That's not how human attention and focus works. There are literally decades of study on this sort of thing. Almost every other major carmaker and autonomous vehicle development company (except Uber, and some poor woman was killed bec

Not gonna argue that integrating with their platform is a gigantic pain in the ass, but I feel that part of it is the flexibility (and complexity) of their subscription model. Would you say different? Not too familiar with the other player

If housing prices were indeed inflated then there's little difference between a "recovery" and the bubble inflating again (assuming prices didn't crash to something well below reasonable value).

The admonishment is deserved; High capital requirements don't necessarily mean high burn rates, they mean that you'd better be damn sure that you have a viable business model to make returns on all that capital. The "unlimi

Interestingly, you decided to frame this as "treating [the women] differently on the basis of sex". Why not "treating [the men] differently on the basis of sex"?

I bought a Honda Fit last year; It's the smallest, cheapest car Honda sells in the US and I don't think anyone would classify it as a luxury vehicle. I'm paying ~$500 a month on a 36 month loan w/ 2% interest (a bit ov

I find it telling that they do not actually say whether the car was in autonomous mode when it ran the red light, only that it was "due to human error". Was the human error that they didn't assume manual control and stop the

Are children of parents who are not able to provide as much as other parents, for whatever reason, not as deserving? Are children to be held accountable for the successes and failures of their parents?

My tax accounting is rusty but my understanding is that unused AMT credits carry forward indefinitely and become refundable after three years. Regular long-term capital losses can also be carried forward indefinitely, offsetting capital ga

I agree that CurrentC will (hopefully) never take off but it has already had a chilling effect on Apple Pay adoption. There are many stores that used to allow NFC tap-to-pay but actually disabled that functionally entirely to prevent peopl

Another issue is the lack of participating banks. All of my credit cards work with Apple Pay (and I use it multiple times a week) but all of my parents' cards and a bunch of my friends' cards are simply not supported. I like Appl

Thanks for sharing! I was initially very happy with Crystal but an ad blocker that doesn't block ads doesn't sound very useful to me.

You prefer targeted advertising to and data collection from children and teenagers to having them get parental approval for what they do online?

Till then, thousands of ad-funded sites will likely go under. Sounds more like getting better before it gets worse to me. I'm sure they'll eventually figure out some other way to shove advertising down our throats but tha
