I feel like the reason there is a demand for applications like this is not to prevent all cheating but to enable the school / Uni to claim that anti cheating measures where used for online testing. I think the product is really smart.

I'm a low income student (in a first world country so still far from poor) and it is totally doable for me to only buy animal products from ethical sources. It just means I eat a lot less of it. I don't think everyone needs to be

I'm a CS student in Germany and contrary to the authors claim we actually do evaluate teachers (to be fair that might not have been common place when she was teaching). This is obviously anecdotal but in my experience these ratings see

> Traders cannot make a profit if they don't manipulate the price. Traders aren't the only reason prices move. Clearly a wide spread crop failure would also increase grain prices. You can still make money as a trader if you do

I don't think this becoming common knowledge would have a noticeable impact on sales. Few people imagine themselves to ever be in a position where they would want to protect the info on their phones from LE.

I'd be interested to see what the median profit would look like after adjusting for COL. My guess would be that most high earning drivers are in areas with high population density (thus also likely to be more expensive) so I'm no

I'd love to see who is buying the miners and what percentage of customers manage to run profitable mining operations. Mining without having access to nearly free energy seems to me to be very dependent on bitcoin increasing in value.

Unless I'm missing something this doesn't really seem to launder the money. Sure you have converted bitcoin to cash but the cash still doesn't look like legitimate income if you don't sell the books under your own name (

Gyft appears to me to be a legit business (I only had a short look at their website). Buying gift cards at regular prices and then selling them with a small markup while providing anonymity for your customers seems plausible.
