Myth: The No-Fly list includes an 8-year-old boy. Buster: No 8-year-old is on a T.S.A. watch list. No, the boy is not on the list. It's that other suspicious adult who's "on the list." Which is disingenuous, because anyone who shares a na

Wow, what a metaphor. I suppose we could get China to accept them for recycling.

I'm sure there's measurable truth in what you say, I was just boiling it down. Not trying to slight Google at all. But, the prospect of profit makes it much easier to convince yourself that your product is a force for good.

No. You think tax preparers are specifically the ones keeping the current tax regime in place? No. It's Congress. We will never have a simplified tax code, ever. Not a flat tax, not a fair tax, not a VAT, nothing. Because Congress will neve

Sorry, totally not what I meant, although I can see how it could be understood the way you did. I just wanted to see further discussion of co-founder vs. employee (#1). I tried to ask it in an enthusiastic way. This is why I'm single, I gue
