I don't think you can claim a loss when the reduction in revenue is due to a reserve. But I'm not a tax lawyer, circumstances may vary, yadda yadda. Accrual of Reserves for Estimated Expenses Although reserves for contingent liabi

Not the original poster, but the book "The Best Way to Rob a Bank is to Own One" by William K. Black (former bank regulator during the S&L crisis) might shed some light onto the S&L crisis, if not 2008's comparative r

One of the only reasons I'm still with Google Voice is because having your number with them mitigates (far as I can tell) SIM swap attacks. Yeah, someone can swap my SIM, but effectively nothing goes to the carrier number, just the GV

This point, mentioned in the article, bears repeating, especially if you aren't familiar with Lastpass or their 2FA: Lastpass uses Yubico's one-time password, which is more similar to TOTP than it is to FIDO's U2F (which Yubi

Thanks for the reply. That makes sense in the context of Secure Value Recovery (to be rolled out, I think); it sounds similar in concept to how 1Password uses a user-derived master password along with a semi-random secret key in order to m

I was a paid user of LastPass for about a decade. I don't mind a subscription-based model, especially if there's cloud-syncing involved (I've evaluated the amount of risk I'm comfortable with, and cloud syncing is fine

The situation in the linked article is way different than what's happening to me. In any case, I appreciate the response and link.

It might be even more vulgar than you described, depending on regionalities. In my experience, 'año' indeed means year, while 'ano' literally translates to anus. It's that extra bit of specificity that kills me.

Take this with a grain or two of salt, as I don't recall the source, but it seems plausible - I read somewhere that when it comes to businesses like bars, at least in the US, there is a normal rate applied to the cable package, and an

Thanks for that. Some of the news sites I had been reading had neglected to mention this (and to be fair, I neglected to catch it) this, and I could swear some had reported that Bitwarden had claimed that this was a difficult issue to solv

I'm in the same boat you are. I'm considering alternatives to Lastpass, mostly because the client has gotten worse over the past few years (since they were picked up by LogMeIn). I don't mind price hikes, but I don't f

To add context, the original awarded amount was calculated to be the revenue of a single day of coffee sales for McDonald's. Stella Liebeck had originally sued for ~$50,000, to cover the cost of her medical bills, which McDonald's

I've noticed the similarity between speech writing/delivery and comedy as well, and find it quite fascinating. The really compelling bit for me is watching a skilled comedian get a feel for the crowd. It's easier to spot wit

I'm not entirely certain you need to go that far. My issue is that most trailers, especially the ~two minute ones, show the majority of the story arc, and either contain spoilers, or hint heavily at those spoilers. That removes dramati

That's never how it works, though. Instead of offering a cheaper TV, they will instead offer a TV priced at what they can sell it for, and make money on the data sale as well. If they WERE to increase the price in exchange for not se

Removing the telemetry on Windows 7 (or 8.1, where I'm at) is far easier than the questionably effective flaming hoops you have to jump through to do the same on 10. It's a matter of uninstalling a few updates and that's more

Removing DRM is no longer so easy, now that Amazon moved their titles to the KFX format. Last I checked, the only way to do this was a clunky workaround involving either not updating your desktop Kindle software past a certain version, or d

Is adding 2FA somewhere on the horizon? I'd prefer something like U2F or possibly the upcoming SQRL, but I'll take anything robust that isn't SMS.
