True. Concern about legal issues is what leads one to consult counsel in the first place typically though. Counsel discourages speculation by people who aren't involved and aren't the right people to be discussing it - like they&#

Sounds like the accuracy testing should be blind but isn't. Why not? It seems like disclosing that a sample is a test is more likely to negatively affect the accuracy of the test than improve it. The need for double blind trials is nor

It also applies to things like gravitational potential energy, or velocity. Climb a flight of stairs, and you gain energy. Gaining potential energy really means that you've gained mass, and so you're heavier at the top of the stai

Making it difficult to fire ineffective people, or doing so slowly, is one of the best ways to ruin an organization. The friction that exists around firing in many countries seems to be part of why they have less effective business innovati

So, how do banks decide how much to loan you, if you want a loan, or at what interest rate? My history of being responsible with debt enables me to borrow large amounts of money while putting a small percentage down, and paying a small perc

You're right (fixed). I meant to say Amazon Video, not Prime Video. I was thinking of the feature where you can pay to rent or purchase a video, not just the set of movies that are included in Prime without additional cost. I agree th

If I understand the news article correctly, streaming video players will be allowed as long as they support Amazon Video too. If that's a correct understanding, then it implies that Amazon would sell Chromecast or Apple TV again if tho

I use them both as well. What I like about Amazon* Video is that it has new releases. If I don't catch a movie while it's still in the theater, I can watch it the day it comes out online. I still have a Netflix DVD subscription, s

Based on the news article, Amazon isn't banning competitors. Roku competes with Fire TV, and the Netflix app it bundles competes with Prime Video. The article says Amazon will still sell Roku. Indeed, Amazon's Fire TV also support

I don't think it's obvious that an "integer multiple" of a quantity necessarily excludes 0 or 1. I could accept that it excludes zero if from the context that would make no sense. But to presume that it excludes 1 is a

Why should a city subsidize housing? That seems like something the market should drive primarily. For that same reason, I'm skeptical about whether zoning and permiting are a good thing in general.

People not knowing what decisions have been made, and which have yet to be made, is poor communication. The first thing you do after making a decision is communicate it unambiguously.
