Sadly, this a trend I am seeing more and more with monthly recurring subscription companies no matter their size. Even with Netflix, I don't get a monthly receipt or billing reminder. There is no excuse for not sending out a monthly re

There is some truth to both sides. First, there is a difference between "jail" and "prison". Jail most commonly refers to a county, city, municipal lockup. This is an individual's first stop on their way to prison (

Many cities/towns have "rental taxes" that are charged to the owner. These can either be a flat-fee for a rental license or a percentage of rental income. Most owners just build this expense into the monthly rent cost so the

A few things: 1) While I pay an accountant to file my taxes, the biggest benefit I get is (a) knowing/understanding the tax law; and (b) most importantly knowing what deductions and/or credits are available to me and my business.

Smoked a pack a day for 25 years. Quit cold turkey (for the most part) 5 years ago. Woke up one morning, was out of cigarettes and decided that was the day I was going to try. Made it through the day (although I found myself nibbling on chi

Funny you bring up the EPA SWAT team. I was reading an article the other day about how the EPA Director had to bring in agents from the field to add additional agents to his security detail [1]. I guess I never thought of EPA agents as prov

To address "abuse by parents", I am not referring to physical violence. Abuse by parents in the sense that a group of parents can conspire to "punish" a teacher they perceive as being unfair to their child by not bidding

While I believe your idea is with good intent and I am not going to bash you, I would strongly consider going back to the drawing board on this idea. I can't even imagine the number of ways this could possibly go wrong. From punishing

Been doing this for several years and prefer this method. I also try to reduce the number of times I use a particular security question. However, I don't think the problem comes from what questions you use or what answers you provide.

To build on that a bit. My bank uses voice recognition as a security measure and to authenticate me when I call in. Throw a bad actor in the mix and that becomes a security issue.

IANAL, but in most cases, body cam video falls is available through a FOIA request. Often times either the media will file a request or a defense attorney, victim, or individual involved in the incident will have access and release the vide

I can appreciate that. Unfortunately, here in the US most businesses still all rely on some form of landline number. For many, this is more a virtual number(s) through some VoIP provider. It would be nice to see WhatsApp integrate with some

As someone who uses WhatsApp to communicate with friends and family overseas, I could potentially see that as a nice support channel for businesses. However, there are several problems I see. First, you can't have more than one account

Completely agree. I used to live in Florida and we had a drive-in movie theater about a mile from my house. Although it didn't have the "comforts" of an indoor movie theater, the biggest selling point was they showed two new

IANAL, but I don't think there is a specific time to do this. On the other hand, if you have users I would err on the side of caution and at least put something simple up. A good resource for a privacy policy and terms of use is Cooley

They somewhat do have a tool (although I don't think it works with YouTube ads). The Google Publisher Toolbar works decent for testing ads on your page (you can click and doesn't count), block ads, and reporting ads. https:/
