If consumer report (or the more general, independent testing lab) is the solution, I wonder if Amazon should buy them or build their own. A trusted source of reviews has proved itself successful with the USB-C cable example and Benson from

The most interesting change that self-flying planes could enable is making small planes & helicopter transportation viable for everyone. Assuming automation progresses to the point where safety is solved (i.e. at least as safe as in a c

At the time, most of the share value was in Yahoo's core business. If this was Microsoft's way to buy a stake in Alibaba, it was a very expensive way to do so.

I'm not convinced that the same thing is happening here. If you look at the aftermath, it seems that the press has curved a hole through the book. The "explosion" seems to be the aftershock of the press hitting the table with

Is there anything I could do in a similar situation? I receive robocalls from several sketchy locations multiple times a day. I installed a call blocker on my phone which sometimes works, but would love to make it stop.
