More comparison: Seattle $597 a year (just got my bill recently, vast majority pays for transit expansion)

Getting a new route or two added is a lot easier than finding a good location to build. Especially with Delta expanding its Seattle presence so much.

Well Amazon said it was needed in the RFP... "Direct access to rail, train, subway/metro, bus routes"

That's not nearly enough space, the whole thing is 3m square feet with 2/3 of it leased out. Amazon currently has over 8m occupied in Seattle with millions more currently being built.

That's like saying wool is made from sunlight. I mean, it started there, but there's a lot more to it.

That seems like a bizarre way to pay for damages considering weight and value are not correlated at all.

That's not the difference at all, it is invested in corporate debt (much of it from US companies) and giant amounts of US Treasuries. Even the people that manage it do so from the US. The difference is purely in accounting, they keep t

You do know that the money isn't literally sitting overseas right? It is invested (Apple would be the largest bond fund in the world [1] if they accepted outside money). So they'll sell the investments, pay a little tax and then p

There are plenty of places you can donate that aren't for profit businesses pretending to be generous donors. For business clothes Dress for Success is a great option, but even Goodwill is a better option.

I don't know why you would donate to a for profit thrift store like Value Village. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/retail/state-ag-sues-v... The owner has a giant estate on Mercer Island near Seattle th

Though good luck getting paid when shit hits the fan, Kraken will go down along with Tether.

It turns out to be a lot more profitable if you just make USDT out of thin air...

Well it doesn't matter what it was last month if you just took the plunge... So many stories of people putting in their college funds, taking out loans, using credit cards, exchange margin, etc.

Well that number includes work vehicles, non daily-drivers, collectables, etc. A better place to start would be a survey of how many adults have their own dedicated vehicle.

Not everyone has beater cars that they work on themselves and park for free. Where I live it's $300 or more a month to park which would be more than your whole annual cost even if you get free parking at either home or work.

Eh, it's just a way to get your existing CC information to existing payment gateways without having to re-enter it. If you have a problem you would contact the company you're trying to pay or your credit card issuer, not Google. P

I just downloaded Bandcamp for iOS and under Digital Album I see "Not available for purchase on this device" along with links to purchase the physical vinyl or CD.

And you can't even present a link to purchase digital goods through a browser... You can open Mobile Safari and search Amazon for a Kindle book, but you can't use an Amazon app of any sort to do part of it.

iPhones do have fast charging, but the mouse takes waaaay less power so a small amount of charging time gives a large amount of usage.

No, it's not the same. If someone spends your BTC there is no recourse and it's gone forever. Coinbase specifically does not insure against this.

> There is? My understanding is that fraud and theft are not covered by FDIC insurance. It's covered by the bank themselves. You might have to wait a little bit, but you won't be held liable for fraudulent charges. I'm sur

If someone gets into your Coinbase account and transfers everything to their wallet there is no recourse and you're out all your money. If someone gets into your Chase account and transfers all your money out there is a recourse and yo

That's not how it works though, people get hacked all the time and banks make their customers whole. You can literally leave your debit card on the street corner and you won't be liable for any fraudulent charges as long as you no

... Perhaps because your money at Chase is safe regardless of the bug.

Then you'll end your day with about $9,950 in USD...

> Create a company that can take cash in big amounts and sell cryptocurrency. Not sure how feasible is it but that is the missing link as I see it. The problem is they would fall under the same money laundering rules that banks are and w

> Crypto solves the problem (partially) of where to store your revenue instead of a bank. How exactly? You run a pot shop and end the day with $10,000 in USD. What happens next?

Sounds like a similar strategy would work fine with the iMac Pro...

The same can be said for many security vulnerabilities, but that doesn't make them any less faulty. Shellshock exploited a bug that had been in Bash for 25 years (!), but being non-obvious isn't a free pass. I am not angry at Inte
