    Is it really faster to search through hundreds of open tabs than it would be to just do the search for the thing you need using one of the search engines? I just can't wrap my mind around flipping through hundreds of web pages when a fresh search is so easy.

  11. Re:So the question is this: on Amazon Granted a Patent That Prevents In-Store Shoppers From Online Price Checking (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Retail store fronts are amazon's competition. Amazon could license the tech and help their competition while making money from licensing fees, or they could refuse to license it to anyone and that would help kill brick and mortar stores, thereby amazon. But which way is better for amazon in the long run?

    Maybe amazon feels it is useful for brick and mortar stores to exist, as their de facto showrooms. Plenty of people have gone to look at something in a brick and mortar store, then gone home and ordered it via amazon.

  12. So the question is this: on Amazon Granted a Patent That Prevents In-Store Shoppers From Online Price Checking (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Are they patenting it so they can license it, or so they can prevent others from doing it by not licensing it?

  13. Your dentist takes BP because many patients see a dentist much more often than they see a physician. If a dentist finds your BP is high he will suggest you let your physician know about it. Also, depending on the procedures he/she is planning to do, the BP is a go/no-go type measurement.

    it means more of our crap, literal and figurative, is going to end up in the ocean. When I get depressed thinking about this I just want to turn on the "fake news" and hear about the latest Trump scandal, then the future of the oceans/earth doesn't seem so awful.

    What do I care if the earth sucks in 15-20 years? By then I will surely have died in a labor camp or chained to a wall in one of Trump's dungeons. We deserve the future that is surely coming because as a species we are too stupid to work toward ensuring our own survival.

    Electing Trump was like burning down your house because you didn't like the color of the walls. Electing Clinton would be like repainting the walls with a color you don't like. Neither solution is optimal, but the second still leaves you with a place to live.

    I think the "we" that the author is referring to is people who make decisions based on reality. That doesn't necessarily exclude conservatives. That only means you have some intelligence and maybe even a little common sense.

    The forces of disinformation are neither liberal nor conservative. They are anarchists. No one with any intelligence and anything to lose wants anarchy.
