In the EU, airport authorities will refuse to stamp your EU passport, even if you ask them to (travel geek, I wanted the stamp). As an EU citizen you may not be denied entry to any EU country and stamping your passport would imply that they

I suspect you're being downvoted by people who know what a huge amount of time and effort it actually takes to immigrate to the US. There's also the minor technicality that USCIS won't let you in the country with only a one way ticket.

I was surprised by this. Sure, 250k is tiny compared to the current value of Groupon, but they were also in a superior bargaining position and had crafted a situation where the domain was practically worthless to the original owner. I would

A helpful way to understand sailing into the wind (for me at least) is to think of a stationary wind turbine producing eg. 2MW of power. Now if you were to mount that turbine on the roof of your electric car, that 2MW is more than enough to

I don't really see how the comparison to commercial software is useful. Of course there are different pressures when deciding on the feature sets of Photoshop vs Django. Would Adobe make more money, for example, if they gave all their devel

It appears that at least some of the time, the shares are delivered many weeks after the transaction date instead of the required 3 days. This would give the seller of the stock time to wait until the price had fallen before acquiring the s
