No one is suggesting doing this with every drug, only this one. Straw man.

Surprisingly so. It is particularly effective at reaching an audience who no longer consumes much “traditional” media like TV and radio. A multipronged approach is needed when trying to reach as many people as possible.

Maybe, but it would need to be treated as a separate system. I turned Amber Alerts off after being blasted awake at 2am over a missing child five hours away from me. The chances of me ever being able to help in a missing persons case is alr

Maybe for 25 years in tech but it’s been like this for 125 years at least. Once the Industrial Revolution really got cranking, workers are supposed to get chewed up and discarded.

I’ve found I have little use for my laptop, as a portable machine, since adding an iPad alongside my phone. I doubt I’ll buy another laptop in the future and certainly not a new one (3 y/o Thinkpad maybe). I’ll probably go with a gamin

For home users, gaming is the only reason to own a traditional desktop. Non-gamers are better served by laptops or NUC style machines. The business market is still figuring out the balance between lightweight machines using the cloud and be

Your coworker is wise. Economic theory holds that in a truly efficient market, profits approach 0.

Forgive me, but when it comes to corporations and a fair number of people, I’m going to assume mal-intent in matters of money.

I might even be willing to get on board with that if a reasonable threshold were in place. Every American with an S&P 500 fund of some sort owns some 3M stock. We’re not throwing the majority of American adults in prison anytime soon.

Depends on if they are looking into it or “looking into it” the same way I might buy a private island in the South Pacific.

VW has this really cute ad for one of their EVs. It was amusing the first few times I saw it. It airs about 20 times per game on MLB.tv, every game. I’ve probably seen that same ad 500 times now. I own a VW. I like my VW. I will not be buyi

I will always have a need for a VPN. I will never pay for NordVPN. Their level of advertising has me convinced they are up to no good regardless of whether that is true or not.

I have many good friends and family members that I now live 1000+ miles away from. I might go years without meeting up with them face to face. Sharing photos and experiences helps to keep us closer than we might otherwise be. I also think t

What about bookmarks that I don’t necessarily want to be publicly known. Not even talking about anything potentially embarrassing. Things like where I bank or my doctor’s appointment booking page.

Nobody was suggesting throwing the 2.5 GPA kids in with the 4.5 GPA kids and sending them wherever. If MIT has a 4% acceptance rate, I can guarantee that more than 4% of those applicants could have succeeded there if a spot was available to

Same. I used to drink multiple Cokes a day. I switched to Diet Coke sometime in my late 20s. In my 30s I cut back to one Diet Coke a day and about 4 years ago in my mid 40s I switched over to carbonated water when I crave something fizzy bu

Where's your proof that gravity exists and that we fully understand all of its effects? Science doesn't work that way. Meanwhile aspartame has been linked to many health problems.

Start with the lowest hanging fruit. I’ve converted all of my lawn equipment to electric. I won’t be converting my stove or furnace anytime soon since they are both less than four years old. We became a one car family and have not had any s

My Costco had an electric riding mower on display this week. I didn’t stop to look over all of the specs since my lawn isn’t anywhere near big enough to need one but it appears having too big of a lawn isn’t an excuse anymore when it comes

Apple News was trying to be the Spotify of news sites. It's never gained much traction and I expect it to be killed off in the not too distant future. EDIT: Bytesmith beat me to it.
