You’re going to be matched with the person you married. Tinder is a little thing that that’s not even a flame... much more casual. Less commitment. More swipes.

I'm on an airplane twice a week. It would be awesome to have this and watch movies on it. A personal isolation device.

I think it's going to get as much adoption as the Playstation Move controllers or Microsoft Kinect.

I've had a 401k for 6 years and I've never once used customer service. Also the older you are and the more you've worked the higher your account balance becomes. So once you have people with balances with $1M+ (which if you&

I work out of Chicago about a week a month. Most of my college friends live in Chicago and have very good jobs in the technology and financial industry. Couple that with being able to live in awesome parts of town without even thinking ab

I thought the cash equivalent of the rewards are charged to merchants ontop of the fee? Square etc shelter that from their merchants (which partially explains their losses quarter to quarter). The marginal cost of servicing another person

At a 2% processing fee if you spend 40k a year that's already $800 in revenue for the issuing bank. I don't think that's trivial for a single person.

I'm sure it's gone up, but I think it's still pretty decent. Drinks/food are pretty reasonable. You don't need to live downtown since it's pretty car centric out there. Chapel Hill has that upbeat college fe

Lots of my friends are moving to the Raleigh/Durham/Chapel Hill in North Carolina. They seem to like it a lot. I visit the area about 3-4 times a year and love it.

You can do magnet programs there though. I went to school in Tampa. In general the public schools were awesome, but the magnet programs were absolutely incredible.

I still think they make enough cash on me through the credit card processing fees to make me a profitable customer.

Never knew Over the Rhine used to be the nation's most dangerous neighborhood. I'm on a consulting assignment here in Cinci and I go there all the time for trendy food and bars. Yes it does have pockets where I'm a bit scar

They have a lawyer look over the documentation.

It's still much cheaper than having a Lawyer just look over the forms for you.

I used my the legal plan through my work to get a lawyer to apply for citizenship (document review, walk through the process). She was awful, gave me outdated forms, was condescending, and told me I needed documentation that wasn't ne

Products are standardized not by the franchise, but by the company. Franchise owners cannot use anyone but McDonald's suppliers. In your country they probably haven't rolled out the new menu items, when was the last time you che

You're wrong. The salad is a mixture of kale, romaine lettuce, and other ingredients. Looks like you haven't looked at the ingredient labels. Southwest Grilled Chicken Salad: Ingredients: Romaine Lettuce, Baby Spinach, Carrots,

I very much disagree with this article. I was able to take some courses in Eastern thought, but I think the major problem of this article is how the authors define philosophy. It seems like the authors are confusing the terms theology, cult

I think the liability shifts a little bit because when you're in cruise control you're literally behind the steering wheel. In this case you're outside the vehicle. I think as more autonomous features get developed it's

Most people are probably going to stay at Air BnBs. There literally aren't enough hotels there to support the influx of people there. It was a mess during the world cup and that was held throughout the entire country. The only place

People don't pick words from a fixed distribution in the manner which you wrote. I scanned over 500,000 words I wrote and I never mentioned the word mentioned on the headline of this article. I'm not sure if any kind of meaningf
