   Amusingly, yes, but other people reported doing the same and still seeing the header be sent.

   VTSMX is the same as VTI, just VTI is an ETF and VTSMX is a mutual fund. For most normal cases, it doesn't matter which you have. Having some international exposure is fine too and diversifies a little, but historically, as long as you

   Open a taxable account at Vanguard and invest however much you want in VTSMX. Done. For extra credit, switch to VTSAX once you get above $50K.

   When you get pulled over, hit the fingerprint sensor 5 times; that invalidates the use of it and you're done.

    Apple Pay's charge is paid by the banks, out of the interchange (the '2-3%' - that is actually more like 1.5% or less for any merchant big enough to be part of CurrentC).

    Yep, over LTE on an iPhone 6, in NYC. The only thing unique is I have Safari configured to send the DNT header. It would be amusing (in a good way) if that made VZ's infrastructure not tag all my traffic.

    The quoted price doesn't include the surge. Uber goes to very very great lengths to not show you how much you're paying when surge pricing is in play, abstracting it away to a multiplier always.

    This is a bad thing for a lot of reasons. The biggest one is that Synergy is going to get the bad press when users Google "free synergy download" and download the first random binary they come across, which could contain anything.
