And why is this deal (and most car deals) giving big discounts to existing customers, while most other deals, for example cell phone plans and cable TV offers, only giving discounts to NEW customers? Somehow, I always get left off.

Where they are able to internalize a trade yes, but the spreads on most US stocks are razor thin - so very little..

As others have mentioned, Inoreader actually is in the class of Feedly. For my purposes (which amount to replacing Google Reader), it's the same thing but cheaper. 

Great article, that breaks it down perfectly. It’s crazy that Schwab can be profitable just on their net interest income alone. Commission free trades means more customers and that should mean more net interest income.

These places have a lot of ways of making money, but a surprisingly large portion of their profit is pretty boring: when you hold cash in your brokerage account, they don’t pay you much interest, but they put your cash somewhere that pays them interest, and they pocket the difference.

Less to sound smart, more just something to keep in mind:

+1 on Inoreader. I use the browser “app” and the Android mobile app. Both work very well and I’ve nitpicked at them all.  Two things I need in both environments:  Dark mode and unread count badges.  Inoreader is the only one that does both very well.

I’ve been using Inoreader since Pulse was bought by LinkedIn [and, IMO, completely borked its experience]. I’m sure there are other fabulous services out there, but Inoreader serves me just fine with its high-contrast dark mode, multiple layout viewing options, multiple sort-by, reading stats and…

Inoreader. Tried Feedly and others, but the UI and customizations work best for me.

Why did you click on the article if you’re looking for lifehacks and the title clearly isn’t focused on that?

Using almost none of these will make you sound or seem smarter. They will make you sound or seem like a person who’s not even smart enough to realize how obviously they look like they’re trying to sound appear smart.

Going forward, in general for all services:

The only diet I’ve seen that makes any sense to me (modify for personal medical or ethical considerations)

Organ meat has a lot of the vital nutrients that the diet tends to lack. However, in general a fiber suppliment and a multivitamin is pretty much a requirement and yes its a stupid diet.

The Bioavailable Protein scale that people use to judge protein quality uses Eggs as its Benchmark of 100. Some processed foods like Whey are above 100 but Eggs are the gold standard of protein. Telling people to not eat eggs is so fucking dumb from both a nutritional and economic perspective as eggs are some of the…

Exactly, coffee and tea aren’t necessary for out diets, but we like them. Colorful socks add nothing to a human, but we like them. If we lived on just what we absolutely needed, the world would be a pretty dull place.

My view on these extreme diets are simple. The more extreme the diet is nutritonally the more extreme your attention must be to get your vitamins and micronutrients. Carnivore has a SERIOUS lack of fiber in it. If you’re not careful you’ll get digestive issues obviously. Vegans dont have this problem but have others,…

“Nutrition’ is now a degenerating research paradigm in which scientifically illiterate methods, meaningless data, and consensus-driven censorship dominate the empirical landscape.”

Saw some nutritionists on twitter who were real angry about this. Wonder if it’s a case where they’ve repeated the same advice so often that they find it difficult to acknowledge that they might have been wrong all this time? Or perhaps the meta-study really is flawed.

Detroit’s only good if you’re stuck in the good terminal. That is a nice, airy terminal with a lot of restaurants, light, an easy to use tram, and a hotel that allows you to get a day room (or have day meetings for colleagues spread across the country). The other terminal sucks, has limited options, and is a fairly…
