I wouldn't want to hold any Internet-based stocks for "decades". I believe the life span of any public company to be 25 years or less, with Internet service companies being significantly less.

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 government-less world as long as we're human.

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?

ZNGA hasn't even been public for a year, yet their equity is now at an 80% discount from it's initial price. Not looking good at all.

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

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 yourself "normal" & "emotionally stable", then you proba

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 don't get the promotion you feel entitled to, doesn't mean yo

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 tell me it doesn't look like another zappos. Does zappos con

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.

But how much money does a poker player burn through before he/she is "good enough" to play in big tournaments and win decent money? A couple hundred thousand? A couple million? It's like when someone wants to trade stocks/derivatives. They

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 copy or not. By your logic all TOSs are rendered useless if

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, that's where. And why would ad copy not by copyrightable? I

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 money is staying away from fb and that is a huuuuge red flag.

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 contemplating buying) and it pisses you off to see anyone say anything n
