If you do this on purpose after asked to unlock your phone you will probably be charged with destruction of evidence or something like that. However, while a court is (afaik) able to ask you to put your finger on the fingerprint reader, you

I don't see a reason to not use Google Voice, after all it's easy to port the number somewhere else in case they shut down.

This should be easy to (mostly-)automate for much less than 0.25% per year. Something like a website where I enter the funds that I have and whenever it's time for TLH or re-allocation I get an email. The main issues that I can think o

The retirement funds are somewhat inflexible if you want to change your allocations, but you could just get a three-fund portfolio instead: https://www.bogleheads.org/wiki/Three-fund_portfolio The only advantages that

Same here. I have two phone numbers (one in the US and one in Austria) and also spend a considerable amount of time in both countries each year. I'm usually reachable on both numbers (and usually only give the local number to people in

Why would it be more useful? If they offered LTE you would need an account with a wireless provider to be able to use it, which is probably not an option for tourists who would pay insane roaming fees. On the other hand with WiFi most wirel

No the shouldn't. For most of us economy seats work quite fine. I'm 1.89 and regularly have 12+ hour flights with Lufthansa. I prefer cheaper tickets to a little bit more legroom that I don't really need. And if those seats w

OpenJDK is licensed under the GPL. So as long as Google doesn't violate the terms of the GPL it's quite safe to use it. In addition, the GPL provides an implicit patent grant to the code: https://copyleft.org/guide

> Comparing 1gbit cable to 1gbit Ethernet is like comparing a dslr and a smartphone based on their megapixels. In both of those cases the majority of customers doesn't care about the difference.

I don't know about Australia, but at least in some European countries it's not common for employees to get stock options. But if they got stock options I don't see why they wouldn't be able to cash them out.

No - I'm not. But my connection works well enough and I don't notice any delays on either SSH or VoIP connections. So why should I invest time/energy into changing something that doesn't affect me?

How do you get to this conclusion? The density is probably not going to get much higher than it is already, but the technology is going to continue to improve.

An alternative would be to split wireless companies into 1) infrastructure companies and 2) companies that sell actual products to end users. The infrastructure companies would be allowed to bid on limited shared resources (= the spectrum),

There are indirect tax implications: Once you roll over your 401k into an IRA you can't use the Backdoor Roth IRA technique anymore (well, you still can, but then you would have to pay taxes).

If you define "unused" domain as "doesn't have a working website associated to it" then this definition is (imo) wrong. The internet is more than just websites. I have several domains that don't have any websit

For me international roaming is the main advantage (although I usually buy local SIM cards if I'm in another country for an extended duration). T-Mobile coverage works very well where I live (Bay Area). If I'd need better coverage

Google Voice is great. I'm currently using the T-Mobile $30 plan (5 GB data, 100 minutes voice) in combination with Google Voice. The amount of included data is more than sufficient for me, and for voice calls I use Google Voice via Vo
