   The stores don't charge sales tax. The state mandates that they collect sales tax. If the state doesn't mandate that the store collect sales tax, the store won't "make" you pay it, though I think technically in most

   Are marketers really putting blind money on Facebook like they do on other forms of offline advertising -- or they did with online advertising during the first dot-com bubble? Or are they putting up money, measuring their CPAs against LTVs

   I don't like the automatic tips for another reason: I'm always skeptical the delivery person actually gets the tip.

   In cases where monthly income is going to fluctuate dramatically, I couldn't imagine NOT doing what you're suggesting. This could go for other jobs besides freelancing, like living off of small business incomes or gambling profess

   That's certainly an ethical code, but a severely lacking one in my opinion. I try to give my business to companies who actually make an attempt to act in an ethical manner, rather than ones who base their ethics and practices on the mi

   My nieces each have Amazon tablets they play games on. I watch them play and they're become experts at clearing out the in-app purchase come-ons. They don't seem to have much of an issue with it, but it annoys me seeing them have

   Thanks for your perspective on tapes. I do have a '98 truck that has a tape player and I hate the tape-to-aux adapter, so maybe I should pick up a few tapes from you for when I dust off the truck for camping :)

   Anyone complaining about vinyl being a hipster thing can now focus their attention on cassettes, which have no redeeming value outside of camp and irony. Bad sound quality, no easy way to move between songs, tape degrades, mechanics of play

    I wanted to get a video baby monitor for my twins, but gave absolutely no thought into getting an internet-connected one. I just didn't see the benefit and it seemed super creepy having the camera accessible over the internet. Now, aft

    I've come up with a pretty cool project with obvious business model this exact way. I started with a new hobby last year, quickly saw some inefficiencies and ways it could be made easier with technology/computing and have started

    Is that a hard number to hit? It seems like it could be, without getting great deals on auctions, where it might be hard to predict necessary repairs.

    In the US, at least, if the supervisors pursued legal action, they'd have a case if their job duties were closer to those of non-exempt employees than exempt ones. Also, this is why labor still organizes in the US, even if organization

    "Even a basic knowledge of labour laws is not a pre-requisite for a career in HR." This is the surprising thing to me. My wife works in HR, but is also an attorney and her boss and boss's boss are also attorneys. They run the

    I don't know how big of a "secret" it actually is -- I think it's just that most people make assumptions about what HR does and why they exist. It's less that the information is hidden and more that people just don&

    I'd think for most toy projects, running more than an EC2 instance or two is overkill. At least in my experiences, running the full stack on a single server works well enough for most hobby projects. I certainly don't want to spen

    I vaguely remember seeing a TV show on amusement parks and thought that mechanics had to check and tighten every every bolt on a roller coaster rather frequently. I wonder if this type of nut would result in any labor savings for them?

    If you haven't signed any binding contract, you aren't under any legal obligation. Early on in my career, around a decade ago, I gave a wishy-washy acceptance that I backed out of a couple of days later. I felt bad doing it, but t

    I have a partial season ticket package with the Cleveland Cavaliers. The Cavs use a system called FlashSeats, which is conveniently owned by the Cavs' majority owner, Dan Gilbert. All of my tickets get automatically added to Flash Seat

    Thanks to couponing, I can get most frozen veggies and rice for free or very close to free. A month ago, I secured a year's worth of toilet paper and shampoo and only had to pay the sales tax on it. But these "free" products

    Vacation is still an option for employers, not a requirement. If the government required vacation time and a company did not previously offer vacation time, it's net-effect would still be an additional tax. I'm not making a moral

    If a company is required to provide paid leave, then that means they are required to pay a person money and aren't getting anything in return for that money. In other words, you're paying a person not to work. It essentially acts

    I think that a lot of people play sports in high school, were in reasonable shape then, and then find themselves in their 20's/30's/etc. in worse shape and uninspired by the routes they can take to get fit. I remember ha
