   But if John Doe wants information on someone named John Doe who "showed ID" to claim the money, he's just asking about "himself". I kinda get the point. If someone impersonates you, that information should not be pr

   Looks like the population of Japan is falling faster than the GDP of Japan. So "per capita" is kinda misleading here.

   I built JavaScript apps in 1995-1996... Must have been extremely uncool then...

   "Complex javascript apps just weren't a thing" I don't know what you were doing in 1995 and 1996, but I was building Javascript apps. They were "a thing" for me at least.

    No, but you should be a decent human being. The guy got scammed thousands of dollars and you're "that guy" saying it's probably his fault with no evidence. Just say, "sorry this happened to you, that sucks" or

    There is no way that is true. First of all, Udemy doesn't "steal" anything. They're a platform for people to post videos. Like if a Udemy course appears on YouTube, you cannot say "YouTube stole videos from Udemy.&q

    I think an argument can be made that, if an artist doesn't create their art because they figure they can earn more money as an investment banker and donate money to causes they care about instead, the world is actually worse off as a r

    No. I'm saying the ownership of land is not something that has, for centuries, been hidden. So if you are going to argue "we should be able to hide the ownership of land", you need a reason.

    Or to play the other side, why would anyone want to hide from public knowledge that they own a property? All property records are public. You can go to the city or county and get the names of who owns any property in that area. But now 30%

    The customer found someone to do the work and was willing to pay for it. If he had his customer's interests at heart, his objection should have ended the moment the customer made a decision. No need to "lose it".

    I agree. As 20+ years as a consultant, I can't imagine billing "per project". That dream project where the requirements don't change and the scope is perfectly estimated in advance doesn't exist.

    For a few years as a consultant, I was working 9 months and taking 3 months off in between. Can't complain about that.

    I think the app being talked about was $2.99 for the lifetime license. How does that work in your model?

    The app was $2.99 so I am not sure there will be any court cases for breach of contract. Just public shame.
