Even when a human is piloting a plane it can crash when something happens that wasn't expected. For some cases the 'something' was unrecoverable and nothing could be done to avoid the crash. However in many instances it was human error on top of a mechanical issue that lead to an avoidable crash. People are too quick to discount this case when they imagine scenarios where a computer would crash a plane that a human pilot wouldn't. It works both ways.
With their secret back-room payments to Dell to keep AMD out of their machines. The only thing a monopolist hates more than competition is another monopolist.
Sorry but I don't see the double-edge sword in eliminating inefficient purveyors of goods and services. It saves a lot more people time and money than it does people who have their jobs eliminated.
Considering Trump Jr. has admitted he met with a Russian lawyer (along with Kushner) during the campaign to get dirt on Hillary in combination with the revelation in today's NYT about an email Trump Jr. received specifically saying the information he was about to be provided by the lawyer came from the Russian government, this administration should now be considered captured by a foreign hostile government and thus enjoined from any contact or decision making related to that government until Robert Mueller's investigation has been completed.

In lawsuits, and deservedly so.
The $4.6B donation will go to the Surface team to help improve the drivers.
Actually, Wall Street's obsession is in enriching themselves from the next greater-fool bubble. Bitcoin serves that role nicely.
No thanks for me. But I'm not adverse to Apple making it a user-configurable feature, provided the default is off.
They made what is still the best mouse ever designed.
Expensive, polished and flashy commercials. They should develop a server farm for rendering bullshit.

That comparison is Quick and Spurious.
Smartphones just distracted one a bit.
Live by the sword, die by the sword.
I wonder if Qualcomm will share that library too.
No, it's a $499 coral reef incubator.

Many of Samsung's and LG's.
911 is a joke on your Chinese phone.
Except it would be the only type of war Republicans would vote against.
Those are excellent points, thanks.
Nothing prevents someone from re-opening a business in the sticks after Amazon decides to stop shipping to it. A market is a fluid thing.

First your stat is wrong - according to a WaPo story (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2014/05/12/whats-in-your-wallet-probably-not-cash/), 20% of people carry nominal amounts of cash, with 7% carrying >=$100.
And how does the average percentage of people who carry cash have any relevance to how untraceable and thus dangerous it is to carry?
Which makes it a more desirable target than credit cards or checks. That's why it's more dangerous to carry than the alternatives.
Antitrust laws forbid monopolistic behavior. A very large corporation by itself does not represent monopolistic behavior.
