names, email adresses, and mailing addresses aren't particularly sensitive. These are all pretty easy to get for most people without hacking anything.

those numbers are pretty low. to be considered moderately successful it would probably need to be at least an order of magnitude higher. that being said, it was still early. you never know what could happen. it was reviewed favorably.

I'm not saying he is a great CEO. I'm saying he was put in an impossible situation and he's done fine. Msft had a PE of 58 when he started. And he gets to follow bill gates. Just like Tim cook. It doesn't matter how well

Msft had a PE of 58 when he took over. S&P had a PE of 29. Msft was vastly overvalued, there was nothing he could have done that would have made msft go up in normal conditions.

While it is funny that they make more on android, they are hardly "getting rich" off it. 100 mil for msft is peanuts. It doesn't move the needle.

People who say Ballmer is a bad CEO based on the stock price really aren't paying attention. He took over at the height of the tech bubble. Microsoft's PE (and everything else) was a joke. Since he took over revenue and profits ha

These articles seem like bizarre humble brags to me. You want to get lost? Really? That seems absurd, but you can totally just not use the map feature if you want. Battery life. My phone lasts all day easily. Is it really hard to plug it in

eh I don't know. I'm the OP, and the price of Boeing's stock (at least spot price) had nothing to do with my reason for submitting it. Fire on the 787 and potential future implications were why I thought it was interesting.

generally speaking, bail is set based on the persons means and the crime. The amount is supposed to be an amount that will make a person show up for trial, so a wealthy person will get a higher bail than a poor person for the same crime. Al

I'm not sure I agree completely. There are some advantages. One being that if you are interested in advertising, you can work with optimizing 1 campaign instead of 4.

True, but that's a silly assertion. Cars by themselves are pretty safe. It's the other cars that cause problems. Since the cars are there, biking is more dangerous than being in another car.

by clarky07 13y ago
So? From the cited article giving that stat - "a mile of driving is ten times safer than a mile of cycling". You might argue that cycling is safe. You can't argue that it is safer. It simply isn't.

For the population as a whole maybe. That doesn't take away the not insignificant risk to any one individual of being killed or crippled. Biking "could" give you an increased life span of 5-10 years IF you don't replace

Or it could be that not everyone wants to live in a crowded city in a small apartment. Some people prefer to be a bit more spread out, perhaps near nature.

No it doesn't. Yield sign has a meaning, and it's not go through oblivious to surroundings at full speed. It is slow down and make sure it's clear. If it's not clear, it means stop.

Nothing in that paper talks about people being killed as far as I could see. Higher event rates != higher deaths. Running into another bike was considered an event, but that's not generally deadly.

by clarky07 13y ago
considering the amount of people biking vs the amount of people in cars, I'd guess that biking is the far more dangerous mode of transport. According to this site [1], biking accounts for 1% of trips, but 2% of traffic fatalities. [1]

I've done free deals in the past, and sometimes it works out nicely. Getting lots of downloads tends to move you up in the charts and search results, some of which lasts when it moves back to paid. There are also obvious benefits to ha

That's why I said unlikely. There were some issues, and those are unfortunate, but most people had it coming. As for the "predatory" lending, I still have no sympathy. If you are taking out a loan for hundreds of thousands of

I know it isn't the point of the article, but I can't understand people getting upset at a bank for foreclosing a house. Pay your mortgage and they are unlikely to foreclose.

This is an interesting idea. As posed though, I don't think it is workable. As noted other places in the thread, equity for contract dev work is pretty silly. Posed slightly differently though, he could be a technical co-founder for so

This is the calculation for someone who got a bad job and never advances at all in 24 years. It might be a good deal for them. On the other hand, they could make that without going to college. Someone successful would make significantly mor
