Nah, Amazon just figured out they could get you to buy more by getting you to click back into the website. Gmail hasn't mined data for commercial purposes for half a decade now. Someone at Amazon took dark-pattern customer engagement

The difference in the costs of the solutions you're talking about are to the order of many magnitudes. Congestion pricing is a quick fix that is not a punishment, because everyone would be waiting in traffic anyways. Opening up the ext

That's the point of the study though, right? That violent behavior begets more violence. It may seem like a "no duh" moment, but sometimes you need to observe it in a structured format to demonstrate it.

Maybe this is wrong, but it sounds like you were in toxic relationships, ones which you were able to escape by asserting your boundaries. Asserting yourself is a little different than being hostile and/or violent, which is what aggress
