You keep using the word scam. I don't think it means what you think it means. ;) If two people want to send some bits between each other, and they both know what they're doing, it's not a scam. It may be risky, it may be unwi

Even if this system cost $20 million to set up, how much public transit does that buy you? 100 feet of subway track? 20 buses? 1 mile of streetcar track? Transit is way more expensive than any cameras.

Kiva sends me emails weekly, asking me to relend my funds as they get paid back. So the email is not the problem. In fact, I get emails from them every few days. The thing that I wonder about Kiva is the "donate to Kiva" part. If

You don't have YOUR_LAST_NAME.com as a website, right? You probably don't have anything to worry about. Having a domain that does not have a business attached means you're clearly not trying to do business on someone else

Poor Uzi Nissan. They should have just offered him $1 million and bought it from him. Years of stress, courts, and lawyers fees. On the other hand, "MikeRoweSoft" clearly was playing on Microsoft and I can see why he lost that bat

Just to be clear, domain squatting has a definition. The fact that a domain you want isn't currently available is not domain squatting. "What is domain squatting? This is the practicing of buying a domain name for the sole purpose

I would say "no". Or ignore it. Don't ask for money. Being seen as "domain squatting" them will work against you in a tribunal.

If I can take a guess... Recruiters are over-excited sometimes. The recruiter told you that you passed. The recruiter told you that you should expect an offer. The recruiter asked for and checked your references. The hiring manager may have

It's an interesting case to be sure. McDonald's Franchisees are independent business owners. McDonald's is refusing to fix a problem, and has pushed a potential fix for the problem "out of business". Not sure what t

If you go by that metric, taxes will never be enough. You could tax a billionaire 99.9% and they'll still have enough. And it wouldn't be fair. And it would destroy the economy in the long term.

Generally, people are judged based on the "facts of the case". If I stole an iPhone from the Apple Store, you can call me a thief and demand I spend 6 months in jail. But if a single mother stole a loaf of bread from a store beca

According to TIBOE, Rust has 0.54% adoption. The 29th most popular programming language. So perhaps there's something to the argument that the difficulty of the language paradigm affects adoption.

It's also ridiculous to say they "don't pay taxes" when in fact they do pay taxes. Bezos has already sold at least $15 billion in Amazon stock over the past 2 years. All taxable. Musk has a $15 billion tax bill that we k

Microsoft acquired Skype more than 10 years ago... Surely they screwed up the massive lead in the space that Skype had, but I can't say they "EEE"'d it. It was just badly run.

The trucks were acting as a buffer, if you believe the CEO of Flexport. So if you increase the buffer size, then the trucks can be trucks again and it's guaranteed to increase truck loadings per hour.

No, because Tether can issue it's own coins to pay for it. Like trying to fine the US Government.
