Cool project. Seeing analytics + search console in menu bar would be pretty handy. Personally not valuable enough for me to purchase but I can see the value. I’m trying to minimize distractions.
This is well intentioned but bad advice.

Studies in behavioral finance are clear that ordinary investors should not invest in individual stocks over indexes. There are too many pitfalls.

Even hedge funds with teams of sector analysts rarely beat the market consistently.

Agree, you also need chlorine in the water to treat the distribution system of pipes to your home. So you need to filter chlorine at point of use anyways.

Instead, you can lose access to your money just because you forgot your secret key.

I like it. It’s quirky and memorable. As you say elsewhere, it’s based on the user time zone and you can “wake up“ the site if needed. Nice idea!

People bring it up because BTC evangelists keep arguing that bitcoin is a game changer for remittances, the unbanked, transactions, etc.
Re:Avoid buying in HOA neighborhoods (2014) on Monday May 31, 2021 @09:13PM (#27349811)
All policy decisions aside… At an individual level (in the US), it’s prudent because over the last 50 years homes have been shown to keep their value and beat inflation. For many people it’s a rare chance to accumulate wealth, especially if there is a bubble forming in their market. Therefore, they have an interest in whether their neighbors make decisions that lower their home value.

You’re missing the point. If the board makes a decision you don’t like, you can vote them out. They are elected officials meant to represent you so that the average homeowner doesn’t have to get into the minutia of contracts or managing common property.
mRNA vaccines are not “gene therapy” in the popular sense of the term. They do not alter your genes in any way.

Calling vaccines gene therapy is like calling milk “pus” or saying you shouldn’t use a microwave because it has “radiation”.

It’s an appeal to an emotional response to a word. It’s one of the most annoying argumentative tactics.

This is only relevant if people aren’t holding their coins on exchanges. Most users are and that concentration will increase as transaction fees are designed to do over the next decade.

If you have decent credit and salary you can buy a home for only 5% down.

With 10-15k saved you can then buy a starter home in a smaller city or maybe outside the metropolitan area of a midsized city.

Could you give some examples of the work you find most useful to outsource to your assistant? Do you have them log into any of your accounts, and if so, how do you handle security/passwords?
