I'm with Ally bank and right now they're telling people that it's their clearing firm (Apex Clearing Corp) that's blocking buys of GME and some other stocks. Could it be that other trading platforms use the same clearing

I think it makes sense for them to be decoupled on some level, but maybe not totally. The danger on one side is falling into a sort of hedonic treadmill issue where the poverty level defines a standard of living that is so generous that it

When half the country is so resentful of the other half that it starts to act out, is escalating that situation the best option? Or perhaps you let them vent for a bit (mostly harmlessly, but not entirely) and then try to engage with them a

Best definition I've heard: "Social justice" is an awkward term for an immensely important project, perhaps the most important project, which is to make the world a more equitable, fair, and compassionate place. But the pr

WGU CS grad here (with 10+ years of experience before I entered the program). If you're in the midwest (and from what I hear, east coast) it's definitely necessary to get through a lot of HR screens.

FWIW, I did this program and assembly / digital design (assuming you mean computer architecture) was pretty well covered in the OS class. They use the Patterson + Hennessey book that many other large universities seem to use. That clas

Let's say I have loads of cash to spend. How do I spend it to get control of facebook? Presumably there are limits to that control -- what are they? Is "buying ads on facebook" the same as "controlling facebook"?

People will leave certain platforms if they become unpalatable. Look at the amount of outrage generated by the very small level of tampering that facebook and twitter do currently. There is a tremendous amount of scrutiny on these platforms
