The cheapest solution would just be to add a thing to the T&C that says that Amazon reserves the right to place a reasonable number of undercover orders, which the vendor must accept as a refund (other than the shipping fees). Then Ama

I believe Medicare is funded like Social Security, where the money you pay in pays for benefits right now, and when you retire, other people will be paying the money that actually goes to you. They can't give you that 3% to invest your

The total comp is lower, but do you have any info on how it compares per-user or per-view? I'm just curious if Brave actually pays less, or if it's a question of scale.

It probably depends on the metric you're trying to optimize. I was curious about that as well, but I was thinking in terms of the maximum number of humans the earth can support. We certainly haven't hit that yet, we have large swa

I've seen things that don't work quite right in Firefox. The Zoom webapp doesn't recognize some of my audio devices, but Chrome does. The Citrix gateway also fails to log in on Firefox sometimes. I don't know whether tho

According to free market economics, this is exactly what should happen. Security researches sell their exploits on the dark web until bug bounties rise to the same or higher prices as the dark web will pay. It's crazy that they can fi

That's interesting. I wonder if that makes people with ADHD ineligible for the draft? I wouldn't be mad about that. I'm also kind of curious about their reasoning. Is it fear that they won't be able to keep a steady

I think they're referring to the recoil. It says 13 rounds were fired, and I'm guessing they were fired in fully automatic mode. Assuming we're talking about a higher caliber weapon (likely an AK variant, given the region),
