    I am quite certain that none of that software revenue is recognized in the US. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple%27s_EU_tax_dispute

    This oversimplifies the situation - if every US bank uses SMS and you want to retain a US bank, what do you do?

    It can be costly. I moved from Ireland to the US and kept my Irish number active - the cost was a €5 topup every 6 months. Going in reverse is much harder - a lot of the budget pho…

    Poster said "rocky _previously_ poor outcrop". If you take a look at any of the economic indicators before the early 90s, you'll see a very different picture. There is absolutely n…

    If you take copyrighted material and put it on a daycare mural, then you _intended_ to put copyrighted material on a daycare mural. It is not about intent to damage, it's just pure…

    Congrats on the 17,000€ - happy to hear that this change puts that kind of money into "small" app developer's pockets.

    These results seem selective and flawed to me. For one, the videos keep stopping and pointing out trees/greenery on the "desired" path, but ignore trees on the "fastest" path. Also…

    Sorry to hear you're suffering through this experience. I can emperically recommend Moana (the pixar movie) for perfect familiar background noise - it was my go-to on red-eye fligh…

    If it makes you feel any better, the $349 US price tag doesn't include sales tax, which adds on upwards of $25 depending on where you live.

    It's so sad to hear about mom/mother/maternal so much in that article, and so little about the father's side of things. I want to believe that I can be an emotionally-nurturing inf…

    At a large Seattle-based technology company ~10 years ago, the only way to submit an expense report was via fax "for security", but there were no fax machines in the office, only m…

    Did you read the article? It specifically mentions that the Polish office has workers from India, Chile and Italy

    This sounds like the lipstick effect [0] - consumers buy inexpensive luxuries when they're feeling cash-strapped. Tends to be a leading indicator of recessions (though I don't sugg…

    +1 on recommending CurrencyFair - I've found that their fees tend to be lower than TransferWise and I've always had great service from them.

    The Interactive Brokers $10/month inactivity fee is (kinda) no more - they have a new product called IBKR Lite that has no minimum balance or maintenance fee, but still supports fo…

    I don't even see how it's an industry problem - AT&T didn't do thorough verification before swapping the SIM, there's nothing broader about it.

    In fact, Frontier charges more for the middle seat. I assume this is because middle-seaters are likely to be a couple/family wanting to sit together and forced to pay the premium. …

    This doesn't explain why Norwegian are above to fly transatlantic for as low as $104 one-way (PVD-DUB on Feb 5th). I know that Providence airport likely charges lower fees, but it …

    Likely because the connection is within the US. There are no direct flights SFO to Berlin - only from New York, Philly and (surprisingly) Wilmington.

    This is not true. For example, when I first moved to the US, I was unable to get a "real" credit card, much less a car or home loan. I was effectively required to get a secured cre…

    +1 on that usage. If only Soundcloud/Mixcloud integrated it so you saw the current track while the mix played - likely avoided for copyright deniability?
