It's worth a try; that would require the receiving bank to return it from the Coinbase account. Maybe they would have a better line to Coinbase then I'm getting.

Ah, Cloudflare doesn't bill you per GB as long as your usage fits into the normal plans. I use Cloudflare and I have a per GB limit/billing without Argo.

How is that any different from any other provider? If you have a link from an ISP and block it at your router, security appliance, WAF, etc, you are still charged for it. In this case, Cloudflare is going to be "charged" for it

I'm considering that taking this funding at a very high valuation will force them to change Reddit in a way that results in its ultimate demise. What's wrong with a good stable community and business, as it is?

"who is going to be able to charge more fees to an unsuspecting client?" That's my point, finding a great lawyer isn't easy, and I don't think it's related the underlying technology. The tech can make a great

"It's not perfect, but if you make ten billion dollars from fraud," I don't see how this applies to this matter. From what I read in the article, Uber was being sued and investigating a crime that occurred through the ap

Are you suggesting that invasion of privacy become a criminal offense? Effectively, that's what happened here, and even though its Uber, its individuals who did it. Your neighbor could do it to you as well. This seems like a slipper

I see what you're saying, the consequences don't outway the benefit of breaking the law; Congress can solve that through tougher penalties. That said, I feel confident the answer is not putting MORE people in Prison, especially f

"The real question, of course, is whether he'll return to Uber a changed man, or whether Travis 2.0 will just be a modified version of Travis 1.0." Of course, he's going to be a "modified version" of himself.
