Well, as long as it is illegal that means it must NEVER happen? Many things are illegal, yet still available for sale. Just look at the whole "performance parts" market which bypass EPA regulations as a small example. Or... if yo

They did not "copy data". they purchased something, returned it for a refund and then kept it by turning off the kindle's wifi. This clearly is retail fraud.

Your post makes no sense. Given this is posted on a Canadian site, and discusses Ontario.... Hospitals don't "make money" in Canada, they are all owned and funded by the government.

I feel bad for you having to deal with this stuff. It is strange how they often cite religious beliefs, but if they firmly believe in "god" why are they always willing to go to such great lengths to prevent dying? This is VERY unf

This is the main reason i stopped using Amazon around 2 years ago and cancelled my prime. Why not just go to the source (aliexpress) and save the large margin in exchange for a longer wait time?

Indeed it does cost them, and so you are right - they should simply pirate instead. The CBC did a writeup on this: https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/tiktok-trend-authors... .

Two things for you. First, I fully agree with everything you said. It wasnt the best use of money, but these people fail to grasp what it takes to build a system integrated with the government. Dealing with any large org requires a lot of

we had an on-prem splunk implementation and it was SOO SLOW.. it was built/managed by splunk and its consultants. We finally got rid of it a few years later, but for the entire time we had it, it was a constant "round hole square

So basically what you are saying is this. A firm with a competent IT team is unable to get splunk to work and only "outside help" can make the product work? Given splunks license costs are tied to data ingested, how do you integra

Dude.. it is the reserve currency.. when there are risks in the markets people RUN to it. The same as when the markets are volatile people dump stocks and buy bonds. Thanks for proving my point, that being a reserve currency gives you some

I think the far larger concern is what would happen should the US Dollar lose "reserve currency" status? At this point it is probably the only thing holding the US dollar up? It is easy to borrow when you hold the reserve currency

I still find the whole idea of "settling" for money instead of going to court and getting a guilty/innocent ruling troubling. This is not offered to "poor" people, so we have a clear two-tier justice system. Wealthy
