Is that knowingly trading on margin, or just how it works behind the scenes? If the latter, why?

I use an Apple Magic Keyboard with my left hand and my macbook keyboard with my right. I prop the laptop up a bit so the external keyboard is half underneath the laptop. Simple, and keeps my fingers accustomed to the apple layout for when I

Yes, increasingly so. The froth of 2020 has led to a big increase in the use of SPACs, despite them previously being viewed as super sketchy. https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/spac.asp

It seems to me that services like Taboola are something like manipulation-laundering services, providing enough room between deception and a product sold to circumvent the FTC's truth in advertising rules. Could someone with more knowl

This was interesting, but didn't go deep enough - where do all these ads ultimately lead to $$ transactions? Do they only end up selling legit products that are advertised non-manipulatively, like the hearing aids?

I don't think there will be one, since they're doing a SPAC merger. They're not doing an IPO, but rather merging with an empty holding company that's already done one.

The author seems to be asking for some things that just don't make sense. My impression is that they claim that "true" CD means each deployment is of a single author's changes, and that batching defeats the spirit/p

Sorry, just to clarify - are you saying that self-hosting Beeper is a lot of work, or that self-hosting Matrix with bridges without Beeper is a lot of work?

Got it. Yeah, I find highly-targeted ads to be creepy as well, and started using ffx with adblock for all browsing. I use Chrome for logged-in web use (gmail, fb, etc). I don't get relevant ads anymore, but instead I get lowest-common-

I'm pretty certain I've saved more than $86 in my first year of using YNAB for what it's worth. Ymmv of course.

Tried both, found YNAB far better for budgeting.

She didn't have to go to the US for the MRI; implication was the clinic was in Canada. Private care isn't illegal or anything there. People from the US go abroad for care all the time.

I'm curious how this plays out for the least-well-paid listed, customer support. Sounds like it's $50/hr up to 20hr/wk, $25/hr thereafter. For 40hr/wk, that's $1500/wk or $6000/mo or $75k/yr

As another data point, I pay ~$350/mo for a low-deductible, high-quality HMO ACA plan as a single male in Maryland. (It would have been $550 in California). I'm incensed at the idea we leave families out in the cold like that - IM

This is not an unacceptable attitude towards any group of people. It's also the kind of rhetoric that has driven so many in law enforcement into Trumpism.

I'm definitely under the impression that exclusivity agreements exist in this industry today. But the fact that some delivery apps list restaurants that haven't signed up with them reduces the power of the exclusivity (since some
