They just installed a couple of these in the Pearl district of Portland, OR. I think on paper it's a great idea, but having only a few in your town means you need to educate a lot of people, and don't have much time to do it (e.g.

Indeed, I observed this because our local grocer asks for your email address when checking out so it can send receipts there. After providing mine it never asked again. It would be really cool if it generated new numbers each time and had

They keep using terms like "Internet Freedom" or "Open Internet", but this isn't so much about the internet as it's about ISPs. They are the gatekeepers of the internet and Net Neutrality requires them to keep

There are a few countries that have been experimenting with heroin clinics that provide not only needles, but the drug itself. Apparently the results have been pretty good so far: http://sciencenordic.com/heroin-clinics-impr

Here's what we do: Give the customer a very short trial (5 minutes) and put them on the plan they want. After a couple hours, come back when the invoice failed to charge (because they have no payment source) and close/forgive the
