That was just an extreme example. If I were a freelancer and having a great month / 3 months / year I would quick sign up for Even and extend the ride a little longer.

Just because something is illegal doesn't make it any less costly to enforce. I agree that Even probably has some recourse, I'm just not sure what it is. Part of me thinks that this is Even's first pivot. See if there is a m

How can you afford a high touch sign up process for a customer who is worth ~$144 a year?

This interest free loan makes it VERY susceptible to fraud or abuse. Lets consider for example, a technology contractor, making $120,000 a year from various contracting jobs. The contractor could sign up for Even, and then retire, collectin

Also to alleviate the possibility of the stock market at large expanding and wiping out any gains form the QQQQ not doing as well you can sell puts on a broader index(like s&p) and then sell calls for the what you think will do poorly.

I agree with your opinion of inverse ETFS in general. As to the fact that there is no guarantee that puts or shorting will pay off this is stating the obvious. Its called speculation for a reason. No pain no gain.

That's interesting they must have changed the fee structure from the last time I looked. That being said a contract usually refers to 100 options on the underlying. So a contract for the put options you talked about would be $200 +.75

The short answer( which is almost always the short answer to generic investment strategy advice) is it depends. I wouldn't select an actively managed fund like inverse ETFs based on their strategy. You aren't just investing in the

Sam Altman's quote is more zen. I took it to mean reach for the stars because the only thing that sucks more than failing is wondering if you would have succeeded. Scott Adam's is slightly more pragmatic. I took his quote as meani

I think your argument fails with the assumption that not starting a business gives leaves you with nothing. Starting and failing 80% of the time does not net you with 0. The opportunity cost of the time you spent on failed ventures is much

The key is to be polite but assertive. If you yell from behind your door "Hell no PIG! You're never coming inside and it is my RIGHT to say no!!" then it may arouse suspicion. If instead you say " I'm sorry, I wasn&

I 100% agree that the recruiter would have an adverse reaction to a city name that they have a difficult time pronouncing. I disagree that a recruiter is going to look at a city named "Rehab" and think "hmm... might be a drug

Do you honestly think the name of this person's city is the reason why recruiters aren't biting?

Just curious... would your market making strategy be susceptible to the spoofing strategy that allegedly caused the 2010 flash crash.

Using algorithms to limit the amount of work facebook employee's have to do to make sure users are following the rules makes perfect sense. It doesn't explain why you would cut humans out of the process entirely. To your point abo

This seems like an excellent pawn to negotiate with. This person identified something which they value greatly( a new title) which presumably doesn't cost you anything. Figure out what this is worth to this person, whether its a lower

Thanks for the reply! I do not have a degree in a related field. Would the certificate compensate for that?

The title says "someone" but the article is talking about families that make $75,000. There is a big difference between a 23-25 year old making $75k and 2 30-35 year olds making 75k combined.

Sounds like a pretty good SaaS idea using twillio. For $9.99 a month you connect 5 people to a conference call every morning to discuss milestones for their side project.

I think the recruiters second two comments were the most valid. Being late and having a run in your stockings seems to show a lack of caring and professionalism. The comment about "looking like she was ready to go out" was, in my

The graph demonstrating the different levels in education was interesting. At first I thought there most be some mistake, because one field was high school education or less and the other was college education or more, but the two lines did
