Probably depends on a site's audience. I know in the financial industry that an unfortunately large amount of people still use IE8 as many vendor websites require it (long live Active X). But I imagine the visitors to many B2C websites

Sometimes software solves a problem you didn't know you had. Both Facebook and Twitter for example. Also, "real problems" is pretty subjective.

Actually I have two kids. As I suspect many of the people on the 534 bus in LA did. "What you may save in rent, you lose in every other aspect of daily life." What you're suggesting is that you might value the other aspects i

Really? Absolutely no other options? I lived in LA for many years and I took the bus for a lot of them. I saw people commute for up to two hours across the city to get to work and the same amount home. I agree that is not ideal. But one opt

I don't read this site very often but did read this article about renting vs. buying using Toronto as an example. With his math you come out way ahead by renting in a new building downtown vs. buying a house in the suburbs. http:&#x2F

I don't see how offering somebody a place to live at a price they agree to can possibly be called extortion.

That is definitely lower than I have seen (edit: for mid-sized plans at least). Thank you for bringing that to my attention. Is that advisory only? I don't see any mention of that including recordkeeping and custodial services in that

I think you are onto something there. I feel like it usually is the C-level exec that feels he can out perform both the advisor's models and the market in general.

A lot of plans (well, a growing number) are now offering a self-directed brokerage account so that participants can opt out of the preselected investment options and pick their own. You should ask your H.R. department about adding that as a

I cannot speak for Captain401 but employers (the plan sponsor) can transfer their fiduciary duty to their investment advisor by electing 3(38) services rather than the standard 3(21) services. That doesn't remove all of the obligations

From my experience costs for a 401(k) can be all over the board and the larger the plan the less the fees will be as a percentage of assets. I've seen as low as 20 bps and as high as 100 bps. The fees usually involve an advisor fee, a

You threw in a comment about vibe at the end and I agree with you but I think you are underselling it. I think vibe energizes to a very large degree (and is not a Bay area exclusive). I lived in LA for fifteen years and there was always a s
