Is the amount you pay for health care because of specific issue that you have or is it a regional thing? I've been paying ~$80/month for high-deductible (but 100% after the deductible) health care for a few years. My HSA account will now co

Perhaps whether they call you after the limit depends on why you went over the limit. It should be easy to determine if the reason you went over is a torrent (even if they can't figure out what torrent), video streaming, or something else

The manufacturer suggests a retail price, but it is up to the retailer to determine what the consumer ultimately pays. This is quite different because in retail the wholesale cost is negotiated between the manufacturer and retailer. There

I'm sure we'll know soon enough, but I wonder how much this affects battery life. When apps like TomTom GPS go into the background and keep using location services, my entire battery can be used in just an hour or less it seems.

Not that it makes it better, but I'll point out that Yahoo is now deleting inactive email accounts as well.

And the difference is very small. The risky option was chosen by 41% of MAOA-L carriers, and 36% of MAOA-H carriers. In other words, knowing which version of the gene someone had would tell you absolutely nothing about them.

If you spend 250,000 frequent flyer points on a vacation, it's not free. This is not just because you had to spend money to get those points (which might have been spent on cash back credit cards for example), but because those points have

Yes, but instead of seizing MC/Visa's assets, the government can treat the companies unfairly in arbitrary antitrust lawsuits, not protect the companies from unjust foreign action, and pass regulations that limit the abilities of the compan

While I might agree that the worried about an X-ray scan are overblown (I assume that is your position), that number is looking at a whole body number. Part of the argument is that the amount may be significantly higher because the dose i

On the other hand, if Apple really didn't want to allow the app, and only did so to satisfy regulators, they can do their best to slow and stall on every change that Google submits.

The reviews are public, but you choose a nickname to identify you (you're not identified by your Google account). The "friends" feature lets you get recommendations from those people. In addition, a friend sees your Google Profile name and

What's your citation for that? I've never heard of this and there's no mention of it on the TSA website.

Often duty-free items are delivered to you at your gate as you board or on the plane. In fact, lately, that's the only option I've seen at airports.

For an American-operated startup, in what way does this actually save you money? Assuming you don't withhold information and lie, the IRS and your state will still tax you on pretty much all of your income anyway.

Another reason is that it doesn't often actually save you money in taxes. If you are operating in California, you'll still pay taxes in California even if you are incorporated in Bermuda. What it might save you money on is paying taxes on r

It's worth noting that they are already starting to do this in very small ways. Many high end cars will now automatically apply the brakes if you get too close to the car in front of you on the highway, for example.

I think there may be some truth to this. Even when the developing company is European, they often rely on the American market to fund much of the research.

This was very exciting to me until I realized that you don't actually get to read books this way. It's limited to book samples. Still, it has some usefulness.

Don't most of the groupons have a policy that if you don't use it by the expiration date, you can still redeem it at the price you originally paid for it?

Well for one thing, it would be easy to verify whether or not Groupon is lying here, by talking to other companies that have used Groupon. If they are caught lying, it will hurt their reputation, especially when they are in reputation-prote

You make very good points, and I think it's far from proven that alcohol actually is good for you or that raising HDL by itself is a good idea (in fact, there are some populations with low HDL but very low CVD). Probably another overlooked

by travisp 16y ago
While true, it's not just correlation that alcohol may be good for you. There's growing evidence that, among other things, alcohol boosts your HDL (good) cholesterol. For one controlled study see: http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/content/

I would agree that the guy didn't act with the best courtesy or thoughtfulness, but it's a far cry from the behavior of the attendant calling the cops. Assuming that this description is accurate, of course.

Except that by doing this you can (in theory) make traffic actually move faster, so there will ultimately be less passing.
