You'd pay for speed-ups that come from reworking algorithms to make them more efficient, but how do you avoid someone adding wait loops in strategic places and then selling you the software again after taking them out? IBM sells you an

Why did you create a profile? If you don't want to connect with your professional network, if you don't care who looked at your profile (and are even spooked about it), if you (likely) don't use it to find people... What do y

How should anybody know, from an email address alone, if the owner is alive?

How is growing their user base not making the experience better? Most people use LinkedIn to find people, no?

Although the basic idea sounds great, I can't help but think this is a scam. I watched the video and bolted out in disgust. Starting with irrelevant video footage: big-city homelessness and world hunger are different problems; a health

Hmm. No offense, but that looks like somthing my 12 year-old son would use. I can't be seen with that! :)

Answered elsewhere but the Coin is not a good idea for reasons also answered elsewhere (merchants wouldn't take it, your account could be flagged, etc).

I love the idea behind Coin but what I need is a fat wallet. I carry 19 cards, of which 16 are essential. Some of them are not for swiping so they wouldn't benefit from Coin. The solution for me is a wallet that can hold 20 to 30 cards

You could look it up by yourself, but here's the gist of it: the flight attendant's top priority is your safety, not your happiness or comfort. They are trained in emergency procedures and if at all possible they will be the ones

I think of flight attendants as firemen (or firewomen) serving us drinks and food. Because that's what they are. They will be the ones saving your ass if the situation comes to that.

That's precisely what LinkedIn is for.

The disinformation in this one is strong. It's not illegal nor hard to get money from ATMs.

The Cedin trades for official dollars... How is that better than selling bitcoins?

I agree with some of the liberties they took, for example the ISS, the shuttle+hubble and a chinese space station being next to each other, but I'm not so sure about staying in micro-gravity during acceleration phases. Was it because t

Banks do use email for that and for everything else if you told them to do so because you care for the environment.

"This is your bank/IRS. There's a problem with you account/taxes. If you don't respond by date X we'll close/fine your account/you. This is the only notice you will get."

I can't help but think that they agreed to word this so similarly as a way to hint that the words have been put in their mouths. It's like what somebody that's being held hostage would do to make you understand that they can&

Well, these are the four constants: 0, 1, i, e and tau. Yes, that really is four constants.

Hmm, but video takes much more bandwidth and having communication problems is the last thing you want during an interview. Also, does this have sound? Would be pretty useless without sound.

Doesn't work for me. The language selector seems to change on its own, the right pane never finishes "Loading...", the feedback button opens a blank page. Also, the start page shows that the right pane is for the camera view of the particip

I added the "seriously though" to clarify the obvious joke. Sorry you took it seriously, though.

Thanks, I might try them as they are not in-ear (which is what I can't stand). Chemical help for sleeping while sitting is still needed though, not that I mind.

In-ear plugs don't work for me, I can't even stand the soft squishy ones for 30 seconds. Given that I also can't sleep while sitting and I can't afford (and my company won't pay) business seats, I have to resort to pills. So the solution fo

I'm with you. But my Bose headphones cancel best the kind of sound that is easily ignored. Typing and talking go right through and even become more prominent against the quieter background. I found that full isolation can only be achieved b
