I think you're underestimating the size of 200. ADA compliance is a worthy cause, but at that level of effort I think it would make more sense to create an advocacy group and try to bring about compliance through public pressure than

When one person associated with the attorney is a plaintiff in 200 lawsuits, it does start to seem opportunistic. Nevertheless, I can't understand why someone would open a cafe in 2007 at a site that wasn't compliant with a 1990 l

If these investments of yours were as much of a sure bet (or adequately sure bet) as you're suggesting, banks would simply cut out the middle-person (i.e. the borrower) and invest in these things directly.

I don't think it rises to the level of dishonesty, but I do think the writer should not have included something as unknowable and irrelevant as the possible hidden motives of these agencies. Nevertheless, suing these agencies to preven

Just because your economic situation is unsustainable where you are doesn't mean you'd be better off someplace else. If you arrive in a new city without a job and without connections, you're in trouble from the moment you ge

Laptops can be carried to meetings, so you always have your whole setup with you, and they make it easier to do work someplace other than your desk.

I really like Bandcamp's articles. They're hyping material on their own platform of course, but you can give it a quick listen on-the-spot, and if you like it, that's a win for you, the artist, and Bandcamp. If you don&#x27

I find it really hard to believe that the fund can be generating returns so consistently by pursuing a variety of different strategies over time. It seems very unlikely that Renaissance/Medallion constantly finds these things, whereas

Written language can be used to overturn history as well as reinforce it. In this case, the article mentions "meatier yields", and that two-word combination by itself is something I would bet on in a fight against any article-leng

Governments are unlikely to give cryptocurrencies the same legal privileges as the currencies they issue. As such, traceability will remain a risk for anyone receiving cryptocurrency payments. If a chain analysis reveals an illegal transac

What if governments define every output to a mixer transaction to count as receiving stolen goods if any of the inputs are the result of criminal activity? Apart from that, every option you suggested just hands the problem off to the ne

I don't think the direction would ever be clear, even if the legality were clearly established. The arms race would intensify, and detecting/blocking/deceiving scrapers might become a lucrative field. Companies want to provi

I just realized you can do a Picardy third with a millennial whoop over it!

It's like the opposite of a "millennial whoop", major-izing a minor chord instead of emphasizing the minor interval in a major chord, only more drastic because of the key change.

Actually now that you mention it the bathrooms in Sweden when I visited were notably magical. Maybe the author of the article should write about how many bathrooms Swedes have, installed in series every 10 years rather than in parallel when

American houses have too many square feet, and about enough bathrooms. I don't see how a three-bedroom 1-bathroom house is compatible with two people getting to work on time, especially with kids around throwing things off-schedule.

Why would you do all that? I've seen many 1950s-vintage houses where the sink and toilet have been replaced once, with no further changes, and they're fine. No on should hate brown tile so much that they spend so much money to t
