This is the proper approach when deciding whether to use any type of tool or technology. Is the increased amount of cognitive overhead for someone with minimal exposure to your system (who will have to maintain it when you’ve moved on) wort

I’m building a tool to automatically move deposits into new bank accounts with better rates and fees. It will operate continuously, so I never have to search for the “best” bank account — I’ll always have it. Think wealthfront for checking

Are you able to share a bit more about this? Specifically: 1. How did you find your first customers? 2. How did you determine a price? 3. What are the payment plans based on? Usage? Flat rate? Something else? 4. How much are you currently e

With capital punishment, we remove the possibility of fixing our mistake if someone is innocent. But if we lock someone up for 30 years, they have the opportunity for justice to be served, and we have mechanics to _try_ to make it right.

Perhaps I misunderstood it, but I read that as you not finding the value of avoiding accidental executions as worth the cost to avoid them. And if so, then I think that’s a perfectly valid position. But it’s subjective, since others may fin

I used to be, for most of the same reasons as you. What ultimately convinced me was realizing that our judicial system can never be 100% perfect, so we would always have a non-zero number of innocent people executed as long as capital punis

Off-topic, but did anyone attend Johns Hopkins CTY camp as a kid? I did it for 9 straight summers, and while the name is a bit pretentious, it was one of the best experiences I had. I am curious if anyone is an alum, since the overlap of CT

Give that money to someone close to you who can hold you accountable — hell, I’ll do it if you need — but you’re going to be earning every dollar of that over the next year by counting calories. Here’s how: It’s approximately 5000 calories

I've been trying to understand the rationale of the court in simpler terms. Is this an adequate understanding of the reasoning: 1. Congress delegates some of its authority to issue/handle student loans to the executive branch via

If people take their money elsewhere, the banks can borrow from the fed, just at a higher rate. So in theory, they should be willing to increase their rate up to whatever the fed-rate is, minus some margin for the risk of dealing with lower

This is a step in the right direction, and personally I think that low-level deposit accounts are ripe for serious competition. There are thousands of banks and credit unions (~9,000 if memory serves) all offering the same risk-free product
