The author didn't touch upon what I think is the biggest issue with this. I can be pretty damn sure that 51.50799,-0.12803 is really close to 51.51799,-0.12803 and even closer to 51.50800,-0.12803 just by looking at the numbers becaus

"Many of us would gladly take advantage of a free computer tune-up from a big-name retailer. We wouldn’t suspect the tune-up might be a tech support scam." Funny, that's precisely what I would suspect it was.

I believe that's a current theory in the Physics community. Also, it reminds me a bit of the miniature galaxy from the original Men in Black film - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7ojSW5pODk

One of the many, many reasons to not ever use the "login with your Facebook account" (or Google or whatever) on any site. And that's before you even take into consideration what sites like Facebook and Google are doing wit

Absolutely agree. The creation of technology that allowed people to scale their work is the key. With a single song/album that was sold in stored as well as being able to be played via FM radio and television, a single person could

" make me pay taxes, but make everyone else pay theirs" If you want to pay, as you stated, no one needs to force you. That was the point of my original statement. It sounds like you approve, in general, of the tax structure a

Any time anyone says they "want to pay taxes", you know they are lying. No one anywhere wants to pay - no one looks forward to it. Not that I'm a fan of big government, but I don't understand why, if they really are j

That's the wrong analogy - it's not about loosening the laws. It's about reducing the overhead/framework for something that is no longer as necessary. It should be " homicides are down, should we reduce the number

Exactly this. First job I ever had was in the financial industry but was part of a larger conglomerate in the media business. As such, we were forced into the union that the writers for the media company were all a part of. Its unusual to

I was disagreeing with the stated use of the law that the OP claimed. I was saying that I am pretty sure all developed countries have laws that already serve the stated purpose, thereby negating the need for this. I did some quick searchin

I disagree. The law in most countries already allows for prosecution for services that exist primarily/solely to aid in the commission of crimes. For example, torrent websites are periodically taken down and seized based on laws arou

This is a garbage article. They are basically taking the concept of entropy and saying that because they found a way to force something to happen that is insanely improbable it's "reversing time". That's nonsense. That

Interesting. Thanks. I guess since I keep everything perfectly separated I didn't even know that was a possibility.

Really? I didn't know that. I figured that was kind of a must, but apparently not.

I might be missing something here, but he's buying a bunch of stuff in the name of the LLC but they aren't actually LLC expenses. Isn't that a violation of tax law at minimum? Possibly something more serious like fraud, no?

It depends on the person. I personally dislike cities in the general sense and would probably never live in one. I don't like such a high population density and lack of greenery. I'd much rather drive around a suburb or countr

They've never made a profit in any year. And the last two years in a row their top line sales have declined. Furthermore, their stock price has gone from $10 to <$1 since they IPO'ed. I'd definitely call that a failure

Your comment got me thinking about another issue. The "sorry, I have a boyfriend" excuse would no longer be valid as an easy way to let someone down. With that gone, all that's left is the truth. Also, I had always viewed t

Given that the concept for this app is to "bring human interactions back to the dating scene", I'm not sure it serves any purpose. The idea is to see who around your physically location is single and strike up a conversation

That's what regular human conversation is for.

I suppose you have a point. I have believed (known?) for a while that this was simply not true so since the magnitude of this difference is what most would call not statistically significant, I treated it as worthless. Though, I imagine t

This whole article is a big fat nothingburger. This is less than $1,000 per employee that was adjusted. Given the salaries at Google, this is almost certainly a <1% difference and the pay bump is pretty much negligible. It's less

Also, status. Emotion + status = $$$$$. There's a sense of self-worth for a lot of women superimposed straight onto the event itself because everyone knows it's for the bride more than anything else. Don't have a big to-do

I think you're on the right track with this. The issue, apparently, for Spielberg is the definition of a movie. From the article it seems that his definition includes the requirement that a film must be shown in theaters to be a movi

Is there any reason cities haven't rolled out an app similar to Uber/Lyft for the actual licensed taxi drivers? The whole idea of Uber was that you could get a ride on demand and didn't have to fight for or wait for a cab as
