I clicked through and read the first sentence of the second paragraph: This Wells Fargo Addendum constitutes a legal agreement between you, Stripe, and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., Canadian Branch (“Wells Fargo”). Then, I googled "Wells F

Canadian debit cards run on the Interac system. Generally, they have neither Visa nor Mastercard logos and different numbers. Some don't even have expiration dates because of chip & PIN. This is changing with some banks offering de

That is an agreement with Wells Fargo's Canadian branch/subsidiary. Wells Fargo Canada appears to provide services solely to businesses (i.e. no retail banking) so I believe that this subsidiary has nothing to do with Wells Fargo

The point that the source for that article was making is that FOSS will kill proprietary software, not that necessarily that Linux will (near term) kill Windows. One only needs to look at Microsoft's open source push (e.g. https:&#x2F

I was expecting an article about the crazy traffic in the Bay Area and people working weird hours (6am to 2pm or 1pm to 9pm or crazier) to compensate. I was kind of disappointed by the article decrying workaholism which is by no means requi

Doesn't ACH stand for Automated Clearing House? Which part of the process has yet to be automated? Clearly it is poorly named if it isn't fully automated which seems to be the case. It is possible that it is fully automated but

I agree with you in principle that you shouldn't be forced into binding arbitration a priori before any dispute arises. I disagree with you on the point that I think binding arbitration can be a useful alternative remedy to the tradi

What if a will states that the deceased wants to be cremated with no funeral, wake nor any other ceremony? The wishes of the executor/executrix or next of kin to have a memorial service would likely trump that. I think someone's F

No it's not. The initial property division is done by a will because it is the only neutral way to decide who is to divide up an estate and how they are supposed to do it. If Bob leaves his boat to his daughter Charlotte instead of his

None of the points you list are at all unique to the Bay Area. The person you are replying to is highlighting the high cost of living and tax burden in the Bay Area (relative to other parts of the US). It is disingenuous to respond by claim

Being rich is having enough capital to escape the trap of wage slavery that is a 9-to-5. It is really hard to fathom the idea of money working for you instead of you working for money when $15/hour sounds like a lot of money though so

I found this gem in the source for the $70bn loss figure: By the way, the chance of AOL buying Yahoo is next to never. It is kind of ironic given the Verizon deal which merged it with AOL. https://dealbook.nytimes.com/2010

Anecdotally, I think that traffic from San Francisco to Mountain View on Friday mornings is lighter. I attributed it to people working from home on Fridays while going into the office the other 4 days of the week.

For market overvaluation, it says: 9.1 / 10 "DEFCON 4" DEFCON 5 is peacetime, DEFCON 1 is imminent nuclear war. For example, during the Cuban Missile Crisis, the US reached DEFCON 2. Should this say DEFCON 2 instead? Or is &q

One risk is if the item is perfectly legal and ordinary in the US but is illegal to import into the foreign country. The courier could wind up paying heavy fines or much worse. Kinder eggs are an example of an item that is perfectly fine in

.de and .ru seem to be similar in that regard. Most of the others limit arbitration-related takedowns to trademarks. I would be wary of those which allow broader takedowns. .at hides personal info. .is seems to make name and email public.
