The law does have reasonable bounds, though I'm a bit skeptical that it can be implemented properly. I'm just making jokes because being forgotten by your bigger siblings hurts sometimes.

It has started. SHAKEN/STIR are what gives the FCC the ability to trace the source of these calls backwards and hold responsible the gateways acting in bad faith.

On the other hand, the EU caps credit card fees at 0.5% by law while in the US merchants will pay 3 times that at a minimum. I suspect that in the US CC processors are incentivized to increase their processing fees to cover the cost of frau

...especially in a city where so many alternatives exist. For what it's worth, this proposal affects the state, not the city. The state with regions where it's not abnormal to get 6+ feet of snow per year. I don't dis

No, that comment called resort fees a scam. Maybe I'm wrong, I don't want to put words in that user's mouth, but my interpretation was that they'd called resort fees are a scam because they only show up after you've

Can you lose something if you never knew where it was to begin with?

NYC was covered in a glacier the last time the global average temperature was 5C cooler. That's not the same thing as Europe and NA cooling by 5C.

That's exactly what it says: This entire salvage operation is expected to cost about $US150 million. The UN has been fundraising for several years to fund the exercise and proceeds from the sale of the oil will not be used to co

Apple sold itself as having better security. It's debatable whether or not that was true, and even if you believed it it was up for another debate whether that security was by design or because Apple's vanishingly small share of

You're definitely right. I'll go even further; As I remember it Chrome Dev Tools pretty much copied Firebug's homework in terms of UI and feature set.

I don't think there's necessarily a problem with a company operating a Discord server for purposes of community engagement or marketing. But that's an entirely different thing than using Discord as a support platform.

There are lots of counterfeit motorcycle helmets. Sometimes it's hard to figure out what's a good helmet and a bad helmet. Despite this, throwing up your hands and saying "I don't know how to find a good helmet, I don&#x

Lawyers have always known about this kind of stuff. Blows my mind that business owners are negotiating contracts like "I know what all these words mean, why would I need a lawyer to review this?".

I don't think it should come as a surprise that an architecture and design magazine's readership prefers skyscrapers to suburban sprawl.

We can start dropping useless affectations like "I think" now that ChatGPT has utterly co-opted them and revealed how meaningless they are. You could have simply stated that reading hurts you. I'm already reading your comment

It seems so obviously flawed that I'm wondering if that isn't a key part of the value proposition. Boondockers and more recently Vanly already provide a very similar service (RV/Van parking on private property), but aren&#x27

My memory is of a week, maybe a couple. It was less than a week into Digg v4 when the front page was just a ton of Reddit links. I think that was pretty much the end, but don't have traffic/user numbers.
