Why are you so convinced that the UK staying a part of the EU is such a bad thing? I'm not sure that Brexit is such a good idea, and nearly half of Britain agrees. It was a close vote.
Gary, I don't follow your point. What do you mean "at least?" Yes, the economic cost of major storms can be far worse. But a fire can still be catastrophic (not to mentioned deadly). Especially to someone living at ground zero.
Yes, #censorship is a real issue for every company, not just tech giants. But the answer isn't a wild west free for all without any censorship, which it sounds like you support. It's a very fine like between free speech and hate speech. I suspect that you would be opposed to a post calling for the violence against blacks or gays. What about a post that doesn't call out right for violence, but is deliberately published to incite hate which could lead to violence. It's a slippery slope.
Good point. And that was far from #Uber's only crime. They are probably one of the most unethical companies around. Yet they still make a bundle. Same with #Amazon. Even if they lose in court, it will likely amount to a minor slap on the wrist - a tiny percentage of the profits they reaped from this activity.
As long as the punishments are insignificant, the crimes will continue as the reward far outweighs the risk. I hope #eBay wins.

That's graphite. Graphene is related somehow, yet totally different at the same time. Perhaps @[Michael Molman](user:50272) can better explain.
