I'm not sure if this is possible. According to Wolfram Alpha the distance between NYC and Tokyo is ~10879 Kilometers (as the crow flies, not as the cable lies). The speed of light in Kilometers per second is 299,792.458 If we evaluate (1087

If it comes. I remember reading the details of that bill and if I recall correctly someone mentioned that accepting crowd funding will make the founders personally liable to lawsuits over the company. I can't seem to find the bookmark, anyo

Is this supposed to be sarcastic or a genuine observation? I don't have any context so it's impossible to tell.

How many consumers actually know what a boostrapped site is? More importantly I would say that a non-trivial amount of users do not enjoy and even detest change. For an anecdote look to any change facebook makes. One benefit of bootstrap is

I presume that they both already have more money than they know what to do with, so I suspect the management fees weren't the primary motivation. Also they have office space, employees, computers, etc. None of which are free. Assuming they

Fungi consuming plastic sounds like a parallel process so even if it takes a long time it doesn't really matter as we can just throw a lot of fungi at the problem.

Writing use cases and thinking about how the user is going to interact with your system is a very large part of creating correct and defect free software. Besides the obvious "will the user get it" it has a huge benefit when it comes time t

It seems to me like these sorts of P.R. blunders are common among most major big co's with regards to overzealous privacy protections. I don't find this particularly newsworthy myself. I think the only reason it grabs headlines is because F

I've always wondered why they don't contract out with other ad networks when they cannot fill the ad content themselves. Say for example their self serve ad can't fill the page request why not put in a google text ad link on the right side

I'm unfamiliar with hosting costs or really any costs running a site as popular as reddit. Anyone with experience in this area have a ballpark figure for how much it would cost per month to run this sort of setup?

Apple also isn't responsible for any of the major ecological catastrophes of the last 100 years. Labor violations in China certainly, multiple companies ruining hundreds of miles of United States coastline not so much.

This is interesting but the problem that I see with this argument is that you are ignoring transfer pricing agreements. Basically companies like Twitter (and google, facebook, etc.) use a bunch of complex tax structures in different countri
