Not sure this is true. The registration documents claim shares can only be traded in 50,000 share blocks (called "Baskets", approx worth $1 million at launch) and you have to be a registered broker-dealer (with a bunch of other ri

According to the filing, they have a 50,000 share minimum, which works out to $1 million at IPO price. Going to buy a few of those $1 million lots on a whim?

They did the same to me, when I dropped my first iPad and cracked the screen. They looked at it, and said "We'll sell you a new one at half price". Oh thanks, not even going to pretend to try to fix it? But I did buy the new

I bet things haven't changed as much as you think. It was probably pretty rare back then to find the right person working for the right boss. And it's equally rare today. And I would disagree with the second point. I've hired

It's probably fair to say Dupont introduced it into widespread use in the United States given that they were the first to manufacture it there.

Does anyone else find it funny that Google will work with Sony to sell this movie, but the hacked emails reveal how Sony is going after Google (Project Goliath) to get them to censor search results? Strange bedfellows...

Couldn't an author renounce copyright for certain works? Perhaps if you want to be listed on those sites, you should do that before you die. Or your heirs can if they have no ongoing payments from that work any more.

For the sake of a handful of older profitable works, all works will forever be held back from the public domain. Better that you concede Mickey Mouse and let the rest benefit society as public works.

Can't speak to "insane prices". But Patrick got AppointmentReminder.org for $8. He classifies it as the best ROI he's ever made. "cars.com" is still the #1 result for searching "cars". And "busin

I didn't know that, and I'm happy to hear that. And I agree that it's more profitable to serve the bigger customers, but it's a shame nonetheless that I see things that I would love to try to use myself, and would pay fo

I have no problem with you spending your money on whatever you want. But there is a dangerous belief that education = investment for all cases. Way too many students leave college with $50,000+ in debt for "Community Service" degr

The point stands that there is a well-established, well-funded and well-connected group protecting copyright, so going against it in any form will not be easy. If a citizen tries to get copyright law amended through the courts, they will fa

I think that politicians should just admit what they're doing, extend copyright only for Disney Corporation, and leave the rest to enter the public domain.

Apparently it's not easy to get rid of student loans in bankruptcy. IIANL. Also, isn't bankruptcy pretty brutal for a couple of years at least? Some employers do credit checks. I was even asked "Have you ever been bankrupt?&q

Getting a Masters of French History degree, with $100,000 in student debt, is what people object to. Nothing against French History, but paying $100,000 on a credit card to learn it is not "investment in your brain". Investment im

So the stock market has a little correction, and he loses his job in the resulting recession (a la 2008). The debt doesn't go down, the minimum payments remain the same, and now he has no income and half of the investment amount he onc

Most likely it's some 14 year old with a small bot network. Or they decided to unplug their router for a week or two to have a bit of a Christmas break from the hassle of maintaining it, since it doesn't harm them in any way.

Actually, I'm always disappointed to see useful software priced out of the reach of small businesses - and low priced plans disappear in 1-3 years after a cool tool launches. Visual Website Optimizer, Hubspot, Leadpages, etc all get pr

That's a myth. It "reduced" the bonus, but the bonus clearly still exists. But I love that others think that domain name is no longer relevant for SEO. Keep thinking that. :)

I bet it must be an amazing relief to be able to talk specifics of AR, after so long of having to be quiet about the details. Congrats on your success, Patrick.

Notice that Amazon.com does say "Only 3 left in stock! Hurry!" when stocks are low, but they don't tell you when stocks are high. So maybe that tactic works when they're about to run out. But the reverse is also true. If
