There is no way it is true. Credit reporting agencies don’t consider your name when assessing your credit. The only way it could be true is if it is such a peculiar name that he is constantly the victim of identity theft.

Bigger takeaway for me is that the average APR is 5.8%. That’s high in the era of free money. Another huge detail, just casually mentioned at the bottom is that 12.8% of buyers are financing at rates above 10%. That’s insane.

People hit stationary cars all the time. In the UK there are about 9,000 such accidents per year. It’s extremely common. Someone in the US crashed into a stationary car during the time it took for me to write this up. It happens all the tim

This reminds me of the idea that we could cut traffic if we staggered office hours. In theory it would work but in reality businesses don’t operate that way. I feel fairly confident that the end result of this would just be that everyone ch

With this line of reasoning Epic has a monopoly on the Fortnite store. It’s a really absurd interpretation of competition law.

I’d like to see a plan, any plan at all, to power northern US cities with renewables. Specifically places like NYC, Boston, and Chicago. In the winter months there is 9 hours of overcast daylight. There isn’t any room to build a solar farm.

I don’t think ads are a necessary evil at all. Facebook and Google came along and ruined the market for paid services. Prior to that the market was healthy and operated just fine. If we undo the damage caused by FB and Google we can go back

Check out the history of NYPD “brownies” and, most recently, the green uniforms. Every time they try to disarm part of the police force, those officers get attacked.

NYC tried unarmed “police” to handle minor moving violations and parking. It was a disaster. People bullied them, assaulted them, and/or ignored them. The sad truth is that people respect police not because of the badge but because of

Apple threatened to revoke Epic’s “Apple Developer” account due to repeated violations of the developer policy and agreement. I am sure Apple did it to try and bully Epic into settling.

There is no risk in blood plasma treatment. The FDA did an analysis of 20,000 patients who received the treatment, out of 70,000 total. If it does not end up helping people it's much ado about nothing. There is no reason for the FDA

Search results tailored to your liking? My what an excellent bubble you’ve built for yourself. No wonder you like Google. I bet your panties got in quite a wad reading about people who don’t like the things you do.
