Great. Drug dealing may bring in money to but what kind of value do they deliver? Except staling content all over the internet, spamming google picture search and then offering click bait?
My dog gets bitten a lot (has a collar now) but why are you getting bitten?
I was told ticks don't fall from the trees, as I assumed, but linger in the grass and then walk up your legs. Stuffing your trousers into your socks should prevent most of them, no?
I don't understand the concept or the graphics are rendered wrong on my computer.
Better would it be do explain with a standard distribution (what wealth isn't). Lets assume that 1 SD of income corresponds to 10 cm. So 3SD or 60cm, basically your screen size, corresponds to 99.7% of the population.
Some random data from the internet:
"The median household income in Franklin County Ohio is about $43,000 although the average household income is closer to $54,000. The standard deviation of household incomes is about $30,000. You pick a random sample of 50 households. What is the chance the average household income in your sample is over $60,000?"

Household income may be even two earners. But assuming broadly 50k, sd 50k per person to make it easier and taking into account more affluent areas, only a few people make more than 200k per year.
Now lets assume Bill Gates or the Oligarch of your choice makes 10% ROE on his wealth. If he has 100 Billion, this is 10 Billion a year. This should be 200,000 Standard Deviations. If one SD corresponds to 10 cm, this should be 20 km on our scale.
So we can see the income of 99.7% of the population on our screen, but Bill Gates income would be 20 km away.
(Hope I made no mistake, feel free to correct)
PennState used an extraordinary bad example to teach the normal distribution, they chose a case where you have a fat tail distribution.
1. not. Sure. Hey. website.io is cool now. .ly too. But you don't know how long the rules will last. They may insist you must open a company in this jurisdiction!
2, "You can sue to have a domain name confiscated if you own the trademark with the same name"
Yes sure. What do you know about trademark law and English common law? A few hints: trademarks are granted for classes and a trademark in another class or another jurisdiction would buy you nothing.
lets take sampleword.com
A trademark for sampleword for delivering consulting services would not prevent me from running a shoe shop under this domain. Or a trademark in the US would not prevent me from using in in another country. Country specific domains may offer some protection here but not for .com .net
I don't mind squatters in general. It seems like something many people would do. I have bought a domain name for a business 10 years ago for USD 500 from a former music band.
But now, people often want 30k-50k per Domain. If you have a few hundred it may make sense to wait until you find an idiot. But I doubt that it is a very profitable business for many. It may be a long tail business. Many losers, a few make a killing.
“The door refused to open. It said, “Five cents, please.”
He searched his pockets. No more coins; nothing. “I’ll pay you tomorrow,” he told the door. Again he tried the knob. Again it remained locked tight. “What I pay you,” he informed it, “is in the nature of a gratuity; I don’t have to pay you.”
“I think otherwise,” the door said. “Look in the purchase contract you signed when you bought this conapt.”
In his desk drawer he found the contract; since signing it he had found it necessary to refer to the document many times. Sure enough; payment to his door for opening and shutting constituted a mandatory fee. Not a tip.
“You discover I’m right,” the door said. It sounded smug.
From the drawer beside the sink Joe Chip got a stainless steel knife; with it he began systematically to unscrew the bolt assembly of his apt’s money-gulping door.
“I’ll sue you,” the door said as the first screw fell out.
Joe Chip said, “I’ve never been sued by a door. But I guess I can live through it.”
