If you're starting play at age 30, sure, there's not likely to be very many players who make the 2200 threshold. That would be interesting to crawl through the USCF database to check, though without birth years there'd be a g

I’m not sure that it’s charitable to characterize either fund as being “built around gathering insider information and profiting”. Raj Rajaratnam started at Needham & Co. in 1985, and worked his way up to firm president in 1991. He even

Keep in mind the scores of business icons who have been caught insider trading seemingly insignificant amounts of money. Martha Stewart “avoided a loss of $45,673 by selling all 3,928 shares of her ImClone Systems stock on December 27, 2001

You'd think this would be an unnecessary step, since we provided a link to the USPTO filing, and we provided our incorporation documents when becoming a vendor. The issue with the Amazon case management system is if you encounter a cus

From my own experiences, and the various answers available on Amazon forums, Brand Gating is a black box. There is no one you can talk to in order to request it, and for now it seems to be an invite-only program. Somewhat perversely, someon

The parent comment’s question posed it as why CHINA cares so much about Taiwan. So the point still stands. I also challenge you on whether there’s de-facto recognition of Taiwan. Diplomatic contacts are limited, and there’s no formal US emb

Taiwan is a unique case. Technically, the Chinese Civil War never ended. There was no signing of a peace treaty, and all the way through the 90s you had military standoff’s between Taiwan and the Mainland, i.e. the two militaries shot at ea

Aside from MacOS/iOS native software, IMHO Apple software for Windows has become unusable. I tried using iCloud for Windows, but the sync behavior is unreliable, and I found myself without critical files on more than one occasion. This
