It is called an "End User License Agreement", most users check the box without reading it. To give Goog some credit, they do tend to state their intent plainly(not legal jargon) in the first couple paragraphs. Of course, sometimes

After witnessing the last 20 years online, I agree. Decentralized systems just don't squeeze enough blood from the stone, apparently. You may be interested in "The Master Switch" for some historical examples of previous mediu

Fellow Zoni here, and a moon-lighting HVAC service tech. To clarify a common misconception, A/C refrigerant does not cool air even though that is the net result. It actually absorbs heat and releases it outside the strucure. Sorry fo

To add to your counter-point, the consumer also gets rent-seeking companies locking the consumer into a proprietary system to extort you to pay more, more often(eg:Intuit). That is, if the provider doesn't shut down the platform b&#x2F

I don't recall the title ATM, but he laid out a pretty thorough description on how ADM & Monsanto have gamed the system. So when people talk about farmers+subsidies is good to know a large % goes to those two companies. If memory s

I cannot help but suspect the recent "stealthing" headlines following Comey's(?) 180° turn against Wikileaks is part of the campaign. Sure, it is an abhorrent act and justifiably prosecutable, and just so happens to be what S

Anyone have a source for this oft claimed fact? Retail to spot spread is averaging $.50-$.70/gallon for 86 octane with $.20-$.30 added for each premium tier in PHX. Does adding detergent & transport eat up that much margin?
