    I wouldn't be so sure. Jack Daniels sued (and won) against a maker of dog toys that looked like Jack Daniels but were named "Bad Spaniels". Turns out trademark law actually is comp…

    That's one of the arguments being made by TikTok in their challenge against the "TikTok ban" bill.

    Interac is also a for-profit corporation. It's just owned by an association of banks. Zelle would be the equivalent in the US.

    When did Powell try and raise rates early in the pandemic? You might have your timelines confused, it was well before the pandemic.

    $0 with insurance maybe. This is $5 for all your medications, shipped, without insurance necessary. Seems like a pretty good deal IMO, esp. if you're taking multiple medications.

    It's only $250K per account category per bank. So 5 savings accounts would only get $250K in coverage in total.

    It's not that trivial to track down. Say a US company's French subsidiary sold something for $10 in France. If the software is developed in the US, then the US company will sell it…

    Only once, not for every phone. So if you get it once, buying another phone won't renew it. And now it's only 3 months.

    What happens if there is a grandstanding region that simply refuses or can't get it passed into local law due to a euroskeptic local government?

    That's not without risk -- you might have to sell the bonds at a loss if there is a run on the currency.

    Great. You have the freedom to speak, as long as it’s only in your head or into a corner where no one can ever hear you. Freedom of speech doesn’t mean the freedom to make people l…

    Yeah, they don't disclose which is why it's terrible. Are you behind Topstartups? If so, you still haven't answered the question I posed for your website.

    The main thing I'd want to know is whether companies pay to appear in the Top Startups list. I learned Breakoutlist does this a few years back and it destroyed their credibility fo…

    In theory it's all fungible and doesn't work this way. If it did, they would just take out a loan and buyback their stock and skip all the extra steps.

    How would that help if they're having trouble hiring or retaining software engineers?

    You're making a subjective argument but passing it off as if it is objective. It's possible for both a few euros to not be a big deal for my personal budget, but also be something …
