Both of those have subscriptions independent of the paper, and I gladly pay them. (Though if you like spices, at least double the amounts in the Asian recipes.) I also pay for the digital newspaper. Just as I subscribe to certain local pape

It’s an SEC rule to guard against brokers going insolvent. Trades are not instant transactions so there’s a lot of credit being floated for days. Good thread explaining this, though still complex: https://mobile.twitter.com&#x2F

I can understand that. I was thinking more along the lines of helping people break out of the conditions that force them into terrible work environments, though of course the nature of that depends on the country. Could be anything from dir

Remembering Some Games! Racing Destruction Set and Nuclear War are maybe the first games I remember playing on a friend's C64. Building levels was the bigger part of the fun. Changing to low gravity so that when your car hit a mine, it

Andy Capp? That was the worst, which was probably why my paper put it in the classifieds.

No, you're right, that was Uber's plan at one point. They did hire Anthony Levandowski.

This was always the plan. Operate at a loss on both riders/drivers until you can turn the screws. In the past, you could say you'll just switch to Lyft, but here they're working together. That should tell you something about

Don't have to imagine. We're already there in large part, so that national candidates just have to appeal to a handful of voters in a handful of swing states. This is a good reason to abolish the Electoral College. There are milli

The police are there to notarize your claims to the insurance company, as siblings illustrate. Once you're made whole, do you want to take the time to put a petty thief on trial? Every break-in is not an episode of Law & Order.

The most notable thing about WL Gore is that they have a flat management structure. Everyone’s title is ‘associate’ in a way that’d be laughable at Walmart, they rank each other to distribute compensation, and they own the company. https:&
