Did the account holder at least get to keep the interest? At 0.5%, that's about US$46,000 per hour.

Agreed. $1 is a big red flag. How about simply dividing by 10? it would look like random number and your average auditor wouldn't raise an eyebrow.

Are you implying that nuclear is "set and forget"?

"massive parenting fail"? Omegle came about at the beginning of the social media explosion. Parents, teachers and kids were barely aware that sites like this existed, let alone did they have the tools to deal with them.

A pre-teen or teen can grasp the dangers of getting into a car with a stranger much more readily than the dangers of simply talking to a stranger online. Getting into a stranger's car has to happen in a single instance. Online predators don't start with "want some candy?" They start with very innocuous conversation and build from there. Couple that with social pressures and low self esteem and it's easy to see how kids can end up in bad situations, no matter how good the parenting is. So, what's a parent to do? Block internet access? Then we'd hear slashdotters crying about how, if the parents did a better job raising their kids, they wouldn't have to resort to that. Lots of parenting advice on /. from people who've never had kids, or who had kids that were not challenging.

There's already a trucking company in Australia that converts highway trucks to electric with slide out batteries. Five minutes to swap for a new battery.

Imaging being able to rent a small trailer that is just extra battery capacity for your car. When it's almost depleted, you hit the next exchange station and swap it for a fully charged one. Faster than filling up with gas.

So you complain about a âoediversity hireâ not doing anything, but then also say there are 35 white guys doing nothing. Sounds like the problem is the manager. Your whinging about the diversity hire is a red herring.

Thereâ(TM)s plenty of waste in the private sector. If you think thereâ(TM)s 40% waste in the public sector, youâ(TM)ve never worked there and you believe all that conservative BS.

And who to the bailout money fraudulently? Private sector businesses.

Wouldnâ(TM)t it be Americansâ(TM) (plural possessive)? Americanâ(TM)s is singular possessive.

Iâ(TM)m not buying it. First, the WSJ piece is an opinion piece, not an actual article that would have been researched and fact checked. Second, you canâ(TM)t cite the Grassleyboress release, because itâ(TM)s just a copy of the piece in the WSJ.

You get a D on this assignment for poor sourcing.

Correction: politicians arenâ(TM)t interested in evidence based policy. There are plenty of government workers that are interested in evidence based policy, but are hampered but budget constraints and arbitrary rules set by politicians.

As a senator? How does that work?

Most companies do their JIT too lean. Toyota was smarter and always kept 2-6 months of safety stock for critical items, such as chips. Their safety stock of those items ran out in the last couple of weeks, but other manufacturers announced shortages months ago.

As stated elsewhere, the US is way behind the rest of the world in payment processing tech. Paper checks are also still a thing here.

In general, yes. But in this case Huang founded the company, so most would say he deserves the millions in salary and bonuses. A friend of mine was one of the first 30 employees at nvidia and has certainly done well for the startup hours he put in.

The higher you get in any organization the more you believe that if you want something bad enough, it will happen, regardless of whether it is possible.
