    Yep, a great lesson, and a relatively low price to pay for teaching my kids the honorable act of civil disobedience.

    I believe there is a kernel of truth here, but having used both the mainstream products and their "underdog" alternatives, this is completely counter to my experience. Nokia is a b…

    Well that's what I don't get, how is spending the money bad faith? Aren't they getting the money ahead of time so they can spend it before the world ends? If they have to keep the …

    I still don't get how this is supposed to work. So let's say I give you a million dollars right now, with the expectation that I get $10M back in 10 years when the world hasn't end…

    This is awesome, I got way more sucked into this than I expected. If you're open to adding more features, a "custom playlist" would be really cool. I'd love to drill myself on the …

    Interesting, thank you for the link. This answers a few questions I had about preferred country names while trying out the game, such as Czech Republic/Czechia, Swaziland/Eswatini,…

    They have an option to do an ACATS to another brokerage account. They do not mention specifically, but it looks like this would be considered a stock transfer "in kind" which shoul…

    Sounds like 7% of revenue rather than profit. But I agree it seems weird to cap it at 7.

    Calling it a jobs program is overly generous. It's broken windows fallacy. Considering the ineffectiveness of the TSA as shown by multiple audits, opportunity cost of waiting in se…

    I really hope this site doesn't become the next reddit. I don't think a massive influx of new users would be healthy for good faith discussion here.

    Okay this part has me convinced this post is satire. The hackernewsiness is simply off the charts. As the kids would say, ain't no way.

    Great writeup. It seems like a strange variant of the broken windows fallacy to imply that workers need to be shuttling to and from work and spending money on brick and mortar rest…
