Their support will eventually just end the conversation and block replies if you are unsatisfied. TOS bind you to arbitration but they'll probably kick it to small claims. Overall if you end up on the wrong side of a bad support response it's a shitty experience.

Relatively defined events yes, i.e probably wouldn't try to click through FOMC (is number better/worse than FedWatch) but take something like BTC ETF getting approval:
- you aren't sure where the announcement will come from first, i.e will it leak via journalist
- there will be plenty of false announcements
- the official SEC twitter account got hacked and posted it was approved (Phone number taken over, no 2FA enabled lolol)
- there will be volatility around fake announcements as others are running bots
- LLMs interpretation of "BTC ETF approved" vs "With BTC ETF approval" can cause you to start eating lot of transaction costs
You can still (presently...) come out on top as a bag of meat. Is it worth the hours and cortisol vs half decent tech job? going to say entirely dependent on the scorecard afterwards and if you value doing something with actual purpose.

I know people that trade headlines full time that also at one point had a step count that averaged less than 200 steps a day. They do make good returns though.

bah, I meant cursor.sh/.com
Ask HN: Is privacy a premium feature with cursor.ai?
I want to try out cursor.ai with all of the hype but do I actually have to pay $40/month for the "business version" instead of the $20 "pro version" just to have access to paid software where my data isn't trained on/stored. This has been the one thing holding me back from diving into AI code editors.What code do you store?With "Privacy mode", your code is never stored anywhere other than your...

Hilarious how it's terror and/or think of the children nearly every time a privacy busting product or law is being pushed through or justified.
Attacks on Real Estate Agents: Be Prepared
Last month, the attack on a real estate agent in Encino, California, was brought to light as the incident was caught on camera. While we have all heard stories regarding the increase in attacks on agents, seeing it happen live on video made it very real for many and greatly impacted the agent community. No one wants to go to work afraid, not knowing who they will encounter each day.

Ask HN: How do you securely develop in Node or Python?
I'm new to using languages that pull down 100 packages to my development environment from third parties. What is best practice here to avoid my development environment getting exploited? Run everything in a VM?
