Michael: Okay, I know what you're thinking. Birth is a curse, and existence is a prison. But don't think about that. Don't be sad, you guys. Focus on something great like Drakkar Noir which I am wearing a lot of tonight. Or the Sharper Image Catalog. What can't those guys ionize?
Well... They are paid so little that they need food stamps, are scheduled for 1-2 hours less that full time to avoid paying for their health insurance...
The same can be said for most Walmart employees...
Trojan Newer Roman condoms look a lot like regular condoms, but each is subtly altered to make your penis look 5 to 10 percent bigger, without having to actually make it bigger. "Trojan: Rome wasn't built in a day, but it will feel that way."
>> Investors and insiders have long cited Amazon's size and reach as reason to break the company up.
OK, I know journalists don't usually graduate at the top of the class, but it seems unlikely that people who own ("investors") or work for the company ("insiders") want Amazon broken up. I'd suspect the people who really want this to happen would be "competitors", "labor advocates" and most especially "attorneys".
And Trump - 'cause he hates Jeff Bezos (and pretty much anyone else named Jeff at the moment).
[ Though I imagine Bezos would probably still be the majority shareholder in *all* the broken company pieces and that could potentially make him even more wealthy... So be careful what you wish for Donald. ]
There have been continuous price increases in the United States.... Cans of Tuna, for example, went from 6.5 ounces to 6 ounces and the reduction continued to 3 ounces. They found a weakness in the customers. The customer may remember the price, but may not notice that the can size has been reduced by 0.5 ounce, and the amount of water has increased.
Similarly, toilet paper went from being (typically) 4.25" x 4.25" to slightly smaller (and now often not square) without a price reduction - which is, effectively, a price increase. People often simply shop by package price w/o noticing the unit values.

That doesn't make sense. Haven't you seen all those ancient Roman statues? All of the penises are tiny.
Well... marble is pretty cold.
"Does this dress make me look fat?"
The *correct* answer is: I love you regardless of how you look.
You realize that means "yes" - right? :-)

In the world's most famous thought experiment, physicist Erwin Schrodinger described how a cat in a box could be in an uncertain predicament.
Compared to the second most famous, but ironically similar: "Does this dress make me look fat?"
Where your relationship is also in an "uncertain predicament" -- being both dead and alive -- until the question is answered.

I don't think you understand how things work.
You say that we *already* hold people to account; who do you think writes the algorithms? Now go away "Dr." Hannah Fry (the report author).
Among the financial firms Facebook is said to have argued with about customer data are American Express, Bank of America, and Wells Fargo.
If Wells Fargo had a problem with it, something's definitely hinky.

“Our network NBC has the most nominations of any broadcast network,” Mr. Che said. “Which is kind of like being the sexiest person on life support.”
Government should not advocate for large business and enterprises but for individual people.
But, but, but... Corporations are people - I remember hearing and reading about that. We were told to "get over it".

Why do we measure in lines of code? Serious question.
LOC is an important metric, for quantifying both progress and complexity.
And yet, LOC doesn't necessarily quantify either progress or complexity.
