That's an argument for a different question, which is "should we allow people to waste electricity if they pay for it?". If your answer is that we should regulate what people are allowed to use electricity for, then we'l

This is an oversimplification of why aeroponics or any form of hydroponics is great. A few of the most notable benefits: 1) Growing density - you use a lot less square footage by growing up! 2) Can grow anywhere - you control a ton of the v

I think this misses the points from the original post, the most critical IMO are: (1) Recipient generally doesn't know they're being tracked. Even in the argument that 'email is catching up to IM', the recipient always k
