That’s right, 99. Some are my own, some are culled from other sites, all I agree with. Well, most; some are jokes, obviously. As you read these, remember the thing about red flags: they are warnings of potential problems, not necessarily deal-breakers. No one is perfect, so you will probably have a red flag or …

If the taxicab industry was so heavily regulated, how did Uber, with its notorious disregard for rules, break into it? The answer is different depending on the jurisdiction. But the story of how Uber emerged victorious in New York City is an interesting and mostly forgotten one — and offers a look into the mechanics of how the Internet has allowed companies to remake the way the world works while technically playing by the rules.

Olive Garden commercials are way too complex for artificial intelligence to recreate.

Despite caffeine's many benefits, there's a belief out there that a daily coffee habit can cause dehydration. So is it true? Not according to the findings of a new study. Researchers at the University of Birmingham in the U.K. studied the fluid levels of 50 men who had a habit of consuming about three to six cups of coffee each day.

By renovating a symbol of the city’s decline, the company hopes to create a magnet for the talent needed to prevail in the next automotive era.

The people of Easter Island may have adorned their monumental statues with massive stone ‘hats’ by rolling the headgear up gentle ramps. The iconic statues of Easter Island, which is also known as Rapa Nui, were built after people reached the island in the thirteenth century. Sean Hixon at Pennsylvania State University in University Park and his colleagues sought to understand how the hats — the heaviest of which weighs nearly 12 tonnes — were hefted onto the lofty statues.

The specimens, the oldest known, were excavated from northern Myanmar.

Retailers say returns are costing them a fortune. But in a new NPR/Marist poll, about 90 percent of online shoppers say they rarely or ever return orders. For many, it's not worth the hassle.

The price hasn't changed in nearly 35 years. What kind of sorcery is this?

New gut bacteria can expand the diet of animals like koalas and rhinoceroses.

He had a chance to study with a renowned professor. But his (now ex-) girlfriend intercepted a scholarship offer and turned it down.

Mao’s face is still everywhere in modern China. But now Xi Jinping is ready for his close-up.

I was watching the movie Sex Drive with my friend Alex Wise a relationship coach and Loveawake site co-founder. The movie took us back to our high school days…

The Beale ciphers promise to change your life. Turns out, they could also ruin it.

I spent a few summers as a bartender-in-training at a local restaurant. One afternoon, sometime around the 4th of July, an older man came and sat at the bar alone. I hadn’t had many conversations with customers besides the usual small-talk as I was only a trainee — most of my work was cutting limes and bussing dishes — but my colleague at the time was occupied. “Afternoon sir. What can I get for you today?” I said. He said to me something I will never forget...

Long ago, the region lay under an ice sheet thousands of feet thick. It terminated abruptly in what are now the boroughs, leaving the city with a unique landscape.

Millennials face unique financial struggles, and those born in the 1980s might have the worst of it. This millennial cohort is at the risk of becoming a "lost generation" that accumulates less wealth during their lives, according to a new report by the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis.

The robotic foot became a seamless part of the patient’s body in a way that has never been accomplished before with a prosthetic limb, scientists reported Wednesday.

In a small study, doctors used so-called fecal transplants to treat a serious gut infection in patients. The transplants, from healthy donors, were as effective as antibiotics.

Even gut microbes have a routine. Like clockwork, they start their day in one part of the intestinal lining, move a few micrometers to the left, maybe the right, and then return to their original position. New research in mice now reveals that the regular timing of these small movements can influence a host animal's circadian rhythms by exposing gut tissue to different microbes and their metabolites as the day goes by. Disruption of this dance can affect the host. The study appears December 1 in Cell.

Everything and anything that has value will eventually be tokenised. I believe, that what HTML has done for content, Blockchain will do for value and all its related transactions. This is the evolution of the internet to “Internet 3.0.” It is inevitable, and in my opinion, unstoppable.

Dating sites can be great…or they can be a total nightmare. Pretty much every terrible thing you’ve heard is true. But it’s possible to find people.

It is a scene that plays out each weekday morning across Tokyo. Suit-clad office workers, gaggles of schoolchildren, and other travelers gamely wend their way through the city’s sprawling rail stations. To the casual observer, it is chaos; commuters packed shoulder-to-shoulder amid the constant clatter of arriving and departing trains. But a closer look reveals something more beneath the surface: A station may be packed, yet commuters move smoothly along concourses and platforms.

If you think the seats on airliners keep getting smaller wait until you hear about the new bathrooms.

A high school valedictorian quoted Trump. The crowd roared. Then: “Just kidding,” he said. “That was Barack Obama.”

Decades after he redefined the game, the 24-time All-Star continues to be revered by fans and historians alike

Barry Marshall, a Nobel Prize-winning gastroenterologist and researcher, thinks he’s found a better way to diagnose irritable-bowel syndrome: by listening to it.

All musicians have a different approach to becoming their very best, but whatever your practice, it will inevitably include some version of running scales. There is a great deal of tedium in being good enough to keep up when inspiration strikes. Unfortunately, this has translated to many a miserable afternoon for pressured kids at the keyboard. But we’re adults now. Let’s practice smart, not hard.

Star Trek has a lot to answer for. Not content to tease us with unreasonable expectations of phasers and warp drive, it also thrust into the popular imagination the idea of teleportation, in which we step into a giant scanner of some sort and instantaneously find ourselves somewhere else, mind, body and soul intact (and hopefully, unlike Jeff Goldblum, untainted).

The #MPRraccoon somehow found itself trapped on a building ledge — and apparently decided the only way to go was up.

Found -- one lost continent, hiding underneath a tropical holiday destination. It might sound implausible, but deep at the bottom of the Indian Ocean, a research team, led by South Africa's University of the Witwatersrand, has found pieces of an ancient continent. The lava-covered piece of continent, dubbed 'Mauritia,' was found under the popular island of Mauritius. According to the report published this week in the journal Nature Communications, the piece of crust is left over from the breakup of Gondwanaland...

The Game Boy Camera isn't exactly the first thing that comes to mind when you think "high end." The unusual peripheral, released in 1998, could be inserted into the Nintendo handheld's cartridge slot to give you a lo-fi digital camera capable of capturing a 128x112 black and white image. Now, a full 20 years later, someone's managed to make the thing work with a massive Canon zoom lens.

You’ve been dating him now for a while — so why don’t you bite the bullet and let him meet the parents? If you can’t stand the thought of sitting through one more Thanksgiving in which your family still teases you about your “Invisible Man,” maybe your turkey isn’t on you plate, but in your …

It’s Ramadan and my mother is in the kitchen slaving over a hot stove preparing a big feast. She’s fasting even though she is a 64-year-old diabetic. As for myself? Earlier in the day, I had a huge fish and chips platter for lunch, but my Muslim family believes I’m fasting with them. This has gone on for years.
