The vast majority of the population is not saying "I have nothing in savings" because all their money is tied up in yachts and Manhattan real estate; it's because they have no money.

The lessons of the crash were: absolutely no one went to jail, and every banker involved made nearly as much money during the worst years of the crash as during any other year. So, what's the problem?

Oh, that's not true at all. Ebay showed - and the writer of this article realizes - that you can fuck sellers around all day long. AirBNB could implement a "if any customer complains, for any reason, the landlord doesn't ge

Step 1: Discriminatory policing against disliked groups. Step 2: Run the results of that through the computer. Step 3: The unbiased computer tells me that disliked groups are more likely to be charged with crimes! That justifies my discrim

It's probably not correct that Obama could close down the entire NSA tomorrow. However, he has essentially complete control over what it does. If he wanted to direct it to do, for example, only military intelligence activities direct

Then why does Uber tell its drivers that it will fire them for low acceptance rates? > And is it ok for contractors to refuse to perform? Of course it is. That's what a contractor is, the very definition: someone who has economic i

That's what FEMA is and does. It's insurance of last resort for a wide variety of major disasters.

Isn't it the case that if you reject more than a tiny percentage of fares, Uber will fire you?

Any electronics product from a major manufacturer will have provisions made for repairs. Some repair/refurbishing center will have bid for the repair contract, promising to repair FooPhones at $23/unit or whatever. They will get

If the link as posted in the story does not work for people, it does not work. That's your fault. "Workarounds" which are already incorporated into the link by the time I see them are fine. Workarounds that require me to do

The problem is that a failure mode of "off", in the winter, in cold climates, means you come home to $30,000 of water damage and pipe replacement which probably won't be covered by home insurance. The "fail safe" mo

Err, their explicit practice is to send through ALL purchases; that's sort of the point of milking the overdraft cow. The person doing the reordering is exactly the same one setting the charges. The reordering is done to maximize pr

Haven't the NSA revelations of the past few years driven home the fact that metadata is extraordinarily valuable and informative?

Uh, no. Just because you think this should be the law doesn't mean it is the law. Instead the law in the United States is that you aren't allowed to jam anyone, aren't allowed to interfere with the operation of other compute

You're right! It is also a crime under the FCC laws. If you manage to interfere with internet-connected computers, using radio communication, you're breaking multiple laws at once. Better hope you have a good lawyer.

"Legitimate" here may mean that you agree with the use in those cases, but don't mistake it for "legal", which it is not, at least in the last two instances. Corporate LAN is an interesting one.

It's not often that we see straight up arguments that democracy is bad and we should return to kingdoms. Thanks for the laugh.
