Do not donate or help the American Red Cross.

They do almost nothing to help those affected by natural disasters. All they do is setup shelters and feed people in those shelters. They do not help rebuild.

They do an exceptionally poor job at this. Everyone knows about Katrina. In Houston this year, food sat on loading docks downtown while people starved in local shelters. The American Red Cross ran the main shelter so poorly that the city had to build an entirely new shelter and move everyone there...in the middle of a hurricane.

They don’t need your donations. They have a deal with the federal government where they get reimbursed for whatever they spend during a national disaster. The local American Red Cross chapters do this. The national organization does not provide the resources for this.

If you donate to the American Red Cross, you’re throwing your money away. The money won’t go to the local chapters. It won’t go to rebuild. It won’t go to the victims of the natural disaster. Do not donate to the American Red Cross.

Decellerating worldwide and decreasing within a couple of decades.

Disappointed that there's no mention of a discount. Cryptocurrency payments will save them a lot of money. Web/email hosting is an industry with a high risk if fraud.

Musk never knew how to make a good electric car people want to buy so I guess he has nothing to worry about.

This is journalism malpractice. Without any facts the author is trying to link this to the muslim travel ban. Everyone involved says its unrelated.

If the Trump administration did something wrong the facts will come out.

It's public information. The only difference is it's all in one place.

Same account. You can use the Google Voice number to 2FA its associated gmail account. A printed backup key will protect you from getting permanently locked out. But nobody will be able to login without physical access to your device or printed key.

This is how 2FA was meant to work. It should always require a physical device only you have access to. Otherwise it's just using 1FA two times.

Or use a Google Voice number to setup 2FA on the same account. That way you can only ever login if you have a device on your person already logged in. If somehow you're away from technology long enough that all your devices are locked, use a printed backup code to unlock one.

You are driving down the interstate, message pops up saying it needs to refuel, you don't hit the button fast enough, your cars shuts off, and you spend the next 15 minutes parked in the middle of the road with cars honking behind you.

Or you wake up, get dressed for an important meeting, unlock your door, and suddenly realize you're going to be late because your car decided this was the best time to finish refueling in spite of your instructions to refuel at another time of day.

No they can't. It Has been illegal for nearly a century and it id still is illegal to sell telecommunication customers' data. Congress just reversed the FCC rules from October. It has to do with an government agency overstepping their authority and nothing to do with privacy.

Anybody who says otherwise is lying or ignorant of the law regarding CPNI.

Isn't it more likely Harvard threatens to reject applicants with wealthy parents if they don't make a contribution. It's the way the rest of the world works.

The purpose of the H1B is to allow companies to fill a need the labor market cannot supply. It does not exist for the benefit of the worker. It makes no sense to make these portable.

Maybe don't stick your finger in the robot.

> The Pharmaceutical Care Management Association, the industry’s lobbying group, claims that PBMs will save health plans $654 billion over the next decade.

That's about $16 per person per month. Not a very compelling argument for keeping your drug monopolies: eliminating them costs little more than a Netflix subscription.

I only need Twocent to know this is a bad idea.

"Address the issue"

That doesn't mean anything. There's no issue here.

Somehow AirBnB is responsible for stopping racism. Not the police. Not the court system. Not congress. Not the host who cancelled the booking. AirBnB needs to balance the scales of justice. It's a completely rational idea.
