They are paying the COBRA. So this goes toward copays and hitting deductible. Assuming their health coverage is good (why wouldn't it be, it's a San Fran tech company?), this gets you pretty far.

The astonishing thing is, compact cameras have 3% market share remaining.

I wonder how many people buy these things outright. Every time I see an ad for a luxury car, they tell you about the monthly payment. If you stop making the monthly payment, guess what? They take the whole car away. There are already GPS in

This is an SUV that can do 0 to 60 in 6.2. Those used to be sports car numbers not too long ago. 5.2 is ludicrous for anything without an electric motor. It is not as if this is a 90s Yugo. Some car magazine a while back did a side-by-side

The Bluebook specifically says to defer to the Chicago Manual of Style where the Bluebook does not prescribe a rule. Chicago requires 1 space. Also, the Bluebook is at most followed only in spirit, more commonly in the breach. Most of it is

On the margin, people prefer to live in the city than in the far suburbs. You can see this from the large price premium on houses in the city. There are all sorts of legal impediments to infill development. Some people want one thing. Yes,

Being able to see the input and the output on a screen is nice though. Then I can check if the answer is wrong because of a typo in the input. I'll take a graphing calculator for the money any day, and not for the graphs.

No, false. I was a lawyer once. Lawyers under ... 60 use Word. Courts up North get all kinds of horribly formatted dreck, but it could be worse. In the South, they get keyboard fonts but justified. In California, they get filings on paper w

Thinkpads, the water drains through the chassis. I've spilled half a cappuccino in one once. It was fine. I regretted not having half my coffee.

Basically, yes, for 10k. There are various terms and conditions, like your income and family status (if you are single, you have to make 125k), and whether you qualified for Pell grants when you were in college (if so, you get 20k instead).

It's a tradeoff. The most recent 11 speed mechanical from Shimano is really superb--if you keep it maintained. The electronic stuff stays true if you don't maintain it, but is a pain to set up. And if anything goes wrong, it is an

My high school basically expected you to get a TI 83. My dad decided that it was a ripoff and we got Casios instead. Casios? Oh, nothing survived in my backpack. Nothing, so Casios. Eventually my school got around to issuing me and my acade

I did it when I was 36, but I wasn't a quant. It took a coding bootcamp to get to where you say you are, maybe a little bit further. But given what you say, you can skip that. While you probably don't need a full year of self-teac

Why amazing? It is like how every self-made rich person is extremely stingy. They need those instincts to be that rich. Plus one of their founding legends is that they were too cheap to buy desks. So they bought doors and legs and assembled

No ongoing fees. Hmm. Just because the auto manufacturers do not capture all of them does not mean that they do not exist.

There is a term for this, the "Streisand effect." It turns out, there can be such a thing as bad publicity. And like all forms of publicity, there are ways of putting it into a positive feedback loop. (Positive in the sense that y

I have Dell displays with those specs and at that price point. Probably the same display. They are fine for coding if you are not acclimated to "retina" smoothness for fonts. Since they are so cheap, I bought a second one so my wi

The idea is superb. I read the Landmark Thucydides, Herodotus, and Xenophon. For Thucydides, the maps are a wonderful addition. For Herodotus, they are less useful since the locations don't matter as much for the narrative arc. Or at l

I really do not understand the question. I understand that plenty of people say "spirituality" and think that they mean the same thing as other people by it. Some of them mean "whatever I or members of my family was getting f

I have experienced cheap induction tops that do that. The better ones don't. Mine you can tell it a temperature and it sticks it there, so I can basically tell it to slowly simmer a curry or stew and it does the simmering for me. I wal

I have an induction cooktop form Cooktek, which I originally bought in 2007, which I carry around with me everywhere. One more thing about how it is great. Since it heats the pan directly instead of the air underneath the pan, you can boil

The Ford Transit Connects made in Europe and are sent to the US with seats in them. In the US, the seats are removed and then sent back to Europe, presumably to be installed in new Transit Connects. This is also to avoid taxes.

I don't see why this is so bad. Already Intel makes 2-core chips by deactivating 2 of the cores in 4-core chips. Adding the ability to turn them on later is a good thing. Why pay for the whole thing up front? Ok, you can finance the be

As compared to, what, human drivers? I am not convinced that Tesla is making good tradeoffs regarding saftey/driver convenience. But you will notice that the government can force Tesla to "recall" their software to make a ful

Here is what I don't understand. They clearly mean to ban online tracking. They make the laws. But instead of making a law that makes tracking illegal, they make a law that says you must consent, and leave blank what consent means. The

You say this. But 99% of lawyers do not know how to do these things.
