I imagine ex-bureaucrats are useful to hire because of all the connections they made while in office. If there are term limits and the churn rate is high, that doesn't leave much time to build those connections while in office, or to keep

Often times customers use your product in a way you didn't intend. A $300 house may have value, just maybe not the way the builders envision it.

For the sake of thinking it through, how exactly would a government get rid of bitcoin? I imagine they'd make it illegal to accept bitcoins as payment, which would remove all legitimate users from the market, but illegal drug buyers and sel

Or better, the good ol' "copy of a copy" analogy. Or you might compare it to re-compressing a jpeg over and over.

In response, AT&T issued a statement stating that the allegations were “without merit.” I think it would come off a lot better if they just said "We're looking into the issue and will make it right if we've wronged anyone."

I don't think anyone believes there is actually a bubble in diplomas. Obviously there aren't any DBS's (diploma backed securities), or diploma flipping schemes. However you might be able to make the case that there is a bubble related to u

I think part of the problem is that people have been sold on the idea that Macs are safe and "there aren't any viruses for the Mac." There is this ill conceived notion that naive users hold that they aren't at risk so they'll more more inc

Sometimes I know there is something wrong with my app because someone writes a bad review, but I can't do anything about it because I can't contact them to figure out how they got that problem. So I made the "contact us" functionality front

No. Think about it. For example, even if you could make an iOS app on an iPad you wouldn't want to. There are legitimate reasons for wanting a keyboard and trackpad. iOS is the future of Apple and they want all those iOS apps to be avail
