I have two exception for the buy it cheap rule. I first look for a high quality option being sold used. Sometimes you can get the better option for cheaper. This is of course only worth the time on more expensive stuff. Then, I also have st

Of course there is. You aren't denied service at a hospital even if you don't have health insurance. That is a free rider problem.

The plaintiffs in the case were several gop attorney generals. Related cases were also carried out by the Trump admin. And several courts had previously upheld that the ACA was constitutional because it does not force you to buy health insu

I'd say there is a good chance they can claw back some of the endorsement money. A celebrity endorser is more than just some vendor, it is someone that is lending credence to the scam either wittingly or unwittingly.

My guess is that self driving cars are already far, far better than human drivers at not hitting pedestrians.

Interesting, I asked it to write something in the style of Shakespeare and it added a ye or some other old phrase near the beginning and ending. It seemed that the rest was regular modern English.

I also try to go with 15% tip as my standard, 18-20% for exceptional service. But I have noticed that receipts and other tip suggestions are starting to pretend that 18% is a bare minimum tip. The tip suggestions on a recent restaurant rece

Actually, the merchants are fully responsible for fraudulent charges. So Amex has little incentive to be secure.

I'm not quite sure what the long game would be of buying up land. Obviously, in an escalation of contentions between the two countries, the US would simply seize said land.

I don't think most crypto is built to obfuscate. It's built to bypass centrally controlled monetary system. With the exception of some specialty crypto created to obfuscate, it's really not nearly as good at hiding transactio

I am no expert on this. But I believe in the case of a buyout, all the outstanding options and RSUs would be automatically vested and exercised. Lockouts wouldn't make any sense now that the company is no longer public.

I believe they are rather similar to the fire tiles you can get to line the inside of a blacksmith's furnace. They are quite light, but also very fragile.

Well, you are actually pushing their wage downward, but not to $2.13. The lowest would be the minimum wage of the area since the company is required by law to make up the difference.

He's not wrong about value. Plenty of valuable things in society have not fundamental value. High end art and luxury brand clothing are two examples. And no, a $50m van Gogh does not have utility because you can enjoy it. Because you c

I don't think that Theranos had a lot of traditional VC funding. Tim Draper was the first investor and apparently neighbors with Elizabeth Holmes and pretty much the only VC I saw on the list. But he was the first investor so there may

Earnings reports are out and FAANG companies are showing drops in revenue. So I don't think their layoffs are entirely due to over hiring or simply using a looming recession as an excuse.
