I appreciate your sentiment. I own an old Nikon film camera that I use every now and then and I'm always impressed with the photos it takes. There is something unique about them that isn't present in my digital camera. That being

How many pictures do you think the average newbie needs to take to become a "proficient" photographer? 10,000? How much would it have cost to develop all that film twenty years ago? A modern user doesn't just have a better ca

A while back I read a study that agreed with your assertion. It examined intersections that had traffic lights removed. They found that in the short term, accident rates went down but after some time passed the accident rates shot back up.

It would be cool if a tech company sprouted up that was live games 24/7. When not showing nfl or mlb or college football, they were showing Italian soccer or Indian cricket, or other more obscure sports

It seems to me that the "death of ESPN" is more evidence of the death of the cable TV model than the death of sports.

That was my first thought. But on second thought, I wouldn't be surprised if big companies, like Netflix, don't have a problem with taxes. The billion dollar tech companies have the wherewithal to implement different tax regiments
