Some people are bad with their finances and may believe that they had outstanding debt. Although your suggestion is entirely plausible, shaking the chains is also plausible. It would at least get me to call the company because the letter is

The example shows the brand name being ranked 1st. For this to be a poor result for the brand it would require cannibalisation rates to be high enough to push the 15/30% fee higher than their margin - that’s not realistic because the a

One of these things is not like the others - and making an “everyone is doing it” kind of statement really understates the seriousness of what Google is doing. Google’s actions here systematically undermine auctions to their direct financia

What also seems to be missed is that it’s trivial to foil such attacks in an automated way. The work required on Apple’s end would be smaller than that of the attackers. Complaints about the proposal seem to overly focus on the reliability

I respect that time brings change, at first I would likely never need to use it and could easily keep it off. However that’s not how things work - and eventually I will be forced to use it to achieve the tasks I achieve today without it. Ad

I wanted a sedan, not a 4WD - if I wanted a 4WD I would have bought that instead. I’m pretty tired of people telling me what is “good” for me. When they don’t know my situation or how I use my tools. The product you’re advocating for exists

Almost certainly used for tourist photo ops above every other use. This seems to be why Malta still have theirs. (You can find the iconic british phone boxes in the streets of Valetta.) All of that said - it’s respectable that they’re looki

That would be a misleading and sensationalist title fitting for a tabloid. It seems entirely reasonable that most, perhaps nearly all, boxes will remain. The consultation process and negligible transfer fee of £1 heavily skew in favour of k

As I review photos of a recent trip to a butterfly house - I can indeed confirm that one should not believe everything they read on the internet. Just because this is not a frequent pose of butterflies doesn’t preclude it from representatio

Aeroplanes have still crashed since the introduction of passenger screening security measures. So since planes can still crash, we shouldn’t have airport security.

Valve is a private company which gives them a lot more freedom in their statements. Apple is a public company, their statements have real and sometimes severe consequences. Eg See the sorts of messes Elon Musk gets himself into

For the author: The solution is to ask for their sources - not to speculate that it’s all a sham (while conveniently also not providing any data to back up such a claim.) Meanwhile a single search pulls a possible source for the 80% figur

Interesting Australia went in the opposite direction: per-type fees are A-ok, but they have the be the true fees. The problem was that vendors tended to make arbitrary minimum fees for using cards which in no way reflected the actual fees t

An adage of computer security: Direct access to a machine = no security. (paraphrased and grossly simplified here.) I feel this extends to surveillance of this type: the threat seems much less important if it can only be conducted when acce

The comprehension issue at hand is that you’ve ignored the quotation marks around “processed foods”, thus you’ve lost the reference to the parent comment which the statement was in reply to. However you have come good and realised that I wa

Same things could be said if one switches the brand names to Nintendo, Sony, Amazon etc. The problem is that your questions are arbitrary and at best approximate the ideas of what you think a monopolist is rather than what is established
