>> Probably the reason they're pulling a dick move and forcing everyone to Enhanced Campaigns which That's not a "dick move," it's calculated. They're betting you will not leave si…

There was a discussion on "How Google is Killing Organic Search" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5971560 by essentially having all ads on the first page. I wonder for how long…

Microsoft then bought out Skype even though it was clear it was non-profitable. Lots of non-profitable companies are bought all the time. Skype had hundreds of millions of users an…

IANAL, but it seems like there is so much precedent against vehicle searches that it's staggering that TSA thinks this is acceptable. Every case I've read related to vehicles indic…

The government repeatedly made accusations of terrorism against Anwar — who was also an American citizen — but never charged him with a crime. No court ever reviewed the government…
