Disagree. I have been driving Kia for 2.5 years. I think the UX is quite good. I would assume that most people who live in a city would want to know when the Kia is unlocked at home. I think your dislike of that feature may reflect your res

False. There is no Economic Law of Consolidation such as you posit here. Haircuts are a mature market, yet plenty of small providers thrive. Counterexamples to your extraordinary claim abound. The actual economics in highly competitive mark

Oh come on. So you're rooting for the evil genius in the comic book movie? You would harm millions of people to move up the financial success yardstick? I don't think many people would agree with such positions. I do think that pe

There are two basic topics: 1. Talk about them. Start by paying attention to them. Then when you notice something that was clearly an intentional choice on their part, say something nice about it. Listen carefully to what they say, and foll

It's not complicated. That random garbage increases advertising revenues. Maybe not from every user, but certainly in the aggregate.

Many people do not know that Impact Factor is gameable. Unethical publications have gamed it. Therefore a higher IF may or may not indicate higher prominence. Use Scimago journal rankings for non-gameable scores.

The question is what average; some people apparently view "in the US" as implying US population-level averages (which it does not explicitly imply), whereas authors report the average within adopting households, which for this stu
