Yeah, I can't speak for anywhere else, but they market themselves VERY heavily up here in Canada. We're saturated by 5 gigantic banks though, so I don't think they are actually that big here, but if you went by how many bloody TV ads they put on, you'd think they were top dog.

The royal wedding is a national holiday, and getting double pay for working on national holidays is a common business practice. I assume this fellow is from the UK.

Not at all. Tactility, the concept of seeing the innards is far more important. You might as well ask why the viewing of dissection is necessary when diagrams are available. This is more iconoclastic, but the overall concept is the same.

That's not a catch all for shoddy writing standards and has nothing to do with my comment. Please explain how neglectful handling of credible academic sources accounts for higher page views.

Jesus, just like terrestrial TV? Gee fucking willikers. Hulu still has to pay the bills, and if you can suggest an alternative solution that balances the operating budget and nets a profit as their last quarterly earnings statement indicates, well I would hazard you'd be doing something more productive then bitching…

It just seems incredibly vapid to me. I really enjoy Sam Biddle's articles, and I don't think he's trying to be dismissive, but it comes across that way and the references are actually pretty well sourced heavy hitters. Just because the article didn't exist before the public debacle doesn't mean the word didn't exist;…

The books of three prominent scholars of African history and an academic journal article in the most prominent journal of African literature are "pretty out of left field" as citations?

Don't chalk it up to any racial aspect on Google's part, the security industry has over a supermajority of its frontline workers that are of African descent. There are various speculative reasons as to why this might be, ranging from socioeconomic— this security industry is an excellent livelihood for minimal…

Where the fuck do you get this blurry shit from, exactly? They could certainly tweak the resolution so that the PPI is exactly the same in a widescreen aspect ratio.

Thanks for the expert commentary, chief! Glad you're here to tell us how ridiculous the speculation around a multi-billion dollar industry is!

Directors marry a lot of practical ability with varying degrees of film theory. Critics (the good ones anyway) are exceptionally well-versed in film theory and films themselves. I'm using films because it's my highest level of knowledge, but these statements apply equally to any art. My point is that you should not…

A self-loathing misanthrope is paradoxical; misanthropy is an extreme form of narcissism. Just saying.

"Most people who write in short sentences also write in what is known as "telegraphic style." This is OK for short business email and tweets, but becomes unbearable for any other kind of writing"

These things always make me question why our society is actualized as it is. As long as it's consensual, any partnership should be recognized and validated as potential for a conjugal visit.

Free world? Lawl, right.

The fuck does that mean? You're sick of apps? Or you're sick of an article which parses through the hundreds of shittys ones to highlight the best/most useful?

Thank you for that, that makes the scenario eminently more possible.

Especially since virtually everyone breaks some degree of traffic law, and the majority probably half a dozen per commute.

It's certainly possible. Even if that's the case and he's genuinely in the wrong for many of the tickets, I'm cool with him getting them thrown out if he can show the technology used isn't nearly accurate enough considering the hassle and expenses they can cost someone. That kind of reform is worth an enterprising…

This is a good point. The two theories I can suggest are either that he has a particularly perilous route, or it's a Last Angry Man deal where everyone else just pays them and he won't take it.
