Why would they be cheaper? Lab quality would require lab grade testing and safety, and lab grade ingredients, not to mention taxes on recreational drugs are usually astronomical. And I doubt it would be easier to get either since they'

Perhaps it's region dependent, but mopeds in the US typically don't have pedals. This source is from the UK but applies similarly https://www.thebikeinsurer.co.uk/learner-guides/scooter-vs-m...

Agree with the sibling comment. Snapchat, TikTok, Hacker News, and LinkedIn are all social media sites. In the sense that you can only pay attention to one thing at a time, sure, these are competitors to Twitter. But as far as actual conten

If that were true then the Chinese government would have approved the vastly superior mRNA vaccines by now.

>A $10 daily opportunity cost would never deplete your account Well that's assuming you have no expenses. In your example the difference between realizing the opportunity cost or not is the difference between 10 days of runway and

I have a family plan. I can confirm I pay $14.99 per month right now and received an email stating it will increase to $22.99. Perhaps I'm grandfathered into a cheaper plan, but that's my data point.

Whataboutism. Government passing laws on free speech is unrelated to internet platforms enforcing arbitrary rules depending on the outrage mob of the week.

You can compete with Facebook by creating another social media site, as TikTok and Snapchat have demonstrated. Google search has 92% market share. It is an ad monopoly in the areas it controls.

Google employs ~30k software engineers, each making a ridiculously high salary, yet 80% of their revenue comes from ads (a field which they have a monopoly over). The products people use every day (Gmail, maps, search, chrome) are nearly 15

If a user has to go to page 15 to find something useful to them then I would argue that's a bigger failure of the UX/filtering than it is a success of pagination.

I don't see how that solves the issue. A record can be updated for multiple reasons unrelated to the current database query, and any update at all to the record would hide it using the timestamp approach, regardless if the update would

There's only one left because there is no demand for that kind of travel, which is good evidence that people value time over comfort.

This seems trivial to control for. Classify each interaction with cops, e.g. traffic stop, wellness check, house call, etc. Then compare ratings for each classification to see who's performing above/below average.

Not that simple. Something would have to replace all those plastic containers, and it might not be any better. Similar to banning plastic bags, we could replace all our disposable water bottles with higher quality *non* disposable plastic b
