Imagine how bad Caracas is, given that the population is roughly the same (or a little larger than Chicago's). There are no official numbers for Caracas as the government "chose" not to report. But Chicago has a 15.65 murde rate vs. a +110 in Caracas (per 100 000).
I don't even want to think what's the rate for the equivalent of Engelwood in Caracas :(

Disclaimer, I have never been to Nashville, but I've heard about it from people who have been there and did a bit of reading 5 minutes ago.

However, the underlying problem was that these people who are currently in jail were doing something that was illegal at the moment. Their sentences need to be revised, but it's probably not something I'd exonerate from all guilt.
According to the Ex Post Facto law [1] definition, a court could issue amnesties or pardons for scenarios like this, but I don't think it would be an automatic process over all convictions.

So I agree, Apple as an American company should pay taxes on the money it makes abroad. And again, I would vouch for a larger tax break, but still pay on their income abroad - as expats do.

You just described my motorcycle! Beautiful 0-miles engine (took it out of the dealership this week). It has no unnecessary stuff and that's what I love the most about it. I do pretty much all the maintenance myself and the community of motorcycle riders is very supportive and helpful to do so.
Now... Why isn't there a car company that builds cars on the same level of complexity? I know comfort/luxury sells. But there should be a tier of cars that are easily serviceable.
Meanwhile, I highly recommend you get a motorcycle :)

However I find it difficult to believe that the Airline (or the flight attendants manager) would have allowed a $5,000 compensation for the seat. Because they had no way of knowing how this was gonna unravel.

I think a better approach may be charging both the seeker and recruiter the $2.5 fare (recruiters can set a cap, and does not have to be 50/50... could be seeker $2, recruiter $10). But there needs to be painful and incentives on both sides.

leopoldo | 10 years ago | on: Windows 10 will not permit re-installation if any hardware changes
I don't think it works like that. On my own experience, I did the free upgrade last week to my HDD when it came out. I also created a USB drive to do a clean install, during the weekend I replaced the HDD with an SSD and put a new RAM stick in it. Windows 10 was installed from the USB stick and was properly activated with those hardware changes without having to input any type of product Key.
So yeah, bad on the tech support guy, but I don't think this will be an issue for gamers who constantly change RAM, video cards and hard drives.

One thing I would expand on is the resale value for Tesla. The EV technology is changing so rapidly that there may be groundbreaking changes or improvements in the 3-5 year span that would render a TM3's resale price useless. It's much more unlikely that the same will happen for a Camry, the threshold of innovation for gas-powered cars have been pushed much more closer to its limits than EVs.
