I had a different impression, which is that they had cards and deployed them poorly. They seem to have whittled the holdouts down to a point where the impact wasn’t so great. But I’m kinda curious if UC doesn’t make grade reporting more inc

What happened with your grades in those classes? I read the university systems release and this article and couldn’t glean the details. Is that course’s grades still just up in the air?

“The bottom line: This isn't about how much people pay in taxes. It's about when they pay it. It would make more sense for the timing to match the receipt.” It may be worse than that, and it may be about how much people pay in tax

This was my first thought as well, although I’m having a hard time judging the value proposition of TurboTax right now. I was going to test out credit karmas tax filing this year but TurboTax definitely has a lot more thorough integrations.

I’m amazed that someone would think that the investment banking division would be an appropriate trial. I don’t know about long breaks but that seems like a crew that definitely puts in over 8 hours a day.

I think you're going to be quite OK for a while at least, it looks like the current e-trade CEO would end up running the E-Trade unit inside of Morgan Stanley at least for a while. If they ever merged e-trade accounts into Morgan Stan

I’d be really curious to peer into the financial literacy across the wide range of salaries in here. I have no idea where my experience falls, but I feel like I goofed up for the first several years of my career and slowly built up better h

I really get irked by this attitude. Think of how much news is produced by the nature of how big the world is and how fast it can move. How many screwups do you think there are proportionately to that universe? If we are gonna judge the new

I'm pretty sure that a ton of the review fraud on amazon comes through verified purchases. You refund/pay people to buy the product on amazon and leave a review in the best case, in the worst case you operate accounts buying your

That’s pretty wild. I wonder how those relationships develop and how sticky they are. C’mon, someone go halfsies with me on a Trunk Club spin on postmates et al

I know Marco Arment has talked about some kind of Apple representative who you can order through when you’re the kind of customer who is spending bank there. Maybe something to look into, I didn’t get the impression that it was the same thi

The lack of discount codes for Apple Pay always puts me in a quandary of whether I want to just save the time or if it’s worth the hassle. From my experience it seems like I run into a lot of Shopify-backed sites, so I’m not sure if this i

It’s hit or miss, some utilities/bills are handled in the bill pay system as bank transfers, but other utilities they fall back to issuing checks. For me I’d say it’s 50/50, in a 500k person county.

I’ve been all in on using my banks bill pay system for a number of years now for property tax / water bill / etc. Stamps & check books cost money, but scheduling someone else to cut the check, stamp and envelope it, and stick

What is being labeled as predatory was the scheme being led that had the lawyers husband fake a disability in order to launch these lawsuits (200 in one year, over 2000 total). And that it was specifically targeted at small businesses of a

All software, but especially software in the privacy / protected data industries, requires ongoing updates. Pay once and you're done was a model built on exponential growth forever, which never really worked. So the next thing y

I worked for a company that had gone from selling on premise software to cloud, and going from build to production release took a while. Realistically you could expect 1-2 days if everything went well. This was definitely not problem #1 at

The fantastic part about the collaboration game is that people who are into it are people who are around to get things done. You can all share that core tenant, and it can remind you of what is important along the road. I’ve found that dra

Recent Yamahas are integrated into googles ecosystem too. To me the point is that the speakers are separable from whatever client you want to use. If it’s 5 years from now and you need new support for driving the speakers, you replace that

What's hysterical to me is that Microsoft was actually making this point in their proposal because they very much expected for AWS to solely receive go-ahead with this contract.

1Password does support local storage, cloud is used for syncing to local storage so obviously in case of an outage you wouldn’t be able to sync updates. But you would be able to access and modify locally and then it would push when things

You’re right, it’s weird, American Express has literature where they talk about being a closed loop network and apply that definition. Maybe it’s more appropriate to just say that visa and MasterCard don’t directly offer credit cards.

You only get discover & Amex cards from those companies whereas Visa & MasterCard are networks that other people can “buy into”, ie your bank card (or credit card offered through a bank). IMO not super relevant to topic of competiti

Maybe I’m dense and missing it but why are properties purchased just to sit? Seems like a wasted revenue stream regardless of the original intent.
