It appears from across the pond that the US heavily favours employers when it comes to workers rights. I could be wrong, but I believe in most states you can be fired even without a reasonable cause. This is extremely different from the UK,

You are correct, if people want to risk their money then that is their right (providing they have been supplied all the legal warnings designed to protect people from losing money in a game they don't understand). This service is the e

This service is purposefully targeting people who know next to nothing about the stock market, and making them feel like they have some sort of clever control of the outcome of their investments. I have criticised this idea elsewhere in the

If you knew that 50000 identical orders of significant value were about to fly, you could make a huge amount of money.

If you can come up with a systematic strategy in a one-liner, that gives you consistent, good risk-adjusted returns, let me know as I quite fancy being a billionaire. Saying that, "Buy Low, Sell High" isn't a bad strategy ;)

Mixed feelings on this. In some ways, I quite like it. Certainly adds some more automation to the process and makes it simple. Nice UI. On the other hand, I am sure you are well aware of just how many amateurs lose money because they think

Interesting to look at the North Sea (off Scotland for those not familiar). The magnitude of the light pollution from the oils rigs seems extremely high, comparable to large cities. Seems unlikely. Cool project regardless!

Democratic countries should live or die on the decisions they make. I think that is the ultimate freedom. On the whole, most developed countries have broad consensus on core issues. I don't believe gap between left and right is large e

Out of interest, why is populistic commonly used as a pejorative? It seems to be the best friend of democracy.

The EU is defining "hate speech" as illegal. This isn't an initiative led by the companies.

Except that isn't the case here. The EU has declared, arbitrarily defined "hate speech" illegal. This isn't just the big name volunteering their services.

I expect this is a well intentioned mission. But to what extent do you take this? Does not making sure other (less in the zeitgeist) groups are involved mean they are failing at this? Hasidic Jews, Inuits, Wheelchair users, Men named Regina

It is also quite a nice way to shape your purchases. Buy very few things, but get the best quality you can afford. For me, it aligns nicely with a minimalist approach to life. See the Boots theory of socioeconomic unfairness.
