Re:I Fell Victim to a $1,500 Used Camera Lens Scam on Amazon on Friday August 11, 2017 @06:30PM (#14994889)

If you are the person this happened to file a complaint with the United States Postal Service office of the Inspector General. As they used USPS this would actually be mail fraud something the law enforcement arm of the postal service has jurisdiction over.

You can file a complaint at https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/contactUs/filecomplaint.a... or by calling 1-800-ASK-USPS

Re:I Fell Victim to a $1,500 Used Camera Lens Scam on Amazon on Friday August 11, 2017 @06:27PM (#14994871)

I would open a case with the USPS Inspector General https://postalinspectors.uspis.gov/contactUs/filecomplaint.a...

This seems like it would be considered mail fraud, and as UPSP was used they have jurisdiction to investigate it. I'm not sure how serious they will take the case however.

I used to be on Linode... then one of their techs tripped on a power cord causing a significant outage in a data center... and no I'm not joking.

I've been using this for quite some time... works very well. I only will fly one or two airlines, but I still use Google Flights to compare days, and departure airports because its so much easier!

Re:Ask HN: Making a Product out of Client Project Is Ethical? on Sunday July 13, 2014 @01:58PM (#8028114)

Companies recycle code all the time for other projects... in fact I've seen it written in a lot of contracts the the company that wrote the code owns the code and they just license it to the client.
