One can do a backdoor Roth conversion to get around that limit. (but you need to have no money in regular pretax IRAs to do so)

That line is actually electrified in all 3 videos, just not with conventional overhead caternary. Southeast England is one of the few places in the world that uses 3rd rail power outside of mass transit metros. You can clearly see the rail

I don't think he necessarily argued it is specific to TI, rather just used as an example. As someone who started first coding on a TI-83+, I have to agree. The ease of tinkering is not matched by lot of modern tech products.

Its worth noting that from my quick glance, she was the only Bay Area congressperson to vote No. Incredibly disappointed

is there a link of the individual votes? govtrack.us doesn't look to be that up to date

...in North America, which is just more fact-twisting by the author. Lets not forget that 228 people perished when the flight crew of Air France 447 flew the plane straight into the ocean.

Looks like Pincus is staying around though, which seems odd. If the board is unhappy with his performance (and rightfully so), wouldn't starting fresh be a better move?

I'm still confused on the details of this. Surely you'll be required to come back on the way back and swap back into your original battery? (for warranty reasons). Seems like a complex & expensive logistical nightmare (vs the

The rent comparison isn't exactly fair - you are looking at the rent in the city of SF vs the entire Greater Washington area. There are certainly cheaper places than SF to live in the Bay Area. Also, almost all apartments in SF proper

Another interesting bit at the end is the improved supercharging tech: "The new technology, which is in beta test mode now and will be fully rolled out to customers this summer, will allow Model S to be charged at 120 kW, replenishing three

For the Bay Area these days, those numbers seem about right. Big companies pay 100k to new grads

Most funds available in your 401k could also be bought in a taxable account with the same fees, but it almost never makes sense to do so because there are so much superior alternatives (ie pretty much anything from Vanguard).

by jcdavis 13y ago
ETFs charge fees too - Vanguard's Admiral Total Stock Market Fund charges a 0.05% fee, which is going to be smaller or comparable than almost any ETF (their comparable ETF also has a 0.05% fee), and certainly far lower than the index funds

The problem is with 401(k)s is that most plans don't have that many options, and its common for all of them to be expensive (compared to what you can get elsewhere). And not putting your money in 401(k)s is even worse due to the extra taxes

Apple still only uses Moscone West (at least as of last year). They could also use Moscone North & South as the big conferences do (Oracle OpenWorld/Dreamforce/etc)
