Beyond Apple accessories, Amazon is getting more and more unusable. With electronics and fashion, it's due to wading through fakes. But in virtually any category, the problem is wading through tens of thousands of results. The review

Most of that was vacation followed by a week of domestic work travel when I got back.

I've flown 25k miles in the last three weeks across 5 countries. Every airline mentioned this. American, Japan Airlines, Dragonair, Cathay Pacific, Etihad, JetBlue and Southwest.

In the US, most companies aren't hiring janitors, they outsource it to a facilities management firm or it's handled by building management. I'm also not sure how that's relevant.

I used to be in a long-term relationship with a chem undergrad at Caltech. I saw her all-nighters and stress first-hand. The workload drove her to attempted suicide (and had she gone through with it, hardly would've been the first su

Where in Houston? My experience was that Houston was had lots of green space.

I lived in Houston for five years. Also lived in the SFBA, San Antonio, Strasbourg and currently Boulder. Yes, Houston gets a lot right.

I've found that there is no correlation between Yelp ratings of a coffeeshop and actual coffee quality. It's just not what reviewers are necessarily looking for, especially compared to things like power outlets and ambience.

That's what I did. I was fresh out of a college nobody's heard of, joined a startup as their first employee and eventually networked my way into a big tech company. Nearly doubled my salary when I eventually jumped.

I don't think a $1 million seed counts as "well-funded" and certainly isn't somewhere you expect large compensation. Startups pay below-market salary, especially at the seed stage. Maybe you have a big equity grant but

Having a history with a bank has no impact whatsoever on your credit report.

You can open a secured credit card, never use it and after a year convert it to an unsecured credit card, getting your deposit back. And you would never have been in debt.

Err, Global Entry is a members-only program. Unless you're actually a member (or a member of a similar program in a country with a reciprocal agreement), of course you can't use those kiosks. GE doesn't match by name and bir

There's absolutely no need to take out a penny in loans to build a credit score. That's a myth.

I can create an LLC in about two minutes for $50 right now . If I really wanted to I could probably script Selenium to turn the Colorado Secretary of State's website into an API and throw it on Heroku. Really is that easy: https:&#x

Maybe in Europe it's different, but in Colorado I keep my LLC maintained and compliant for a couple hundred bucks a year. It's almost no work.

The US government knows that our European allies spy on us all the time. That's been known since the founding of the nation. They don't make a stink about it because you don't rock the boat when you don't need to. Advi

This is hardly an area where startups are on the leading edge. > For one contract, in July 2000, Enron and Blockbuster Video signed a 20-year agreement to introduce on-demand entertainment to various U.S. cities by year-end. After severa
