I did, but the crux is, that this was governed by them driving competitors off the market, so I didnt have options to choose from. You could argue it's the same mechanism, but to me it is important at what point the cut-off hapoens.

well, I have a parking timer installed in the windshield of my car, and it has a 'universally hailed' beautiful design. It is an obnoxious hassle to replace the batteries on it, and equally so set the clock on it. So, should I tru

I'm willing to call them equally bad. Making the world inhospitable through global warning, is pretty high on the list in my view..

It partially used to work, but a lot of the legal underpinnings were dismantled in the late 90's, and parts of it possibly also in the reagan era. Right now, MS is doing again with Edge, what they were already slapped rather harshly fo

By the reply count it appears this post was excellent at trolling HN's core audience :-). The author may be right, but his preface "look I'm one of you" was in a very different tone to the rest of his "now shut up a

as I understand it, populism is when you exploit 'popular' causes to get a mass backing to bring yourself into, and to stay in, power. It is opportunistic, 'goal justifies means' philosophy. So, you don't really h

Maybe we could give Trump the northern part of Greenland, as visible on this map? As you can all see, the northern part of Greenland is HUGE, which is why I think it is the best part to give him. The small insignificant SOUTHERN part howeve
