What do you mean "turned into"? Gizmodo describes itself as a "Technology blog focused on gadgets."

"American anti-gambling laws." It's more than that. The U.S. actually prosecuted executives of foreign online gaming companies for providing services to U.S. citizens. The problem is not that American citizens fall under U.S.

According to your link, Firefox has 0.7% market share in mobile, which is the relevant metric to this post.

I agree it's income, but it's also a tip. Like if I sent $5 to your Paypal account directly. You need to declare that, but does Paypal care whether I owed you $5 or it's income? Good question actually. What's Paypal doin

"Patreon is the U.S. and not subject to European laws." What makes you think this is true? Why can't Americans play poker online? Why does Amazon have to collect state taxes for states they don't have a physical presence

I would suggest that any time you try to cut out significant profit out of an established system, you've got the whole system working against you. Sure, it can be done. But everything will be more difficult. And you'll have to do

It's what they were making per month in October 2014. How is that misleading? Their costs don't appear to be that substantial if you watch the video.

Actually, if you think of Uber cars as "mobile showrooms", there's a million opportunities to push real or digital products to the passengers in the back. Like Skymall for cars. Wait, maybe Skymall isn't the best example

Would Patreon or Gittip (which has changed its name to something I can't recall at the moment) not work for this? In fact, Gittip's original mission was tips for open source projects.

There does seem to be a need for an "Internet fund". Pick 100 of the core free technologies that everyone relies on and pay people to maintain them.

I agree it should expire and require active effort (and some $ amount) to renew. That way, Mickey Mouse can still be under copyright but most other artistic works will be available for public use.

Yeah, agreed, that's a terrible definition of a good job. 1) Many people live off investments, pensions and passive income 2) Many people have income that is not regular or predictable, but large 3) Many people have good paying jobs th

Apparently, they only just found this manuscript hidden in a box "in the fall of 2014", so it was probably not the new book that person was talking about. In fact, this was the original book before "To Kill a Mockingbird&quot

Yes, this "sequel" was apparently the original book she wrote before her book editor told her to focus on when Scout was a child (the flashbacks). And they just found the manuscript hidden in a box a few months ago apparently.

Yes! That's the question! Was it that they were too successful trading, or was it their employer (or a co-worker) reporting on their side-business to the SEC.

Evil is kind of harsh. It's actually clever. As the article says, a lot of hard work and risk went into these trades.

I think they were primarily a victim of their massive success. If they had only made $500,000 instead of $2.8 million, they might still be going along fine. How did they get caught? Did the SEC see this account has 1,800% return on investme

I am surprised the author avoids the two obvious counter-arguments completely. One, jokes are generally very short. 5 words, 10 words. This is not comparable to a song, or a book, or a movie. I'm not saying a lot of creative effort doe

I would imagine Coca-cola would not be pleased if you took the recipe to their beverage and started making your own at home. Which is why it's not published anywhere and kept a closely guarded secret. Some big companies still care gre

It sounded like they were talking about "resources". I took that to mean they were redesigning the back end of the site to handle the all of the traffic, submissions and the confusing range of submissions they get. I dunno either.

To take the other side of that argument, as someone who has seen hundreds of resumes and interviewed hundreds of developers in the past, you do have a challenge in front of you to overcome the "never had a real coding job" stigma.

I'm not policing anything. But the term "rice rocket", shortened to "ricer", is indeed derogatory towards Asians. Language matters.

There's plenty of evidence for what I said if you look.[1] France is basically a socialist country, so there is a lot more going on there other than minimum wage. It's difficult to compare with other countries, because there are d

I think the counter-argument is "This is guaranteed to save a few lives over the years". It may not be great for every condition, particularly mid-town Manhattan or Los Angeles, but in other cities, having a car engine sound does

Surely you are not using the term "ricer crowd" to refer to Asians?

I support the EFF and the protection of fair use, but I don't think this article is well written enough to make a good case for it. It makes some coherent points near the end of the article, but the beginning is just a jumble of statem

I think there is a natural downward pressure on wages, and it takes real effort to fight it. Unfortunately, people have these unfounded fears that raising the minimum wage will cost jobs when in fact there's no evidence that places wit
