Trade is an essential ingredient for a functioning society. Just because quantity is fixed and prices are high shouldn't mean the solution to the negative side effects is to just do away with the whole thing. As a thought exercise, wha

The core problem seems to be false advertising. It would be great for the author to take the company to small claims court and try to address that. However, a class-action lawsuit to address all the wronged people would probably just bankru

What a tone-deaf response from the cofounder! The article paints in painful detail how the website claims one thing and the contractual terms do the opposite, resulting in the user being suckered by fine print. Literally, this is a problem

Once you provide interpretation, you are picking and choosing. That's an easy vehicle for manipulation of public opinion, and is exactly why so many people lament the current state of journalism (not that the past was any brighter).

A few suggestions: 1) Call your cellphone carrier and ask to set up a password/PIN to be used for when you call into the customer service phone number. 2) Consider your phone number and SIM card insecure. The phone carriers are ignorin

The first thing that caught my eye was the gap in the middle of the bridge. A rather rare sight in reality, so the presentation of such a rendering comes across as a form of lying. I completely missed the curved train cars! Thanks for point

One of the problems is the credits initiative for startups (I'm assuming that's how this customer ended up running on credits.) Companies have to grow to quite a big size before they consider offering various discounts and program

General opinion seems to be that this is a bad thing but I disagree. Modern life offers us much more than we'd get by being farmers. We also need fewer farmers because of automation and large-scale farming. People want to move to urban

If we're going to use ad blockers, at least let's admit to what we're doing and not claim a moral high ground. You're implying the creator of the website is okay letting you receive the service or content on your terms.
