"Even though personal rates of return are crucial numbers for any investor trying to reach a goal, few fund families provide these returns on investors' account statements. Why not? Many fund companies brush off any suggestions for improved disclosure by arguing that providing more information would only confuse investors, or by pointing to surveys showing that shareholders are satisfied with the status quo." https://www.morningstar.co.uk/uk/news/65362/understanding-yo...

In any case, for me, the PRR is the best measure I know to understand how my portfolio is performing. I don't think it's confusing... if my PRR is 10%, it means that a fixed-rate account with a 10% APY would have provided the same returns when applying to it the same cash inflows and outflows as my investments. I think that effectively communicates the performance of the portfolio (and lets me compare it with other portfolios, or particular investments).

I think that people in government should design rules to provide equal opportunities to everyone. I think that will benefit you even if you see yourself only as a consumer. I agree with what the article says, the European regulations only benefit the bigger companies, which have the resources to handle the red tape.

I submitted this to Hacker News some months ago, and seems relevant here...

Tell HN: Steal idea for product to automate reporting of barking dogs complaints https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19436807

(although I was thinking of dog barking when I wrote it, it's actually applicable for any kind of noise pollution)

I think https://clojureverse.org/ is a much better place for discussion.

I assume that in order to find images of relevant outfits for the expressed "needs", the images have to be tagged with colors, brands, garment types... If that tagging is manual, I wonder if it could be automated using the object detection feature of an image analysis service like Amazon Rekognition or Google Cloud Vision.

Maybe automated tagging would allow richer tagging, and that could be key to find the best results for each user's taste.

As for SEO, I just got a couple of backlinks by posting about Omnimemory on some websites. I considered content marketing but I haven't actually written anything yet.

It has a freemium model. It only has 35 signed-up users and nobody is paying. I only did some "marketing" for a couple of weekends (this is a side project), posting about it in some blogs, forums, Hacker News... I quickly got tired of this marketing work and moved on to other projects.

I developed the first bot, which can be used as a sample, with JavaScript (ES6, and ES7's async/await) and Nightmare (based on Electron, so on Chromium).

It's awesome because free API access to this data for any bank in the world may enable new and interesting fintech apps (actually, for me this project is a stepping stone towards another project that I plan to build on top of it), and I think that the open-source approach is the most effective way to achieve that (i.e. free and comprehensive API access to accounts data on any bank of the world).

Stevie Graham did that in Teller (http://teller.io/), i.e. he reverse engineered the mobile apps (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11077362). But I think that controlling a browser programmatically and scraping pages is an easier approach. Sometimes it may even be the only possible one (ex. if encryption is used at the app level).

The money collected from the punishments can be used wherever is needed. Maybe to partially fund the roads, thus benefiting users of roads with lower tolls. Maybe to support free health and education, thus benefiting everyone.
