Few things to note: - Robinhood Gold is not just about margin trading. It is also about instant money transfers. What truly prevents me otherwise from frequent investing is this long delay (upto 2 days) where I sell something and wait for m

You are more than welcome to come to India and live in mostly Muslim regions such as Kashmir or West Bengal! :) Living in muslim majority or heck even places where there are 20% muslims is absolutely hell. You will have to hear ajaan on a l

True. Just because Oregon board has a narrow view of what the word 'engineer' means I do not think this gentleman should be harassed this way. I find this immoral. Another instance I can recount is here where a woman was banned fr

iPhones are damn cheap! If iPhones were made in Detroit with minimum wage laws and OSHA and EPA and FTC and other zillion federal overlords it would have cost $5000 and all the iOs developers on HN would not have existed.

Paper tiger of Mr. Trump. The executive order does nothing but kind of recycles old claims without much change to anything.

I am libertarian and I think US immigration system is a glowing failure of central planning. It is something that people on left, right, center and under the ground can very easily agree on.

Ah! the fear mongering. There is science and then there is stamp collecting. This report is more like later. These reports must be taken with grain of salt. Not only the study is dubious but it essentially talks of all coral reefs across th

I hope Apple gets that tax holiday. It is Apple's money that they want to keep themselves. Ideally government should have pro actively worked to give them a tax break.

I think it is mostly because of traffic, lack of free parking space and bad roads. I like to drive myself and also have eating habits that require me to visit specific places only.

While I am all for reducing the size of the government this is bad move. This has less to do with science and more to do with overzealous Jeff Sessions. Good science often helps find the right guy and stop preventing wrongful convictions. O
