If you attempt to use a credit card that you haven't used in years, the bank will similarly ask you to verify your identity. I don't think it's weird that unused valuable accounts need re-identification when you start to use

Twitter and Reddit are messageboards. Like Hacker News. Every time they do something controversial, someone thinks Usenet needs to be reincarnated. Trying to monetize that at scale is hardddd. Facebook has got groups, yes. But they have ins

And he was willing to pay for access. His argument is that the price far exceeds their cost and, with 30 days notice, that's unreasonable. I take him at his word that he was willing to pay a reasonable amount. Again, Reddit has the rig

I don't understand your hostility, sorry. He has 50,000 customers who paid $10/year for the app. Now he's put into a position to support those customers at $2.50/month. (He estimates their server cost is $0.10 per month.

Nobody made money on Usenet. It was a "cost" for all ISPs and eventually Google. So maybe that's why it failed.

Is that illegal? I don't see how you can sue someone over "discrimination based on phone manufacturer".

I acknowledged in my comment that even if the most charitable explanation was assumed, the method of accounting is misleading and makes determining the cost of anything impossible.

"when the contractors allocated their engineering expenses among the individual spare parts on the list... they simply treated every item the same" Sounds like an extra hammer would have cost an $15+$420=$435. Anyways, we'll

The so-called "real" explanation of the $600 hammer doesn't make the story any better. The hammer did indeed cost $435. If the government wanted to buy another one, the contractor would have charged them an extra $435. Just b

That's quite an extreme set of statements, and I very much doubt what you consider "illegal" is actually illegal. When you publish something for others to view (text, images, code, whatever), others are allowed to view it. Yo

I don't understand why people just automatically doubt things that companies say when they can be sued (or would otherwise destroy their business) if they are lying about it. Seems unnecessarily pessimistic.

The changing demographics is what causes the retirement age to be increased. In the 1960's, the average lifespan was in the 60s. So a retirement age of 65 meant that around half of retirees would die before collecting retirement. Now t

I don't know if there is a concept in copyright that prevents someone from viewing your work. Like, if you created a lovely piece of art, hung it on the outside of your house, and I was walking on the sidewalk and viewed it. I would no
