I personally know someone who had a website seized by the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) for linking to copyright content. It all comes down to intent. When visiting a site like ThePirateBay or TorrentButler, it's clear

Is being an entrepreneur not a gamble? Is life not a gamble? Are relationships not a gamble? I'd say every decision someone makes has an element of gambling to it. The nature of gambling is picking something over something else and hop

With mobile providers in the US, if you don't use your "upgrade" you can keep using the service with no contract. If you accept their upgrade, an offer of getting a new phone at discount, you lock yourself in for another year

I was involved in a company that hosted and rented servers for video games. It grew really big, but shut down solely on the basis of, "these 12 year olds are going to drive us insane."

That's pretty much what I expected to hear. It's a good idea, but I don't think the execution is quite right.

There is no value in a thoughtless "enjoyed reading" or "nice read." If that's all someone has to say, I would recommend waiting until they have more to say. If they want to spend 5 minutes explaining their thought

It's redundant. An upvote says the same thing. Feedback needs substance, and without substance, it's just noise. People come here specifically because there isn't much noise. It all comes down to respect. Respect my time by p

You'd be lucky to get 1/50th of the advertised Gbps. Hackforums is where script kiddies go. It's just a bunch of unemployed kids trying to show off with software/code that they didn't make themselves, but they will

The US won't allow you to enter if there are pending criminal charges against you in your own country. You could lie on the paperwork and hope they don't check, but if they find out, you could be deported.

Up to 60 floors / 20,000 people in an apartment building? I didn't realize that existed. I don't think you'd find an apartment building in the US that has even a fraction of that. The largest hotel in New York is the Mar

PayPal will take the money right out of your bank account. If that doesn't work, they send you to collections and your credit score takes a dive.

I have been asked to remove profiles, data, images, features, the entire website, the domain, links, the list goes on. Sometimes just a few, sometimes an amount that would cripple the business. Most of the claims are overreaching bullying o

I agree that intent can be meaningful in a court of law. But try the intent excuse with a woman or in a business transaction and it might not matter. Sure it could, but it's usually the end result that really matters. Intent translates

If I complied with every request like this, I wouldn't have made a single successful website. You shouldn't be so afraid to stand up for yourself. Entrepreneurs need to have thick skin and not buckle under every little bit of pres

DropBox can't just easily Google an answer like you would with a Wordpress blog. Their bottleneck wouldn't be web based, so how they load their javascript or if they use image spriting is basically irrelevant. Scaling a website wi

Existing flagging systems are adequate and 1 cent per use doesn't seem like a sustainable business model for anyone involved. It seems like mostly social networks would be your customer, but 5 minutes is a long wait and eliminates many

Coding checks such as those are pretty tedious. It's not hard, and that's why it's not interesting.

That is the incentive behind all the remakes, but it doesn't change anything. In life, intent doesn't mean much. It can be a slap in the face sometimes as well. Besides, commercial intent is inevitable when they start to grow.
