In the datasets I use at work, I'm seeing these or similar credit not for emergency solutions, but rather for luxury consumption (the very poor aren't likely to be in our panels). People are buying Peloton bikes, exotic vacations,

Hi doppelganger! In my house the chore division has me doing the kitchen after the kids are in bed. I love optimizing and getting everything in, but in the right configuration so it also all gets clean. I get annoyed when my wife starts loa

I've been wondering about returns lately using Google Pay consistently. It seems with returns they often ask 'do you have the card used for the purchase?', but with one-time numbers I don't know if the card will be recog

Liabilities makes sense. I used to be at a remote sensing company that was leasing a plane and when we were close to buying instead the CFO said, we need to start a new company for the liabilities.

Even worse! There's a factiod tv in my office building's elevators, and one of the news items it showed was Comcast was shipping its customers a Roku-like streaming device. The catch? It won't work with Disney Plus. There hav

How does one share Prime Video credentials without giving blanket access to one's Amazon account? Asking for a friend.

Find me 7% growth on $10k dollars for multiple decades running and you can have all my money. In other words, that's a very unreasonable mean growth rate.

Haha, I think you've turned the corner to 'old'. I appreciate the awareness of your 'or wait'. When I was a kid in the 80s every adult I heard complained that they couldn't set the clock on their VCR, but that

Never seen the show before, but enjoyed the clip - thank you. Very curious how it turned out.

I occasionally think about subscribing to a vpn to protect my behavior information from my isp (Spectrum). But, everytime I get to considering it, I get sketched out that the low cost vpn providers will sell my data just as indiscriminately

Edison packages up info from user emails and sells that on the data market. Maybe Superhuman isn't doing this (yet), and therefore aren't being scrutinized for this security/privacy lapse in the same way.

I like the paper towel because I then have something to cleanly open the door with too.

I don't see that. I see that I opened the Instagram app, but my in-app activity is in no way displayed. What steps did you take to see what profiles you opened?

And the comments boil down to: "I have strong opinions but avoided what looked like an opportunity to become more informed".

Then you're not in an urban area anyway, which is the place where high density apartments are needed.

I see this sentiment often, but I don't quite understand. Inflation has been at <2% for a while, so how is a 5% raise cost of living? It's actually big. I'm in NYC and our trouble with the subway have highlighted that MTA

Why the anonymous source? 10 year old secrets in a rapid-development technology seem like non-secrets, so who's willing to "leak" but not be identifiable at this point? Maybe Apple has strict secrecy rules that are only parti

I would love to see the Nate Silver point by point response to this post. I think it would be humorous, but also add some insights into his proprietary black box. I listen to the 538 podcast every episode, and I think I agree with cm2012 th
