Usually the financial aid office includes (extra) generous allowances for food, travel, and rent expenses that may be included in your student loans. Any credit card debt is on top of all of that.

I think that for me this only makes sense for projects that have no explicit deadline. For a procrastinator, a deadline is the only thing that matters. I can block off all the time that I want to for a project, but if my brain is in procr

Does anyone know what this actually means? Yodlee seems to already have a beta of their API available for developers ( http://www.finappstore.com/howTo.html ). However, it's unclear whether they charge for API access. Perhaps this is a p

I suspect the board of governors got sick of dealing with the escalating costs of labor (fixed in arbitration with unions) and had to figure out a way to really get Congress' attention once and for all. They are warning about impending bank

I think I agree with the gist of what you're saying, but saying "Time has no cash value" is overly broad and a bit silly. Do you think interest rates only exist to hedge against inflation?? What is the value of angel investors??

I'm an organizer of the 3 Day Startup here at UT Austin. We concentrate on bringing together students from a variety of disciplines here at UT, but we are open to students and (especially strong) non-students from anywhere. The event is t

Majority(5): Business methods are not categorically barred, but this particular patent is not eligible subject matter under 101 because it encompasses an "abstract idea." Machine-or-transformation test is NOT the exclusive test, but no fur

The social stigma associated with vocational and trade schools needs to end, and the university "experience" is BS. I imagine a big opportunity to fill the social needs of young people that don't go to college (even beyond selling them alco

Giving the other investors the opportunity to participate on a pro rata basis isn't per se "fair." The technique can be used to freeze out other shareholders that don't have the liquid capital to participate in the transaction.

This looks interesting, but I'm thrilled to hear that you are actually talking to customers first. Listen to them. Nits: 1) I don't like that the 3 sellings points on the splash screen are aligned with 3 unrelated feature images. I was ex

They are hard because there is always risk that an "obvious" decision will create civil or criminal liability. A lawyer can help you assess and mitigate that risk.

I don't have a link handy on my phone, but The Economist discusses this issue in an article this week about Europe's existential crisis with the currency system. I think one of Italy's ministers mentions joining the EU specifically to force

I saw the chairman of their board speak not long ago, and it turns out the biggest problem is that USPS can't fire any of their union employees, who consistently get awarded UPS salaries + 15-20% in arbitration.

What specific rules do you refer to? I'm not under the impression that things have ever been any better elsewhere. Europe does recognize "prior user rights," which is a step in the right direction, but (at least in the UK) it still requir
