This article gave me an idea. We've all read about neighborhoods being "gentrified", raising the property taxes, effectively pricing the original habitants out. I've wondered, if this ever happened to me, how could I s

I just searched "Glassdoor acquired" and the results say that Glassdoor was acquired by Recruit, not by Indeed. As a former Indeed employee, I hope they don't mix the Glassdoor review slime with Indeed.

Agreed, it was kind of a "reductio ad absurdum" feature. No one would knowingly choose it, therefore, allowing cameras is absurd.

The Weezer remake is really good too, and Weird Al is in the video. How can you beat that? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mk5Dwg5zm2U

Does the Equal Protection clause of the 14th amendment apply to laws that affect businesses? If so, then these kinds of perks may be illegal. But I suspect that equal protection only applies to humans. Lawyers?

Maybe I'm the exception then - I'm probably the first person in my family to get in trouble (felon, did 5 years). What you say about taking risks is so true. Once you've taken big risks, the thought of these relatively smal

On the other hand, I'm pretty impressed that they got the correct form of the verb "to lie": "... where it appears to have lain undisturbed for more than 2,400 years."

If Bloomberg ends up retracting the story, then the new question, for me, is how did this happen? Was it simply Bloomberg trying to get views? Or is it more interesting, like did their "sources" intentionally give them a fake st

Freedom has risks and responsibilities, I accept them. Edit: BTW, I'm not saying one needs to be 100% cash. I use credit cards too. The important thing is that I have a choice.

For me, Cash is freedom. No one can block my transaction, record what I purchase, or tell me who I can and can't give money to. I live part of the year in Argentina, and when I'm there I don't even carry a wallet. Just a p

I have a question about the Apple Watch's EKG/ECG feature, maybe someone can answer: I had a routine EKG last week for a pilot medical certificate. Before the EKG, the nurse rubbed a cold gel on my skin, at the places where she t

Sounds like a great subscription business right there. Charge $X per month to aggregate obituaries and make them searchable or matchable to a list every day. You just replaced a $60k/year employee.

Embarrassing would be ordering just the espresso shots, then adding the free milk yourself. I think some baristas call this the 'ghetto latte'. Learned from /r/starbucks

I read Cuckoo's Egg by Cliff Stoll around 1990 (it covers RTM's story of creating the "worm")... that book had such an effect on my life. Later, while in prison (during the startup boom of 1995-2000), I remember reading
