    Can you perform the same model/garment fit with an uploaded model image? If so this would be revolutionary in reducing returns of online garment shopping. To see how a garment stre…

    To add to this I would like to say that if you do reach out to candidates be cognizant of the fact that you interrupted their life with this solicitation so be sure you provide all…

    > The difference is often less than a penny. But it adds up for larger trades. Schwab, for instance, says that for orders of 500 to 1,999 shares of S&P 500 companies, the average s…

    We have an EM who took on grunt work (but critical) so the team could focus on tasks on the charter of the team. Personally I really appreciated that because otherwise the team wou…

    If a tree falls in the forest does it make a sound if no one's around to see it or hear it fall? That seems to be Google's logic for not disclosing this.

    The feedback might have been good but the tone of those comments had hint of snark. Considering the product is to help you remove negative sentiment from your responses I would say…

    This comment and the one above it in the thread are perfect examples of use cases of "Should I send it?"

    That is genuinely funny!! Might be an accurate estimate too!

    Why not just emit the sound when going below a certain speed AND ONLY IF there are pedestrians closer than a certain distance? That would be more expensive for sure but doesn't cau…

    The cup example was to show that people are dumb enough to sue a cafe because they got burned by hot coffee. It's an example of overreaction. Instead of thinking "I ordered a hot c…

    You have to beware of overreaction to the bad investment. Generally folks are not savvy investors. Just look at the large number of small investors in the stock markets. When greed…

    You should watch the episode of Black Mirror where a game developer creates a horror game with a neural link causing the gamer to "see" and "feel" things that aren't there. It goes…

    What wording did you change? I don't see any mention that you will be storing my email address?

    Does LinkedIn have a different policy regarding scraping LinkedIn pages if you are an extension vs. a crawler? I read recently that LinkedIn is fighting tooth and nail to prevent c…

    "By teaming up with COBINHOOD, together, we will launch your project to the skies and beyond." Doesn't really give the warm and fuzzies. Also why not have clickable links on your "…

    The gains only come if they exchange the ETH for USD for a profit. If they hold on to the ETH there is no gain hence no tax to be paid. Again it seems the more I read about this di…

    I'm not a fan of cryptocurrencies myself but I am trying to argue the spirit of the transaction which considered ETH as a currency. Legally I am with you 100% that the investors ar…

    I was considering ETH to be a commodity like candies. That might not be technically a fair comparison. Replace candies with another currency. GBP or Euro.

    Agreed. Like I said IF you consider ETH a currency. If you don't then that's an argument against all cryptocurrencies in general.

    No sorry if you consider ETH to be a currency and payment was made in that currency then repayment is expected in that currency. Let's say you borrow US$1000 from a friend. That $1…
