For a large, highly liquid ETF like SPY, it’s easy to rapidly unwind a position at a very tight spread. How does Double’s approach—directly holding the individual underlying securities—compare in terms of market liquidity and transaction costs, especially if I need to quickly liquidate my portfolio or adjust my positions?

Mautâm is a cyclic ecological phenomenon that occurs every 48–50 years in the northeast India. It begins with a rat population boom, which in turn creates a widespread famine in those areas.
I've read https://bikeshed.com/ several times over, but never bothered to look at who Bret Glass was. Well, four years ago, he published a rebuttal on quora.

It mattered for people on the East Coast. Where I am (New York), we couldn't access Github, Twitter, Paypal and many other services. To make matters worse, AWS us-east region was configured to use Dyn. Therefore, many applications that depended on it (and on Heroku) were down. At my workplace, we had to reconfigure DNS for our own applications even though we didn't directly use Dyn. It really was a big deal.

Its a campaign by the PM of India to encourage companies to 'make in India' and hence the website name. Of course we all know the label 'made in Xyz', but they probably chose the name based on the campaign name.

EDIT: But I agree that the website fails to clearly state its objectives and provide information to people on how to navigate the ubiquitous red tape.
