No need to go ballistic over OP's Q. Automation of tasks is in demand and is a good win-win business model. There are different ways to do that - API could be the one, and different services do store users passwords to help users to do

This is fighting with mosquitoes. There are too many out there and if you confuse or kill 10,000 of them - another 1,000,000 will be born. Just take basic steps to protect yourself. 90/10 rule in this case - 90% results could be obtain

Fines will have to be big enough and laws strict enough. Then the crowd hunt will ensue.

Follow the money trail is the only way. Buy cheapest thing from them with non-anonymous payment method - and then you have some trail.

How it worked before: AMEX Platinum comes with $15/mo Uber credit. Credit auto-expires by the end of each month. Before - this credit automatically applied to ride and the rest charged to default credit card. Now Uber got clever and de

If this cut to $4/hr is indeed true and documented act by the management - they'll soon be using their savings to pay for own legal bills. However - better wait for the full and well-researched story to follow ...

Actually number of 1-2 star reviews vs time product been listed might be an interesting indicator. But then - it maybe competitor efforts of course.

And add to that pollution caused by large trucks. Some are literally hard to follow behind due to the cloud of poison they are fuming all over. California's crusade on sedans to cut down on pollution is a joke.

Wow. They charge people for privilege of giving them $25k+ to reinvest at their discretion for their own benefits? This is lol.

While economical illiteracy of loud-voiced minority politicians is a fact that played here, I think Bezos just made out of himself a "rich jerk cry baby" who threw "i'm in control and don't need your candy" tan

+100 Amazon is trying hard to keep counterfeits and fake products/reviews under the rugs for as long as possible, so the more publicity to their ignorance - the merrier.

Not sure about funny looks in Africa, but I'm European myself. In Europe contracts tends to be more on a "fair" side of equation (less opportunistic sneaky clauses but more in-your-face bummers). In North America the initial

That's a typical trick of open source stuff owned by heavily commercial entities. Sales dance to follow. They are targeting decision makers or managers who are given a budget and deadline. Meaning "spend your budget wisely and del

Sell it before building it. If there are no buyers - validation done. If there are buyers - refund money, apologize for delay, send X% OFF coupon and start building it. Maybe a bit controversial but works with many types of products or serv

With that said - in many cases lawyers from the other side would fight to remove "AND ON TIME" wording. Which is somewhat OK (delays do happens), but "IN FULL" should be firm and present.

I feel uncomfortable with sync-style communications with sales people that demand 100% of attention to their persona. To me the sale is a matter of clear equation: success=min(price). If I have extra questions - i'll call or schedule a

Good to know. Hence, the reason dealers are unwilling to give a price in writing is because they know they're asking too much and will likely be beaten by the other dealers. Clear sign to move on to other local dealers.

Salespeople has this stupid mentality. They’d rather lose sale than talk over email to customer. I was on the market for brand new luxury sedan and certain dealership was insisting of me coming in rather then disclosing their price. I took

In my experience I never had a single case of objection to that (correcting one-sides clauses). Few iterations back and forth - yes, but it's clearly fair.

Tip to save on lawyer: Read contract yourself then get back to company and request to either remove all one-sided clauses or make them equally two-sided. Also - add clause stating that unless you paid in full and on time - all IP belongs to
