I cry too but only if something sad happens to someone else. Whenever something bad happens to myself, I just feel numb and try to block out all emotions. But if I read about some injustice or tragedy somewhere in the world, I get all weepy

Fascinating dataset. I think ending a long term, long distance relationship (and then finding out he was married all along), probabaly skewed this dataset upwards. Last time I cried was watching the most recent episode of Game of Thrones. A

Love the idea! Only suggestion would to be switch "Distractive" to "Unproductive" or "Distracting." I'm sure distractive is technically a word, but this is my first time hearing it. But that's just me

Not about cheating, but my friend runs a education consulting service in China and he recently got a call from a father saying that his 20 year old daughter was in the USA studying English but found it too difficult. The father wanted to kn

If this works as well as advertised, I'm definitely tossing my Fitbit Charge HR. What a colossal waste of money that was.

To be fair, MacBook Pros pretty much all look the same on the outside. She probabaly just thought it was hers, stuffed it in her bag, and went to catch her flight.

There are many countries with more visa free travel than the US. And these countries don't have international income tax.

I'd avoid conflating South/East Asia with China. The only airport the article cites in China is HK airport, and even that is ambiguous. In fact, actual Chinese airports are notorious for delay.

Everyone should get Global Entry. It makes the process of getting through immigration relatively painless. Additionally, Global Entry allows you to use the TSA Precheck lines, which are orders of magnitude shorter than the regular security

This is why capitalization is important and willy nilly camel case is not alway great. Here I was thinking literally animal sounds informed the sound of pop music.

I don't mean to be rude, but if you read the quote you posted, it directly contradicts your point. Specifically "permitted to provide reviewed rather than audited financial statements." Of course if a company already has audi

Buffett is no fool. Berkshire is providing the financing to Dan Gilbert's group and will receive guaranteed interest as well as an option to convert to equity. I'm sure that financing is jammed packed with warrants and covenants.

No requirement for audited financials, only reviewed financials by a CPA. Which makes this stuff all the more risky.

That's the requirement to be an accredited investor, not to register a small business.

Why phrase it as a question? The linked article is a PR piece that obviously argues that Ontolo is the fastest crawler, parser, indexer. The actual article title "400,000,000+ Prospects a Day: Behind the Scenes of ontolo" seems le

You're definitely right that there are many shady penny stocks being traded OTC. But I fail to see how shady penny stocks justify an even more opaque and less regulated equity market. Regulation is certainly imperfect, but it's mu

There seems to be serious moral hazard for equity crowdsourcing. Realistically, potential investors don't have to ability to conduct adequate due diligence. The projects seeking funding are likely to be riskier/lower quality since

As far as I can tell, this guy guessed Sydney Blumenthal's AOL account security password and got access to his AOL email account. He then saw emails from Clinton and did an IP scan on her email server. He says he has 2 gigs of data but

According to the State Department, Colin Powell as well as high level aides to Condeleeza Rice handle classified info on their personal email addresses. Clinton is the only one who set up her own private server though.

I played Clash Royale for several days and the insistence on payments to progress was really off putting. The gameplay itself was quite addicting so I presume they're trying to avoid players burning out from binging. But the fact you e

Merchant cash advances are technically not loans because you're selling future receivables. The advantage is that these transactions are not regulated like loans and importantly, are exempt from usury laws. That's why annual effec

tldr: Next gen 4K and VR games require GPUs and CPUs that far exceed the $300-400 price normal for a game console. Microsoft should separate the Xbox into two (or more) lines: a $150-200 media center like Apple TV with no gaming capability,

I tried it many years ago and it was lacking features like pivot tables and scripting. Overall, I got the impression that numbers was more consumer than professional oriented. Haven't used it recently though.

Sheets is definitely usable but it's a bit light on functionality. I'm using the new Excel for Mac right now and it's just very slow and buggy. Also, the aforementioned alt-key shortcut is absent in the Mac version. Not havin

It's a joy to see so many newer, lighter weight but fully featured OSX apps replace the bloated Adobe software suite (eg. sketch, affinity photo, etc.) Now will someone please, please make a fully featured spreadsheet alternative to Ex
