Just because I read about more murder than cancer, in the news, doesn't make me think that more people are murdered than die of cancer.

Awesome site. You've probably come across it, but just in case you haven't. In the UK we have trolley.co.uk (plus app) which is handy. The barcode scanner I use a lot when I want to check if the branded product is a good price in

I wish someone made a social media site that has no news feed or any feed, like the facebook of old. Only get notifications and updates from actual people who you have friended. I genuinely think this would be popular, it wouldn't driv

A few years ago I went through digitising all my grandmothers old albums. The final picture was my grandfather on his deathbed, she stopped making any albums after even though she was only 60. She died 2 yrs later. This hit me hard.

Powerful read. My Dad was the sole survivor in a boating accident in the Med when I was about 3 yrs old. He doesn't really talk about it. This has helped me understand some of what he has gone through, esp the aftermath.

I suspected this practice and ran a very rudimentary test which concluded they were not doing such things. I made a playlist with Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Justin Bieber and then an equal amount of songs from obscure artists with fewer than 10

I used to love a site called 'Stumble Upon' that would take you to random interesting websites. Those were the days.

Awesome, best of luck. I could see this in gadget mags esp around xmas, they often look for lower cost items to contrast the £500 phones and £1k laptops ;)

> Three weeks later – just as Shearn, its chief critic, was silenced – Farnborough announced that it planned to double weekend flights. I'm not convinced these 2 things are connected. He can still be critical, he just can't har

It was more a curiosity driven statement. I think the similarity is interesting, that is all.

You could use the same argument for the scammer employee who gambles with your money to make a personal gain. You implicitly consent because you consent to the government prosecuting injustice and returning your misappropriated funds.

I'm not sure how many people know this is what the bank is doing with their deposits, making consent difficult.

Not any law ever passed. Speed limits for example, in fact most traffic laws. Contract law, banking law, property law, a lot of criminal law, for example theft, assault. In fact I think the argument can only be used on laws that ban things
