Yep, plus arbitrage isn't "taking over", no more than "retail is taking over the manufacturing". It's just a characteristic of healthy stock exchanges. Is there a cap on the growth of the blockchain? Since ever

As far as I understand, whether it is "sold by Amazon" or by a third party, they put the same products with the same ID in the same bins. Traceability is thus broken, and whichever origin you've selected, they take it from th

Vendors (from Samsung to even clothing companies) make agreements with retail stores to have the same price in shops and online. Otherwise online would be cheaper and retail would refuse to list more expensive SKUs. The only ways to bypass

With OEM Windows, everything can be expected, from bloatware "drivers" slowing down your machine by half to obligatory root certificates (thanks Lenovo! thanks DELL!) that are necessary to serve you in-browser ads. And you're

Interesting suggestion. I dream of the same things. It's pretty obvious the fate of Dell is currently capped by the features of Linux. Their effort on the hardware is currently enough to convince, but the OS is still what makes peopl

Wekan is really a copy of Trello, it's awesome. Installing it through Sandstorm.io makes it very easy, but I don't have production experience with Sandstorm.io.
