kind of incidents would be the end of the service. A lot of the people using Kickstarter to raise capital for their projects appear out of their depth, if not in the first instance, certainly when their pro

Granted, but at $20/month you only need them for two and a bit months before you're earning more than with the $45 one-off fee sales model.

Why not price as the differentiating factor? Basecamp is expensive for what it is. You could undercut Basecamp by a sizeable margin and still turn a nice profit.

I may be wrong, but the impression I got from this article was not so much that Bloomberg reporters were using the data to source stories about their clients, so much as using the data to connect with their clients and use them as sources

It's all about incentives. Most major news organisations are private, for-profit entities. Profit is the primary incentive. What turns a profit? High-brow commentary written by proper journalists, that only a small subset of your readership

I guess they just have enormous expenses — tons of people on the payroll, nice offices, etc. — and don't pull in enough advertising revenue to break even. Losing money isn't hard.

Average speed cameras are actually quite scary. In the UK they have only been used (as far as I'm aware) to enforce temporary speed limit reductions, most typically during roadworks, then removed once the speed limit is returned to normal.

Someone is awfully defensive. Let me guess; you have a lot of money tied up in Bitcoin? Bitcoin is a hacker plaything. It has a bunch of known weaknesses, a sketchy history, and an enormous amount of controversy attached to it. Not to menti

Centralisation is the endgame. All transactions will be logged, and all will be instantly reversible in the unlikely event of some kind of security breach. Money laundering will be impossible, and there'll be no incentive to hack other peop

It doesn't matter if governments decide to shut it down or not. Bitcoin is not the future of currency. It will never be widely adopted. It's as simple as that. I'd bet my entire Bitcoin wallet on it, but mercifully I don't have one.

Bitcoin has no place in the future of currency. The future of currency is digital, but it's not peer-to-peer. It's just an international organisation with a big centralised database. You might not like it, but watch it unfold.

Yep, that's right. Fresh out of college in your early 20s, with tens of thousands of dollars of debt to your name, no income, no access to credit... Starting a business is the obvious solution! Why didn't people think of it sooner?
