I didn't mention theranos either. Crops have inherent positive value. Business do not. Who cares about humility? It has nothing to do with whether a business should succeed or fail. People who have an axe to grind don't belong in

There are plenty of mono fonts with italic variants. What distinguishes this font? How easily are the characters distinguished? How does it look under different font engines? What is the optimal size for the font? How much Unicode does it s

North Korea and china MUST be successes; people live there. Meanwhile, businesses can and should fail, regardless of my stake in them. This is just how the market preserves efficiency, which we all benefit from. I don't see your point.

I would consider selling faulty tests to be egregious for a med tech company. I'm happy they are going down in flames; this is a public health concern. Their tact was borderline fraud.

Evolution doesn't require conscious knowledge of sexual pressure. Why would men be constantly evaluating their sexual value as opposed to simply having a reaction to the situation? The latter would be all that's necessary to provi

Sure. This is why Apple doesn't have the consumers best interest at heart: they prioritize business over building tools that function well with the assets people already have. But you didn't buy those, right, so they don't ha

If you could sue over security this wouldn't be an issue: we'd actually have a bug program that worked. Also, the market would be harder to enter. I don't see a problem with this.

Anecdotally, my state school had an "on-campus" policy for 2/4 years, which appears to be the norm in schools attempting the liberal arts model. The housing is truly part of what they're trying to sell you in the "c

If they can't patent it, and it's known to be cheap, it's a race to the bottom in terms of profits. A pill would be far more profitable. I don't think pharmaceuticals would be eager for anyone to find out about it if the
