The title of the article is "Firefox terms of use." Why are we allowing the editorializing of the title?

My first thought here is what is an "Ax?" Maybe it is a typo, no it is on the title as well. Ok all Google for the definition. Will TIL it is an alternative spelling for axe. Who knew?

Previously I used a search engine that have me a bunch of results that made it easier to verify the authority and compare results. Now I just ask some random guy that may or may not give me the correct answer. That is basically what you are

A billion isn't really that much. Most billionaires are billionaires because they own a company that is with that much. Is the solution to take the company away from them? If so people will not try to grow billion dollar companies, and

Baking tik tok isn't a first amendment issue. As much of an advocate for free speech and the first amendment, I think Congress has the right to regulate trade and prevent a foreign company from doing business on American soil.

I don't believe it is unethical at all. If you have one of something, who do you sell it to? The highest bidder? The first bidder? The person you like the most? Why is one more or less ethical than another?

I'll disagree with your assessment about having zero dollars left over. Not everyone will want to spend everything they have But also a lot of people are willing to pay 1.5x for something until they find that others aren't. Yes

Why is tx and px better than pro and pro Max? Typically pro Max is going to offer you more or better than what pro does. So pro Max tells me that it is probably better than pro (without designing what "better"is) but TX and PX whi

Toothpaste shopping is easy. I pick the one brand that has a convenient non tube toothpaste (actually there are two, but I didn't like the taste of one) I thing I didn't understand is there are only about 6 of the non tube options

Do you realize just how much plastic we use? Almost everything we use had plastic in it (in some form or another) Not saying we can't go back, but it isn't as simple as "don't use plastic"

I didn't know what the OP meant about "both siding" but I feel like the biggest problem is the lack of journalism, the lack of "report the facts."instead it is about supporting a particular narrative, about reportin

Arbitrary?I guess. I always assumed it had to do with the seasons. With the new year starting roughly after the winter solstice. Why the solstices aren't lined up with the month is beyond me. Buy it makes more sense to me that the new

"analytics have caught up" this seems like an odd statement. For the longest time 3 point average was about 1/3 while the two point shot was around 1/2. So it doesn't really matter which shot you took, other than yo

If you take a bunch of books. Read then. Then write your own story with hints from each of the books, then who owns the copyright? Yes if you take a single work and replace every word with a synonym, that works be infringement. But that isn

Copyright implies creativity. The creator owns the copyright, expect for in works for hire. But the thing has to be created. An ai doesn't have creativity so it can't own a copyright. You could argue that the person who created th

As someone who grew up in Arizona, please stop this silliness. Sure, once a year you get an extra hour of last call. Otherwise it seems pointless. Of course I also don't like it getting dark at 4:30 pm either.

Poker, while considered a game of skill, had a direct connection to gambling, and hence the negative connotation. Poker isn't very interesting of it isn't played for stakes (whether it is money or something else) in fact what is

I can't read the article. But it doesn't seem to be targeting wealthy people. Because if you are known to be wealthy, then your luxury items can be explained.

What are the good reasons? I can understand one party not wanting to deal with a large amount of cash. But the government shouldn't have any say in how much cash you use.

How did they rig the election? Did they count tiktok users for the vote? Did they somehow use tiktok users to count to votes? Or maybe blackmail the vote counters? Oh wait, they used a disinformation campaign. So nothing was actually rigged

What exactly is a "trip" I think comparing per mile is much better than per trip. I take make two dozen airline trips a year but I can do that many car trips in a week. On the other hand most of my car trips are on the order of a

That is a different question. If something is labeled "butter"it is probably butter. If it is labeled "not butter" it definitely should have a label that says "might contain butter. Now I understand the labeling and
