At least for Ohio and Indiana, they want to know who you are (the requester), who you want to know, why you want to know, and money. Genealogy is a perfectly good answer.

Sigh. I will buy online for most things. Things I don't: groceries, clothes. (Why: Our meat guy takes orders and we pay and pick up. Avg bill~$55. Grocery doesn't have automated picking -krogers-. Would use it if we could.) Now, w

Also, if you shop at Amazon, use smile.amazon.com for purchases, after hooking it up to EFF. It's the "Give % of sales to non-profit of your choice" option in Amazon.

Money is the biggest sign of a disparity. But it's not the only sign. Another sign is "does each side know what they are agreeing to?" In medical industry, that concept is called informed consent. A party who is accustomed to

Lets say your narrative is true.... > Many of the laws are crap anyways and due for replacement - taxi medallions being the canonical example here. Agreed. It came from a time in which kidnapping and other nefarious tactics were used. Ce

False equivalence. Consultants have been around for a long time. And they command a high rate, because they are pros. No, they aren't an employee, nor would either side want them to be. They do the job, paid well, and part company. Mos

And I think the way I grew up and the things that's happened to me that goes against the flow of what others say and see. One of my first jobs was a Subway. Had a female manager. Her boss was the district manager and also female. Cool.

Nahh, it's more like: "there is a new breed of startups that's in the business of selling dollar bills for 50 cents and the bills are counterfeit. Cash out before we're caught." It really says it, considering that m

All jobs have lulls and busy times. But what this comes down to is that employment law costs money. How much? Between $7000-$10000 per employee . It's a no-brainer to cut out employment law and make the choice between "work crappy

Why would it be? I'm seeing a lot of reasons to bust "employment". Here's some. 1. Unemployment insurance? Well, you aren't employed. 2. Get hurt on the job? You're not on a job, 1099'er. 3. You "get&

The underlying question is "Does skirting employment law by using only 1099'ers make a profitable business solution?" In this case, the answer is no. But the general answer to that question is "Yes, it is very profitable

You can still do the same thing with OSMC and piratebay. The only, I repeat, ONLY reason why RasPi doesn't "support" netflix is because of DRM. The media files would easily play. So instead of downloading the file each time y

I agree and disagree with you at the same time. IoT, especially with things like the Photon and ESP8266 are major game changers. However, the idea of a baked-in WiFi stack with little/no way to update protocol bugs is rather scary prop
