Also, thanks to lobbying from me. If I buy tickets to something and later find out I can't attend, I want to be able to give or sell those tickets to a friend.
That's already the case you inbred hick.
Congratulations. This is the stupidest fucking comment I've read on HN all day.
Make each record one byte long.
Honestly, it shouldn't even be legal to eat anything other than broccoli and chicken breast. Everything is filled with fat and sugar and just drags our healthcare system down.
That website you linked to is bizarre. You claim they donate to "some not-that-great people" then link to website showing they donate to a lot of great people. Were you trying to undermine yourself or did you…

The comment you're replying to proves that Apple gives them way more than a little.
The paid an effective tax rate of 25% over the last 9 months. Also, I fail to see how it would diminish the achievement even if they weren't paying taxes. $1 trillion is extraordinarily valuable. There is zero chance…

Android won't be free if this fine withstands appeal. No company is going to suffer billion dollars fines to give away free software. Google will have no choice but start charging OEMs to use android, and OEMs will have…
The EU is beyond corrupt. The European commission under its current leadership hasn't issued a fine on this scale to a single European company, but has somehow managed to extract billions of dollars from Google, Apple,…
If you add up all that money, most people could save $100+ per month. Add in an employer match for 401k and you're saving $200 per month. With 5% real return in the stock market, most people could have $400k saved up by…
With the money they use to go to bars, pay for netflix, eat out at restaurants, go to concerts, buy video games, etcetera etcetera. Almost every person who claims to have no money to invest actually has plenty of money;…
