I'm not an American, so financing is a little more difficult but if you are willing to put down 25%, it's doable. With 50% down, almost anyone will give you financing. This is institutional financing...there's always privat

RBC bank in Canada is using this technology based on the concept of a unique heartbeat to facilitate payments [1]. It is basically a wrist band with NFC...but it sounds like it also monitors your heart beat to make sure you really are the

Real estate investor here. The buyer probably paid all cash...these sort of deals require that you pay cash, so very unlikely that they leveraged against these properties. However, they will likely have raised capital with some other portf

"He says he charges only as much as he must to maintain a razor-thin profit margin." I have a hard time believing this. Does any one have experience in this space? The way I understand it, it really shouldn't cost $6+ for

Well, that was upsetting to read. Zoo animals are typically tranquilized for their own comfort while being transported. In addition to the driver facing criminal charges, I think the handlers who decided to skip the tranquilizer should als

Unless this service grows the auto rickshaw market (meaning, someone who wasn't likely to use an auto rickshaw is now using one, thanks to this service), then this person's gain is another rickshaw driver's loss. This seems

I've been through something similar. My job at one point was so stressful and depressing that it was starting to show visible effects: weight loss, dark circles, hair loss, etc. But I couldn't afford to quit. I jumped ship as so

Estonia is very impressive of how they have kept pace with technology. I think it helps that they have a 34 year old prime minister. Even his predecessors made it a priority to bring tech into government services and the citizens' ev

I would think nation states already work under the assumption that the NSA and other agencies are actively trying to infiltrate their systems. The recent NSA revelations can't be news to them. So why stop using it now I wonder?

From what I've read about this guy, there seems to be a lot more to add to the "ugly" column. - He equates the plight of muslims murdered in 2002 to a puppy run over by a car [1]. - He has been a life long member of party

There's a lot of overlap here with what Paul Tough says in his book "How children succeed". Basically he also emphasizes the focus on a child's character, but to an extent that they regularly get graded on their charact
