All the offers Credit Karma has presented to me have been legit, near as I can tell. I have had no complaints about their app and it has helped me to vastly improve my credit rating. I'm surprised to see this story.

People are pushing them. That's why the iPhone passed all Android devices combined in US market share last week. That's the pushing. A lot of longtime Android users have obviously finally gotten tired enough of the quality issues

It is indeed very different from state to state, depending on the state's tax base and priorities, and also within states from locale to locale, at times.

I get your general argument, and in a lot of circumstances, it has validity, but I don't think it does in this case. Jackson has indeed experienced white flight and a population decline. But it still has basically the same population i

"Turning this into" a race issue? It is a race issue. You're simply making things up about Jackson's leaders and hoping they will stick. Well, they don't stick. Jackson has repeatedly appealed for funding to address

I'd like explanations from each and every person who downvoted this. Nobody apparently had the courage to try to refute the argument, and even a cursory examination of the facts will reveal that this commenter has the facts right. Miss

Is it? The Goruck is $325 and the competing bag from DEFY looks like it's $303.

Just as an aside since we're talking about zippers and backpacks, if you ever want a truly amazing zipper experience out of a pack, get a GORUCK GR1 (or any GORUCK, really). These are built to tolerate being used for rucking with 100 p

Brush up on California's emission standards for cars. And the history of its standards for gasoline. BTW, arguing that the current joke of a SCOTUS might rule against California isn't a real argument.

Nobody is "forcing" anything, here. Obviously. California has substantial market power. It is entirely within its rights to dictate how things will be done within California. If that means that some companies then feel some financ

Anonymous dissent does not, of course, require anonymous comment directly on any and all websites. There are many other venues for dissent. Most of those aren't run by or paid by other people. This bill sucks, but it's no real thr

Have you done ten seconds of research about this yet? You should find time for that. Would clear up a lot of things for you. Short version: we are far, far too late to start building infrastructure now and make up for a Colorado River'

Several huge incidents are going to occur regardless of what we do. That is already baked-in to this situation. That includes fantasies about pretending that we can do nothing. Which we can't.

Laughable. The wealthy are going to leave the best weather in the Western Hemisphere and the best culture in the United States and the best restaurants and the best job market and... Stop fooling yourself. The wealthy are going to double-do

Not solvable at scale right now. Especially with climate change impacts folded in—and remember, the whole reason we're in this mess is because of the climate change impacts we are already experiencing. Those are going to get a lot wors

What does "you don't take away rights" even mean? And why say such a thing? Of course rights can, and should, be taken away, if they don't make sense anymore. And these particular rights clearly don't make sense any

Except you very very often don't get an A=440, since a lot of orchestras don't tune to that pitch and early-music orchestras are a full half-tone below that, etc.

Varies a lot depending on the person. "Absolute" pitch isn't really absolute, in the vast majority of cases. It's a degree of an ability to retain a given pitch and then produce it later without prompting or context. Kee

Climate change impacts or global pandemics could also significantly impact TSMC's operations. Or, Chinese actions that are somewhat short of full-on war. Also relevant here: TSMC is building a chip fab in the US.

No, it's not even close to that. I'm referring to one issue, obviously, and it's a fairly clear and major issue. The issue in question is also representative of larger and even more obvious issues regarding the inherent confl

Could we at least argue honestly? This isn't about "browser implementation internals". A lot of users are aware of the basic issue about browser choice in iOS. Granted, some are oblivious, but a lot know the basics of what is

Disagree, I guess. Throwing a USB stick of malware at someone doesn't realistically serve the purpose of infecting their stuff with that malware. But playing this song in Times Square very much does have a realistic chance of breaking

I kinda always thought Zip was a kludge technology, and I thought I was way cooler because I used magneto-optical instead. (I kinda still do, because those discs are still working, 937 years later.)

False. Get your facts straight before misstating established facts in public. The baker in fact refused to make any cake whatsoever for a same-sex wedding. If you are fuzzy on this, watch the interview with the baker himself in this article
