I thought the same, though the difference is large enough to warrant scrutiny. Ideally Eurostat would have collected data for a few non-EU countries to compare against, but this doesn't fit within their scope as a Directorate-General o

India's informal "shadow" economy makes up nearly 40% of GDP. There are clear advantages to maintaining proper books, such as improved planning and better access to credit. But do you think the smaller merchants this tool is

Sweden has a population of 10 million. Only 120 workers are covered. Tesla is not prioritizing resources well by fighting this battle. They should subcontract these jobs like Amazon does, encourage Tesla owners to go to Denmark for service,

I find it hard to believe the FAA cannot recruit enough controllers. Why not start recruiting and training in high school to capture talent early?

I wish they would invest more on reporting instead.

We also need more legislation holding automakers and drivers liable for the impact of their designs on other road users. I'm not up to speed on product liability, but this type of statement from Musk seems likely to invite lawsuits fro

Then it is very clear. I am a major fan of ProPublica, but I feel like they were too biased here and were trying too hard to write a good story.

Yes, good find!

I considered this as well before writing my comment and it's a very good point. Keep in mind that half the tickets cited in the article were over 65 mph, so they also would have been above the speed limit even without the change. The d

I read this article a few days ago and was shocked that something like this could occur. At the same time, all the tickets referenced by ProPublica were very clear cases of speeding: - "A ticket for 81 in a 50" - "61 mph in a

I’m also pretty sure many of the residents would be willing and able to assist in the construction of new units to help give back.

This is very sad to hear— I am sorry. I also wonder why only older people are getting hooked on these games. Perhaps it is due to changes in the brain? These companies seem to target the weakest.

Money games are regulated in the US, too, but this is not a money game because there is no money to be won.

It will be interesting to see how this argued. I personally am not sure such a complex evaluation of the algorithm is needed. If everyone agrees to tell Frank what they charge with the understanding Frank will use this data to tell you what

I’m not sure what sort of decline the article is referring to. There’s not a single reference to revenues or guest count for any club in Berlin, nor mention of any specific club in danger of closing due to lack of patronage. These clubs wer

I thought about this as I wrote my comment! Of course a red flag is not always a reliable indicator of fraud.

I'm studying for my CFE (Certified Fraud Examiner) and can shed some light on this. As others mentioned, unexplainable business models or money coming out of nowhere are major red flags. A few others to look out for if you are applying

I took screenshots of text from the hotel’s website claiming what was included, then sent them to Amex when I filed my dispute online. Of course I tried to work with the hotel before going this route, but they refused to refund anything.

Yes, it was advertised as part of the fee.

I recently won a credit card dispute over a hotel resort fee. The hotel claimed they had high-speed Internet. The speed was only 2-3 mbps. I was able to use the current FCC definition of high-speed to claim a refund.

I've never owned a car but may have to purchase one in the next few years. EVs seem woefully unappealing. Their design aesthetic often feels overly futuristic in a way we will look back on with regret 20 years later. Technology is grea

Smudge pots and heaters are also sometimes used in wine vineyards to prevent frost. The idea is not that the heat itself will prevent frost, but that the generation of heat will create air circulation that prevents frost from forming. Warm

Wise never seems to take reliability seriously. I've also had issues with account numbers changing at short notice in the past. While a useful tool for transferring money, it is not a replacement for a bank and should not be used as on

Keep in mind that American Express customers tend to spend more. Stores wouldn’t pay these interchange fees if they didn’t think the added spending is worth it. Cash also is not free to accept. The cost of handling it is quite significant.

The issue involves both the placement (in low income black neighborhoods) and accuracy (allegedly low). According to critics, ShotSpotter has thousands of false positives. Naturally when police think shots have been fired, their response is

I've also wondered why Grindr but not Tinder works on the "messaging only" plan. Someone at Alaska must have had fun with that one. Flightaware.com also works, presumably because Alaska uses Flightaware for its tracking map.
