I feel that there are structural problems with this business concept that wouldn't be solved by a bank partner / additional capital / etc. Note that I am not a parent. The fact is that kids should not be paid for chores on a

Wow. “We basically said, ‘We strive to be safe in every way to the consumer, and this is exactly what we do, and we welcome dialog’” Sounds like they are playing with fire (sorry). I sincerely hope that the laws are in place to send the pri

There was something about typing out commands on a keyboard and sending them to a 7-segment LED array that you wired up yourself, that isn't really comparable to an Arduino.

It's not all being "driven" per se from within the tech industry. For example, John Deere is making huge advances in agricultural equipment that's going somewhat unnoticed in Silicon Valley -- but these are combines that

But "accessibility issues" could completely change the way people learn. What if each student could access the kind of instruction one gets at Philips Exeter or Princeton University? Or what if the tailored aspect of private instr

Illegal to own a bike without a serial number? That sounds like overkill.

Interesting choice of Tubman. Is she the most important woman in American history? I don't know that much about her, I'll read up on Wikipedia later today.

Well, the housing market behaves in extremely irrational ways because the decisions have so much impact on people's lives. It doesn't behave like the market for tomatoes or aluminum.

It would be incredibly bold for a major subscription content vendor, such as the NYTimes, to set up such a program. You sign into your NYTimes account, and sites around the web either become available to you, hide their advertising for you,

Sure it will help them. Paying a $1200 rent in San Francisco is much harder with a $10 wage than paying a $200 rent in Alabama with a $8 wage. It may not help them enough, but it will help.

"no, I don't think they suspect I'm auditing them or anything along those lines" How can you be sure of this? When you're dependent on an organization for your paycheck, it's best not to say bad things about th

This isn't an unusual phenomenon at all. If a person asks their 75 closest friends whether they own a snowmobile, the answer is likely to be 0 or a lot. Nobody's friends constitute a random sample.

For a luxury car, looks matter a lot for the success of the vehicle, but for family/utility cars, I don't think they matter that much. Minivans are horrendous looking but popular for their utility.

They must have done something right, because the Model S was deemed "the best car ever, by a huge margin" by several of the leading automotive journals. Is the source of all those benefits the electric drivetrain?

I think there's a market size problem here. I just don't want to eat with strangers. I have stayed with strangers in AirBnBs to save money, but far prefer whole-apartment pseudohotels. But the stay is not the benefit I'm rece
