You can get a Nissan Pathfinder or a Honda Odyssey minivan with automatic 6 cylinder engines, faster performance, better gas mileage, and room for an entire family

Kind of a shame, as lots of people basically just want a room to sleep in and a place to sit

I've done migrations off my. Savings were 8+ figures/year, so worth it, but, the application didn't have a lot of development. Several companies tried and failed; in addition to all the issues described, you find random bugs in the source coffee that just happen to work.

When banks created derivatives that could only be fairly valued by the bank, with 5% profit margins built in, it got them a trip to Congress.

One school that did this reported more face to face time. Unfortunately they used it to gamble on poker games, so I'm not sure it improved well-being
