Apologies if I'm missing something, is this discussing the new Bank Term Funding Program or some other guarantee? (edit: I see the phrasing "fully protected by the FDIC" -- this might be the general idea that depositors…
And to go with that you can use $500 ethernet cables, with directional arrows painted on. ACK, and that's not talking about TCP (sorry). https://www.wired.com/2008/06/snake-oil-alert/ (unfortunately this was from Denon…
Recognizing these are some unique circumstances, over the last week, expectations for next week's FOMC meeting swung from a near-certain +25bp, to 75% +50bp / 25% +25bp, to 60% +25bp / 40% 0bp. Tomorrow, February's CPI…
Tether claims they have completely exited their position in commercial paper and are currently over 70% in US T-Bills. https://tether.to/en/transparency/#reports Disclaimer that I'm a bit of a Tether skeptic, but if I'm…
I enjoyed this meme on Twitter (saw a link to it, not familiar with any associated authors/commenters/threads): https://twitter.com/dgntec/status/1634621865485271041 Accessible description / save-you-a-click: Left…
I was trying to look up a Tesla special case (where upgrading the infotainment unit removes the radio unless an additional $500 upgrade is purchased) and learned that several EV manufacturers have already removed AM…
My understanding, anyone is welcome to correct: the 51% attack doesn't apply, but that's because there is a central party with full control from the start. CBDCs are digital currencies but do not have to be…

mine was set to 500 (not 5000) as well. I'd moved on from lastpass earlier this year but didn't delete my account... though I suppose in that case I'd wonder if I'd deleted in time, or if they really deleted all my…
if we're looking "at any point," lots of neutral coverage back in the 90s when cable news was boring, and there was Reform Party Candidate-era Trump. Trump proposes massive one-time tax on the rich…
the coverage of him winning in 2016 was fairly neutral live: https://www.cnn.com/2016/11/09/politics/moment-cnn-projects-... article: https://www.cnn.com/2016/11/08/politics/election-day-2016-hi...
a bit out of date, missing at least one global financial crisis, but there's a 2004 paper looking at the returns of holding the original S&P500 companies from its start 65 years ago, with some alternative portfolios…
not an argument but just an FYI for people reading about that idea for the first time: some NAS enclosures (QNAP, Synology?) and some power supplies can use the drives directly without disabling that 3.3V pin.
Agree with it being a combination of many factors on both supply and demand side, but I feel we can't exclude the unprecedented and massive amounts of financial intervention. I'm not a wonk here but have heard the…
I might be wrong but don't gifts count against the recipient's annual $10k limit? That is, you could only give $2k to someone who has purchased $8k for themselves, all within the same year? Though, here is a Bogleheads…
I remember flying into San Jose airport for the first time and the posters weren't advertising restaurants, hotels, and tourist destinations but enterprise routers and firewalls.
I think this is true in the US as well. And possibly liquor in some states (meaning a subset of the states that offer it in the first place).
Some bottled water brand had a tagline "no other water hydrates better" in case anyone does want to use nitrogen in their tires, I think at least US Costcos with tire centers have free self-service nitrogen inflators…
I agree they shouldn't have put the 53% marginal claim right next to the social security point, as the max-marginal people will be well past the cap, but the 53% max marginal rate might still be true? 37% federal +…
best wishes and hope you're doing ok... but on the bright side, it's not even close to too late. Assuming you went to university and started your career at 22, you're only halfway in work-years to 58, and you have a…
May be worth being aware of this sort of thing in advance, specifically in case a speedy exit happens, triggered by either party, when you don't have spare time to learn what COBRA is. example: "Can I cash in my unused…
I believe you're up to speed and when talking about the US Federal Reserve, it's colloquially "The Fed" and not "The FED" But the fully-capitalized version does show up a lot.
JetBrains is increasing pricing in October (for example $150 to $173 for All Products pack with that discount) but they announced this over three months in advance, on their blog and on Twitter, and are allowing…
Wow, I know severance isn't generally a legal requirement but effectively one day per year at the company...
In Chrome those mouse actions work as well, or right-clicking a tab and selecting "Duplicate." I'm not sure if there's a keyboard command for it.
