If that were true Google would not have banned fake Adsense clicker. I have experience in FB market and I can tell you that none of us care about Likes. We care about eventual conversion (What % of people called up to know about our product

True. It is like saying Windows has far more viruses than Linux and MacOS but often it is because of incentives and market share rather than lack of efforts on parts of MS to curb viruses. But I don't think FB has put lot of efforts. I

Honestly these lies do not matter. Let people buy what they want without government using our money to subsidize anything. In the long term facts win because they are self evident. I find it disgusting that rich people get $8K per Tesla.

Letting markets function has helped poor countries like India, China and even North Korea. Making decisions on behalf of poor people has hurt poor even in the richest countries like USA. Common sense to me. There is always an issue of law a

I think Philip Morris would not be wrong here. The problem here is the difference in values that individuals have. A lot of us might think of wasting time of Facebook or Casino is a bad idea but for many people it would not be the case. Fac

Shallow journalism by Guardian. More access to medical care means more people go to hospitals and live longer and hence there is a good chunk of deaths that were preventable if doctors or hospitals did better. This is not same as saying &#x

I think the above example illustrates why a malpractice insurance pool might be a bad idea. The one who makes the mistake must pay up. This will ensure those who make less mistakes will succeed at faster rate.

I am unable to why the state must pay compensation here. It should be the Hospital. It looks to me that State and Hospitals have colluded to create this $900M fund while reducing risk for Hospitals and not giving anything to the patients. C
