No, I haven’t. Will have to look into it. Thanks!

Absolutely agreed that it doesn't make much business sense to keep supporting LR6. And 5 years is a long timer in the software world. That said, I wonder if there are companies that do support older versions of software just for the sake of customer delight.

I recently upgraded to an M1 Mac after my 2016 MacBook Pro died. It's an awesome machine; however, when I tried to install Lightroom 6, I wasn't able to because the installer isn't 64 bit. As a hobbyist who edits photos only a handful of times a year – usually after trips or photoshoots – moving to a subscription model is really costly. What's silly is that I was able to use Lightroom 6 on my 2016 MBP, even after upgrading to Big Sur. I don't blame Adobe for not supporting a product that came out 5 years ago but how nice would it be if they did.

Rockstar is a top song on Tiktok — maybe that's the reason?
Any sites you'd recommend for connecting with students/parents overseas looking to learn English?

Adobe XD is a free tool for prototyping, though not Open Source.
That's a fair point. I use Robinhood to diversify my porfolio so it's not just tracking against the market. So far, whether due to luck or skill, or both, it's been working out pretty well. So to put it another way, I don't see Robinhood as a replacement for the traditional brokerages (yet), but as a supplement.
Out of curiosity, if there are no fees, why not? That lets you theoretically diversifying your risk by investing $1,000 in 30 companies rather than say $5,000 in 6 companies.
As a Robinhood user, no fees is a big draw because while I don't buy/sell stocks that often, I might still be saving $50 a year. That extra $50 can be invested.

But beyond that, Robinhood has a really easy to use UI compared to platforms like TDAmeritrade. It's not only much easier to make trades but also see information like how much dividends I've earned, whether a company has hit their earnings, etc.

Robinhood also lets me invest any money I transfer from my bank immediately. There's no 3-5 business day wait. That said, I'm not sure if this is feature available to everyone or only those on Robinhood Gold.

Re:Ask HN: What do you nerds spend your money on? on Tuesday April 24, 2018 @02:38PM (#16915361)
I'd like to suggest donating money to causes/organizations you believe in, whether that's locally, in the US, or abroad. If you have excess, why not use a bit of that to help someone else? (Plus, it's often tax deductible.)
There are no fees on GDAX (Coinbase’s exchange) if you are a market maker, i.e. post only limit orders. So $801 + $1122 + $1077 = $3000.

Even if you don’t plan to trade, it might be a good idea to buy/sell through GDAX rather than Coinbase to avoid the fees.

I'm not sure the comment was about the CEO's looks as much as the photo itself. It has a stock/cliche feel to it with the product in the foreground, slight smile, pose, clothing, etc.

GDAX is a trading platform, so it might seem a little more daunting (UI-wise) for someone new to crypto.

Yes it is, at least when using Geekbench as a measure. The A11 beats some of the Intel processors in the 2017 MacBook Pro models.
