I challenge you on "jail also acts as a deterrent to the first murder" as a cliched truism and again on "...a lot more people might commit murders..." - I mean really, you added the might because even you know you'r

Either a trip or someone who buys counterfeit products on the street, where information in the market is known. If you buy a Gucci bag on the street, you know it's not really Gucci and you price accordingly. The same for DVDs, or elect

I've been screwed by a counterfeit SD card and it seems like the "manufacturer" probably took older, smaller capacity cards where the back stock had outlived demand for those specs and just reprogrammed them to identify as a

Co-mingeling is exactly right. I bought a Samsung product sold and fulfilled by Amazon and still got a counterfeit. I didn't discover it was counterfeit until after the standard return warranty and when I contacted Amazon, they couldn&

The ad hominem hyperbole turned me against your much simpler - add moral hazard - argument. Do tell, which universities provide this degree in basket weaving that you denigrate? Sure, you may have drawn on this often invoked mythical degree

This doesn't seem like the "feature" that would get you the outcome you want. People more exposed to the traditions and practices of securing wealth for posterity will do so with cryptocurrencies, and others get no aid in avo

How about a compromise - not a score for each policy but for "each" individual, or tranche of similarly concerned individuals. I go through a list of privacy options (maybe just once) and the point at which my "okay" bec

Not really. And they are asking for the terms of an agreement made in 1997 to actually be honored. It's not like they are coming out of nowhere with original demands here. The demands boil down to something akin to: stop trying to fuck

This is just plainly inaccurate. There is a spectrum of desired outcome among protesters, from a China that simply better honors the One Country, Two Systems mantra, to outright Independence, and I'd say that most protesters align with

This is an awkward study poorly described in the journal paper. They are studying two groups, one that is CIN+ and HPV+ and the other that is CIN- but HPV+. They are applying the same treatment. It's essentially two studies. They provi

This is still a thing? Now I'm curious; what did it cost Nokia to build the Lumia 520 (or 521) that I paid $35 for new from ATT about a year ago (no plan/no strings, since unlocked for free) and just read this article on. And just

Top 10? I would put money on him being at least #2 and giving Aesop Rock a run for his money for #1 (depending on which albums his 35,000 words fall on - he's got a solid discography). I just put on A Book of Human Language( https:&#x2
