FB has always censored many of its media. I have no doubt WhatsApp will be the next.

It's a government regulation.

An employee can perform terrible for many reasons one cannot control. For example, intro team communication.

In order to avoid future lawsuit, Amazon has to set up an independent project without any external dependency for the person under PIP and document all the progress. So that the person being PIP cannot sue his employer inthe future.

Mmm... Chrome won't accept 3rd party cookies to protect user's private. Meanwhile, Chrome is forcing all gmail users to upload their browse histories to Google. In the end, only Google has access to our browse history and can dominate the web ad market.

Be careful, exactly 10 years after I cancelled my Netflix, Netflix started to charge my card again. I contacted Netflix, but they cannot did anything about it. I ended up having my card issuer to issue a new account number to me.

You can use Quicken. It is a desktop software and does not store your data/password in the cloud.

Credit Card referral was/is a big business. I remember personal finance bloggers were making $50 dollar for each referral. If mint can convince each customer to get a new card every year, it will be a 500 million dollars business. It is not huge but a sustainable business.

> Many personal finance products are free, but make money by selling data or trying to upsell you on something else that you don't need (like, say, a credit card you don't need or a tax product that is overpriced [2]). This is what happened with Mint. It became a "top-of-the-funnel" lead generation tool for other products.

Question about MonarchMoney. Is it going to be a cloud service or a standalone old-fashion desktop software? Most of serious personal finance people would prefer desktop software in order to protect their own data. However, most consumers prefer a free and hosted solution. Which market is MonarchMoney going after?
