I would be surprised if uBlock Origin continues to be published/available for Chrome at all in its current form. In order to comply with the new restrictions Google are placing on it, it would have to be severely neutered. They are n

Oh wow! I just checked the SAME listing again (that's in my order history) and they have changed it YET AGAIN so now it is a listing for a complete knock-off Philips Sonicare toothbrush...not just the brush heads, but the brush body i

I reported a specific instance of this to Amazon before and they declined to take any action to police it. In the case I reported, it was a more subtle change. I had purchased some replacement brush heads for a Philips Sonicare toothbrush

I'd say Okta is pretty much the standard corporate "password manager" (SSO) solution. I'm a consultant and probably half of my (very large) clients use Okta.

The UChicago Economics department has not been super friendly with "Austrian" economics. Hayek, for example, was not a faculty member in the Economics department.

That almost completely defeats the purpose of VAC or whatever they are calling it now. Who cares if they're banned for life when they can make an infinite number of accounts at no cost. The price of the game was what made VAC bans ef

A sizable portion of that 25% were people who decided to retire (early), but yeah...it was massively expensive. They also offered very, very generous moving packages to everyone who did relocate along with early retirement packages for tho

Almost every successful medium- or large-sized company has done this. As they grow, they open new offices, which they seed with existing staff who are willing to either permanently or temporarily relocate. Most of the time those offices h

The first $250-500k of capital gains on houses is tax-free when you sell your house. I would argue that the IRS should treat cryptocurrency like other foreign currencies where the first $200 of capital gains is not taxed: https:/

I think the tax treatment of cryptocurrency is nonsensical if one views and attempts to use it as a currency rather than an investment. There is no exclusion of small transactions from capital gains reporting requirements like there is for

They haven't lost all value, but you certainly can't take them at face value. I always make sure to read the negative reviews, as others have mentioned. I'll also frequently look at the review history of any review that res

Most English speakers would say, "a woman who I was with for 3 years." In this case "with" is understood to mean in a romantic relationship. I don't think what you said is technically correct. "With whom I wa

That's pretty sad. I used OkCupid pretty successfully 5+ years ago in Chicago. I did not notice a spam/fraud problem at all (maybe one or two obvious spam messages here or there). It worked almost too well, to be honest. Women

I have considered driving for Uber very casually, but a few things keep me from doing it. First, I cannot drive the car I would prefer to drive (a two-seat sports car). Second, I would have to file a bunch of extra paperwork at tax time.

I always check the inventory online at my local Best Buy before going to the store for a price match. If I've already found the product on Amazon, it's not hard to do the same on BB and make sure it's in stock.

This isn't a foreign concept, either. It's how everyone started out. Google just thought they could charge more for ads if they also began tracking users so they could display higher-value ads that are supposedly relevant to a u

I would count a recording of my voice as "personally identifiable information" right off the bat. Voice printing is a thing, and anyone will also tell you that they recognize the voices of people they interact with regularly. If
