Planet money had a story where a similar superficially good idea ended up with Etrade selling a man's Amazon stock and deactivating his account after he didn't log in for a certain period of time. He was able to reclaim about $800

"If you put Amazon in the headline, they will come." Interesting call that the story isn't compelling enough if it "just" involves Whole Foods.

Thanks for the response! FWIW, I find nothing lacking in the application, but I'm working on an ipad and it seems a native app would be less constrained by the browser quality.

It sounds cliche, but I've found the yEd graph editor crucial in reading a Dostoevsky novel and keeping up with all the characters and their relations. Is yworks pretty much the only game in town when it comes to graph editing?

I'm not sure about how much causation is being captured here, but I don't doubt the effect directionally. Here's a paper that came to similar conclusions, which I think captures causality better https://www.nber.or
