I guess the analogy kind of falls down as a physical business owner and move and setup somewhere else, but then they won’t have access to the mall’s traffic… actually I guess this kind of still holds up

Why though? If I build a big fancy shopping mall should I let business owners use units rent free? I’ve paid construction costs, electricity, taken the risk etc, so it’s obvious I should be able to profit from tenants otherwise I wouldn’t h

I did this 2 years ago, it probably changed my life. I still don’t consider myself a runner but can now run a 5k in about 30 minutes on any given day. If you’re considering it go for it!

It can both true that those shoplifters getting caught are punished to the full extent of the law and that it is hard to catch 50/50 people who were in a shop for 30 seconds and arrest them for shoplifting. So hard in fact that if the

The grand parent comment is likely referring to ‘deep web’ apps that you or I will never see, which probably replace a series of excel spreadsheets and email conversations.

It was a top secret plan spanning multiple countries likely run by corrupt officials, I think it probably cost more than 90 million!

It’s probably a coincidence or just the worst advertisers on the planet. Why would I show an ad to someone who literally just bought my thing?

Is your point that the music is bad because it can function as background music and doesn’t require active listening to enjoy? Or that the music is good but the listeners are bad as they play it in the background? Would your opinion of his

In my experience it's better to go to an 'Authorized Service Provider' for repair. They have an incentive to do repairs and get paid, and it's quite easy for them to get Apple to pay the repair cost. E.g. on my machine t

I can deposit into my pokerstars account, to upgrade my app experience to play with real money; I’m assuming Apple are not taking a cut as this would make the iOS app unprofitable for pokerstars. Interestingly they also allow you to deposit

Sophisticated investors can use options to construct payout graphs that are not linear, e.g. you can form an M shaped payout with knock out puts & calls. They’re actually used to manage risk, not gamble. Most option activity is large in

It’s the default because Java has a history, and it was set when everyone was deploying war files to machines with 512mb total memory and the default worked for 95% of people for the past 25 years. In fact, it’s still good enough for the ch

Before AirBnB, you just had BnBs. In England at least they were often farmhouses, and the owner literally makes you breakfast if you were staying in their main house (this was a large part of it). I’m not sure what if any regulation applies

I think you are missing the point of the system: you pay the difference in general income tax now so when you are unable to pay such levels the state (and those still paying income tax) take care of you. If you are always able to pay for pr

I have seen some day rate contracts in Zurich at astronomical rates, if you don't mind working for a Big Bank. One of them even offered expensed flights, hotel accommodation and a (substantial) per diem! J2EE isn't the bleeding ed

My personal view is that the 'what' in frontend development generally isn't super interesting and most web frontends are very similar; if you do not focus on new tooling, you will just do the same thing over and over which is

If I understand bitcoin correctly (I probably don't); Mining a block is finding some numbers (maybe they all have to be prime?) whose product is a large number ending in a specified number of zeros. Hence the zero sum game comment :)

I'm pretty sure they're a Java shop, and they're referring to sun.misc.unsafe and the goodies inside that let you manually allocate memory.
