All social media? "Yes, I 'liked' a video starring 'Isis' on Pornhub 10 years ago but I swear it's not what you think!" Imagine filling in those usernames, hilarious

Your scenario doesn't match this case and your logic is flawed. First, "it happens" is different from "legal" or "morally defensible". Second, agreeing to pay an upfront standard price and then accepting

Cabs can be next to impossible outside downtown core. Calling in advance had minimum half hour wait in Hamilton, even an hour wait when when you're only 10 minutes outside the downtown. And street pickups have massive discrimination. E

I hope the following perspective helps with your question. Think of newspapers as a mix of Journalism and blog-type "Content" and this writer as a Content writer. Content ideas are pitched by a writer to the editor, or assigned by

From what I've seen, tech companies tend to be understaffed on enforcement and compliance, relative to their user reach. Was the "certification" anything more than a checkbox in an emailed Word doc? I expect that's one a

That's hopeful... but false. If there are no consequences, then it doesn't matter whether or not they lie, does it? The accused's outcomes are +1 or -1. The officer's outcomes are +1 or 0. The rational play for the offic

Please consider your words.. I see many posts using "money" interchangeably with "investment"; and misunderstanding the financial definition of "exchange" (eg trying to argue eBay is the same as Coinbase). Mayb

What a well written article. But from personal experience, it's missing something. My dad's funeral service was held in the crematorium. Afterwards they invited the closest family members to watch. Didn't warn us about what w

My country is divided into a very very fine cartesian grid, and each pole is referred to by the grid number, which is also its database reference id for transformers and other hardware... a homegrown GIS. A consistent grid also makes it eas

So I'm assuming SK doesn't want their citizens' money 1) exposed to the risk of a bubble 2) for which SK society will blame them 3) flowing through Chinese and Russian miners to 4) pad North Korean state finances?

With the opt-in... 30mins to cross a border. Without it.. slowdowns, flagging, questioning, etc... could be 6 hours. If one is travelling for business, opting out is not realistic.

I'm disappointed... what an alarmist and false article. Soldiers are expensive to train, you want them to come back safe and healthy so you can send them out again. Fighting is a messy affair where you have to rely on people making goo

That example doesn't apply here. The utility covered the cost by selling bonds. Municipalities use bonds to fund the building of toll roads and other long term projects without tax dollars.

Universal income is a fantastic idea. Imagine being able to work on your own coding project for 2 years with a guarantee of basic ramen and safe shelter. I don't think it'd work well in Western society yet. It would be feasible
