Now if only they can implement something like this for Safari so that individual browser pages are sandboxed from each other, as is the case in Chrome.

Congratulations, Gabriel! I am very happy for you. DDG is my default search engine, and I suggest that friends and family use it. Just wondering why you don't use https as a default setting. Also, sometimes I find the continuous scrolli

Wouldn't radiological and physician services, in general, be less "rare" if medical schools started to train more physicians (admit more students)? I have read studies that suggest that in certain markets and certain practice specialties w

My deepest condolences to you and your family. Thanks for sharing such a heart-felt and moving tribute. She seemed like a model parent and a wonderful person to spend time with. Many lessons for us all to learn from. I know from my own

So Fred Wilson and co. are fine as long as they do not "deceive"? I suppose that still exposes them to the possibility that they might have to defend themselves to prove that they have not "deceived"? Ah, the perils of the internet age.

Just conjecture: senior management in established corporations have stacked the payscales in their favor. I know senior managers in established corporations who have received ridiculously large bonuses and stock option grants for doing no

This is great for CMU but it has a long way to go to catch up to the endowments of its peer institutions -- both on a gross and on a per capita basis.

Very interesting employee "benefit." I wonder if it would be considered as an employee benefit subject to reporting requirements / oversight by the U.S. Department of Labor or other federal agency?

It was inevitable that something of this nature was bound to occur eventually. The folks at AirBNB should have had better policies and procedures in place to help to avert and react to such situations.

Kudos to sanetax, but my earnest hope is that tax reform will abolish the use case for such a service.

Airbnb has definitely tapped into a latent market, but I wonder how such "rentals" may square with terms in lease agreements or condo association provisions. States and / or municipalities may quickly try to capture taxes, as Zipcar has di

I for one would not want to associate myself with Russian wealth regardless of how squeaky clean Yuri or his firm might potentially be. On that latter point, I would try to conduct extensive due diligence on them and their investors. It s

There are tons of such activities in the DC area. I have lived in DC for a few years, and I suspect that the OP was not keyed into such activities in the DC area. There is a very large population of highly educated individuals in the DC a

Just because everyone says it does not mean that "we care about privacy" is a meaningless statement. It is a statement of conviction and demonstrates respect and care for its users. We can only imagine why this statement was deleted. On

Many private health insurance policies feature annual out-of-pocket maximums (for deductibles, co-payments, etc.) so that you do not have a potential limitless liability for out-of-pocket cost-sharing during a given plan year - unless, of c

Agree with other posters. If you do not work for a sizable private or public employer, health insurance can be costly. I have a fairly good deal with the health savings account I have - about 150 / mo and 1200 per annum deductible - for a

I dislike the term "hacker." It can and does have nefarious connotations that demean the term. I prefer "programmer," "developer," or "coder." Why run the risk of having someone misperceive your use of the term
