Can someone explain how they can detect if you are in incognito mode? I didn't understand the article's explanation. From what I understand, it checks if you can store cookies. But doesn't incognito store cookies until you cl

It's a shame that thinkpads are becoming less and less modular and functional. Some of my favorite functionalities are: * Red nub. I use it exclusively, the track pad is disabled and serves me no purpose * Hot swappable battery. I have

I guess you'll have to be in such a situation to find out. I have an ancestor who moved to America as an Orthodox Jew in the early 1900s. He would find work on Monday, and work until Friday. If the employer wouldn't let him take S

The problem is that the taxes are zero for specific businesses. If I want to open a business in New York, I'd get nowhere near as much of a tax break that Amazon got. I agree that business taxes should be low, but they should also be c

The more information they have the better it is for me. The reason that I use insurance is to lower the variance significantly while only slightly lowering the expected value. Now, if they had an oracle that could see the future, then there

That's my point. How would you like it if you had to pay just as much in flood insurance as someone with a beach front property in Florida? If I had to, I would try to make beachfront properties in Florida illegal.

If that is what you want then that is okay. You can pay for that type of insurance. I prefer to buy life insurance from a place that will charge me a lower rate because I don't drink or smoke. I assume that most people who don't d

Talented employees have the least to lose. They can simply switch to a higher paying job. If the minimum wage that the union negotiates is lower than what I can get, then the minimum wage is useless for me.

So the valuable employees pay a percentage of their paycheck as union fees, so that the union can negotiate the salary of the not so valuable employees? That of course leaves less money for the high value employees. If the company was a fac
