Because some companies make it very difficult to cancel out of a contract, like sitting for hours on the phone to speak to a retention specialist who accidentally hangs up the phone.

A lot easier to just stop the payments and stop using the service. 99.99% of companies are not going to sue you over a few hundred dollars for a service you're not even using.
So, if I understand this correctly, I'll get emails with problems that people are having, so that presumably I'll be able to decide if I can build some solutions for them.

Is this right? Kind of like "hey!, I sure can make an app for this person's problem, I'll get in touch so I can ask him how much is he willing to pay for it"? or am I way off here?

A lot of people are demanding it. Heck, some countries like Canada are actively passing things like carbon taxes.

But when a large portion of the populace (and thus elected officials) doesn't believe there's a problem in the first place, it's a little tough to take collective action, which brings us back to the original point.
This comment [0] claims that under the Jay Treaty [1] you're essentially given a free pass at "the border". But according to Wikipedia and this article [2], at best this only applies to the Canadian border. If this claims are true, I'm surprised that the EFF & ACLU aren't educating everyone about this exemption.

CBP have deported US citizens in the past. 'Accidentally,' of course. Fun fact: if you are mistakenly placed in immigration detention, you're not automatically entitled to a hearing until 6 months have passed, so you'd better hope someone knows to file a habeas petition on your behalf.

In fact you're not automatically entitled to a hearing at all, but that was the working compromise established last time this ended up in court. Given the new administration's adversarial posture towards the judicial branch on the question of immigration reviewability, this is likely to change for the worse.

So if they come to John Doe's house with a warrant and he just sits passively on his couch while they legally enter, he has broken the law? This page[0] (ctrl+f "You do not have to assist law enforcement when they are conducting their search.") seems to suggest that a warrant does not require you to assist them, though I don't understand the scope of that; whether it's assisting them in executing the warrant or what.

Co-ops would be a great idea, if it weren't for the fact that they have to balance automation with caring for the workers, which is highly inefficient for making profit, which is necessary to survive in a capitalist ecosystem.

Paying wages (and fair ones at that) along with trying to match the efficiency of those who (i) use extensive automation, at the expense of worker employment and (ii) purchase extremely cheap labour time (sweatshops, places where labour laws aren't as strict etc.) is almost untenable.

It can be done, but it's extremely hard to get done successfully, and it does not solve the societal problem of worker exploitation and reckless abandon for the environment.

There are several ways to utilise TrueCrypt to truly hide data.
The issue is "operational security", not the tool you use. You need to think about how the data is stored, what it will look like whilst encrypted, how will you handle that under questioning. "yes my drive is fully encrypted, get stuffed" will not suffice. It'd be nice, but the reality is that you will be required to bow down in digital obeyance to the court/man/gov
The problem with the efficiency gap is that relies on voter patterns, but voter patterns are affected by gerrymandering.

So if you know that your vote is unlikely to affect the outcome, then you won't vote, which distorts the efficiency gap metric. In other words, it incentivizes districts that are so partisan that they discourage the opposition to vote.

In contrast, the compactness metric [0] only relies on census data and ignores voting patterns, party membership, or other metrics. Though this has downsides, at the very least it avoids the feedback loop of the efficiency gap.

It's worthwhile looking at Cuba as a model. I am not saying that we should mimic their model nor am I claiming that they enjoyed complete and total sufficiency, but there is a certain lesson there about sustainable systems.

Also..if we are to prepare to colonize space or think about creating closed loop living systems, we will have to start thinking about those models anyways.

People see "Trump" and automatically downvote you on here. It's insane! If anyone would do something positive for our indvidual privacy it would be Trump because here's the thing: Unlike other politicians, Trump is a man who would listen to a compelling argument. He's a political neophyte, but I truly believe he is trying to act in the best interest of the people. It's really the media's fault that his populism is not coming through--all the media has done is divide us. There are bright people in the Trump Administration and they are doing their best to fix America. He will enforce the laws and work to repeal the ones that are stupid if we ask him to.

I've always been confused by this proposition; If there is an innocent person convicted of a crime, then there also has to be a guilty person that has gone free.. so it seems the ultimatum has to be

This would be great news indeed if AMD finally had a competitive high-end chip again. It feels like Intel has just been coasting on their success for a long time, since there was no competitive pressure from the outside they also had little incentive to add more cores/lower prices/take some engineering risks.

The CPU market could become a lot more interesting again after all this time.
You are right. It's frustrating how often I see a good idea (like mandatory parental leave) being a thing for women instead of a thing for people in general.

I wish I could point out the problems with this identity-focused marketing. If I did so in public, using my real identity, I would be fired, or at least receive very harsh feedback. It is depressing to be unable to speak up for my own interests.
While the idea might be interesting to some, you need a lot of work on messaging and UI.

personally I won't ever use it because fuck real time video if I don't even know you. Even though some people are into it, I definitely prefer the flow of text messaging for online interactions.

-That being said (I'm not your target audience, so what?) you should definitely remove the 0 users online, bit. drop that until you have consistently at least 1000+ people online at any given time.

-The colors have to go,

-the "have fun... redirecting you" has to go (surprisingly that was pretty creepy),

-facebook only sign in, meh whatever. I won't use it if its facebook only but again, you shouldn't care about that.

-no ssl? and you want my personal info? fix that asap.

-your call to action is the same color as the rest of your page, you barely see it.

-I have NO idea wtf is happening at 19h-23h eastern time.

-and finally, ditch the WSOP bracelet, why would that be relevant to a dating site?

Go look at tinder, match, eharmony and any other site's home page and see what they are doing. Look at their call to actions, look at what they do to draw you in, etc. And of course, good luck!
It depends. I had a very mild stroke at the end of last year.

I was extremely lucky. The only lasting damage is occasional slight facial tingling and a hint of numbness in one arm. For a few months I had unusual bouts of extreme fatigue, but those seem to be fading now.

Otherwise I'm fully functional. Memory, speech, and mobility all seem fine.

I'm definitely much much luckier than some of the people I saw on my very brief stay on the stroke ward. One person had been on the ward for literally a year. A stay of a few months for regular rehabilitation sessions isn't unusual. (I got pretty angry that strokes happen at all. They can be so damaging that it seems unusually cruel for humans to live in a reality where that kind of handicap/illness is even possible.)

Practically, strokes are somewhat random. There are some risk factors - cholesterol, heart arrhythmias, smoking, alcohol, stress, high blood pressure - but you can be low risk and still suffer the effects of a loose clot.

In fact you can have a series of very minor ischaemic events and not even notice. They'll show up on an MRI, but you may not have any obvious symptoms at all.
The next step up from those CPUs really is going to be dual xeon boxes, which is a huge jump.

Seems to me that most people either believe that their government is the good guy and always will be or they are comfortable enough in their lives and current security that they don't feel motivated to make a fuss.
Well there's this guy:

Instead of communicating with the employees they just kind of forgot about them.

And this guy:

> "Even before production stopped, I didn't get my salary for six months."

The company wasn't paying the employees, of course it's impossible to know what was said but you wouldn't think that he'd be waiting around for six months unpaid if they weren't telling him it was coming.
As an average-looking man from an average family, if I want to attract a woman I need to be successful. The more successful I become, the higher quality of woman I can get.

For a woman, extra career success will not boost her attractiveness in the same way it will for me.

This is a huge incentive. If women don't have the same incentives to work hard as men, how can they achieve the same level of success?

The utility of building on the green belt is questionable. The London green belt is so far away from the city center that you'd be better of living in Birmigham and taking the train than trying to get in from there. The UK's biggest issue that the government housing stopped being built in the early 1980s and the number of privately built housing never increased. There has been a deficit of 200,000 housing units a year for over 30 years. Even now almost all housing that is built is built for the top end of the market and will do nothing to bring housing prices down.
It may not be the entire picture, but certainly we have obesity stats for millions of children in Asia.
> But in some circumstances it's not necessarily that the consumer is trying to cut time and effort.

No, that's still cutting time and effort. Okay you want something spur of the moment. Your option is to buy it and then go home and slice it, buy it pre-sliced, or don't buy it at all. That is still a choice of convenience vs payment. You're not being forced to buy the mango.
Maybe they follow the "make it worse, then make it better" approach to user experience.

Even if the end design is objectively worse than the previous/current one, it will feel better compared to the intermediate versions. That might make the users actually complain less in the end.

Posted on Reddit twice, (first initial spike once I finished it, second spike when I added more of the cases.) That's about the extent. Got me all the Google-juice I need to ride it out.

Total work probably around... 40 hours, at most. I stopped supporting it in 2014. HTML + Canvas. Used images hosted by VALVe instead of hosting my own. Never had the motivation to make it better. Hosting was provided for free by a friend.

Was at the top of Google for a while. Got knocked down by a much more active developer (which is monetized even better than mine.) I only display 1 banner ad instead of an aggressive 3. I didn't improve it at all since then. However, I feel I had a technical advantage over the Flash-based competitor, as mine ran great on mobile. I assume the competitor has since improved that aspect of theirs.

I get ~$100 payout every 4 months now (~$25 per month)

Spikes in January 2015 and Sept 2015 coincide with new CS:GO game updates. They added new cases to the game, which I never got around to implementing in the simulator. No doubt missed opportunities.

Things I could've done better:

- Actually keep working on it. (New cases, new features, better backend, trade-up simulator)

- Better monetization (Only 1 banner ad, when Google allows 3 on one page)

What went right:

- First person on the playing field. (Still was delayed, since cases were released in Aug 2013 and I released it on March 2014)

On the subject of the others: They're just aggregating data about the game. You can start with the smallest, easiest bit and slowly build up from it.

For Wowhead it was: Aggregate item data. Then quests. Then zones w/ maps. Resource spawn points. Raid information and guides. Etc. etc. They were one of the first information providers for World of Warcraft and then they got acquired by Curse.

In the case of the Ark calculator, it started as: "This algorithm in the game is mysterious to players, I'll recreate it in the browser." Then they added stuff like "this Dino destroys X stuff", "this Dino can do Y"

Well, what makes a crime is a law stating that such-and-so action is a crime, so I suppose I'd say that, since a legislative body classifies an action as a crime, it is pretty much by definition exactly that. We're discussing whether this specific action should be a crime, which is a separate conversation altogether, and one I think best carried out without reference to some sort of nebulous Platonic ideal of crime, to which you seem implicitly to appeal.

You're also underplaying your hand here somewhat, I think - either that, or you find your own arguments unconvincing. You've already conceded, in your concept of "indirect harm" (still harm, but less so?) and the weaksauce relative-injury argument which constitutes your last paragraph, that the distribution of child pornography does inflict ongoing harm on those abused in order to produce it - but you don't think that that harm suffices to justify the injury inflicted upon those who engage in such distribution, but not such production, in the course of being convicted of and punished for that crime. That the former are innocent, and the latter are not, seems not to move you; your concern appears instead to be purely utilitarian.

I don't suppose it would be surprising if you were indeed unconvinced of this - it strikes me as a very difficult position to defend! But I'd be interested to see whether and how you do so, nonetheless. Or perhaps I've misgathered your point?
I'm afraid I am not familiar with them, but I've never pretended to be other than a rather poor Christian. Perhaps you will do me the kindness of citing them, so that I may improve my ability to live up to my faith.

"since a 7-inch 45 RPM record (the standard "single") had a recording capacity of about 5 minutes per side.[1]"

[1] also says:

"Since the grooves are so spaced out and the records spin so fast, a standard 10-inch 78 can't hold more than about 3 minutes of music per side"

=> That 3 minute norm may predate the popularity of the 45 RPM single.
> As an average-looking man from an average family, if I want to attract a woman I need to be successful. The more successful I become, the higher quality of woman I can get.

be careful with this line of thinking.

if all you're looking to do is attract a mate with all that money, you're better off investing that time into acting lessons, music lessons, and athletic training.

or you might find out the hard way that being a charismatic, guitar-playing tri-athlete is going to land you a higher quality and more loyal mate than $10 million in the bank ever will.
But what about its effect on recruiting and retention? For most law firms those are both huge issues -- and in many cases much more important than the two factors you mentioned.
