SUMMARY: "we were shocked, SHOCKED, to discover that an ad with a nice picture performs better than an ad with a bad picture."

i called and asked. they keep 100% of the purchase fee.

because a startup has structured its business model to keep the vast majority of the profit it extracts from a virtual work force of independently contracted peons

ive sinced learned that ebay now would have brought me my chromebook for no additional fee. wun wun also apparently caps the transaction fee at $2.

actually they don't disclose this fee when you arrange for the original transaction. They list everything as "TBD"

so happy for elias and his team. this is a huge win for the queens tech community!

The only reason Big Tech is against the NSA now is because their most valuable customers are eyeing foreign competitors based in countries with actual privacy laws. I talk to clients all the time who want their data stored in Luxembourg or Switzerland or Iceland. MSFT, Google, FB, et al. were totally content to sell out the American public and aide the creation of a surveillance state as long as they profited from it.

Just imagine that you had more than one choice of high speed Internet provider (unlike 95% of Americans who are stuck with the one cable company that happened to successfully bribe their local municipality) and think about what would happen to this issue. Competition would force the ISPs to knock this shit off. It's a product of their entrenched geographic monopolies. Period.

Awesome! The for profit hacker schools will HATE this.

Tuition is $850. Many paid less. Some paid nothing.
