What about the publisher, who took on legal risk publishing Snowden's book? If they don't make money, there is no incentive to publish this sort of book in the future.

There was a couple I had heard about who bought an electric car. They took their electric car to a shop that promised more millage (or faster charging, I can't remember which). As it turns out this custom modification killed the batter

Netflix claims an UHD stream is 25 Mbps. This is probably the most demanding use case for your average consumer, but it may not be a rare use case in the near future. Each satellite can support 800 UHD streams. That doesn't seem suffic

Overall, it doesn't sound to bad. What caught my attention was this line: > Another gripe is that traditional asset managers can no longer compete. “Public markets are becoming winner-takes-all,” complains one of the world’s largest

Non-profit just means they don't pass money on to shareholders, right? That doesn't mean there isn't management taking a large cut. Recently a hospital near my family was bought up by CHI[1], making them the only game in town

Pfaff has pretty good data to back up his claim. He looks at legislation. He looks at mandatory minimums. Everyone plays their part, but prosecutors have a lot of power over sentencing. Plea deals play a role here. And in many places prosec

In "Locked In" John Pfaff makes the point that private prisons are not the problem. It is a more nuanced problem, but prosecutors play a large part in our national incarceration problems. Definitely recommend the read (or listen a

Say Google makes a significant change to their ToS. If you link to the ToS, the title will be "Google ToS". So instead you are left with the option of linking to a Guardian/buzzfeed/wired blog post that is mostly fluff,
