I remember being homeless and wanting to apply as a USPS mail sorter. There was a big warning on the application that inaccuracies were a felony. I don't have a great memory of all my job and life history so I decided a was better off

We can't even get photo ID required to vote for federal office, despite the law requiring it for other stuff that is a right ascribed merely to people ( guns ) unlike voting which is expressly protected for citizens ( although non-citi

Another poster mentioned after taxes vehicles cost 1.5-2x of the US cost. There'd be more money for safety if they weren't so busy taxing the everliving shit out of car buyers.

Genius. Incentivize economic production in industries where you have less comparative advantage. A common story of contribution to poverty in SA, although to be fair Uruguay is better than most others on the continent.

I would argue if the goal is justice then the fine is basically a tort on the externality imposed. At some point society imposes an injustice if the fine exceeds the externality imposed by tailgating, even if it's a pittance to the ri

I was trapped by an armed man once when I was a kid and ever since then I have always had a backup plan to escape. Most taxi drivers are honest good people, some aren't. The only people that have jammed me up were US CBP, in my exper

The eventual outcome of such race down is the apps realize they are merely matchmakers and they charge a 100% commission, since the price quoted can only be trusted as accurate with regards to the cost of using the 'rideshare' app

I admit my taxi experience is limited to Mexico, Paraguay, Iraq, Syria, and the Philippines. But in each one of those traffic control was so broken you couldn't have gone more than 2 blocks off course without the chaos forcing a stop

This makes no sense,why wouldn't Uber just increase rates and take a cut rather than let the drivers eat their lunch? What incentive do they have to charge less than the market will bear?

All sorts of foreigners have been extradited for supposedly violating USC despite never stepping foot in America. They could argue the node operator facilitated money laundering that touched a US bank, that they conspired with a US person,

They can't say they're breaking the law but as long as they don't admit to wrongdoing they can accomplish the goal of picking up pretty much anyone for something. . It's best to assume the government is a hostile, rabid

Wouldn't the true exit node be the ISP as you are one clear node behind them? How many ISP execs get raided by SWAT teams?

The missing piece may be a different mode of transport like trains. Humans adapted from creatures that lived in trees over millions of years, a computer has nothing on that evolutionary process of the bad tree jumper getting eaten or break

Proposal rejected by society. You will raise the child into a productive citizen, then society will tax the shit out of them while yelling "we paid our property taxes for our shit schools, so we deserve a slice." Then the social

Those people only take dollars because every transaction has a third guy with a club demanding dollars from the other two, that makes it incredibly challenging for the currency to shift to something else. Without the third guy standing ther

What would drive a currency with no demand? Money almost always ends up as a commodity itself (gold/silver/ramen packets/cigarettes), commodity backed, or as a token to prevent the state from tossing me in a tiny cage. In mo

I think low latency traders don't much care about the value proposition, only that they can gamble on the trades. Much like forex day traders don't give a shit about the value proposition of the dollar

All hours spent with kids under 5 is basically 'on'. Which would leave most mothers I've met at zero 'on hours' left for work. A reason for the 'gender pay gap'?

They ruled it was tried in the wrong jurisdiction thus basically never happened. There is likely a sealed indictment awaiting in another jurisdiction where they will try again, now knowing the trial strategy of the defense.

Weev is effectively banned from the banking system. The list of places with enough infrastructure to survive as a hacker, without foreign citizenship and in a cash/crypto economy with no extradition treaty is thin. I'm sure Tran

It's an excellent choice IMO from his perspective. They grant citizenship after 1 year with not a lot of questions and have a cash economy. And they don't extradite to the US.

Jury is peer, not subordinate of judge, and they should keep each other in check. Some tyrannical judges don't understand this. Sometimes the judge has to be reminded he is wrong in a way he can't prove he's been reminded, h

Both are definitely valid. I think saving face and cash grabs are the two fastest way to get in deep shit with the government.
