Here are some sources. GDAX charges 0.3% fees for BTC/USD market orders and 0.25% fees for ETH/USD market orders [0]. They charge slightly less if you trade large volumes (millions of $) which most users will not hit. GDAX's

Sounds similar to what Europe did. Europe added a 47% anti-dumping and anti-subsidy tariff on Chinese solar panels years ago because Chinese manufacturers were selling them below cost. Many commentators have pointed out China aggressively s

Tip for people buying on Coinbase: you can avoid their fee entirely by using GDAX. Deposit the money into your USD wallet first (no cost), then transfer the money to GDAX (no cost), and place a limit order (no cost). You may need to babysit

Why do you assume Google waived their disclosure policies for Intel? I thought it was clear Google waived their disclosure policy for themselves. Google had an enormous self-interest to avoid disclosure. At the 90 day disclosure date, the

That's not a fair comparison. These keyboard switches are far too huge for thin laptops. The whole thickness of a macbook pro is 20% thinner than just one of these switches.

Thin laptops won't be getting this tech. These switches are still thicker than an entire macbook pro.

They mean they will only make 500 vehicles of this model. However, quite often they make a design change, call it a different model, and do another limited production run. McLaren did exactly this with their '675LT' model. The ini

Explanation yes. Convincing explanation no. It could have been caused by balloons. Balloons can't fly at 2000km/h, nor accelerate at 100g, so for the ballon hypothesis to work you'd have to assume there was also a major mal
