This is probably a misunderstanding of mine, but I fear that it isn't: "Oh, if I can quantify the square meters of forest absorbing CO2, someone will pay me money per sqm? Then let me map how many sqm this forest has, which been h

If they're eluding cops at 100mph and being a danger to the public, it's because they're being chased by cops... But well, it's America, having the risk of a stray cop bullet hitting you because just like car chases, sho

If the article was about how Muslim families home-school their kids, your comment would not be so greyed out... (I'm not saying it's true for 1 religion and false for the other, but I'm betting a lot of people would think so.

Ah, makes me think of MacOS system 7 days. MacOS formatted the 3.5" disks with its own filesystem, so if you copied a file onto it, and put the disk in a Windows PC (or DOS?), the PC would go "Huh?". 3 decades later, hooray,

Man, what a waste of resources. It'd be funny if the client side just did a hash of the "uploaded" files, told the server the hash, and then the server can compare the hash and use the server copy of the assets, to save bandw

But now you need to enter your own tax number to lookup other people's data, and they can see that you've been peeking. But I suppose one could start a service, so you could pay them to look up a 3rd party's tax returns...
