No. You're turning a fallacy into a bumper sticker. First of all, speed limits are way below the capabilities of how safely cars can move today. Hence, the original federal law that said limits should represent the top 80th percentile

Stop thinking of things in some petty nationalist sense. Communities can handle their own problems in a much smarter and more efficient way.

You don't need an "ironclad law" no such thing exists. You just need to recognize that it's wrong to abuse children. That's like saying you need an "ironclad law" to determine how wrong it is to be drunk w

It's a shame children can't work more often. I think people are smart enough to tell the difference between abuse and an awesome opportunity for experience.

I've been using Kindle Paperwhite almost since they came out. They're wonderful, backlit screens tend to be terrible for reading. Although, I love read.amazon.com, the online reader. The font a spacing works out perfectly.

I'm not a fan of Chromebooks. I owned one, let it collect dust, and gave it away, didn't even sell it.

This is exactly why many people CHOOSE to use Uber. Because they don't put up with unnecessary and economically damaging laws. This allows them to draw in either better drivers or better prices. If you're going to hang on to this

How are they doing harm? Unless you're going to tell me people are too dumb to make decisions about who gives them rides I can't possibly see where there can be any harm.

"BlaBlaCar is restricted by unnecessary and economically damaging laws, but puts up with them. Uber and Lyft fight them" That's the take away. You can't compare the two and say one is simply being "polite". The

These are entirely different businesses. BlaBlaCar is restricted by unnecessary and economically damaging laws, but puts up with them. Uber and Lyft fight them and offer great jobs. The only people being "rude" are the governments

So they don't want to deal with the hassle of supporting two kinds of networks at once. Big deal. Either find an alternative, deal with their decision which is driven by other customers (not some sort of imaginary corporate sociopathy)

It's funny, I didn't know Amazon acquired WP until earlier today. I do appreciate these kinds of ads though. All due respect to Google's algorithms, but I'd rather see ads about what I'm reading about. Not something

There is none. People here are acting like healthcare didn't exist before Obamacare and like you can't just sign up with any company for the exact same prices.

Even the best lose their talent with too much time in government. It's been shown too many times to count. Fixer? Doubt it.

While I can agree with the points laid out here (underneath the silly video), I can't say that forcefully stopping the merger does much good. Nor does requiring them to ask permission from the FCC to do so. You've got two bad comp

What kind of hospital (or anyone who sells mail for that matter) doesn't use email? It's recognized as both safer and cheaper. Snail mail through USPS is pretty archaic.

ClaroRead and Jaws are popular. We're talking about high priced software actually built for people with disabilities. Not using Balabolka to speed things up because someone is too lazy to read. (I do it all the time.)

Why choose this over audio-books and advanced TTS software? As qrazhan noted, it's very difficult (unnecessarily so) to use in the first place. (ie. electronics are already the way to go, why would you care about print versions vs. dig
