Ask Apple for some freebies and call it a day.

You may view it as sad. But I think two things are happening: 1. The price of the drug was artificially deflated. 2. The somewhat-free market is deciding how to handle the correction. If the market for this drug was interfered with and the

The example I've noticed is the poor person who doesn't have means for transportation will usually go to the closest source for staple items, like a convenience store. Milk and bread are 50-100% at these stores versus a traditiona

Also, this guy built a scale model in the Black Rock Desert: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR3Igc3Rhfg EDIT: This one doesn't include Pluto.

Well written and entertaining. But also completely off target. The reason football stadiums in Texas have to be fixed is the same reason that $6 Billion airports in Germany have to be fixed. It's not because engineers are hard to find.

From a human perspective, this is what gets me about climate change. So many preach about it, so few practice what they preach.

Off-topic, but I tried to wipe that extra stroke off my screen thinking it was fleck of foreign matter. Turns out it's supposed to be there.

In some ways, it feels like the punishment for the crime should be directly proportional to the level of responsibility the "criminal" had. It seems like any bank boss who, where it can be proven, acknowledges and approves of his

Certain types of work are not as affected by procrastination. Repetitive factory workers probably don't procrastinate near as much because once they learn the job, the decision-making aspect goes way down. Plus, they'll get fired.

I'm a sucker for reading these articles rather than working on what I should be doing.

I agree. I wonder how much the logo played into picking that name. EDIT: Turns out, not much. Here's the story. http://www.boundary.com/blog/2013/01/the-story-of-the-bounda...

Total click-bait headline from the Washington Post? Wow. It absolutely makes no difference what race the poor people are.

But the headline wouldn't be near as catchy.

The blame for obesity lies squarely on the enlarged shoulders of the obese. It certainly isn't Coca-Cola's fault. The level of blame-shifting in our society is amazing.

I guess that's just tough for them. I can tell you where anti-capitalistic thinking ends up and its not with everyone having more control over what propaganda they are bombarded with--just fewer sources.

Having seen this link, many of the responses in this thread make a lot more sense now. I'm starting to see a meme emerge here.

You're going a lot deeper than I am with this. Do you feel your mind is being controlled by advertisements? Because mine is not. Maybe I'm some weird exception and maybe you think I'm naive. That's fine.

I believe if three people come in to my restaurant and ask for fish tacos, it is an inherently moral thing for me to begin selling fish tacos. Furthermore, it is inherently moral for me to advertise that I have started selling fish tacos so

I wish you would explain how advertising is "inherently immoral". But before you do, I'll explain why I disagree. Advertising is selling ideas. You are selling an idea right now. Just because your idea doesn't make you a

People want to be connected, join social networks, download apps, be able to control their appliances from across the ocean, carry devices loaded with sensors everywhere they go--and on top of all it, they want privacy. These are fun and i

This is a valid point. You can't really compare purposeful murders to accidental deaths. It would be like comparing kids injured while jumping on a trampoline to kids injured while being beaten by an abusive adult.

Based on your comment, I completely skipped the first three points. If the rest of the bullet points are true, the first three don't make a difference. To answer your question, police officer are not trained to retreat and allow a crim

They don't readily advertise it, but the cost appears to be $15 per month (per number ?).

This is generally true. "Today and today only" is usually a red flag. But those who aren't willing to pull the trigger quick enough miss the great deals.

Is the audio the same? Is it possible the original audio stretched to fill the old "glitched" video?

It's not that funny (weird). People want to be successful. One of the clearest ways that success is measured in the startup space is by a larger company buying you out. Of course they're excited.

Yet, the mouse over text for the comic says "ISO 8601 was published on 06/05/88 and most recently amended on 12/01/04." Is this irony? Probably not. Nothing is ever irony.
