Just a note on 2.: If your onetime price is equal to just 6 month subscription time, you're going to lose money. Either you're lowballing your onetime payment, or making a subscription too costly. Consider a case where you offer

I can't speak for the Surface 3, but I have owned a Surface Pro 3 for a good while now. I _never_ use the trackpad. Browsing, office, even doing software development can all easily be done using finger and pen (for when you need finer

Mechanical keyboards are like the whiskeys of the keyboard world. They're not for everybody, and can be an acquired taste, but there's a huge amount of people who swear by them. They're also a premium product, so there is a

You're now also a laughing stock of the entire VC industry, you have an insane amount of stock worth absolutely nothing, and you're under investigation for trying to defraud corporate taxes. Oh, and you've also proven that yo

I definitely do too, they are capable of too much for them not to have it. But it should be granted to the entire species, not just to any single orangutan.

There is a big difference between having your rights violated and not having rights at all. The fact that we know the torture practices are wrong is because they violate our rights. We treat apes badly because they have no rights to which

I don't think that's what they mean. My interpretation of that statement would be that rights are conferred to species as a whole, not individuals, and it matters whether the species as a whole can bear legal responsibility. Jus

It's definitely possible that there is no one good definition, but it's a good discussion to have. I applaud that you treat this with your class. The usefulness is debatable. To me, it's been useful because it helped me see
