I hate any environment where my hours are strictly monitored and controlled. Badging in and out is ridiculous to me.

That sounds terrible to me. Some of my favorite working experiences are wrestling with a gnarling technical problem deep into the night.

Oh I agree that equity crowdfunding is generally a bad idea for all involved.

Most XML parsers I've used are leaky abstractions. Even once the document is parsed, actually accessing the data can require a lot more complexity than accessing parsed JSON data.

I've had most of those accounts since I had virtually no credit (and a low/nonexistent credit score). That being said, if you have a negative Chexsystems report they'll be hard to get. I'm not trying to say the unbanked

ChexSystems is different than a credit report. They can clear you even if you don't have any credit or have bad credit.

That's under the assumption that people don't want to save any money.

I've been a wallflower too and definitely don't think it automatically puts you into the more dangerous direction. Rather, I think it sets up the potential to be susceptible to them. TRP, for example, does a great job of channel

I didn't read that at all. In fact, understanding that it's all about supply and demand is a critical step for tackling this issue and allowing new supply. I see far more resistance to new housing from people who don't unde

A little knowledge is dangerous. You found the right terms but totally missed the meaning. Daily accrual means that your interest for that day is calculated daily. It doesn't mean the interest rate is 2.4% a day. Did you even think a

by morgante 9y ago
Uh, I think you don't understand how compounding works. It's not 2.4% a day. Do you know anything about finance?

> I just looked up margin interest rates, for loans of 10 000 or less (which is what we are likely talking about with robin hood) the interest rate is Base Rate + 1.25% which is 8.50% interest. Is that from Robin Hood? If so it's a

by morgante 9y ago
Do you actually understand how margin loans work? If your trade starts going bad they'll be aggressively unwound. They're a very well-understood model offered by tons of (profitable) brokerages out there. Robinhood is not doing

I think for certain roles it absolutely is a requirement. If a web or backend software developer insisted that they refused to use Stack Overflow I don't think they'd make a good employee. It sounds like they're letting ideol

He assumed that Stack Overflow users don't have the experience to read books or debug themselves, which from the other replies is obviously incorrect and naive.

by morgante 10y ago
Wow, you sound salty and defensive. Using StackOverflow is often the fastest way to find results. Your implication that it means we don't know how to debug issues ourselves or use pre-existing docs is insulting and farcical. I'm p
