April Fools or real? Hard to tell this time of year...

50% of your revenue goes towards taxes, office space, and buying products and services to support your business. Healthcare is still by far the biggest cost difference most people …

I don't know that the banks "tell" vendors "This purchase was made with a pre-paid credit/bank card" - I've not seen a flag that shows that before.

It wasn't their production environment that was compromised; it was their source code repository.

I have the same "cold" allergy. I can walk into a room that is 10 degrees F cooler than, say, "normal indoor temperature" and if my quads/thighs are uncovered (shorts, for ex.), I …

This is so great - my 12yo son, a gaming fan, loved it. It inspired him to say, "That's so cool! Can we play Obduction now?" Kids today...

I love that saying. However, don't forget that a lot of really, really smart people put money into Homejoy because they felt Homejoy had solved the market (i.e. there was a market …

I tried reading this on a Samsung Note 4 - the one with the really large screen. I bet I scrolled ten times to get to what I would consider the 3rd paragraph due to all of the ads.…

The human interest side of the story discusses how the founders of one Roaster were interested in the well being of Mexican coffee farmers Which is exactly how one would spin it so…

Tests at two midsized Wisconsin roasteries that agreed to let the news organization analyze the air in their production areas found diacetyl levels from unflavored roasted coffee t…

That doesn't seem like that big of a difference to me. In fact, I'd say the actual headline is more hyperbolic. The inside story of how $1 billion is specifically written to cause …

We're all just commenting on your vague original comment. If you wanted to add context, that was the time to do it - not later as a defense of your original comment. You've specifi…

Sugar is as harmful I think that sort of hyperbole isn't helping any arguments against sugar. No need to ratchet up the rhetoric - this is already a hot topic. Sugar is bad, yes, b…
