2. I used to work in the gaming industry too (not slots). If you're on the other side you just realize in the long run gambling is a losing proposition so you won't be pursuing the…

They already exist.

Pretty much this. This story is a bit click-baity with the details summarized as a comedy of errors. I love Matier and Ross as much as anyone else, but they really should have dove…

You can't claim resource exhaustion when they took the case to trial and lost at verdict.

Is there anytime similar about the 1-2.5% fee merchants have to pay to utilize this service? I'd bet Visa, MasterCard, and AMEX are making a fortune off all these transactions.

Second this,, why would any who uses Uber take into account the internal turmoil happening within the company when they decide to use the app or not? The costs of Uber going up or …

Why does the government even pay companies to manage and rehabilitate student loans? Even if a student defaults on said debt, that debt is practically impossible to discharge even …

Oh damn, then it's just opening short/long term trading to a new segment of people that wouldn't otherwise do it. That's like 100% casino/poker bonuses during the poker boom.

What's the long play then? Surely Robin Hood isn't absorbing the the transaction fees as a loss leader just to increase it's user base? If that's the play, any other company can em…

A friend of mine accidentally pushed his Heroku or New Relic API key to a toy repo which was public and that information was immediately scraped and used. He was billed a non trivi…

Hi All, I need help finding a monitor setup for coding and home use. I haven't had a monitor in years and don't know what's good quality wise versus what's the most bang for the bu…

Follow the money. The FBI investigation against Shrimp Boy ensnared State Senator Leland Yee and almost San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee. Leland Yee was nailed on multiple charges includ…

As a former CAL student, I am saddened to read about this. I didn't have to take Math 1A or any math course for that matter, but I did have to take an AC course per University requ…

Venmo: You're SOL pal.

+ 1 - They let and would let as many students live on site free of charge in the most expensive rental market in the US. I am certain all students from out of town or out of state …

I wouldn't say they are selling shovels. They could easily charge an upfront free and eliminate the risk of a student not finding a job or not paying upon placement. Changing that …

As an App Academy grad, I'm sorry about your experience. I am unaware of a/A charging $18,000 due to your age, or your lack of a college dree, or both. I know several students in m…
