Because to complete a bitcoin transaction it needs to be accepted on the block chain. That incurs a relatively high flat fee (somewhere between $5-$50 dollars in recent times). It doesn't make sense to pay this fee for small amounts (t

The reason people are bringing up cloud is because it's what effects them. If you have (cloud) access through a company to local devices and that company is hacked then that could be a very wide pathway into your local set up. The comp

That is a clearly a semantic simplification. All rights are conditional, the "right to one's own work" is conditional on the "right of others work not to impede on one's own work". From this alone you can see t

The most common example I could think of (other than trackers) would be aggregator sites. If the aggregator shows an image that was originally from a destination article or if comments link to a source for some content.

Yeah speed and other metrics are important. It would be silly to compare people across countries when you have internal disparities such as in NZ residential pay NZ$250(€150/USD$170) for 4gig symmetrical or pay NZ$70 (€40/USD$50)

Well it would be pretty good information to have to do analysis against. You could easily see knowing how often an app is used on an OS to be useful business information if apple wanted to create software to get into a trend before it gets

Apple has 60% of revenue on phone marketplaces even if it only sell 14% of phones. Let alone that changing between phones has friction and can have significant costs. Also by comparison consider the statement: "The New York Central Rai

So looking at it it's 2 parts that get locked together. A ring part that you place the shaft and balls through. Then the container that when placed over the shaft and locked to the ring leaves a gap the balls can no longer get through.

While the headline certainly is having a device like this needing to be ground open the other privacy concerns are quite possibly worse. Being able to track both the name of who bought it and the location of someone using a device like this

The wells will have been traded between multiple companies (and not necessarily with the intent to abandon them so they don't need to pay costs.). A lot of the 'current owners' will be defunct or bankrupt. Because wells can b

You're not wrong. I also understand the viewpoint stemming from that truth that having the option is not worth the extra features. I still think the trade off is worth it. Just like while we have people tricked into buying apple gift c

Sure Apple can create their area of trust/safety/security in their apple store allowing those who want that to stay there. They can't however do that on a device they've sold to customers. The question from a principle s

Literally the backbone of Epic's case is the terms that Epic are breaking are illegal and so can not be enforced. The case would have been dismissed as having no merit if this was not at least in question. The US and EU are looking int

The difference between an income tax and a wealth tax is that currently those with wealth are able to avoid income taxes. Approaches like negative gearing and other strategies exist. I'm on the fence on estate taxes as a general rule I

There's a reason contracts of adhesion are very often not binding. I'm not saying that's the case here (as B2B it will be more likely that the oppressive terms in the terms of use could be upheld) but it's worth consider
