Right, so the burden of proof is on me to prove that selling on Amazon was in fact unprofitable. Would you like to see my receipts? Or maybe you could just take my comment as an idea that sparks interest in your brain, and then you can go G

Right, so if we downvote (literally censor) comments based on style and not content, but we also do it anonymously, it's all good, right?

People like you make this site so very unbearable. I enjoyed reading this article and all your behavior does is censor relevant and interesting info. That you announce it for kudos is even more infuriating.

Amazon requires zero interaction? I didn't know, it's been a few years since I have interacted with them, and I always remember my friends and family having to call Amazon to fix some issue, which, good on Amazon for handling that

I don't know if I'm wired weirdly, but I vert rately return things. I really don't like dealing with customer service, and I kind of live by a "buyer beware" motto. One time amazon shipped me a broken AmazonBasics m

Thank you for this. I agree that they are cowards. Damore is completely right, certain members of our society are shaming others into silence for supposed psychological safety. I also feel that money and political power are on the line too,

That donation becomes "speculation" if the token received from donating (i.e paying a price for a token) becomes tradable to other people. Of course it is a questionable medium to speculating in, since there is no real mechanism h

Plenty of things could be manufactured or coded in these areas. Cheap housing and materials in general mean you could make a really awesome hacker house or even factory for physical goods. Of course the real problems are: 1) VCs don't

"Improving patient outcomes" is quite possibly the most disgusting, 1984-esque buzzphrase right now. It's worded so that like, "who could be against that?" is what anyone would think. So some shady ads pushing start

Hmm interesting ethics in this one. I care about Newegg, I feel they offer me good prices and service. I bought many things from them over the last decade. So if this suit succeeds and Newegg takes a massive hit (for seemingly real fraud),

Thanks for the insight, Melinda. I really needed it, considering my former Microsoft manager personally laid me off because he just didn't like me.

Which is why I avoid the whole investing charade all together and just cut my expenses instead! Woohoo! No mortgage, no marriage, no restaurants, no fancy gadgets, just a nice relaxing low cost of living life with friends who feel the same

Just a friendly reminder, from a former Oracle employee who was laid off recently, that Oracle is cancerous, rapacious, and DOES NOT respect you as a user or customer. They WILL audit you. They WILL sue you. They WILL harass you. They WILL

This is a halfway decent article from Business Insider. I find myself 50/50 on this issue. When I need cutting edge info, or niche info, I typically read it on a screen. When I need offline info, or low power info, or simply a differen

Thank you for your thoughtful, reasoned reply, and the effort you put into confirming what I have said anecdotally. It is often a thankless job and I appreciate that you've provided these numbers. It really shows the income disparity b

I completely agree, I bet you have 100 people making 10m+ per year, and 20,000 staff and interns at the back office in New Jersey making 45,000 maximum, hired from SUNY schools. What do you think of my estimation?

I'm not precisely a pizza fan, so no, but Devil's advocate, literally ALL of my personal info is online and (sadly) very easily searchable, so at this point... might as well get some free food out of it...

Since it's IBM, they probably have duped a few logos into buying a trial subscription as part of another sale of a more traditional product. Voila, now everybody is "using" it where "using" = sitting dormant.
