That's not necessarily true. A viewpoint is that the sales they are securing wouldn't have been made otherwise. For example, a website about high end electronics that is supported by drop-ship based ads for product purchases. T

Good point. They mention felonies and list some very serious specific ones so it primed me to think the list was all felonies, even though it did say "felonies and other crimes that would disqualify them". I'd still be ver

What I would really like to know is what is the rate of criminality within the CA police force vs the public. Because 12,000 in a 10 year period is a LOT of felons that have worn or still wear a badge. From what I can find, the US average

It's not that we hadn't noticed it before. It's that we hadn't thought about it before. We all knew from experience that none of us had gotten any sort of tan through glass when asked. We just never thought to thi

My point was that once you learn the basic physics underlying this, you should be able to come to the proper conclusion about the vitamin D question easily enough. Every person going through the US school system is required to take a basic

I think it's one of those things that should be common sense but we don't generally think about it hard enough. By that I mean everyone probably could figure it out if they just gave it about 30 seconds of thought. I clearly r

Thanks for this. I am shocked to learn that re-recordings of previously copyrighted work are not deemed derivative works and actually receive their own separate copyright even after the original has expired.

I could be mistaken, but if the original recording is no longer copyrighted, how can someone copyright an individual performance? Doesn't that fall under the derivative works portion of copyright law? Thereby making it the automatic

I would hesitate to speculate. Only Dr. Freeman has the first hand experience to weigh-in definitively on complex quantum events like a resonance cascade.

Interesting. But Google has something that allows all users to see what has been collected on them. All of my stuff is empty - no website history, no location history, no youtube history, etc. All of it is empty and always has been when

Yes, but that gives them tower connectivity only. Which is very, very general in terms of location unless you triangulate the location in real-time. And even then, you have to be connected to at least 3 towers at once for that to be accur

This should surprise no one. I believe this has been known for a while now. This is one of the many reasons I have location services and GPS disabled on my Android and have all that tracking/history disabled in my Google account. GP

The article is either slightly disingenuous or just structured less than ideally: "It’s perfectly legal, but is it right?" but then shortly after... "A post office box or a studio apartment somewhere on the east coast? They

1. Yeah, you wouldn't want to roll this out to places like Egypt or Iran, for sure. And I usually am very pro-privacy, but since people either pay the companies that run these apps/sites/services or they use it for free but

The solution seems relatively straightforward to me, but maybe I'm missing something. If you want to engage on a platform designed explicitly for adults doing adult things, you give them your driver's license number or non-driver

I need something pushing me. Usually it's a demand placed upon me that requires I learn it to meet some kind of deadline. It's got to be something time-bound. If it's just a general request, for example, from a higher up t

Nope. Liens are recorded with the county/state as part of property law, as well as any other encumbrances. So that would actually probably make your situation worse because the lien holder would have no clue about the debt and claim

Agree 100%. This is quite literally the only place I post anything online anymore, and it's been that way for some years now. I never had accounts with Twitter, Instagram, etc. Only Facebook because it was new when I was in college

Wow. What you wrote sounds like a classic description of serious addiction. Something like an alcohol, drug, sex, or porn addict might go through. That shows the true power this type of product/service can wield over a person. Thes

My recommendation is simple and it's what works for me. For a few weeks change your routine. Don't work on projects - you can think about them but don't actually work on them. Rest - like really rest. I'm usually

This is the most important point in the whole post: As your career progresses, each unit of work you do should generate more and more results. There are many ways to get this leverage, such as capital, technology, brand, network effects, a

I think people almost always confuse happiness with fulfillment. Fulfillment is something much deeper than happiness. I can watch an uplifting movie and be happy because that's a temporary emotion and state of mind. And I can, just

My recommendation is to be honest about your desires and value system and see which path lines up best with that. For example, it could be that AI provides the most potential monetary reward by a large margin if you do it well. But mayb

If you look at their SEC filings, it is clear that recently (I last looked early in 2018 or late 2017), the retail business was listed as having huge losses. Losses on the order of 15-20% of gross revenue! Meanwhile, AWS was highly profit

Amazon was most definitely unprofitable until the last few years as a whole. They just continually went back to investors asking for more money with the promise that they'll eventually solidify profits on the books.

You forgot the part about disregarding laws/regulations and trying to grow fast enough so that by the time the regulators start to apply pressure you have enough money and clout to fight back, all while preventing the smaller guys from

Is that true? If so, I wasn't aware 3 strikes could happen all at once. I thought a strike was incurred at a given sentencing, which incorporates all the charges from a single crime.

Honestly, yes. I realize that response sounds stupid but we're talking about something pretty obvious. Like "hey, if we catch you selling drugs again you go to jail for the rest of your life." Why anyone would ever take th
