2. I used to work in the gaming industry too (not slots). If you're on the other side you just realize in the long run gambling is a losing proposition so you won't be pursuing the activity as hard. Also that job is a consistent s

Pretty much this. This story is a bit click-baity with the details summarized as a comedy of errors. I love Matier and Ross as much as anyone else, but they really should have dove into this more. It's absurdly silly if SF had no conta

You can't claim resource exhaustion when they took the case to trial and lost at verdict.

Is there anytime similar about the 1-2.5% fee merchants have to pay to utilize this service? I'd bet Visa, MasterCard, and AMEX are making a fortune off all these transactions.

Second this,, why would any who uses Uber take into account the internal turmoil happening within the company when they decide to use the app or not? The costs of Uber going up or decrease in availability of drivers should matter more. Driv

Why does the government even pay companies to manage and rehabilitate student loans? Even if a student defaults on said debt, that debt is practically impossible to discharge even if you file for bankruptcy.

Oh damn, then it's just opening short/long term trading to a new segment of people that wouldn't otherwise do it. That's like 100% casino/poker bonuses during the poker boom.

What's the long play then? Surely Robin Hood isn't absorbing the the transaction fees as a loss leader just to increase it's user base? If that's the play, any other company can emulate that.. The incentive seems to be t

A friend of mine accidentally pushed his Heroku or New Relic API key to a toy repo which was public and that information was immediately scraped and used. He was billed a non trivial about which he disputed but cost some time and headache.

This makes no sense. Are you telling me high school teachers and counselors are telling students to go to colleges without factoring in costs/financial aid packages/ROI?

I think this is less an argument for how much skill is involved in DFS - there is, but how slim the chances are for recreation players to win against the pros. This seems like a scam for recs who stand no chance.

I have to disagree. I am not too familiar with the world of DFS, but I am with online poker. I understand many heavy hitters from poker transitioned into DFS a few years ago. There clearly is a need for better information, tools, and softwa

Follow the money. The FBI investigation against Shrimp Boy ensnared State Senator Leland Yee and almost San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee. Leland Yee was nailed on multiple charges including gun running through Wilson Lim via the Philippines. Read

As a former CAL student, I am saddened to read about this. I didn't have to take Math 1A or any math course for that matter, but I did have to take an AC course per University requirements. I wasn't looking forward to it. I ended

+ 1 - They let and would let as many students live on site free of charge in the most expensive rental market in the US. I am certain all students from out of town or out of state are forever grateful for just this. Rent in SF/SOMA can

I wouldn't say they are selling shovels. They could easily charge an upfront free and eliminate the risk of a student not finding a job or not paying upon placement. Changing that model, however, would have been cost prohibitive for me

As an App Academy grad, I'm sorry about your experience. I am unaware of a/A charging $18,000 due to your age, or your lack of a college dree, or both. I know several students in my cohort didn't have a formal degree. Also th
