One of my favorite examples: my Dad worked at a F100 company, and they moved a large group of employees to a new office building. That office building was taxed in a special "opportunity zone" that gave the employer tax credits wh

My understanding is that bitcoin addresses are quantum safe as long as you do not reuse an address after spending funds sent to it [0]. Per the linked article, this is standard practice, so I would assume the majority of addresses are actua

I mix eggs in a mug, and lightly rinse it out before shoving it straight in the dishwasher. The pan takes 20 seconds to clean in the sink.

My ISP uses dynamic dns, but it never changes unless my modem is down for several minutes. My router has a script that updates a dns entry if it changes, but realistically this rarely happens.

I've tried a number of tools that promise to "automatically" pull all of my transactions and assets in and create a dashboard for me, but I always end up back with a group of spreadsheets. My current setup is: 1. Overview spr

What do you define as wealthy? If you read bogleheads / fire blogs, there are plenty of people I would define as wealthy that self manage their assets. A lot of them use spreadsheets, some use free / cheap software online.

Very neat, excited to take a look, and especially excited that it is self hostable / open source. I've tried a number of services like this, and always end up back on a spreadsheet because: 1. I hate giving my data to a third part

The "cold" aspect is one I really do not miss. During the summer (in Austin where it gets to 100F regularly), I had to wear a sweatshirt and long pants, and I was still cold.

A rule of thumb I've always used is that 100W for a month costs roughly $10.

I've been pretty happy with Schwab as well. Free wires and ATM fee refunds if you meet a minimum balance requirement, and their customer service has been solid.

At least so far there don't seem to be any false positives, but it does seem like something that could easily be botted.

> We pretend it’s about identity verification when really it’s about priority in getting through security faster. It's exactly this - a shorter line you can pay for under the guise of technology.

Latency is bad, throughput is pretty decent. Unfortunately this is a side effect of it's routing system (routing through 3 random nodes around the world).

But if it's the stock holders that are suing the company, and they are receiving compensation from the lawsuit based on the size of their holdings, it's a cash payment from the company to the holders, which is exactly what a divid

How does suing a company work? Is it functionally just like a forced dividend, or is it more complicated than that?

Had a similar thing with my ISP. Upgraded to a faster speed and they tried to slap a $100 "installation fee" on it. Just said "I don't pay installation fees", and it worked out better than I thought it would.
