This is ridiculous reasoning... First off, healthcare.gov is not the only way to get health insurance. Secondly, it's not even the only way to find health insurance using the ACA (you could do this in person, or via telephone). Fina

It seems to me that the best way to abolish patents is over time. We are currently granting 20 year patents. Next year we grant 19-year patents, etc, etc. Past (and current) investors can capitalize on their 'investments', and t

During my studies (conflict resolution), I had the opportunity to ask several mediators and negotiators who had worked on high-profile political cases about lying. It occurred often, but was by far the least favorite item in the toolbox of

I would find it very dubious if my own employer asserted that it was appropriate to read and act on an employee's private, non-work email because that employee accessed it from their network or device. If I were a Google employee I&#x2

I used the MightyMouse for a while, for work and didn't mind it. There were occasionally misfires with the left/right capacitive sensors, for example if you left your right finger on the mouse while depressing the left finger. Thi

In Holland, WhatsApp dominates, and it's not a $10/day country. It dominates because SMS rates were too expensive here. Even when Mom & Dad would buy you an iPhone, kids were choosing Blackberries (!) as their primary phone b

The same could happen with any currency (and does). Your rent would not fluctuate if the price of cars/tvs/food went up in the middle of your contract.

In this case Kindle users who buy their books from Amazon shouldn't be affected by this Adobe format change. Amazon decided (smartly in this case) to keep the keys to their own walled garden. As to your other question, I still use a K

Just adding to this, I really enjoyed the book (even though I'm not into mountaineering).

Coin is a hack, it's a neat solution to an annoying problem which is going to disappear for other reasons, and it shouldn't even work. It shouldn't work because US credit cards should have some second form of authentication

I'm not sure. Civil codified law would make the judiciary less able to say "well, we tried X, it doesn't work, let's do something else". Anyway, I'm referring to something more broad than that. While Dutch po

This is subjective, but as an American living in NL I've been fairly impressed with the Dutch government's (parliament, cities, unions, within parties, and courts) pragmatism. While there are cases of people maintaining hard-line

I feel like some sort of manual component to two-factor authentication is the whole point (a clickable link, copy+paste, or remembering a 4 digit number). Besides that, two factor is a bit of a joke in an app (on your phone) that caches you

We may have the technology to fully automate babysitting, dog walking, or sunset watching, but should we? This goes beyond simple pleasure... Independence and interdependence also have value.

While it's a great idea to train people for the job skills that are on an upward trend, I feel like the article is being fairly short sighted. Automating away 50% of the workforce won't happen in a vacuum. It will come with major

I'm a bit weary of this statement. Just because we created a institution who's job it is to secretly break laws abroad, does not mean that we don't have the right to say "hey, maybe institutionalizing criminal activity
