I've been using Mint consistently since mid-2016, and it's worked just fine for me. The Flash requirement for investment charts is annoying, but you can get around that with the trends charts by account. Frankly, what's usef

If/when the 737 MAX comes back into service, I'm honestly going to actively avoid flying on it if at all possible. I doubt I'm alone in this.

x16 NVMe SSDs aren't very common. The most recent one I've seen is the Micron X100, but that's a x16 PCIe 3.0 device and it's not commercially available yet. Most consumer and enterprise SSDs are x4, though perhaps tha

While not related to high frequency trading, per se, the Google research on the gap between nanosecond and millisecond latencies (AKA "attack of the killer microseconds") springs to mind with this article. Typically the hardware
