Yes and no - while it's taxpayer funded, you don't really have a choice as to whether your tax dollars fund it or not. I would argue that generosity requires intent.

I think it's reasonable too, but it also means I don't want to pony up $150 now to potentially have the seller renege and (hopefully) refund me later. I can make use that $150 between then and now.

As a consumer, the price is whatever I have to pay to receive the product. You seem to be confusing it with revenue.

Yeah, maybe... but what harm would it really do? The Core 2 line was killed off over 10 years ago in 2012.

It sounds like you object to the premise of the study itself, rather than its findings. I'm not really sure what to say on that point. I can tell you that I currently have a Beagle-Border Collie (50/50 per two DNA tests) mix that

There's the other hybrid approach of depending on government funding and generosity (i.e. NPR.) Though I'm not sure that's a great option in this climate either.

I had a thought that I think some people value social media (e.g. Facebook) essentially for this. Like giving up your Facebook profile means giving up your history or family tree or even your memories. So in that sense, maybe people would p

Brave is run by a VC-funded company and will need to show returns eventually. To date, they've tried to make money in a few disappointing ways: - Replacing ads on pages without owner's intervention, under the guise that they were

You might be missing the forest for the trees. Anecdotal evidence does not make a proper study, but, to quote myself "phenomena exists before the related studies do." Oftentimes we (humans) use imperfect, but well-known, figures o

I had a similar experience but found that with a little prodding, I was even able to get it to finish the job. Then it was a little messy, so I asked it to refactor it. Of course, not everything lends itself to this: often I already know ex

They aren't necessarily saying it can replace you. They're saying that even though it's expensive, it's cheaper than your time (which can be better spent on other tasks, as you point out.)

I don't disagree with your main point, but the plural of anecdote is data. Phenomena exists before the related studies do. The link you provided goes on to say: > Antidepressants also affect the balance of neurotransmitters such as
