It looks like Hangouts can make free calls, but GV cannot. At least according to their respective descriptions in the Play store. That seems like a major downgrade.

Tally appears to do no underwriting it simply offers you a lower rate than your current cards offer and allows you to pay all the bills at once? Or does Tally have a proprietary method to tell which borrowers are worthy of a lower rate, the

Hold on, so we call it "Mind Control" when Google shifts our preferences toward one of two pre-selected choices? What do we call the state of the world that leaves us with only 2 pre-selected choices who happen to agree on 90%+ of

This is a great idea - is there any reason why there isn't a generally accepted coding equivalent of a CPA or a CMT or any of the other very successful professional certification programs out there? Does the field move too quickly? Is

What are the potential returns to "winning a market" that has no IP protections, no barriers to entry, and a host of substitutes? I would argue that the industry characteristics suggest that any winners in this market will have lo
