That makes sense, and I like your level of focus. How are banks responding to your services? In insurance, we’re having a very soft market due to all the capital sloshing around the system. I imagine it can be challenging for lenders to imp

I work in insurance, which I imagine faces similar challenges to banks. I’d like to know more about what you’re working on and your approach.

FWIW, to the extent you spoke out in protest of unfair working conditions, it possibly could have been a violation of federal labor laws. http://www.nlrb.gov/rights-we-protect/protected-concerted-ac... Yes, most employ

I'm a current Tonx subscriber, and I bought Blue Bottle when you could only get it from that hole in the wall on Linden Lane. But for some reason this announcement still feels like a loss to me. It's probably my aversion to all th

Alpha House was really, really good. Even so, I wouldn't sign up for Prime just for Alpha House. If Amazon is serious about it's own content, bundling it with a free 2-day shipping subscription probably doesn't make sense.

He was very smart, and his lectures were a lot of fun. What made him a great poetry teacher was that he didn't care about what poems "mean"; what mattered was the effect they had on the reader. I can't tell you how liberating this was. For

+1 for Stephen Booth. I was fortunate enough to take his 17th century English poetry class at Cal. He's the only lecturer who could make poetry resonate with my geek brain. It's funny how some classes stay with you over the years.

I'm not too keen on trademark law, but as I understand it the point to including an (R) symbol is to provide notice that a mark is registered with the USPTO. Why does notice matter? It doesn't excuse infringement if the (R) is missing. Howe
