I reject that notion entirely. The employees are the reason why the store was able to do so well. They should get the bulk of the reward for that. I flat out reject this idea that people should get the bulk of reward simply for already havi

The author is far more charitable in his characterization of the scammer than I would be. No one "accidentally" copies someone's website, and no one "accidentally" scams someone. And a person who does that is not a

Well, for one, the employees are a huge part of why those shareholders get any returns in the first place.

Wrong. I am not telling any company to treat their employees like crap to squeeze an extra penny of profit out of them.

Maybe. But how have some of Amazon's other acquisitions gone? I believe Audible and Zappos were largely left alone after they were bought, but I could be wrong.

Not if they're all only around each other. I'm talking they need to be locked up with genpop at a medium or high security prison. With gang members and such.

I don't see why we can't have both. But, for it to really work, you can't throw them in Country Club Resort prison. They have to go to Pound-Me-In-The-Ass prison. They need to be locked up with some really bad people. Because

I would be more than happy to exchange many of the non-violent offenders who ended up doing not much harm on an absolute scale with these white collar criminals who end up harming many, many more people.

Is it? I feel there are other things to strive for that are more important than if we have a "free enough market" or not.

No we don't. Nobody is responsible for this behavior except for the banks that do it. They are run by adults who are perfectly capable of taking responsibility for their actions.

But clearly, what needs to happen is that the protections passed in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis need to be undone, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau needs to be neutered.

There will ALWAYS be people like that. And those people, if Arduino wasn't available and as easy as it is, wouldn't move over to writing PIC or AVR assembly. They just wouldn't be doing their projects in the first place. And

I'm sorry, but I fail to see how a product that makes it not just easier, but possible in the first place for people to work with embedded controllers, is "stifling innovation."

The thing is, the motivation is different when it's fake internet points than when it's actual money. The relationship between the people is different, too. The way it works now, the relationship is a cordial, friendly, familiar r

People have said that, but they can only mention the one feature. That, from what others have said, didn't work very well on GIMP, but worked well on Photoshop.

If you haven't done so, spend a couple weeks on a beach (or something else relaxing). Second, you've got that breadth of knowledge, but now you want some depth. Pick something, even if that means you throw a dart at a wall, and tr

In that context, then yeah, I can see that. Given the board, it's usually assumed that people are looking at it from a SV point of view, and so the assumption is that it's the "regular dinner" that gets brought in every

Yes, it's fair. If you're not willing to pay what's being charged, you don't get the thing.

I suppose you could post your project idea on there, and see if it takes off. Although it's not clear who makes the decision of who "officially" gets to tackle it, there's really nothing stopping you from tackling it any

Cool idea, but it seems like some of these are beyond the realm of a "side project". Like the News Aggregator one ( https://www.demandrush.com/problems/news-aggregator-paywall ). That one you couldn't real

Kickstarter or Patreon would seem to be the kind of thing made for this problem. Maybe those that donate more get their pet issue moved up the queue.

Well, for one, Google does offer the catered dinners. If Uber didn't, then the engineers either wouldn't stay late (ideally; workaholism is bad), or they'd go somewhere that does offer that kind of thing.
