    There will always be nation-states. Always. Put ten strangers on an island and they will organically form a hierarchy and political alliances will happen. There will never be a gov…

    Yesterday I saw a "startup" on /r/startups that was a twitter account that retweets oil prices. People are calling a twitter account a "startup" now. WTF?

    ANY merchant provider can hold funds up to 180 days for any reason in the US. It's not just paypal that does that.

    Because every single person who doesn't support file sharing could only be a payed employee of MPAA/RIAA!!

    It's like a reverse lottery. Only a handful will "win" a legal case and will get utterly crushed in the process.

    If there were more in-depth documentaries about programmers, you would probably find the same types of personalities reign supreme...emotional, introverted, weird. If you consider …

    You are saying you would hire the accuser before her case is even sorted out? Why do you assume her version of events are true, and her employer's version false? Just because you d…

    Riiiight. So I should have to scour FAQ pages and TOSs in order to disambiguate that this is an opt-out-only membership-type club with recurring charges? Go to their home page and …

    So what happens if my email account gets hacked? Won't this compromise all my accounts then?

    I don't trust any "organization" to store and manage my passwords. A single subpoena to mozilla for a divorce proceeding or whatever could unleash cascading consequences upon you.

    You are 100% wrong. The ad copy on craigslist IS copyright protected so it doesn't matter where you scraped it from. TOSs do govern the data whether or not you are viewing a cached…

    If I place an ad on craigslist, I would like to know if my ad will show up on...SanFranGayApts.net or something like that too. Where did I agree to have MY ad syndicated? Nowhere, …

    The biggest red flag that I see when it comes to fb stock is that it has single digit institutional ownership. Even yahoo has 75% institutional ownership. Fb has like 7% IO. Big mo…

    No offense, but you hardly sound like an expert to me too. Given your defensive position on fb, I'm going to go ahead and assume you own a few shares of fb (or you are contemplatin…
