Are you suggesting its legal for corporate intersts to kill people in Singapore (or anywhere)? Think we'll need a citation for that...

Can you give some examples of legal financial crimes? Not saying you're wrong, I've just never heard that. I know they are a tax haven and have lax financial controls, but the "victims" of that are the tax man in foreign governments.

If the men in power decided the death needs to be covered up, that is exactly evidence of corruption - it's just high-level corruption and not low-level. Mexico is an example of a country with a lot of low-level corruption (you can bribe th

While these aren't good, they don't refute the commonly held belief that Singapore is essentially free from corruption. Human rights is another issue and on this they do very badly. They are among the worst places in the World to get arrest

Ah, I didn't click that. You are correct. Opening questions from their feed brings up obscured answers.

by wilfra 14y ago
Try clicking around. They still obscure answers that aren't the top answer, though you're right there is a fair amount of content visible.

I don't care if the Google bots can read what I write, I care about clients, family members etc who Google me. If they REALLY want to read my answers, they can create an account. Most people wont bother though.

As a long-time Quora user I actually like this and it is one of the main reasons I share so freely on Quora. If I knew anybody could read anything I write via a Google search, I would be much more guarded - and if they suddenly stopped this

Not really. They are both good. Just stay away from WildWestDomains (GoDaddy).

Checkout enom and tucows for selling domains. It's fairly straightforward to get setup as a reseller and start using their API's to sell domains white label on your site. My email is in my profile if you have any questions. I'm an enom rese

After decades of new products always selling out quickly, you'd think they'd be able to get their supply chain in order, but alas, the next iPhone and iPad will both be "sold out" within days. It's a very clever and effective marketing stra

They learned from Apple to artificially limit supply so they sell out quickly, thus increasing demand in the long run. Not much else to see here.

Don't think you understand the definition of trolling. This isn't trolling. It's either a marketing ploy or an oversight, but neither is designed to make you angry and get you to post disparaging things on your blog or elsewhere, which is w

This is what mockup software is for i.e. Balsamiq. Once you have what you want there, then you go to Photoshop. Then export your pretty images, insert them into Balsamiq and keep tweaking.

I've found it is rare that I ever re-read my notes, no matter how much I might think I'll want to when I'm making them. This can be an idea or a long-term to-do list or the outline of a blog post, whatever. If I don't use it immediately aft

Can anybody please give me quick install instructions? There is no readme and I'm unfamiliar with how to add a Chrome extension based on a Github repo.

I always wonder this whenever companies shut down. Somebody would surely be willing to pay for all of their code, users etc. Why not let it live on and see if somebody else could be a better steward? I know I'd be willing to give it a shot.

Clever hack. These have popped up regularly in the media over the last year or two. Texas is another popular spot, given their laws and abundance of foreclosures. It is a requirement that they maintain the property and make improvements whi

Occupying the property does not mean staying there 24/7. Sleeping there most nights and going to work during the day etc is still occupancy.

The active Quora userbase loves the product and are not at all looking for somebody to build something better - that is usually a prerequisite to an incumbent getting beat.

Agreed. Like Facebook, it's a great product created by people who have made some questionable privacy decisions. However whenever Facebook is discussed on HN 95% of the comments are not negative. I'm not saying Quora is perfect and above cr

Every platform has things about it which are not perfect and every startup makes mistakes. Many on HN seem to be either completely unaware of or purposely ignore all of the other amazing things about Quora, and that's a shame.

Really don't get all the Quora hate on HN. I usually agree with HN on things but on this I'm the polar opposite. I love Quora (and HN).

Those tools present their own problems but they aren't bots. Bots are making decisions and acting on them, not simply providing additional information for players to incorporate into their decisions.

Those bots have gotten significantly better the last few years. I would say the best bots today are beating nearly all of the recreational players and even the lower rungs of professional players - but the very best players can still beat t
