Spam goes back to the 70s. On the web side I remember back to at least 95 pretty well and there were banner ads everywhere. I had a homepage with like 3-4 web ring banners on it + the ads from Geocities themselves. A quick look says the fi

If you think there was no advertising on the internet in the 20th century then you probably weren't on the internet in the 20th century. If anything it was more obnoxious back then with poorly animated flashing banners on every page.

I'm going to assume from your reply that you've just not heard the term before but passive income refers to income from something where you do the work up front and it continues to pay down the road. A book is a perfect example of

I've used reddit for around 10 years now and the past 3 or so it has become a seriously hate filled place full of awful people. It makes me a worse person when I interact regularly there these days so I rarely do. If people on the oth

Voting is the way it is specifically to combat this problem. Your solution tries to fight against a problem that is basically impossible without systematic widespread corruption by opening it up to localized corruption which is historicall

You think people being compelled to vote for a specific person is an unlikely event? Unions, employers, organised crime, parents, etc have all over the years tried to force people to vote a specific way. If voting is verifiable they can b

I'm very familiar with how blockchains work. But if you can verify your vote then I can tell you to prove to me you voted for the person I told you to.

Any system that allows someone to confirm their vote is a system that allows people to be forced to vote for someone.

The roads in the US are in general horribly maintained. I've driven across it north/south 8-10 times and east/west 4 times along different routes/not just freeways and it's rare to find great roads. Michigan was t

Tata is in Markham right? I wonder what the split in on-shore/off-shore will be. One interesting point is that Markham itself is a pretty popular "off-shoring" location for US businesses.
