His heirs should take a hard look at themselves. Then again, maybe they did and all they found was need.

Yes, that is food for thought. Although the Amazon situation doesn't fit the fake-yelp-reviews-about-a-hotel scenario because one's Amazon competitors are nearly infinite and constantly changing, whereas there are only a geographically limited number of restaurant or hotel competitors to pillory.

I feel unaffected by such fake reviews as the only ones I ascribe much value to are the negative ones. Also, I've extremely curtailed any purchasing on Amazon as I've come to perceive the majority of their marketplace to be a degenerative crap house.

Audible has only two of his works: "Lenin's Kisses", and "The Four Books". Does anyone have recommendations on other audiobook sources for his works?

I would hazard that Japanese "scientists" must have vaults crammed with this stuff.

On a similar note, why did the Hacker News podcast perish?

Good to know. Does LastPass have such a feature?

Also, if you aren't rich and can't afford security work arounds, your paltry bank accounts can't be seriously injured by bad government actors who might be tempted to sell your info to identity thieves.

You're quite right. I had regrets after posting that knee-jerk comment. Oddly, my dissatisfaction is heightened by the ridiculous number of upvotes I received from that post. I shall strive to improve.

Privacy Commissioner John Edwards had some influence over the drafting of the legislation and said he was "pretty comfortable" with where the law stood... "You know when you come into the country that you can be asked to open your suitcase and that a Customs officer can look at everything in there."

Evidently, severe brain damage is no hindrance to securing a commissioner's appointment in New Zealand.

The anesthesiologist for a family member's out patient tonsillectomy was the sole out of network component in the procedure. When they remonstrated that we should have known, I responded that maybe we should have checked if the orderly, the valet, et cetera was in-network.

My objection is that Musically is a social network. Inherently, its Chinese ownership renders it government spyware, the only kind of chat app permitted under the regime.

Thanks to this article I'm now aware that Musically is Chinese. That's all the info I need to explain to my kid why it needs to be deleted from her phone. Thank you, Bloomberg!

Escape from samsara is an entirely ideological concept and a basic pillar of the Buddhist religion.

As a U.S. citizen myself, I was under the impression that accelerating wealth inequality was the no-longer-so-tacit woof and weave of our culture.

The site was so abominably overrun with cruft and vicious pop-ups that I never even got to the auto-run video. Maybe after some ad-hunters go in and decimate the place, I might consider revisiting.

Or consider Woody Allen's perspective on health science in his futuristic comedy "Sleeper".

Maintenance costs are not going to drive up costs for Uber/Lyft. It will just increase driver churn once they've been wrung out of their maintenance subsidy gift to these platforms.

Sounds like the prime situation for a counter suit.

If the patent on Palmer Eldritch's Can-D has expired, there may be an opportunity for someone to market a generic.

Turkish Delight as preposterously described by C.S.Lewis: "Each piece was sweet and light to the very center and Edmund had never tasted anything more delicious."

It's a surprise that giving one's username and password to these plugins abdicates one's privacy?

What's more surprising is the ability to earn a living by pinning one-sentence opinions to synopses of other writers' articles.

It's not a political rant to point out that the USPS operates on a different (and often insensible) plane because it is a government bureau. The poster's comment isn't off topic. Although her/his post is merely anecdotal and not statistically significant, it may ring familiar to others' encounters with that organization. Your post is more of an interruption here than is hers/his. Consider my post as a vector of your derailment.

School's name and professor's name please, just so your comment has evidence. ;)

They're becoming the stale monolith that Jobs once derided in IBM.

>Bullshit. They have one of the hottest stock request IPOs out there. A year ago their estimated market cap was $50B. Now its estimated at $70B. Sure doesn't sound like a no-profit company.

So, Uber has outperformed Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities LLC's one-time market cap of $64B.

Your comments about intolerance and toxicity is sequitur to what? Am I missing a deleted post or a radical edit to the parent to yours?

Will Germany be applying the same enforcement to these standards that they applied to VW and emissions?

Everyone there too rich for jailtime?

Watching that is tantamount to reading Act II from The King in Yellow.
