That wasn't Snapchat's fault, was it? AFAIK a third party was the one that messed up, or did I eat the Snapchat PR bullshit?

Come live in Mexico and tell me that the drug war is working. And once you are at it, try to explain how the potential risk of getting some more people addicted is better than 40,000 deaths, as many "disappearances" and many more

There is a pretty popular expression in Galicia (Spain)that sums up this perfectly: "Eu non creo nas meigas, mais habelas, hainas" Which roughly translates to: I don't believe in witches, but they are out there

You are forgetting about the strength of unions. Strikes look really bad for politicians and they are really easy to put together in countries such as Spain or France. On top of that, for some historical reasons citizens of these countries

Is there any evidence that they are operating at a loss? For 2013 Comcast reported 13.5 billion operating income on 64.6 revenue [1]. This means that they could potentially lower their prices 20% without incurring in losses. If we assume th

You are probably right about the market being not that liquid, but it's not like illiquidity is a requirement, just take a look at the lawsuits for rigging the interest rate and FX benchmarks.

I'm sure you are aware of this, but the average here seems missleading. The median household has never Torrented anything, therefore I think that the median would be more representative of the average user's habits.

Oh, no, I guess I didn’t express myself properly. It is obvious that they were slaves. I was asking if the significant would actually be necessary in that case. And if it wouldn't be, what is significant implying in this definition

Murder has always been illegal, in every society, throughout history. Nevertheless murder rates vary widely from one society to another. So no, "the law against murder is the number one thing preventing murder". There is much more

Aren't satellite communications a bit limited by the uplink connection? When are we going to have a small enough antenna that's able to communicate with a satellite while fitting inside a cell phone?

That makes much more sense than the big tough guy that I mentioned. But there are still many reasons why an innocent person thrown in jail could make up an story. I guess that it would be OK to use that confession if it leads the investigat

Well, the state is the one who started the whole ordeal by making drugs illegal. So I would argue that in a real free-market no engineer would have been kidnapped in the first place.

This could be avoided if encrypting files before uploading them to the web was the standard. Granted, the system wouldn't be as user friendly, but at least the chances of exposing your naked ass on the internet would decrease significa
