Your logic and worldview are all inverted. You buy ailing companies and then cut fat. That's the plan, not evidence of a bad decision. What was happening to Nokia WITHOUT getting bought and gutted? They were in a tailspin and had major

Look at maps showing availability and locality to family planning resources and abortion clinics - plus abortions stopped being fun a few years ago. Who's to say that these people were in their present state since the choice to follow

Ooooh. Like the parking spot auction app? Comcast sets up a company to handle cancellations and charges fees for it. Then, they make their cancellation procedure so arduous that people pay to leave. Then, they sell a subscription to the ser

I am cancelling your response service. Are you empowered to do this? Can I speak to your supervisor? The goal is to cancel/get service/refund/etc with as little wasted time and energy as possible. They have scripts and proced

Aaaaah! Get meta!!! We can all appreciate the value of having this recording be available as a learning opportunity for consumers. If you have the sense to know you are being strung along, become the questioner and outflank the rep every ti

Let's see... he's a human with his opinions, knowledge, and internet access. He can claim whatever he wants. It's the same thing that gives you the right to ride quixotically in to win the internet for billionaires everywhere

If you are somewhere that network connectivity is an issue, there are usually free parking spots and no laundromats. I guess oasis vending machines could feasibly be an issue, but you're now hoping that some niche market solves some of

Did you sense any irony when you read "Run to Walmart to buy our tinfoil hats." ? I'd posit that the OP has a focus of concern. If they read your comment, you've likely just sent them over the edge into cape-wearing-radi

Big agra has been able to shrink the cost per calorie at a rate which has kept food costs in check, so I'm not sure I can allow the assumption of increased costs being a given. We can talk portion of costs, relative costs, or per capit

I was unclear. I agree with this and was trying to say essentially this. Rich and powerful can try to contain those at the bottom through various means, but eventually those means won't be able to contain them.

Progressive taxation on wealth (not income). Then, mess with the curve of progressiveness. Generating income becomes the unbridled thing. Sitting on mountains of wealth becomes futile. No dynasties. What have you done for me lately? You can

Quick, somebody put together the app that does some Bayesian work to score people and their quotes, research, funding, etc. to show on a scale where their tendencies would be expected to be for a given next statement. Let's get META!!!

It creates supply! (It doesn't. It stratifies the haves from the have-nots efficiently.) Ice after a storm? Definitely let market forces dictate who keeps insulin cold and who sips chilly mint julips. This is the underlying issue with

Your description shows that you little understand the interests of the unwashed losers who envy you so much for being a nerd. You're part of a gentrification. You are implanting something which destroys what those before you loved and

I see a disconnect between balance of dependencies vs. the minimum required to yield the target result. A lack of focus on the thing you are trying to show... coding skill/efficiency around the game problem. The tight piece should be a

This period was a text-book case of the use of fear as a tool to unwind the spirit of American freedoms. Literally, from peoples' mouths, "Better to lose some freedoms than to be scared."

Coinbase and BitPay signing up new retailers doesn't provide me additional belief that bitcoin is viable. The retailer doesn't believe in bitcoin. They get cash out ASAP. For a retailer, if they think they can move units by partne

Excellent. Hope this gets support and more attention. I'm getting tired of explaining how hand-waving about probabilistic magic of subatomic behavior is successful guessing of reality without explaining it.

I definitely prefer seeing him discuss the realities of the situation and pontificating there vs. his pontificating on the visionary stuff.

I would appreciate a couple examples showing more typical bitrates at 256kbps and 320kbps. I like what it is, but there's this lossy difference between the argument being made and reality. Now, if I could get a copy of the intended arg

Maybe people don't care if you can't afford the price of something. It's not everyone else's responsibility to ensure your entitlement to travel on your limited budget. Stay home and make something of it instead of vomit

I hope it doesn't end up like playing balance a bubble to keep things from constantly sliding around. You think people's motion sickness from iOS7's parallax lock screen was something? But I would love to see solid, intuitive

You can rebirth yourself in this life at any time. Run (towards or away). When you can't run, fight. When you are beaten in the fight, become reborn. For every group of 1, 100, 1 million people who you think see you as a failure, there
