To echo a sibling comment, I think you may be discounting the time and effort it would take to monitor every change made and the ripple effects of each change. One of the key pieces of open source is the larger a project, the more people wi

Sure, but my suspicion is that the main driver for someone doing this is the allure of moving to a different country, especially one with such a reputation of having beautiful scenery and culture.

Absolutely. This is why in the digital currency realm we’ll absolutely see a repeat of many the exact same grifts over and over again that we’ve already gone through and already figured out how to mitigate. But we’ll just fall for them all

I don’t think any serious person has ever implied the stock market has no regulations/protections. I mean, are you surprised that some things are illegal? Of course not, no one is surprised by this. Could you imagine what a clusterfuck

I’m a fan of stephenson, but honestly i’d skip it. Its not one of his best to the degree that you should force yourself to read it—if the beginning doesn’t grab you, it’s not going to later as it doesn’t change much throughout the book, or

Nestle products are titled under 2000 different brand names. For instance, cheerios, golden grahams, digiorno pizza, jacks pizza, lean cuisine, gerber, maybeline makeup brands, some shampoo brands, etc… It’s definitely possible, but it’s a

Each of the comments that mirror yours illustrate a major problem we have in the tech sphere—assuming _we_ know better what the end user needs therefor we don’t listen to the actual user. In our defense, we’re very disconnected from the

“Misleading statements” is doing a lot work here. When we’re talking about organizations who exist solely in the realm of toying with people’s finances, a “misleading statement” is nothing more than a lie. They were misleading people. Ther

One of them. No. But I don’t think anyone is saying that one single instance would change everything. If all of those who make a couple million a year who also avoid their taxes were to pay them, yes.
