In Canada they go to far, far greater lengths than writing letters: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Big_(police_procedure)

This is not the case in Canada! I'm sure it isn't the case in many other countries too. Here's someone who said 18 times that he didn't want to talk to the police and asserted his right to silence. Appeal denied. Convicted of murder. 2007 S

Three hours? That's nothing for Canadian interrogations. Here's a 2008 case (from the highest court in a major Canadian province) I found pretty quickly that's about a four and a half hour interrogation where the police lie about having DNA

You don't know ahead of time what's going to happen. That's the key here. Maybe they'll lie (probably not that common), or maybe what you said will somehow implicate you in a crime, or maybe...? That's why it's important. It's not after the

I'm not a female entrepreneur and would find it quite odd to receive a request to meet at someone's apartment instead of Starbucks. I've never had a professional "first contact" meeting like this at someone's house.

That seems quite unlikely. If only because of HP's actual business presence in Ontario. Surely some of their Mississauga employees went to Futureshop... http://welcome.hp.com/country/ca/en/contact/office_locs.html

It's certainly a "very long random string" without context but as people have pointed out above, it's actually not a very good password if people adopted this pattern widely (and you said the attacker knows this). 2000^4 = 16000000000000 po

Good luck! I know I can't be alone in hoping to see more from you on this. I'm curious what the service is and will watch for another post about a $9.95 one-off fee Perth-based web business :).

There's an option you may not have considered (and I know this is a heretical suggestion on HN): Get a job at an established company doing this. If your product was independently developed in your spare time and in an area that has other co

Call center profit would probably be too low to make this worthwhile. $15/hr * 0.1 hours = $1.50. Seems like the complex Craigslisting wouldn't make sense with this little profit at stake per call they manage to finagle.

My favourite is emailing them. Good luck getting a response. I tried for weeks to get them to sort out a problem that was simple enough that I figured email was the way to get it sorted out in some low priority queue. Finally I called them

One problem is that your prospective union members are actually competitors who make money by grabbing a slice of the customer market, not the 30% that Apple takes off the top of the whole market. There is no manager/employee relationship.

It's also worth keeping in mind that he was making $250k a year doing something shortly after school and then started this company. Presumably he has a lot more of something or rather than the average (or even above average) person. His s

One big one is enterprise portals/software that seem to always be IE-only. It's common at my workplace to use IE + Chrome/Firefox.

It is yet more sophisticated for some HFT trading. Continuing the analogy: Some trading is as if there's a person standing between the two people trying to make a deal and can hear the offers before each party can react and then make their

Oh I know it is in that service but I don't think that's what the poster I was replying to was suggesting. He's suggesting as a host that you do that (although perhaps I misunderstood).

I'm not saying it's not possible but it is expensive (high risk = high cost). What's AirBNB's margin? They charge 10% but after expenses, can they make money paying the insurer X%? That's the fundamental question and I suspect it's "No".

To be fair we've only heard their side of the story on that. This is a very distressed individual and maybe their account is only one side of the story.

I doubt it is a solved problem or AirBNB would be using it. Imagine what the negotiations would be like. They need insurance for: -An open-ended number of people worldwide (constantly changing) -Any sort of property from shitty apartments a

Care to elaborate? I've been wondering what the advantages are but haven't had the time to look into it in more depth. What's been your experience?

Part of his rant is about things that are generally not considered to be "science". Economics is usually categorized separately as "social science" (look! Wikipedia agrees! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economics ). It's ironic that someone

Many lawyers offer free consultations. You may want to talk to a patent lawyer and find out what your options are. Discussing it with them might help you better understand what the different options might cost.
