Small claim courts has filing fees and courts mostly pay for themselves. There is no real externalized costs other than to users who do not have reasonable way to recover their account. That's the deal with using ad supported services.

Account recovery is actually extremely tricky as it's very time consuming to verify that user is who he says he is. Hackers are really good at social engineering and with AI even video checks are not realiable. The only way to make it

Wikipedia is still multi-million dollar company with lots of employees. There should be an opportunity to pay Wikipedia $1000-5000 or whatever amount is reasonable for them to verify and remove a clear case of defamation. Right now your onl

The article says that small claim court has $100 filing fees - considering that every case is heard for 10 minutes, it sounds like small claim court should be able to mostly if not completely self-fund.

My personal take is that state has to mandate that systemic companies (>100M users or X $B in revenues) have to have high quality customer service at cost. It probably cost Meta $500-$2000 to adjucate hacked account case so it's unr

I plan to work and travel in Europe for 1.5 months this summer and I hope they will release it soon. Hotel/AirBnB wifi is often unstable and unreliable - you never know if Zoom will work or not. With Starlink I will have backup and at

Extreme risk is driving truck in Iraq or smuggling drugs to Singapore. Working in air conditioned office for double median US salary is not extreme risk by any means. With that I agree with you that upside is often lower than people expect.

I frankly find it amazing that every single major US model sticks to current government position on genders, sex, refugees, etc. Russia and China can only dream about such a level of voluntary conformity to take place in their country.

Depends how much you want to visit the country in question. I will be bummed if I am blocked from visiting EU (I am US citizen) but any other country is kinda irrelevant. If Japan put me on no travel list, I would not care one bit. There is

I rented gas cars probably hundreds of time at this point and I got car without full tank exactly once. It’s just not a thing. Every rental place has built in gas station and car is cleaned/refilled before every rental.

Just pay up for comfort+ seats if you are in US - they are generally pretty affordable. Much bigger problem is that in EU you get 28” pitch on BUSINESS class seats! The only difference is that middle seat is blocked. This frankly should be

In all those countries, average salary for JP Morgan employees is significantly higher (especially if you include expats). Also I think you are significantly off with Nigeria avg salary - no way it's so high in such a poor country.
