It may not be typical but the vanguard Total market index fund is up 19% year to date. Robinhood is still paying 4.5% interest just for you to leave cash holding in their pockets. If they can afford that kind of interest rate to just park c

I tossed $29.50 at this just for fun. I think this is a brilliant strategy to make money for Robin Hood but let's face it it's pure gambling on the outcome of the election. There is no market or futures in this that are anything t

In a secret ballot, who's getting the minus one? The real question is how many other processes failed for them to get to the point that they were allowed to cast the vote. Why are those processes so weak? Because I support the idea of

That seems like a statement of someone who's never done any of this kind of work at any kind of reasonable complexity level that would necessitate having good tools. That would be like you asking a contractor to come to your house but

I hope Valve responds by just ignoring them. Game companies wanting to put in kernel mode shims for their game. That's just ridiculous and a blatant piece of spyware on your system that is untracked and unknown. Because as we all know

Looking at this stuff I'm not sure how it's YouTube's responsibility to protect people from their own stupidity. I intentionally chose that word instead of ignorance because sometimes it's useful to educate the ignorant

This is all very confusing to me. The reasoning is it is unhealthy competition for their local businesses with this discount Chinese stuff. Okay that makes sense at some level of government is tasked with ensuring the stability of their eco

There's some classic doublespeak in this. The defense of giving people rides to polling places or employers giving time off for people to vote is not considered an inducement for "reasons" they don't elaborate on. If it

This kind of thing should have never been implemented. Stuff like this does not belong and what is supposed to be a free society. Here's one of the fundamental problems with it, you have no recourse with the airlines when they are doin

I would say it kind of depends. It certainly written in bad form as you should almost never do direct variable insertion into your SQL query string. You should should be doing the variable substitution and a prepare execute type method. Eit

It's a very short video to present the information which I like because when things like this get overly wordy it's just filler words. I do have a couple of problems with it first there's some language in it that is designed

A woman found a dating app trying to hold people accountable to provide a reasons why they don't want to talk to someone. Okay I get it but something about this just hurts my head. What makes you think that whatever reason is chosen wi

Okay so it's a recirculation system with some filters attached to it interesting but not that novel. The one problem I can see right away especially with a shower and a non fully immersed constantly recirculating pump is the buildup of

Every lease that I've ever seen, especially in Florida requires renters to maintain renters insurance. I feel bad for people losing their stuff but this is one of the things that we have insurance for and renters insurance is an exceed

This article focuses solely on a mother's in total isolation. It makes total sense to me that a single mother would rather be holding a cat and not a baby in most circumstances. Because maybe these aren't single mothers or maybe t
