I spent one month in Patagonia this year. My Patagonia gear held up extremely well while trekking, climbing a mountain, and sleeping in tents and cars.

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.

Gillette actually does have a shave club although it is quite a bit more expensive. It's called Gillette Shave club...

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're actually saving for retirement you'll need), they'll be drawing much more per person.

I think AMEX makes about 65% of its revenue on interchange fees?

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 about the cost, drinks/food that are much cheaper than NYC at the high end, etc. I think it's a great place with awesome people.

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 when they already have a consumer base of people with debt is very small (close to zero). I'm trying to say it's still profitable, but not where they make the bulk of the revenue.

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 feel I love.

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.

You can say the same thing about almost any other kind of comparison that's not strictly numeric. Fact of the matter is, people make comparisons and they're valid for many reasons.

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 scared to walk at night, but not enough so that I don't.

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 needed.

Long story short, I filed by myself and had a friend who is a lawyer review certain parts of my application which I think needed a little extra review.

Something like this is awesome, I'll definitely bookmark it for if I have friends or family going through the citizenship process.

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 checked?

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, Baby Kale, Lollo Rossa Lettuce, Red Leaf Lettuce, Red Oak Lettuce, Red Tango Lettuce, Red Romaine Lettuce, Red Butter Lettuce. Ingredients May Vary.

This is especially true in undergrad papers.

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, culture, and philosophy. Yes, there are major problems with the way that philosophy is taught in the modern university. This attack, however, is unwarranted.

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 going to be complicated for some time regarding who is culpable for a given accident.

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 I could find to stay during the world cup there was an overpriced AirBnb.

It was totally worth it, but I've been wondering since how the hell the city is going to handle that many people there at once.

My entire family has blonde hair and they are from Brazil. They're from Florianopolis though.

Was the copyright claim against you a joke?

Is that really the case?

"What’s remarkable, however, is how much life expectancy increased between 1990 and 2010 in counties of all poverty levels"

Yep, a little joke.

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 meaningful interpretation can be made from the headline, but I think it's an interesting observation nonetheless.
