Comcast is few-to-many model, Facebook is many-to-many. A few content producers create the content that Comcast could potentially carry. Comcast selects what they want to provide to their many customers. Comcast has never marketed themselve

Facebook, YouTube, and Twitter also have as their primary purpose the propagation of information and messages by and among their users. It's not some incidental or secondary feature. It's what they do. And they promote this to the

Except the primary purpose of a mall is retail business, not message distribution. Facebook's primary purpose (as far as its users are concerned) is to facilitate social interaction. It's almost exactly analagous to the village co

> There's no single procedure for procuring voting machines, well, anywhere. And that's probably a good thing. Heterogeneity in this sort of thing is desirable, as it makes large-scale fraud harder to pull off.

You would pay Apple 2x their price for already overpriced hardware, but won't pay the WSJ for reporting on a topic you "care about" ?

Very much so. Camping, hiking, fishing are very popular in a lot of places. There are still many areas where it's not uncommon for a boy to get a rifle or shotgun at around age 10 and start learning to hunt. This modern super-protectiv

No the burgers are not a leap ahead. They are marginally better, but that isn't saying much. I find them barely edible but tolerate them if I'm pressed for time.

When I go to McDonald's, if they suggest anything that I didn't ask for it pisses me off. Their food is pretty shit at best. The only reason I go there is to get something quick without any ceremony. If they can't do that, th

I think customers will find this very annoying. There's already way too many options on the menu. And their in store self service ordering kiosks are horrendously complicated already. They should eliminate about 60% of the menu and foc

They built a nice new field with a wall around it and guards at the gates. The old open field with all the weeds and litter is still there.

Tourists don't use the subway much. It's rather confusing and even scary.

Electric usage taxes or separate metering and rates for EV charging will be coming. That or much higher registration fees to offset the lost fuel tax revenue, which has already started happening.

No you can't sue them. Nobody has a right to publish apps on Google Play. They can be as arbitrary or incompetent as they like in what they do. As long as they aren't violating some protected class criteria, there's not much

Not saying it's the case here but randomness is clumpy not uniform. Also new models unfortunately sometimes have problems. They'll get it sorted out.

This is why you should block ads and trackers even if you're not a Facebook user. I have blocked all their domains in my hosts file also.

If you are running a business on Twitter, I don't see a big issue with having a phone number connected to that Twitter account. It doesn't strike me as unreasonable.

Very common in banking is a situation where you deposit a check, but the bank puts a 2- to 5-business-day hold on availability of the funds until the check clears. They might do this if it's not a local bank, or if for whatever reason

They might also change with very short notice, I would think? In case of a delayed inbound flight, or mechanical problems with the scheduled aircraft that require substituting a different plane.

I've been in elevators where they definitely did work, with immediate effect. But also some where they don't seem to do anything.

LED bulbs are the worst thing. They use less energy but are just awful compared to incandescent light. I've seriously considered switching to candles or oil lamps for home at night.

I think the issue is that Boeing didn't see a potential MCAS failure as really any different from any other cause of runaway trim, for which there was well-established procedure and training. Clearly at least not all pilots seem to rec

Yes, like McDonnell-Douglas renaming the later revisions of the DC-10 as the MD-11. The MD-11 even included "a partly computer-driven horizontal stabilizer. Updates to the software package made the airplane's handling characterist
