I’m not as bothered by the super saiyan mix-up as with the misuse of “behind the camera” instead of “off-camera” in the article title.

Glad to hear that it’s working out for you. But does Wealthfront or any of the other robo advisors actually specify what their computer algorithm is supposed to do during a recession? Does it rebalance, redistribute the allocation, or some combination of the two during a downturn? And ultimate, what do they think will…

I think it’s a cultural thing. US has this puritanical root that seems to obsess over anything that can be construed as sexual, especially between the same sex. (Would as many people be affronted if it was between the kid and his mother?) If we would travel the world more we would see that many cultures are…

I’m curious about the robo-advisors. They’ve only existed during this current bull market and there’s no data on how they are expected to perform during a recession. For my own brokerage account, I’ve developed my own model and algorithm to trade, and I’ve been happy with my own robo advisor so far.

Not surprising. He’s not a catch-and-shoot player; he usually makes one or more moves after getting the ball, meaning when he does pull up to shoot, he has to get the ball up from his hip level to above his head. For someone that tall, that’s a pretty long distance to bring the ball and players with quick hands will…

Does anyone know how to update their credit report with one of the agencies? My dad’s report has the wrong address, and I tried to help him submit a information update request with the required proof documents. But the request got rejected because they said the “new” address doesn’t match their record. That makes no…

That first sentence struck me. We really need to advocate for teaching personal finance in high school because too many people enter the work force with such poor financial literacy that they’re at risk of unknowingly setting back their financial goals by years or even decades. I remember on my first day at my first…

Student debt is a good point. Just the rising cost of higher education is probably limiting the number of people who can afford to attend college, which is a big factor in potential earnings. It’s also worth noting that the older millennials graduated during a recession, with another recession less than a decade…

Actually, I think it’s very possible for the FBI (or any other large organizations) to have more than one agenda, even competing agendas. They do employ tens of thousands of individuals. Just saying.

There’s no real “good” choices here. Reopening is generally better than a shutdown, but the cost for the Dems is leverage in negotiating what they want. Like you said, I recall the Republicans using this tactic multiple times during the Obama admin. They “promise” to negotiate what the Dems want in good faith later if…

Again, I’m glad it’s not just corporations who are benefiting. But stock market gains largely benefit those who are already in the middle and upper classes. This still leaves a large number of people whose primary mean to benefit from this tax cut is through increased compensations. My concern is that the “trickling”…

I don’t have much faith or trust in CEO’s and their company-wide emails. I can trace the exact moment when I lost them to 2009, when the company I worked for instituted a mandatory 10% salary cut for ALL employees due to the recession. To demonstrate solidarity, the CEO sent out a company-wide email announcing that he…

I’m glad that at least a tiny bit of the money “saved” from the tax cut is trickling down, but it’s disingenuous to use a one-time payout to justify a tax policy that will likely lasts for a decade or more. If the companies would pledge to make these bonuses for as long as the lowered tax rate lasts, or better…

My internet connection isn’t fast, so the animated gifs are the thing that I have to block. Maybe if they only embed them after I open an article it wouldn’t be so bad. I also noticed that Firefox often uses close to 30-40% GPU when I just leave this site open on a tab; no idea what is causing it, but I’ve only seen…

As long as we get the peel off is there really a “wrong” way to peel a banana? As for the “it’s how monkeys do it” argument, there are a lot of things monkeys do that I wouldn’t. Even with regards to bananas, I’ve seen chimpanzees eat the whole thing, peel and all; I have neither the jaw strength or teeth to pull that…

As the article pointed out, more and more of these cryptocurrency trading and wallet sites are requiring ID verifications to withdraw. My own experiences with the verification process has been troubling. On Coinbase, it took two months for me to be verified, and that was only after raising two support tickets. But the…

I like them. Compared to the nuggets, they’re juicier and is better flavored from the buttermilk and loads more salt. I, too, prefer the nuggets’ coating, which reminds me slightly of tempura coating, but I don’t find the tenders’ coating off-putting. I also like that the nuggets are uniform in size, so I don’t get…

When I build, I usually install parts in increments. Fewer things to test each round and less daunting if something goes awry. The problem I usually have is the heatsink (which isn’t an issue with a liquid cooler here), which takes up a lot of space and the fins often end up slicing my hand when I try to reach around…

I’ve only built 8 or 9 machines, but I enjoy the process of reviewing and comparing components and trying to strike that balance between wants and needs. What often ends up happening is I will gravitate toward some high-end part, shudder at the outrageous price, and settle at the part 2 tiers below. I don’t know why,…
