    I've done migrations off my. Savings were 8+ figures/year, so worth it, but, the application didn't have a lot of development. Several companies tried and failed; in addition to al…

    When banks created derivatives that could only be fairly valued by the bank, with 5% profit margins built in, it got them a trip to Congress. SGPs have margins that would make opti…

    You can also get an Edison screw to nema base and stick a USB adapter in it and use that to power a camera for about the same price

    One school that did this reported more face to face time. Unfortunately they used it to gamble on poker games, so I'm not sure it improved well-being

    This is terrible. Taxis don't require fingerprints. This drives up the cost of providing a service for a population that doesn't have much money to begin with. It is ostensibly saf…

    Tenants will have more cash each month. Tenants bid up rents to the point of affordability, and they'll become more affordable. Furthermore, there will be more would-be tenants b/c…

    I had to watch a video about this issue 20 years ago. If the company can't trust you with small amounts of money, they can't trust you at all. I've seen people forfeit bonuses over…
