The DoJ struggles mightily to get people to care. Long before any tech company mattered. Congress has had almost a century to tackle the issue. IMO the stuff the DoJ says matters wrt antitrust, like low prices for consumers, which isn'

This is meant to be a funny, stylized comment. If you can't bother to read to the end, just ask a chatbot to explain it to you. Most people do not use any math after school in their lives. All of their real problems are political. Kids

we only care about facades because architecture, in California, where I live, is co-opted by NIMBYs. when it's a twee victorian, they say it's part of the unique appearance of the neighborhood. when it's a hideous laundromat,

yes, if you buy into the 200% opposite philosophy as mine, then the words you are saying make it sound like i am wrong and you are right haha. i guess my point is: it doesn't really matter if they institute limits on gaming for childre

the reality is that those stats were flawed in numerous ways. this is expected, they were never subject to peer review. for example: ok cupid and tinder, during the times that christian rudder was blogging about them, never reported on the
