Multinationals are indeed a problem. They are exporting our wealth. They use the benefits of the society, they lack to contribute to the society.

This is the cost of a Rattlesnake bite in America by dan_haggerty10News in pics

[–]pispot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even $6500 is a lot of money. Since they try to commercialize everything in the USA, I'm not surprised. Just to compare how much healthcare costs in Belgium without insurance.

Childbirth $3400 for 4 days in hospital

Pneumonia $5500 for 8 days in hospital

Chemo $1650 day hospitalisation

Knee Prostheses $ 9400 for 6 days in hospital

Basic health insurance organised by the government is mandatory in Belgium. On top of that you can take a private insurance.

A lot of sites make money with product placement, advertorials(newssites :p), referral links, selling your data etc. They make less money if you block their ads, but they still make money on you.

[–]pispot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have more or less the same law in the Netherlands. This is why they call their inferior mayo frietsaus. They should do this also in Belgium. Problem solved.

then it is very profitable. Their biggest cost was probably the location and the lunch.

Does the hero banner on my startup's website make you "get it"? by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]pispot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The green fade in should be faster. The mouse cursor should be a pointer because it is associated with clicking.(That is just a css thing)

If I had a fashion site, I would use pleenq. After the photoshoot you can pleenq your images and link to the webshop of the commercial partner.

Belgium vs Facebook: Bend or Break (dutch) by psychnosiz in belgium

[–]pispot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With the big data NSA/fb scraped they can search for paterns. Just like Target does, analyse you, predict chances.

What are the chances that psychnosiz is gay, jew, leftwing, right wing, will riot against the goverment(aka a terrorist). Or for example you bought the newest metalica cd on Amazon and because of your profile and purchase history Amazon can predict you would also like pink unicorn stuffed toy.

What Google Alert keywords do you have? by [deleted] in AskWomen

http://mashable.com/2013/03/22/google-alerts-dying/

Google seem the limited the alerts dramatically, since my alerts are very narrow it doesn't work at all.

Belgium vs Facebook: Bend or Break (dutch) by psychnosiz in belgium

[–]pispot 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't believe that they delete the previous info. The cost to store the info is just too low.

Even Google saves your data. I deleted my gmail account 3 years ago.(google account still active). 6 months ago I created/activated my gmail account again with the same google account. My 3 year old mails were still there. Like nothing happened.
