So a student?

Would such a move be enough to not be under the jurisdiction of the Eastern District? Google doesn't have any store there yet that doesn't stop any patent troll.
I think a better example would be losing a partner vs losing a distant relative, snapping a nail sounds like apple and oranges.

Your link doesn't support your thesis, and I don't know of any place that have such policy, except probably shitty places that didn't have good services in the first place.
> but lets not pretend like a more objective version of this study would have ever happened

Precisely, because a more objective version would have found no effect whatsoever.

On the flip side, if it wasn't Amazon mentioned but pets.com, they were entirely right.
Is there actually any reason why we should allow pet stores to sell animals at all? Even outside of radical animal rights, it seems like a breeding ground for terrible conditions for the animals.

Just a correction, but it's a project of the European Space Agency, not NASA.
Well, if they haven't included any connection to other books, people could complain that it's too self-contained, there is no way to win.

Re:A Euro Tragedy on Sunday June 03, 2018 @11:24AM (#17219966)
There'd still be a mental overhead though, and it's notwithstanding the fact that the euro is more than twenty years old, at a time where paying by credit card often meant someone was physically copying your card number and details so it's unsurprising that they didn't account for that fact.
Re:A Euro Tragedy on Sunday June 03, 2018 @10:52AM (#17219795)
An often overlooked point is that euro is not just an economic tool but also a social one, as being able to travel and pay freely in the whole continent is an important unifying point.
Re:Traders with Pockets Full of Crypto Quit Wall Street on Wednesday May 30, 2018 @07:37AM (#17186832)
> “You’ve seen a bifurcation internally at many larger houses where senior managers are very skeptical about crypto, while graduates and younger team members are very positive,” said Grimsley. “The youngsters may have less intellectual baggage and may be more open-minded, but they also have less responsibility for managing risk and working out the practicalities of bolting on crypto to the existing business.”

It's a very telling quote and you are left wondering to which extend bitcoin suffers from youthful exuberance instead of the sometimes boring pragmatism of making it profitable.

He was specifically talking about proof of work though, which indeed is inherently wasteful. And seeing the whole block size issue, it seems impossible bitcoin would ever move away from proof of work.

Re:Strange and maddening rules on Tuesday April 24, 2018 @10:14AM (#16912714)
The issue is that while the OP might be wrong, someone searching for that exact problem might not and it's extremely infuriating to have those unhelpful comments cluttering your search results.
I never understand this problem, I'm friend with people I'm actually friend with and the ones that annoys me I just unfriend or unfollow. What's hard about that?
Re:Musk says Tesla will be profitable in Q3 and Q4 on Saturday April 14, 2018 @08:31AM (#16837032)
I think you what you are seeing is just pushback from years of Tesla Hype, just a couple of years ago it wasn't rare to read almost messianic message on how Musk was going to save the world.

That being said, I think you are being somewhat hyperbolic, most of the comments on Tesla posts are asking the though questions, not really putting it down.
