Damn it! I really did think. 

Don't tease us like that anymore if you're not serious about it!

I have no particular opinion about crash gams. In my opinion, this is just another form of dice gambling, just slower.
Instead of choosing the multiplier you want to gamble on in advance, you have to wait for the multiplier to gradually increase which takes extra time and is not efficient.

I understand that to some it may be fun, but to me personally it seems like a waste of time.

The business relation between the owner of the investment and the investment manager must be of benefit to the investor.
Thus, this relationship is extremely important and should be managed properly.

I don't think that the problem is if the translation is not completely in line with the original, but that the meaning of the translated text is not completely lost. Like in the funny example that Ucy showed.

I can see that it can be a big mess. Especially if it's a serious matter.

I would approach this situation like this: When you hire a translator, arrange payment only after the translation is checked with a third party - another translator or proofreader. You can agree to use a middleman (escrow) and that you will not pay him if he does not meet the quality.
Once you get the translated work, you can ask the online community (even on this forum) to check a few random sentences or paragraphs to make sure no machine translation has been used (this can be easily recognized by any native speaker).
After that, you simply approve the payment to the translator.
That way, you don't have to pay double service and you'll have public evidence if it's a bad quality translation so no one will be able to accuse you of attempted fraud.

Actually, you've got another option. You can choose to be both constructive and proactive.
Offer people the respect and understanding they deserve.

Be kind, forgiving, generous, giving, genuine and helpful. Be patient with others, and don't make assumptions.

Be curious and learn, not only about those around you but also about yourself. Take responsibility for your own behavior and make changes where you can.

And, most important of all, be honest, caring, and loving towards others.

The world will treat you so much nicer when you do those things than when you are just wealthy or greedy.

The loss against Stuttgart was a very bad experience for Schalke because they had to fight hard for every second. Schalke showed some solid performances, they even had 51% ball possession, but without being able to pull off the win, they lost the match. The game against Dortmund was no exception.

That's a great idea. I just wonder what kind of infrastructure you need for such a setup?
Imagine all 10 million users wanting to access their cloud storage at the same time.

Emily, I don't think that counts as a good deed.

Depends on what kind of risk you refer to.
From your example, if the bear market starts, what happens to his investment? Will he be able to make his ROI back, ever?

As I said in the previous reply, when investing in hardware, at worst, he still has a hardware that can be resold (with a lower price, of course).
When investing in a market, especially in some highly speculative asset, he can literally be left with nothing. So, yeah. I still think investing, without prior research, is far more risky than mining.

It is impressive that you find cases like this in a boatload of topics on this forum. 

It seems to me that some of these cases have been resolved solely because they were brought up in a public forum.

Mining or investing? Mining has no risk but the cost-effectiveness is questionable. Investing, however, is risky.
Investing in your own hardware has many benefits, including full control over the mining operation. And if all else fails, you're always left with hardware that you can resell (depending on the type of hardware).

Good deed? I helped my nephew set up his computer. It turns out he needed to update his security settings.
I helped my brother and his wife move and haul a bunch of junk to the dump.

So, I'm feeling accomplished.

I didn't even know that this exists (or existed).

It would be interesting to try these features:

Also, a chat could be fun.

I don't know what details you expect from the admins, but I doubt you'll get them.
If you have evidence that some members are violating the forum rules, you can report them to the moderator yourself.

No, I don't think so. You should work as hard as you can in that moment to win a contest. There is a grey area of cheating you might be able to get away with. But it's a grey area. It should never be okay. It's not worth it to be sneaky.

Do you have a specific situation in mind?

I have a 5TB of storage and I drastically lack free space. LOL!
Maybe it's time to start cleaning up unnecessary things ...

Depends on how much you pay for electricity. If you have free electricity, you will definitely break even eventually. It may take longer for you to break even, but it will happen.
