Comment Re:Dumb precedent. Addiction is on the user. (Score 1) 112

Society is not the governor of science. To become addicted, a chemical from outside of you must enter you, that causes the addiction. No chemical enters you via social media. You already have all of the chemicals, and your own actions cause the release of them. A society cannot officiate whether that is true.

Tell me you know ZERO about biology. Oof. You just did.

She sued McDonalds because the HOT cup didn't warn her HOT coffee is HOT. You can't protect people from their own stupidity.

Except that's not what happened at all. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

Repeating false things without researching them might make you stupid though. :-)

If a map service wants to take payment to make a business show on their map, that's fine. Good, even.

I disagree. Look no further than what Yelp does to see this is a terrible business model for the consumer and the businesses. It's only good for the tech company.

You have to pay Yelp $250+ a month so that competitors ads don't show on your page and that you are listed #1 for your own brand name. If someone is searching for you and you don't pay, you may be #7 on the list for your own brand name. It's mafia tactics.

"without special Apple accelerators"

This is just flat out not true.

But... even if it were the main reason, why would fault Apple for making something that makes it's user's lives better? Your whole argument sounds like "Well, Tommy can only win the race because he runs every day and works out and I don't. If he didn't work out he wouldn't beat me." Your argument is just childish.

Comment We need more, smaller ISPs. Not big ones. (Score 5, Insightful) 59

Where I live there is one ISP. Spectrum. The cost of 1Gbit service is $129 a month. The service sucks. It's always having outages.

Where my brother lives, they have both AT&T and Spectrum. Both carries offer internet for $59 a month to his house.

We need more ISPs. More competition. Less mergers.
