Just check the SNAP stock value for the past 6 months[1] and you'll see that it had lost roughly 70% of its stock value.

With today's earning announcement, it has just recovered some of those lost market value. Still, with this positive news (i.e. about 60% increase in stock value, post earning announcement), they're around 50% down from its peak (which was just in the recent past, less than 6 months ago).

I know something about the work I've in front of me; still, I thought, it's good idea to seek others opinion on this important matter. Otherwise, it's really easy to fool oneself by taking our existing ideas too seriously without cross checking them with others.

Anyway, thanks for your comment.

For some reason, I had to close the website quickly after browsing for a little while. For a moment it felt like I'm looking and going through someone personal desktop (which has been left unlocked) without their consent while at the same time I was really well-aware that it's just a personal website for public. Weird feeling :)

Edit: On second thought, it looks like it did one thing really well is refreshing my own personal memory of Windows 9x (personally, I've good memory of Windows 98, before I switched to Linux based desktop -- Ubuntu specifically).

In my case, I didn't see any reset in Firewall settings or Limit Ad Tracking as I just updated one of my macOS Big Sur from v11.2.2 to v11.2.3 (on a MacBook Pro 2015).

P.S.: I checked these settings after reading your post and before updating my laptop.

I highly recommend that you consult the original book (also referenced in TFA) as your primary source to find answer to your question.

> Let it be understood at once that we are wholly in favour of the proposition that most people ought to be able to read faster than they do. Too often, there are things we have to read that are not really worth spending a lot of time reading; if we cannot read them quickly, it will be a terrible waste of time. It is true enough that many people read some things too slowly, and that they ought to read them faster. But many people also read some things too fast, and they ought to read those things more slowly. A good speed reading course should therefore teach you to read at many different speeds, not just one speed that is faster than anything you can manage now. It should enable you to vary your rate of reading in accordance with the nature and complexity of the material.
