I've seen many economics101 arguments against these tariffs but I actually am cautiously in agreement with them. These are similar to sanctions and China has been gaming the market in it's own favor in various ways for a long time

Google is peerless and your analogy fails to account for the store not being a disinterested 3rd party. The war between AMZN and Google is bad for consumers because of the precedents it sets as well as the actual market effects. A slightly

Facebook is facing hurdles in a lot of arenas but this article is a hit piece that is pretty fluff and misses the big picture. I really dislike facebook for what its worth, but even with the current issues I dont expect it to be more than a

It's ironic that facebook uses its apps (VPN, instagram, messages, fb, fb.com) and position to collect user data on users in a similar way to these people did. Tons of apps and integrations built on facebook shovel data back to faceboo

by wand3r 9y ago
Hulu is a legacy network company and it is absolutely terrible, it disappoints me that so many support it. It is primarily owned by legacy companies (NBC, Comcast, ABC, Disney, 21st Century Fox) and shows commercials even to premium users.
