Looks really awesome. Will definitely have to look around and recommend to others. Is the ambassador model similar to the "jewelry parties" or Pampered Chef? Are you a non profit? My wife just started working with Noonday Collecti

I can get a replacement ID at little cost (≈$30) [1]. I don't know that they do anything to invalidate the ID being replaced. In the case of the TSA where they're just looking at the ID and not running it through a database both

I don't think it mentions anything about Twitpic as a service. It's only about the trademark. That being said it makes a lot of sense for Twitter want to control the user experience. The cost of hosting low resolution thumbnails c

Most people think this janky house is for sale at $2M. What's for sale here is a plot of land that's highly sought after, a school district with good ratings and the ability to live amongst wealthy peers.

I just meant that if you're going to allow law enforcement to be armed then you need to have lawful ways for citizens to also be armed. There has to be a checks and balance system in place. In reality that's what most of the US co

While I can see your point you have to really see this in context. Imagine a black community that largely feels (and by data proven to be) oppressed. Now that community has one of its children murdered by the police. When they want to take

This is the reason why the right to bear arms is so critical. These police officers are not going up against an armed mob.

Black people. And I don't mean that sarcastically. But I don't believe they're afraid of them as much as it's a power play. A police officer on video said "Bring it. All you f*cking animals." [1] Based on every

This really got me. Mike Brown's mother said this [1]. You took my son away from me. You know how hard it was for me to get him to stay in school and graduate? Do you know how many black men graduate? Not many. Because you

I'm not seeing how BuzzFeed is adopting new technology nor how adopting new technology is what journalism needs. I see BuzzFeed as a company that's found a way to exploit people's pull towards instant gratification. But it se

I see that number thrown around a lot as well. Unsure exactly what it means and how accurate it is of most acquihires. Does $1M include salary over X years? Is it just the retention? How much is paid up front? How mature is the product you&
