46% of Costco shoppers are middle class (earning $40k-$125k) and 33% are upper class and according to market research companies.

Membership is $65.

You don't need an SUV to shop at Costco, it is easy to load the groceries into a sedan.

The same person built both of these.

This article is about how Javier Bardem, Joaquin Phoenix, Emma Stone, and Mark Ruffalo are blacklisted from Paramount. Which one of those actors are Jewish?

Is this realistic though? Every time you update a dependency you would have to read its source (and its source dependencies, and their source dependencies...)

To do that well, it would be someone's fulltime job to read and do security audits on all those dependencies.

I agree with both of you.

> Glad this won't be an issue going into the next presidential election.

I wish this was true. But I think the decision will increase the discussion of marriage equality in the next election. Just look at the political impact abortion had after the supreme court decided Roe v. Wade. Abortion was used to galvanize conservative votes against liberals and SCOTUS.

Has anyone used a service like https://www.equidateinc.com. They help you "sell" the right to buy your stock options to a third party. From their site:

> Traditional stock sales are time consuming, expensive, and clutter a company's cap table. Now it's easier: the Equidate contract transfers the economic upside and downside of your shares without actually selling them. It honors all exisiting transfer restrictions on your stock, and your identity is kept private throughout the entire process.

> The contracts Equidate has designed have aspects similar to both a derivative contract and a asset-backed loan. The result allows an investor to purchase the rights now to the economic upside/downside of a share now, without going through the complications of adding additional shareholders to the company's cap table or the hassles of a secondary stock transaction, postponing any transfer of shares until the company is ready.

Just for reference, that situation doesn't apply to California because of [Prop. 13](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_13_%2819...). It restricts the annual increases of property taxes to an inflation factor, not to exceed 2% per year.
