I wouldn't be so sure. Jack Daniels sued (and won) against a maker of dog toys that looked like Jack Daniels but were named "Bad Spaniels". Turns out trademark law actually is complex. https://www.today.com/fo

Interac is also a for-profit corporation. It's just owned by an association of banks. Zelle would be the equivalent in the US.

$0 with insurance maybe. This is $5 for all your medications, shipped, without insurance necessary. Seems like a pretty good deal IMO, esp. if you're taking multiple medications.

It's only $250K per account category per bank. So 5 savings accounts would only get $250K in coverage in total.

It's not that trivial to track down. Say a US company's French subsidiary sold something for $10 in France. If the software is developed in the US, then the US company will sell it to the French subsidiary for $9, so then they onl

Only once, not for every phone. So if you get it once, buying another phone won't renew it. And now it's only 3 months.

That's not without risk -- you might have to sell the bonds at a loss if there is a run on the currency.

Great. You have the freedom to speak, as long as it’s only in your head or into a corner where no one can ever hear you. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean the freedom to make people listen, but the government can’t make that choice for people.

Yeah, they don't disclose which is why it's terrible. Are you behind Topstartups? If so, you still haven't answered the question I posed for your website.

The main thing I'd want to know is whether companies pay to appear in the Top Startups list. I learned Breakoutlist does this a few years back and it destroyed their credibility for me.

In theory it's all fungible and doesn't work this way. If it did, they would just take out a loan and buyback their stock and skip all the extra steps.

Google's official stance is they target 75 percentile pay, not > 95. So not too far off from MS. My guess is they use different peer companies.

You're making a subjective argument but passing it off as if it is objective. It's possible for both a few euros to not be a big deal for my personal budget, but also be something that is not justified as a price increase.

Where did they say it was "make-or-break"? You can be upset about a 30% increase in prices with no added value while still being able to afford the increase.

This seems like a strawman. You could almost definitely ask/warn the user when they set the cap, or you could make the cap not apply to anything that is not trivially recoverable.
