But why would you want to do the credit card company's work for them? That regulation is in place purely because of political bribery by the credit card industry. The consumer-frie…

This. Canada Post went on strike early winter as a pressure tactic because it knew the company would suffer going into the holiday season. Ultimately, that only screwed over the cu…

It would also seriously stymie innovation. If I risk having to refund an item when I push out improvements, I'm never bothering to push out improvements except bug fixes. I'm also …

I like rapid unscheduled disassemblies as a term for things blowing up.

Sugar is absolutely addictive. And juice is just sugar. Whole fruits are healthy because of the fibers and nutrients in the pulp+skin. The fiber slows absorption and helps with ins…
