I'd be more inclined to fall in line with their data collection practices if dental insurance wasn't so utterly useless as an insurance product. It almost always makes sense to save the premium payments up and pay out of pocket fo

Come to South Asia -- Bangladesh, India, Pakistan. Weak institutions and governments concerned solely with infighting mean that your IP is probably safe from marauding governments. All your clothes are already made there, why not your elect

I look forward to Uber Airlines in that case.

Looks like it's being brought in line with data practices at Facebook. This isn't an entirely bad thing.

If Zuckerberg has any game at all, he will welcome this investigation, 'educate' the regulators, and then build a regulatory moat around Facebook that no one can breach. The big four banks did this after 2009, and they are even mo

Your previous brokerage will still send you a transcript of everything at account closure, which provides a baseline for comparison with your new account. OP's argument that "it's too hard" is not adequate justificatio

When I was growing up in Bangladesh in the early 90s, the only channel on TV had continuous ads for Orsaline (Pedialyte in the US) and what to do if you didn't have (or couldn't afford) it when your child was ill. I have long sinc

It's open sourced from an investment bank, so you'll never see it updated again. Beware of integrating it into your projects. Good on whoever took on legal to get this out the door though. Hope you make it to MD or whatever it is
