I initially read that as the tour costing $2 billion. Seems a bit steep!

I have to accept that the value of the work I do may change in time, either up or down. Why do people in the music industry not have to accept that as well? Why are they entitled to the same economics decade after decade, while the rest of

Everyone is very focused on the contrast between the Radio royalties and the Streaming royalties - but we all skipped right past that first item: $149,000 in royalties for writing a song (just the first 3 years). That's a lot of money

Right, all things considered they're still less carbon intensive than and ICE car, especially with a few hundred thousand miles on the odometer. People seem to conveniently forget that an ICE car requires a lot of carbon to manufacture

I've heard people say that one reason why we shouldn't bother with electric cars is that they still generate a lot of carbon from their production supply chain. All the minerals and metals mined, the parts being shipped around, th

Sure, but has there been a single case of someone's bank account being robbed because they lost their phone, and someone went through the effort to collect and impersonate their fingerprint to unlock it? You could be shot at random t

Never? If Jason Bourne is after you that's probably true. If you're worried about border security, that's maybe true. But for most people, the lock on their phone isn't protecting them from the government, it's prot

This feature exists in my Jaguar XF. Similar to the cruise control, you can set a 'max speed' and the car will simply not accelerate past that speed. I don't think I've tried flooring it to see if it would let me exceed

Anecdotal experience buying on Amazon recently: Bought a new induction cooking pan. A nice one at $90. Didn't really pay much attention to who was selling it, just bought it like I do everything else from Amazon. It took about two week
