Blogs died because: - It takes a lot of time to write well especially every day. - Most couldn’t make a living on it because Google’s whole model is to underpay for content and Google has a monopoly on ads.

The problems with the Chrome store are likely not over. What good is it if you have to stir up half the internet to get through their process? It's not as if developers can go to other platforms since Chrome has 70% of the market. Most

Google has 70% market share. If Chrome is broken- innovation nd the internet is broken. If we really want to fix this. 1. Use Survey Monkey to collect info from other developers having issues (which is like all of them). 2. Isolate instan

I think folks are drastically missing the forest for the trees here. This is just one minor example of the INSANE process that is now the Chrome Approval Process. I've seen extensions go for many months getting random rejections with

Totally had the same experience. Ordered Starbucks and they forgot the coffee. Was 3rd order in a row that was messed up. It's a cluster of mismanagement over there.

Bid and ask spreads can be quite wide- up to a few % of the total trade size. So even tho you may be mid way within the range or even close to the bid or ask because certain exchanges never see your order - it gets filled at the bottom of t

Several former SEC heads disagree The practice can pretty quickly add up to millions on a sizable account Just because they don’t make most of their profits this way doesn’t mean people are not getting ripped off by the brokers that do this

Right they make all their money on margin. Most people are not trading a lot- but if you do- you will get fleeced- especially with any kind of a complex order.

Not true. Step 1- open accounts at Schwab and then IB. Put in say a complex butterfly order at the exact same time at both brokers and see the difference in price you get. It adds up to millions pretty quick.

I've read it- It's very true profits at Schwab in aggregate are from margin loans often sitting in accounts with no activity but that doesn't have anything to do with what happens to people that trade. It's a totally di

There is no such thing as a free lunch. Marketing trades either by Schwab or others is extremely misleading since Schwab is one of the brokers that sells your order flow. What's better- paying $5 bucks to trade or losing a % of your t

Surprised to see so much sentiment against this ruling. Digital software sale and distribution is just supposed to make software management easier and faster. A license is the same regardless of wether it's physical or digital. Why sh

So if we don't support the insider self dealing of management and complete lack of discipline or board governance then legitimate cos will all shut down? Seems like a strange and skewed view.

You can only have one user with Alzo which makes it tough if you have accountants/ tax people or other people in co that need access. They def need to solve this- they've said it was on the way but I've heard nothing.

It keeps artificial support under the euro. If it were to reverse any time soon you could see a big shift in the dollar vs the Europe. There are some early signs this might occur with changes in LIBOR recently.

Plato defined consciousness using a test of whether something could understand the cause and effect of its actions. By that rule, a lot of animals would qualify as sentient- Rats/cats/dogs and virtually all critters.
