Total guess: may be if both "victims" signed off on an agreement(whether it had legal standing or not) it would make it significantly more difficult for the prosecutors to move forward with the criminal case.

His analysis can still be incorrect. For example, other legal experts may disagree with his interpretation of blah law. This is why I think more, not less, somewhat emotion-free evaluation would be helpful. If we learn the laws are far over

Do you think authorities at the state level would be more receptive than at the county level? Because I've been trying at the county and city level and after sending many victims to ring up the investigators, little has come out of it. I al

3) HIRE A LAWYER. Winning a case against him in civil court for passing a bad check is pretty much guaranteed to spawn a criminal case because you'll have handed the prosecutors their case; they won't have to redirect many resources away f

To people wondering if prosecutors have a choice, they absolutely do. I was recipient of an NSF check of over $10,000 from a guy with a history of writing bad checks(a criminal offense). It is a clear cut case with ample proof and victims.

Couple more super annoying mobile UI patterns that should die: 1. Banner ads in footer that blink every time you scroll the page. The blinking makes me go nuts when reading a longer article. It gets my attention alright but I sure don't ass

I'm not sure I agree that Apple should try to explain to the users what they did. It is really hard coming up with one message to communicate something to tens of millions of people. The end result is often confusion or panic--both of which

What you see as "Apple is remotely fiddling", my grandmother likely sees it as "Apple fixed something for me" (if she were to become aware of what they did). Don't assume your perspective or belief is shared by vast majority of users.

Sounds a lot like Charlie Munger's philosophy that he likes to invest in few businesses that let him sit back and relax for a long time instead of constantly having to worry about getting out of a position at a profit.

that successful apps often provide a new kind of data structure, that makes them suitable for many purposes And I'd argue that that is also a major reason when apps fail: they force people to change their existing ways of thinking and are

A. Is this something you can work out? Stop right here and define "this" and think about it from many different perspectives. One of the biggest challenges with founder issues from my personal experience and from talking with other founde

Many of the comments here hating on the idea of management teams highlight how blinded we can be as a community. While it may be cool for startups to hate on BigCos, almost all start-up founders aspire at varying degrees to become the very

Unfortunately you are using a definition that is not shared by most people when judging business success in the long haul. It is okay to have your own metrics but it is disingenuous to suggest that your metrics are also the metrics generall

The word sorry has multiple meanings, including: regrettable or deplorable; unfortunate; sympathy It does not automatically mean to be an apology. In these cases, I am pretty sure users don't see it as one either. I always saw it as mor

Great question but dont assume speed of unlocking is what everyone based their decision on. I can tell you my mom would rather use facial recognition than entering a pin even if the latter was faster. She did point out quirks like if her ha

Apple is increasingly making me look stupid, something I couldn't imagine happening when the iPhone first came out. Few days ago I saw a friend of mine unlock her phone using facial recognition. I was amazed. She was surprised at my amazeme

When a huge percentage of your supposed new design is covered with stock photos of pretty people, it makes it extremely hard to judge objectively . On the other hand, that is a great sales tactic. I always felt it is kind of wrong for desi

Exactly. No one is denying this isn't a terrible thing. I don't think we have to convince Simple that this can't be happening. And I don't think one major downtime is reason enough to call for their heads as several of the comments imply. A

You can't build financial software the same way that you build some CRUD site or the latest social fad. No one is arguing that you should be able to do that. And it is kind of insulting to imply that that is how the folks at Simple look a
