The short answer is it doesn't, it just dials 911. Way, way back in the day when dial-up was a thing, I worked at a company that had an automated system that called a large bank of test numbers to make sure they were still working. Thi

The difference, I think, is that your car can still run on today's gas. The update cycle for modern electronics is planned obsolescence and therefore forces you to participate in the incremental updates. If you don't, eventually a

Out of curiosity why don't you go back? I did and am enjoying work on the new terms that the "cash out" allows me.

If you were doing research that led to a global pandemic that killed millions of people, would you then publish your results? I have a feeling that might not have the effect of showing you're "good for the next one." Obviousl

As someone with significant skydiving experience, good luck doing any of these things your first time out of a plane. Chances are you'll end up on your back, spinning out of control. If you are lucky you'll end up on your belly, s

There are actually a lot of good and decent people there, including children. People that have hopes and dreams for a better life. People who, if given the chance, would love nothing more than to raise their children in a peaceful country w

So don't sell. Rent the house, take the income and move on. I'm building house #8 right now and the rent from the other homes (some of which are now paid off) provides an income to my family that would keep them housed and fed sho

The page is too light on details. What is different about this vs the hundreds of alternatives out there? Why would I switch from a different product? How do I know if I'm your target buyer?

It only applies to investment property. If you own your home the first 250-500k of capital gains is exempt depending on your filing status. 1031 exchanges are a decent amount of work and have some additional requirements (it's not real

It's unlimited opportunity loss. If you sell at say $100 and it goes to $1000 while you're in cash, you "lost" $900 vs your original position. However if you hold at $100 and buy a put for $2 that hedges you, you can sti

What I found interesting about this article is that it isn't based on a correlation of outcomes and vitamin D like most other results are. It's actually looking at potential mechanisms and vitamin D is coming up as a candidate.

Hi Scott, I'm not in this industry anymore but used to work for a company that provides CMS to fortune 500s. A significant portion of our customers used angular (not angularjs). Are you planning on supporting that as well or remaining

No, but they also wouldn't be that effective at taxing wealthy people that would structure their wealth to avoid the tax. That's the issue. You either lower the limit to the point where you capture the upper middle class, or you d
