It's probably in the Privacy Policy they just emailed about.

>I received a confirmation that said, “Your personal information and items associated with your account have now been deleted. This action is permanent and cannot be reversed.”

By the same logic, wasn't this first email self-contradicting? If your data is gone, how are they emailing you to tell you that your data is gone?

But really, aren't companies legally required to retain a lot of information anyway? Such as invoices needed for tax purposes?

This is addressed directly in the article:

>And for those who might be quick to point out that there could be a dearth of jobs there, note that when people say “there are no jobs” in a given area, they generally mean that there are no jobs that could produce a normal, upper-middle-class lifestyle there. Which, even in Massena and Ogdensburg isn’t entirely true. But even if it were, the Stewart’s gas stations in both towns are actively hiring part-time cashiers at $17/hr. These places will let you work just one day a week if you like, and seem to be pretty good about flexible hours. In this case, you could work just one ten-hour shift per week, and in so doing, earn more than 30% of what you need to live well at this particular house with just four days of work per month.

For there to be infringement, someone needs to prove that copying took place. Because of the algorithm these musicians used to generate this, they can prove mathematically that copying did not take place.

Couldn't one also argue that more frequent renewal exposes a larger attack surface?

I wrote for Packt, but I didn't have that problem. It wouldn't have been allowed by the contract.

Can you tell us what happened?

>what's the moral justification for making this illegal?

The robocalls I receive are all using fake caller IDs. At that point, it's fraud, isn't it?

I wouldn't mind robocallers if they used a real caller ID. If that were the case, I could just block them and be done with it.

I've been a Twilio customer for a long time. They don't allow you to spoof caller ID. You can only set outgoing caller ID to a real number that you own or have access to.

Lots of people use mention tools. I built a tool with a much narrower scope than yours, and it has a few thousand users now.

5k to 5.3k is a 6% increase. It seems like day trading should be just about the riskiest/hardest way to get 6% a year.

The S&P 500 returns about 10%/year since its inception. (7% if you adjust for inflation.)

5k into 5.3k is 6%. You can get much more than that in the long run by just putting it in an index fund.

Why bother day trading?

Does anyone know if this, or anything like it, is available in VR?

Of course. It's not a secret.
