I think you are confused, Shkreli's company owned retrophin, the toxoplasmosis drug, not epi-pen's. And as the parent commenter said, he was charging insurance companies alone, and claimed the drug was only used by a few hundred p

I was initially bothered, particularly with the rounded corners. However since the X has nearly the same size display as the plus phones, really the area that is rounded off is just extra pixels. I'm not missing out on anything by havi

It scares me that there are people who think any type of resistance against the government would be hopeless, and would prefer to disarm the public for a false sense of security. One thing I don't get is that those who are anti-gun don

So you are suggesting we just accept enslavement? Can you explain to me how that isn't stockholm syndrome? I'm sorry but even if the odds are zero, I among many others would rather go down fighting to protect our liberties. These

Most if not all smartphones have a fixed aperture. A lower F-stop allows more light to enter through the lens. This is advantageous in low light but during the day it may cause pictures to wash out. Because ISO can only go so high before mi

Interesting, if there is one thing I hope Apple takes away from this, it is the adjustable aperture. But time will tell whether a moving part will last long on a smartphone. Though I fear that, like with Google's dual CMOS, they are to

That first link does not even demonstrate what the article title claims. Apple offered assistance in the same way it always has, providing iCloud access logs, IP's, etc. They did not help the FBI unlock the phone. The other errors they

They actively remove posts from that sub when they hit the front page.

Reddit is not even pretending to be fair and balanced. They lean far to the left (or pander to them) and the front page is often filled with anti-Trump, pro-Democrat propaganda. Free and fair discussion is a lost cause on that platform, 45

I'm skeptical that this discovery is anything but political. There is far too much psuedo-science recently pushing the idea of non-whites inhabiting Europe before whites. I don't understand the goal of such flaky publishings, but

That dataset is limited, it’s vast and accurate for around 100 years then the quality and data points drop exponentially the further back you look. Plenty of people agree that there is not enough data to draw conclusions about such a comple

Consensus is not conclusive. It takes a special kind of hubris for someone to think they understand climate change with the minute dataset we have. We don't have enough data to guess next month's weather let alone the possible eff

My response to the parent comment was why they are forcing their modems on people, not regarding the JS injection, which I was equally horrified to see. There is a reason I keep JS disabled by default.

There is a reason they are doing this. After signing up for Xfinity I noticed that the modem we were leasing was broadcasting a public access point with no way to disable it. I purchased my own modem immediately. Then some time later they r

There are Republicans all over California, in fact the only blue districts are the major population centers. I anticipate they will vote with the party, as in either case once the Tax Bill passes their blue constituents won't be happy.

I'd like a citation on your first statement. All things considered, I don't believe either state is contributing more than they get back. If you like to contribute to those services, you are more than welcome to, but they should n

Understandably most people in high-tax states would be upset by this, but I see it a as a positive overall. This will put more pressure on those states to reduce their tax rates, lest they lose the workers. Ultimately, I don't think th

Diesel trucks with sleepers are not cheap, brand new they cost upwards of $150,000. If Tesla's price point is $250-300k I think it would be fair.

No he's being down voted by sensible people who believe in punishment that fits the crime. Putting a murderer to death will not bring back those lost, but at least it may deter others from doing the same.

There is absolutely no evidence to suggest that (outside of the Clinton camp and Podesta) and given Wikileaks track record, it's highly unlikely.

No I read the whole thing. He has done far more than many in his position, and you are downplaying that. This type of self-gratifying, armchair criticism is precisely the thing that nobody cares to hear.

Way to downplay the significant success of one of the most prominent magnates in modern history. This blogpost certainly doesn't make you come off as a tremendous moron.

Can someone explain to me why a news website needs HTTPS? Barring pages that require entry of financial information, why would you need to encrypt this kind of traffic? Is people snooping on what news articles you read a real concern? Genui

Through no fault of their own, white people now have a harder time getting into universities, medical schools, and even employment compared to a lesser qualified minority. This is terribly regressive, and no doubt a result of leftist pressu

Hate to piggyback but I noticed that whenever this service gets posted on Reddit there are dozens of accounts that reply addressing Scott by name and have little to say. Upon checking their comment history, I saw that most users hadn't
