Sure, by stealing money from the people who have it and giving it to poor people, for a short time you make the lot of the poor better. Now where there were few jobs there are none, and crime has gone from a big problem to a terrible proble

Heh. Home laundry was how I used to describe processor pipelines. "So you put the load from the washer into the dryer, but if you have a second load you don't wait for the first load to finish drying before you put the second loa

A big gap between buying and renting is the classic indication of a speculative housing bubble. You may not want to buy a place in Vancouver right now.

People value free shipping because shipping is a scam in a lot of cases. I used to work for a company that made logistics software. One of our customers was one of those cable channels that hawks merchandise around the clock. You would bu

REI is unusual, and famously gets returns on things like clothing and tents that have been used for months.

He didn't say anything about a defect. The pan arrived and he didn't like it. I don't think that's the same situation as a defect.

Also, cortisol isn't always elevated when stress is the problem. So a negative test result doesn't really tell you anything, and a positive test result tells you something, but you don't know what that something is without a

It's a confusing headline. What the NSA does is probably illegal in every country but the US, but the implication is it's illegal in the US. It's probable they do things that are illegal under US law, but I doubt this is one

>Not holding people accountable because it may look bad is one of the reasons that incompetence festers, and leads to failures like this one. By the same token, finding a scapegoat to punish when something doesn't go right leads to

Changes in technology have made natural gas cheap. But I think that's temporary - twenty years from now we're probably going to regret shuttering our nuclear plants and will be stuck with coal for at least a decade.

There is. They don't do nothing. They run some basic metabolic tests. If there's something specific (like you have pain in a particular place) they'll run more tests. But when your complaint is something like "I don&#

That's just false, and pretty insulting to the medical establishment.

Because as a society we can't spend ten million dollars on every patient with a hard-to-diagnose chronic condition that may just be stress. It just isn't practical.

I agree with this. Legalization, with regulation, is a workable system. Decriminalization engenders disrespect for the law - there are too many inconsistencies.

No, I don't know it. What do you mean?

I agree with that last point. Beyond that the reader and the store could be better integrated. It's surprisingly difficult to, say, find out if any of my ten favorite authors has released a book since the last one I read.

Or AWS itself. Doesn't seem like a good fit for a company like Amazon.

So what you're saying is you can displace an entrenched competitor by putting in enough money to end up with a superior product? That seems... reasonable.

At some point that will happen. Companies can't experience exponential growth indefinitely.

I doubt ULA will exit the launch business in the foreseeable future. Congress will not allow the US to be reliant on a single launcher, and they'll provide enough money to keep Atlas available. ULA isn't out at least until BO has
