    Not many glasses frames fit me properly, I have to try them on.

    All of these solutions are *online*. I cannot buy glasses online.

    The only requirement I have is that I be able to try on glasses before I buy them. Where can I find glasses for $25 at a place that allows that?

    You know you're right, people really did mess up any attempt at communism; but that has nothing do do with this.

  6. A lot of people don't like looking like dweebs iPhone fanbois in public if they can help it.

    Yeah I don't like the online shopping experience.

    I have a very wide head. When I try on glasses, only one in twenty even look right on me. I can't order them online. So show me a place where I can try them on locally and get them for $25 and I'll be there.

    An important factor to consider is the number of people who fly successfully every day for every one that dies. You can't call something a failure if it works statistically close to 100% of the time. The important thing is that each crash be investigated and if there was a gap to the regulations that contributed to this we will close those gaps and keep it as close to 100% as possible in the future.

    Soon self driving will need the same kind of system or it will never work either.

    This is the invisible hand of unregulated capitalism.

  11. Bezos owns Amazon which owns Whole Foods. Of course his wealth factors into the equation. This is why the wealthy never contribute to anything; we always draw these lines and give them a pass.

  12. How much more than "the average joe" do their executives make? I seem to remember one of them being the richest man in the world.

  13. So did they ask the employees what they wanted?

    To be fair, I am properly being more cautious than most. I work for a small company that wanted an iPhone app and I am basically being entrusted with this laptop. I'm not prepared to hand it back to them with a USB-C port fried and explain that Apple refused to fix it.

    Socialism weighs the punishment for the corporation by the true human cost with no regard given to the financial health of said business afterwards.

    I've been reading some feature comparisons, and they both seem to do the same thing. Keynote just spoon feeds you Apple's design better.

    Mag-safe only worked if you were using your laptop on a desk. Otherwise it would fall out at random times. And I don't buy a laptop to use at a desk.
