3% is not price gouging. First, they spent decades building up their networks. You are paying for indemnity. People forget about the power of purchase protection. I can pay with a card and feel safe I will not get screwed by a merchant.

Also a dark calculation in these people who won't carry (even catastrophic) coverage. If I get a major disease and a half million or million dollar medical bill, I'm not going to pay it anyway.

I called the bank and they stopped charging me their HSA monthly fee, and credited back the past months fees - FYI. I won't say which bank it was, but it rhymes with Smells Smargo !

I'm against Obamacare, but if I was for it, I would peg the penalties at 2x the avg basic exchange coverage price. Also, people with high deductibles should make sure you take advantage of tax benefits, HSA for instance. The $6000 ded

Age discrimination is not only wrong, it's illegal. The woman in the article said she was told 'they want someone younger'. Anyone who can prove they did not get a job cause of their age may want to check with the EEOC and p

The technologist, specifically the software developer (ie.. the typical HN reader) seems to often be a non-conformist, even contrarian. Why do you think that is? Cause we think we're smarter than everyone else, is my theory!

In deciding to be exceptional, I'm thinking of the courageous act of separating yourself from the crowd when it's safer to conform, when faced with a binary decision between the two. That decision can have lifelong consequences.

I like how Emerson felt about conformity, not to mention - to be exceptional, one must be a non-conformist. Many would rather be accepted than exceptional At some point in your life, you may have to make that choice. The problem with publ

It's problematic looking at salaries college students vs. non-college students, as if the single choice of going to school or not makes the difference, and getting the degree assures the good pay. Too many recent graduates know better

Part of the elitism is just immaturity and childishness. It's a field dominated by younger people and with that comes some childish benavior. Not all young people, but overall you get more of it. However, people do need to respect th

...was once called a "web master". Was great, haven't heard that term in a long time, although as I recall it's "webmaster". I don't think "web master" was ever a term.
