This was so much worse than I imagined. It was a physical dragnet at a private safe deposit box business and the FBI is trying to claim all the customer's belongings under civil asset forfeiture because a dog smelled marijuana. Meanwhi

Oh I don't disagree, I'm only pointing out that this has been going on for years. On any year I purchase ~$200 at most from Amazon now, and usually only items I can't find somewhere else "Amazon Branded"/"

I reviewed my purchase history and I stopped heavily buying from Amazon on 2017. Today I went to find an item I bought 5 years ago from them but their price has 30% markup from HomeDepot/Target/Walmart. Guess who's not gettin

This is not just programmers by the way. I know of people in other professions doing this. And as long as there isn't a conflict based on anything you signed or company policy I'm not sure a company has recourse beyond terminating

I appreciate the concern but I don't do it. What are the statutes against this? Is it a felony or misdemeanor?

I have a non-OLED LG. Great picture, have not plugged anything in but casting from iPhone is buggy (it was added remotely via an update years after I bought the TV). It's amazing, and with very little bloatware

This isn't just about avoiding US jurisdiction but also let users pay and receive payment with ideally the alt coin of their choice (or one of a few choices). In LATAM conventional banking adoption is low, it's unlikely many peopl

Target market is LATAM, maybe outside of five eyes is enough?

The problem with US payment processors is you're subject to US laws and penalties, but for the most part my customers won't be in the US and I'd prefer to avoid the jurisdiction

Maybe they would move elsewhere if people stop catering their food? I agree the city has a problem, but to me she exacerbates it (and OP on this thread seems to agree) ahh the downvotes with no reply have begun, is this reddit now?

oh I agree the issue is systemic and I'd love to see Medicare for all or similar. But I don't think the agents of change are moving fast enough to affect my retirement It would be interesting to have Medicare age gradually lowered

This is why I max out my HSA and don't withdraw since it became available to me (unfortunately this was until my 30s) Have you considered moving to a country with quality healthcare at cheaper price? Mexico comes to mind

This ignores the time value of money. What if the couple of years prevents numerous security intrusions by foreign entities? It's not as if MSFT doesn't have the expertise or the manpower to fulfill the contract

To me scaling this Angular codebase has been more challenging than it was to scale React codebases for collaboration across multiple projects and teams. Going through NgModule instead of using plain node packages is my main gripe here; coin

If your incentive is distribution of the money, potentially yes. But like a real lottery I think this is about taking advantage of people's low statistical knowledge banking on hitting it big. I quite like it

Depending on the outcome this may be the best $5M spent by government this year. If enough people are motivated by the jackpot a lot more than this could be saved from hospitalizations prevented alone
