I WFH once a week and as-needed. Starting Monday we are all WFH for 2-3 weeks. For productivity, I absolutely require either a docking station or some sort of KVM switch setup so I can use a regular keyboard, mouse, and monitor. That, or

I can see it. If you are healthy and you know that for most people the virus is mild and the mortality rate is roughly on par with the flu (they previously had it higher but the latest numbers look to be more like the flu at 0.1%, mostly a

I think the solution I use personally would also serve your purpose. I use KeeWeb (app.keeweb.info). It's a web app that caches in your browser and only runs locally. It also has a desktop version for Windows as well. I keep the we

That's somewhat correct. But it wasn't that they didn't allow those people to sell. In the film they were dealing with specialty derivative products that weren't traded by your average person. The derivative products

This isn't quite true. I get what you're saying, but from a technical perspective, it's not accurate. The markets also go up based on the total money supply in the system. If the government takes on a lot of debt, eventual

Time-based options have a fixed cost which you pay up front. So again, there is no risk of insolvency because you've already paid up front and capped your losses.

They're only good because they were repeatedly given an infinite amount of money for 2 decades by investors while their retail operations lost money so that they could nail the implementation and the promise that they would figure out

Whatever happened to the RFID concept where they (not Amazon, but others) previously envisioned attaching small, cheap RFID badges to all items and then you would just do one big, quick scan at the end and it would read all the RFID tags in

OP said nothing about timing the market. As you mentioned, that's the entire opposite of DCA. I take your interpretation to be a bit disingenuous and lacking in good faith. OPs point is clearly that the panic selling is not rational

At the risk of sounding less than helpful or pessimistic, the first thing that jumped out at me when reading your post is that you are going about this backwards. I'm not saying you can't or wont' succeed. I have no idea. Bu

Fair enough, but the screenshot that one client posted definitely shows their links generating dates for 3/3 on 3/2. That's highly suspicious in of itself. Also, the fact that their website previously said they had identifi

I might believe the response from RH if 1) this didn't happen exactly 4 years ago 2) admission of this being the issue didn't expose them to a negligence lawsuit which could easily bankrupt the company 3) the original tweet di

I notice that the status.robinhood.com page has changed as well. Yesterday there was a note about the source of the issue being identified. That is now gone.

"In his letter to Carney, dated Feb. 28, Hohn warned that British banks were “highly likely” to suffer losses on coal financing as the cost of renewables continued to fall and regulations on air pollution and carbon emissions tighten.

My limited understanding is that if you have a license to be a broker in this nature, you have to meet certain requirements. Similar to getting a bank charter - banks have to be open all standard business days during certain hours. Things

I imagine it's because these are almost always public companies that need to show earnings growth. They are always trying to improve margins and their stock price. That's much easier than actually figuring out a great marketing

Not sure what the specifics of the accident were, but car seats are rarely damaged unless the accident is major, which may very easily total the car. If the car wasn't totaled, which certainly sounds like the case, then it seems unusu

I get what they're saying. Walmart is literally known by every single person in the country (and outside the country as well). It's much less effective to bitch about getting ripped off by the local DDS and have people see about

I struggle with this all the time. The only thing that I have found to mitigate it is contemplating the public embarrassment of the resulting failure or lack of completion. This mental anxiety usually gets me moving. Not the best solutio

I don't believe that's accurate. I've heard first hand from lawyers that the bill of rights guarantees protections from government action, not other citizens or entities like corporations. That's why, for example, we h

Haha yep. It's lovely when the filer of the lawsuit raises a great point on how to throw out their case and further citizen protection, isn't it?

A lot of the comments on this topic seem to be focusing on SO's nature or something like what you proposed about .NET itself. When I first read the Twitter thread I was sort of dumbfounded that whoever did this originally didn't a

See my other comment(s) in this thread. I have acknowledged that was not in fact true after checking further once called out on it.

I agree that "it should work perpetually so long as a nation doesn't see massive population decline and employment remains reasonably consistent" . But the same thing is true for a ponzi scheme, right? The idea is a never-e

Thank you for this. It appears I was lied to. The person that told me this is not someone who usually neglects to do their research and verify things, so by extension I did not. I have edited my response above accordingly. Much apprecia

It's a tax, so they can take part of the money and do other things with it. And they have from time to time. They are not remitting the full tax receipts to the Social Security Administration for disbursement. Which instead of havin

As others have mentioned, this is referred to as Social Security. I'm not sure how it works in Canada once it's is forcibly deducted, but in the US, it's just a tax like any other tax. The idea is that the government will h

The one thing that made them "make sense" to most people was that the average person is/was terrible at personal finance and retirement planning. The company running the pension was a way for the average person to be "g
