There's 15 results for anti-vaccination when you search for vaccination. While it's the majority of the search results I don't think one could call 15 results out of the millions of books Amazon carries to be thriving.
The only thing that I might object to is if Amazon lets sponsored posts link to objectionable content such as anti-vaccination books.
Going to a specific song and replaying a song are a pain in the ass with tapes. You can duplicate a tape easily but copying a songs off a number of different tapes is more bothersome. It's not difficult work but just tedious trying to find the start of each song.
I bought a portable CD player when I was in university and it rarely skipped. It was like a Sony Discman. To keep the disc from moving the centre "post" that you placed the CD onto had three ball bearings spread out that would hold the disc in place. Whenever you wanted to take a disc off or put on in they would move in because there were springs behind them. It was a very good design and played CDs quite well. I was very happy with that purchase. I think it was a Panasonic but I can't be 100% sure about it.
I was working at a government office and one web based app was so slow when you went to see a list of transactions. Turns out that the developer who originally wrote the app got two sets of information and in the JavaScript in the client browser looped through the first set and for each item looped through the second set looking for the matching item. When you started to have hundred and even a thousand transactions it took minutes for the page to display. (It was 2005.) So I changed the select so that it joined the data in the database and it got rid of the inner loop in the JavaScript. It sped things up but not as much as I thought it would. That code was crap.
That developer also wrote an app for a photo contest from scratch. Every time that someone submitted a new photo into the contest the app had to be repackaged and deployed. They got an award for all of the overtime they put in on that project, sadly.
But he's only allowed to tweet information that is already public or that he's gotten permission to send out. Nobody previewed his tweet and so he's supposedly providing new information to the market. But is he screwing around with the short-sellers again or is this real information. That's why the SEC is on his case about the tweet.
From the report: "we are targeting annualized Model 3 output in excess of 500,000 units sometime between Q4 of 2019 and Q2 of 2020"
His tweet talks about 2019 which is different. The report says 500k rate over a 9 month period while Elon said they would actually build around 500k cars in 2019.
But we were told it was when Iraq wanted to build nuclear power plants so that they could use them to replace oil fired electricity generators and export the oil instead. The US government wouldn't have lied to us, would they?
I don't know about the US but in my city the cars only have one officer in them. So you need at least a second car at a scene to have a backup for the first officer. Normally the police just get a call about a disturbance or someone causing a problem or something like that. They don't know the scale of the problem so everyone nearby goes to the scene. Better to have too many people there and not need them rather than need someone and not have them. Mind you they do tend to stick around too long after they know they aren't needed.
I once worked in a government department that liked silver bullets. One of the things they tried was moving the development shop to one language, Java. That meant rewriting everything they wrote and even used. Even apps that were running without issues had to be re-written just because it was originally written in C. They even wanted to rewrite the utility formmail.pl that most sites were using at the time just because it used Perl.
My data plan isn't large enough to handle 5G. I'll burn through my limit in a day or two. Besides, anything I do using cell data is so small that it comes back so quickly that I wouldn't really notice a difference between LTE and 5G.
The idea of the tax break for the large corporations was that they would invest the money into their business. They could have expanded their manufacturing lines, performed upgrades to become more efficient, increased their R&D, etc. Instead most firms just took the money and either performed a stock buy back or they increased the dividends to shareholders. Both are completely useless if you want to improve the economy, especially when you are financing it with government debt.
Supply side economics doesn't work. It's been tried for approximately 40 years and there's no reason to think that it would work this time around.
I was reading an article a few years ago about poor people who were getting their benefits with prepaid debit cards and the troubles they have. One other thing than what you've mentioned is that there's a limit on how much cash that they can take out via an ATM in order to pay their rents. So they have have to use the ATM a bunch of times to get enough to pay the rent and each time they use it they get hit with a big access fee.
Grocery stores, at least in North America, put the milk and bread at the back of the store so that customers have to walk through the store to get to them. Items that you are likely to buy at the drop of a hat are placed near the checkout so you see them while waiting. They move all of products around the store in order to get customers to look around for them causing them to see everything else. Higher margin products are placed at eye level. Companies are even charged for this. Stores even manage the music and are looking at aromas to maximize how much you spend.
Restaurants and fast food places use music to control how fast you eat. Faster music tends to make you eat faster. Fast food places tend to use faster music to get a higher turnover.
Lots of online sites offer suggestions for items that go with or alternatives. Amazon isn't unique in that matter.
I wouldn't count on the current SCOTUS behaving like previous versions of the court. If judges were truly unbiased then things would be much better in the US and you wouldn't have to be worried about these type of cases going to the SCOTUS. However, judges are heavily biased based on their background, religion, and political beliefs.
(I'm not trying to troll but it's so weird for me to hear about judges who are Democratic or Republican or that they even lean left or right. The idea of a judge, at least as has been taught to me, is a completely unbiased person who is aware of their biases and tries to remove them from their judgements. In Canada we just refer to our judges as judges, not Liberal or Conservative or anything else.)
Bob the janitor works for minimum wage at another company that won the contract to do the cleaning at the IBM office. He doesn't get the chance to buy stocks at a discount. Next year he'll be out of a job because another company will put in a lower bid when the cleaning contract comes up for renewal.

No, the next big thing will be going back to wax cylinders and the gramophone.

But if it's a cry for help across the street is the right choice.
Am I a bad person if I lol'd at that?

Well, if you keep electing presidents like Trump, we just might be, along with the rest of your allies. /s

So it's okay for the US to take Japanese technology but not for anyone to use US technology! /s
Since some telecoms are slapping 5G on their 4G LTE networks this year they might as well complete the farce and slap on 6G tags next year!

Fooling Facebook users isn't a very high bar of achievement.

And what price are you going to put on the price of a death caused by them not vaccinating their child(ren)?
Just wait until someone figures out a way to combine AI and blockchain! Then you're going to hear hype.
