Would it be that hard to build some cost overrun plans? If threshold (x) hit then do: - Email me - Stop Servers XYZ - Leave Servers ABC running. If threshold (y) hit then do: - Email me / Call me - Shut everything down.

Aren't these all issues that car rental agencies have? Somehow they turn a profit on renting you a car for $80/day which I imagine is less than a tax takes in for fares per day.

I think a key difference is the level of access. Sending a letter once a month, seems like a reasonable connection to have with someone who lives many miles away. However in today's hyper connected world, you have Facebook, Instagram,

Wouldn't this be super easy to crack down on? The umpires have the ability to throw players out of the game.

It almost seems like their goal is to tank Freenode as fast as possible.

I mean we're in the middle of a pandemic right now, but with my WFH life currently I leave my house once a week to pick up groceries. (Where I pop the trunk and they put them in) I feel like it's really easy for people to not get

Personally I've always prefered 360 over whatever the hell I have. Non-technical people reviewing your performance without knowing what you actually do.

I sometimes wonder if there is a market for paid browsers. As in software you pay for. I know it used to be a thing many moons ago, however I think I'd pay $20 or whatever to have a good browser that doesn't have anyone besides it

Yes, for the rest of your life. Edit: As a random google you can get items like this which combine the wedding band with the engagement ring: https://www.kay.com/diamond-bridal-set-18-ct-tw-roundcut-10k...

Yeah, I just enjoy the logic of: "How dare you spend what at the end of the day is a trivial amount of money on something that your significant other appreciates and enjoys. You should be eating soylent green and living in a 400 square

>I wonder if your literal children would feel like that if you'd taken the same money for a ring that will (presuming you proceed with marriage) pretty much never get worn, and invested it in an index fund until their 21st birthday.

Perhaps mimetism. Do you lump say all fashion under that category as well? I think there is an unofficial "pecking order" of society. People treat you differently if you roll up in a new Mercedes vs a new Honda. If your purse is a

Yeah, I'm not understanding a lot of the sentiment here. I suppose if you're a fresh grad, or not making a ton of money. However if an engagement ring's cost is some barrier to getting married... perhaps you're too young

Thanks, just disabled this on my tiny near zero traffic sites. Hopefully if enough people disable it, it will become useless.

Uhh those seem like two really small loopholes. Buying the whole company makes sense. What is the alternative, the purchasing company has to accept that they'll purge all user accounts? Law enforcement.. What do you want them to do? Tu

However that fixed rate is only for normally 5 years. Not like the USA's 30 year fixed rate.

How is it extortion? If you need 1 resource in the whole world, the supply is 1. If your demand is great then you get to pay the price. This person left the company, and documented everything. What should they do, come in and save the day f

I've yet to meet anyone who thinks UBI is bad for the poor people. However I've heard no one explain how it can be effectively paid for. Everytime there is this massive hand waving of laying off x thousands of civil servants, whic

I'd think so given the number of Government Contracts. Looks like this includes things like Colt Canada which is the provider of small arms to the armed forces. C7, C8 etc.

Which to me is bad. They should run a service like Tor does to get private bridges. I don't know anyone in Iran but I have a server I could use for this. However I know zero people in Iran.

Wills, marriage certificates, birth certificates, etc etc. All replaceable sure, however you almost never need to use them and if your home burns down you're going to hate that extra pain in the ass after the fact. I'm sure I coul

Odd, I find they're the best. Hold $5k in your chequing account and _everything_ is free! Even got myself a safe deposit box. BMO has something similar but it's $6,000. The rest (last time I checked) didn't really offer somet
