With the food delivery and meal kits and stuff, they were just selling that stuff for less than it costs. I provided thousands of dollars of revenue for Blue Apron style meal kits and food delivery. As soon as they charged market rate for t

Another reason that the authorities don’t care is that their bosses, the politicians, often partake in child sex abuse as a hobby (cf. Jeffrey Epstein and his very close links to Prince Andrew, his links to Donald Trump, and his acquaintanc

I downloaded several thousand ebooks and read about 10 of them. I’ve also bought more ebooks than I’ve pirated and read, and the ones that I didn’t read barely even happened... just a transfer of bits from one drive to another.

Another approach is the manufacturer showroom. They don't care where you buy it so they just try to induce the demand.

That’s totally fine. They’ve been able to do that for 200 years and it hasn’t proved worth the cost.

No, it’s the 21st century reality of needing to protect yourself from insurance companies looking to spy on your house to set your insurance rates.

Of course it’s the coverups that’s the problem! I do not fault the Catholic Church for the fact that priests raped children. I fault them for not immediately turning all evidence to the state, rather than simply moving the priest from the p

The old way: tracking you as you look for snowboarding videos on the Web and advertising you a snowmobile wherever you go. The new way: making sure that 95% of the snowboarding videos you see are subliminally designed to sell you a snowboar

The distinction of the "start from scratch" process is that it would nullify the case law accumulated since 1789 which a heavy amendment would not do.

The 4th Amendment obviously doesn't comment on public-key encryption but it clearly wasn't designed to make it more difficult to investigate crimes (wouldn't investigating crimes be easier with unreasonable search and seizure

In what ways is the “pacing” of Snow Crash a “mess”? Not really familiar with the concept of pacing. Thanks

This isn't going to get solved. The reason that these movies aren't online is basically a lack of clarity on the IP rights to sell the movies as streaming. None of the contracts between the parties in the 70s had any provisions fo

That's fine, if you've created something worth that much money, go get your 22 years of copyright. But the chances that you'll be there in year 32 are pretty damn low indeed and zero in year 42.

That’s just wrong that you got gentle ribbing if it was your fault that a worm got served to a diner. I’d prefer to eat at restaurants where such an employee was fired or severely castigated for such a screwup, but in private, and not with

This is not a historically unsolved problem. It just has to get to the point where enough poor people are starving, and then the rich plus a lot of random bystanders just get killed in a mass event.

We never had a solid state machine and only had single tape machines. I think at the low end they were quite common through the 90s, unless we had one that lasted a long time and also had the 90's styling in the 80s, which could be the
