SSA is a federal agency. He paid into them and now he wants his money back, according to the law. So he can file a lawsuit and tell a Fed judge: touch me, I'm alive. A lot of state court actions can be appealed to federal courts as vio

AFAIK, yes. I guess it also depends on what it is, photocopying a single page is different from spending a week coding a solution to what the feds want. Can you imagine the feds forcing you to do things that take a year to program, even if

The NY State AG is used as a stepping stone for higher office. They have more money than god and Schneiderman is loving this fight. Airbnb is not going to win here. A judge will decide it but he will probably get the info on all the people

Because mistakes happen and usually go when it's a horrible situation. If they got sued for every little thing, nothing would be done when it came to humanitarian help. UN should offer some sort of settlement but not to create a preced

I don't quite understand the newsroom gimmicks. They aren't really newsrooms, at least not like they used to be. Now it's all about improving ratings at the expense of long term credibility. (But then if all are doing it, w

You need to understand geopolitics a bit (USA supported /s Croatia against their arch enemy, Serbia). Also in countries like Croatia things are done with a wink and a nod and a lot of rules are bent. If USA wants you in Croatia or virt

He'd likely be a free man if he were in Croatia or Kazakhstan. In small countries with no culture of westerners living there long term he'd stand out like a sore thumb. In dictatorial countries they'd think he was a CIA ope

WTG short-term thinking with finite resources. Humans are idiots. Shale and gas is added to the thinking probably, enviro issues and all. Finite but it lasts 100+ years...

I'm not sure that I would call multiple times a year "very, very rarely". Every service loves to use their total number of members and say that requests are very rare--relative to their number of users. But honestly not sur

I may be wrong but isn't this very limited unless other major browsers adopt it? I hope Mozilla doesn't cave to their corporate sponsor, and MS will not do just to hurt Google.

Duh, it stopped when organic growth stopped. But we were stupid to have believed it in the first place. Now they are desperate: ads everywhere, penalties everywhere (makes you advertise to replace lost traffic) and so on. They still make no

Sure, do what Bill gates did with Microsoft, charity and make north of $100 billion and then others will laugh at a 40+ year old traffic arrest. Now if you're trying a job and they are another 100 applicants....

Great idea. I think 5 random submissions should get a front page chance. It increases variety and as the other person said, it also combats group-think. Five out of thirty, even in the worst case scenario (not even one of them is interestin

Stupid question and a stupid argument. Buying /selling drugs is illegal, so is buying /selling fake docs etc so why would anyone expect FBI to let such a service operate? Especially when sales numbers reach $1+ Billion and when th

Technically what you said is true, BUT still Samsung has Apple's confidential info, something that cannot be undone. Maybe Samsung and their lawyers exchanged a wink and a nod, maybe not. If I were king, I would revoke the right to pra

Chicken feed is my guess. Now if he punishes the lawyers (as in hurt their careers) in any way he can that might serve as a deterrent. Samsung is super-rich and can take a hit. I doubt the judge can fine them into the $ hundreds of millions
