Terrible reporting. Improving health outcomes by AI analysis of patient data is a much bigger prize - morally and commercially - than anything which could be achieved through ad targeting. Google is far too smart to squander such an opportu

The last time I had a problem with ATT I had to make multiple calls and spent over an hour in total on hold. How would you charge for that? I'd have gladly paid for someone to take that pain away. There's probably a viable busines

Some features of the quoted 'Austrian School's theory' seem remarkably close to Bitcoin: it "arises out of an unplanned, decentralized process. This takes time. It takes a lot of time. It spreads slowly, as new people di
