In the second case, the stronger color can be offset by giving the weaker color more cash / other properties.

Saying “we gotta get Greenland” when the people in Greenland say they don’t want to join the US. Then refusing to rule out using force. If you want to say that no exact act of treachery has been committed, then substitute “treacherous words”, which also harms alliances.

The problem isn't using OneDrive. The problem is not using it. If you try to not use it, the dark patterns the article references appear.

Heads up on this media source: part of Hunterbrook's business model to give investment funds early access to the news, so they can trade ahead of it [1].

Now that is not to say that this story is false, or even that the business model is necessarily bad, I will leave that up to you to decide. But this media source has a different set of motivations than most readers are used to. You'll notice that the news is about two US companies that are easily shortable, DHI and LEN.

I agree that it is not economics, or at least that their argument about economics does not suffice.

This is not a challenge and I am genuinely curious to hear your perspective: in what way does Greece teach their youngest generation to not want to have children?

Would you mind continuing your tangent? I have a set of friends who really like Oster and I don’t know much about her. Feel free to email me (address is in my profile) if you don’t want to discuss in these comments.

There’s some nuance/caveats, but here’s a study showing humans lost height during the switch from hunting/gathering to agriculture:

You have the best post on this thread. One question, since you seem pretty knowledgable: I thought margin accounts were covered under SIPC? Can you send me a link on how with a margin account we are unsecured creditors? I found this one but it didn't really mention being unsecured: https://www.sipc.org/for-investors/investor-faqs#how-are-mar...

Thanks and great post!

Good to point that out, although I was still surprised by how high the percentage was even taking that into account.

I'd be pretty interested to see how cash account is treated differently; I couldn't find a better reference either. But one advantage over the coinbase situation is at least the margin account falls under SIPC.
