They push 10,000+ parcels like that a month, and send their shipping out to bid every year, helps to have big companies ordering tons of hardware from ya. 3 years ago they were on …

It seems by "Open Platform" they mean shoving all your data onto their chat platform, basically an open API. That definitely is not an open platform in my book, as you can't federa…

I see some of the upsides of both Slack and Gitter, but having used both I still find IRC or a Signal group much easier and more convenient overall. Perhaps its the familiarity, or…

Definitely, you should be able to get a shipping price without going into the checkout, Amazon makes it quite difficult compared to Aliexpress & eBay when it comes to finding out s…

Why do hundreds of pregnant women die every year in the US, but significantly less die in Singapore, Greece, Canada, Ireland, etc? This shouldn't be a thing, and we shouldn't be th…

Dude, you can't even buy a crackerbox in Seattle for 300k euros anymore, a 500sqft apartment has gone from 270k euros to 400k euros in the past 2 years, and that is before the 4500…

Perhaps property value is in line then if 40k euros is an inflated price, I think 110k euros in Tacoma is a price too high for that area myself, the average income down there is ar…

Free shipping is a lie, but the average consumer thinks of dealing with shipping costs separately as pesky, and Amazon & eBay have configured their fees to charge you more on any e…

So overvalued property in the current economic context combined with unprecedented (for Greece) property taxes is making home ownership a burden? Plus the maintenance costs wipe ou…

With austerity feeding on itself as it has been for many years in Greece, the rental market seems to have become flooded with properties. If your citizens have no money, and your e…

What area are you in? Compared to Seattle/Portland/San Diego prices, 40k euros seems cheap for a 1963 670sqft apt. A similar house in Tacoma would run 110k euros right now, and it …

Well, you've got this amazing compiler that just likes to change things you write, they're known as politicians :P

Its still extremely dangerous to give birth in the US when compared to Greece, our maternal death rate is 7x higher [1], on par with Iran, Hungary and Saudi Arabia. [1] - http://ww…

Not every investment will be successful either, as any person with a basic sense of business will know.

Dude, grow up. You do not have to live under govt rule, if you choose to follow an ideology that would rather see government not exist, you can and should fully adhere to your ideo…

Go live where there is no government, its great to act so infringed upon by the government in the place in which you currently reside, but you do have choices. Not saying its a ros…

Hey now, we need to get that oil out of the US and into a higher priced market ASAP, hence the need for a new pipeline and the removal of restrictions on the exportation of domesti…

That will just clog roads more, doesn't matter how much you mechanize it. Self driving cars will induce massive amounts of demand piled atop the latent demand that already exists f…

This is called induced demand, whereby something that is plentiful will be utilized since it was built. Commonly, people say "Build it and they will come!" which is all the more tr…

No, another candidate got it, he had a slightly better resume and went by the same name :P

Seeing as how Google and other major content providers have moved to peering with consumer & business ISPs directly, and bought trans-pacific fiber and built datacenters all over E…

Makes sense, its easy to end up with a mythical man month type situation.

There are a vast number of things that fit under the umbrella of tech that needs to be decentralized to give you full control over your money and information. What part of that sta…

Interesting idea, but then you are essentially forcing everyone to go through their upstream provider or Google's DNS servers, since when DDOS attacks occur, smaller networks won't…

Now, your gonna probably call me crazy, but take a bottle of cheap wine and throw it in the blender before ya drink it, failing that, a mixmaster works too. Completely changes the …
