PvP for some games can be like joining a sports team. Some people prefer it as a competitive outlet.

There is a stated delivery timeframe though, if the sellers frequently miss that they will get suspended. If the product matches the description and comes within the quoted timespan, I don't think it should matter where it comes from.

Most big sellers will list on both and eBay's fees are lower. So in terms of marketplace products you can likely find them cheaper on eBay.

I think you have to see it as short term revenue. There are opportunities right now, but they might not be there for long and I wouldn't stake my business on them.

I am a bit torn on this one. On one hand it makes sense that you shouldn't lose the account, on the other it opens 2FA up to social engineering. Recently I have been a lot more careful storing provided one time codes or the original QR

Google should absolutely not index, at least not under the current organic and news search. Why should they send traffic to articles that people can't freely view? I would support some kind of premium news offering from Google where th

I think that would be true if all potential locations had the tax. As they are just parking their money, the exact city they buy into doesn't matter too much to them outside of the economics.

It really depends on the relative utility of that $5 to you. For some it would be a barrier, in that they would have free time that could have potentially been spent watching a movie but they didn't want to spend the $5. For others, th

Sure there are other ways that you could pay. I don't get though why directly paying for the content giving you entertainment is so bad? Being a digital good some people will choose to avoid paying, but I suspect that would be true of

With apps the question is if what is being made is good enough? While there is no shortage of apps being put out there is certainly a lot of developers that have been driven away from the app ecosystem. You would be crazy these days to bet

Does it matter? They have built a prototype, has anyone else done that on this scale? Experimenting with a decent sized model seems like a pretty big step towards having something workable.

Google is selling ad inventory where it didn't previously. Google Shopping is slowly rolling out across the world, initially in new markets there is a lot less competition than established ones, so the clicks can be had a lot cheaper.

The financial instruments have become so complicated that I think the laws need to be vague to ensure that there is power to do something if an investigation happens. At the same time there is complaints about how complicated the tax codes

AMP is okay for news, but terrible for other forms of content. The reddit implementation is way less usable on mobile than going to their actual site. It also results in lower quality news appearing at the top of searches in cases where th

Not sure what country you refer to. In Australia though a similar requirement has become somewhat meaningless as the market is controlled by a few massive franchises.

I don't care at all where they are located or their nationality. I just haven't come across many instances where the outsourced phone support did the job as well as the companies that are using local call centres.

They were grounded, the FAA was a party to the AMOS-6 investigation. I don't think they would have been given a license until the FAA were satisfied with the results of that investigation.

Depends what you see as your competitive advantage. Of course it is easy to be seduced by the possibility of big margins in scaling up like that. If you are a software developer looking to run a solo or small business though you are suddenl

Have you tried going to these vendors directly to dropship? I assume you would get big savings cutting out 2 middlemen. Most suppliers aren't properly setup to dropship but would probably be pretty easy to get an account with a bigger

This worries me a bit. At the moment they are providing the software and hosting it all absolutely free. I would happily still use Discord if they provided the exact same thing with a monthly fee. Hopefully at some point they throw in some
