Translation: I currently have three keys acting up. It's a pain in the ass and as much as I've loved Apple products for almost 30 years, I'm ready to give them the old heave ho.

Honestly? Did literally and unfortunately have a baby, or are you in the habit of dishonesty and needed to clarify your intent to tell the truth?

I would argue that Bitcoin in this case isn't an investment or speculation. It's insurance.

These wacky boys think their Bitcoin will save them someday. Whether they foresee a societal meltdown or government breaking down their door and seizing assets, they're living in fear. This wacky company is has found the perfect message and the perfect product for the perfect market.

You're comparing things that have no relation.

This is such propaganda. Not even worth discussing. I mourn the loss of factual journalism and critical thought.

mkempt is right. There's no premium shipping cost vs any other FedEx/UPS destination.

Yet another clueless astroturfer who alters the facts to fit your own narrative. Go back to your PR boss and tell them we're not buying your "messaging".

This story total propaganda and a load of horse manure.

They are not green. They are not convenient. And cityfolk hate them. Go back to LA bros.

I live in a rural area in the lower 48 and USPS won't deliver here. We have to go to a physical post office and stand in lame lines to get packages. We also have to pay an annual fee for the PO Box, and sometimes there are waiting lists.

FedEx and UPS happily deliver to my front door, 25 miles and down a long dirt road from the nearest town.

There is a great deal of societal value in empowering minority communities. And creating a diverse campus is a major starting point to developing a diverse and prosperous community.

We know from hard data that students from some communities are at an inherent disadvantage in the education system. From family environments to poverty to the mental strain of everyday racism to school funding to parental involvement, some students are at a severe disadvantage. Even when of equal intelligence, maturity and potential.

What universities do is account for these disadvantages in the mix. Is the system perfect? No. But it's good for our collective society, even if a few overachievers have to settle for Yale.

Either she's hoping that a short digital trail will limit the damage this event will have on any political ambitions, or this event has caused such as rift between her and Zuck that he's intentionally keeping her out of the spotlight.

If the latter, expect her "resignation" for "family reasons" in about 60-90 days.

Plus, back in the 40s-60s, there were boarding houses in big cities for single women. Not an unusual or experimental concept at all.
