Part of it also is that Giphy has licensing agreements with media rights owners to create gifs based on their content . . . they're not just indexing existing gifs. https://www.wir…

I'm in your boat . . . I have a 4. I've used Uber only once - to help my mom to a doctor's appointment after she broke her hip. I guess we were slow and a bit of a burden . . .

It's an unfortunate situation. I wonder if perhaps it could have been mitigated by small changes to the wording to make it gender neutral: "A Relationship with Maven..." - Looks Gr…

Oh indubitably! It was really more of a rhetorical question, but it is my biggest lingering gripe and wish the segmentations would work in my favor to make it a viable/valuable opt…

As a proud Gen 1 Surface Pro owner, this looks spectacular. My Surface replaced my laptop, and while I definitely had my issues with the transition (trackpad sucks so often use ext…

I have a dual citizenship . . . U.S./France. While I live in the U.S., I may try this with my French passport.

In response to cperciva's comment . . . Statistically? Sure . . . on an individual basis? Should be irrelevant . . . that's why we base employment decisions upon the resume of the …

Key difference . . . names are chosen by a person's parents, while email addresses are chosen by a person for themselves. Focusing on the name, which the person can't control, inst…

I gush about Slovenia all the time. During my 3 years living in Europe, it was probably my favorite place to travel to . . . absolutely gorgeous country and great people . . . also…

I've read this piece tons of times and whenever it finds me (as now), I never pass up an opportunity to read it again. I can't tell you how many people I've sent this to, or shared…

>No. The tax event is on the grant, not capital gain (therefore capital loss does not cancel). Furthermore, if I fall under AMT (very likely), I can't deduct anything. Ooph . . . s…
