i was banned from Llyft and never given a reason except that "we take safety seriously". i remember always being an upstanding rider, but may have been a bit light in the tip category. tried to contact the company to see why i was banned but have been stonewalled. hopefully they don't start banning poor people, or some other group just because.

wish they would provided more transparency and have contacted the utilities commission in my state to share my concern.

what about those practicing utilitarian ethics?

is this an offer to sell a security?

can you clarify what you mean by in the red? presumably a lot of their expenses are related to R&D and marketing, which once cut would probably leave a profitable company.

also, here in denver, most uber drivers are also lyft drivers. i.e. drivers keep both apps running to increase their chances of getting a request.

lyft is dirtier

what does the article have to do with bitcoin? or 'bitcoin infringement lawsuit'?

every time i see a service promising privacy i laugh. no company can guarantee privacy, and most companies don't know what they don't know.

isn't it possible they received the money from the state with the understanding that a portion of it would be invested in startups of which they were owners?

hmm, whenever anyone calls my character into question i'm ready to fight to the death. The below is not that...

"I spoke with my lawyer, and she thinks I have a clear case to sue this woman for libel and get a restraining order, but I have no desire to bully or harm her. Additionally, I’m not wild about the precedent that sets for other women to come forward in cases of actual sexual assault."

the real issue is that most telcos will hand over whatever information the govs seek. even if the information is inadmissible (which i'm not sure it is), the govs would have all the info they need to put together a case.

what is an LPA?

if i buy $1 worth of bitcoin today and the price of bitcoin appreciates to $10 per bitcoin, i'm now wealthier and won't have to pay taxes as long as i transact in bitcoin. for example, i can probably now by 10 cups of coffees instead of one as long as i can pay for the coffees in bitcoin.

who will the settlement be with? i.e. who will get the monies?

could not you have a one person militia?

no one wants your regulation. people took a risk with their money and they lost. they were affected, i wasnt. good for me, time to move on. no need to waste everyone's time and tax dollars coming up with regulations, etc.

please don't rebut with a public good argument.

xbt is not untraceable

the best part of the interview is when she says she used a team of investigators similar to the CIA, and then goes onto thank only 2 people for their work. hilarious.

he means for signing in after you've registered.

it's misleading regardless because prices is plural in "Bitcoin Exchange Prices"

what if one of his buddies had hijacked his account as a joke?

Can you prove this?

i went through the airport yesterday on my way to watch the Broncos win the super bowl. TSA had a new procedure which required travelers to touch a screen and give up their fingerprints then get their hands swabbed in order to collect DNA. later in the procedure travelers are asked to show their ids, which are then placed under 'infrared' scanners. given all the recent discussion about the pseudo anonymity of our interactions with various software services i found this to be more almost as intrusive as body scans. essentially, the tsa could be doing the following:

1. touch screen so we have a fingerprint 2. touch again if it didn't work the first time so we potentially have 2 fingerprints 3. swab finger for DNA sample that we'll link to step 1 and/or 2 4. place id under scanner which we'll link to steps 1-3 5. triangulate all these data points over many years until the TSA has a complete database with everyone's unique identifying info...

Please elaborate

do most companies purchase ipads for employees when they're cash flow negative?

i'm 100% against the 'war' on drugs. but a part of me is glad we have it so something worse doesn't take its place.

Yes, I use gmail.

This is what i was thinking too. Will have to review their terms of service to see if this is allowed.

Sounds like the 2000 US elections...
