I completely agree that SPD is petrified. I've live/worked in downtown Seattle for a while - and while I think some of the 'scaryness' is overblown, it's hard not to see a change in the trend over the past few years.

Comcast services only select locations too. A good number of apartments around the city don't even offer Comcast (and instead the aforementioned and other services such as 'Wave'). The building I live in (granted, yes, an upscale condo), had several offerings.

Full on competition? No. But better than a wide majority of cities? Yes. (Try living in Florida...ugh)

I'm assuming he means the Pike/Pine alley and Pioneer square, sadly famous for aggressive panhandling, unruly 'youth', and shootings. I live in and work in downtown (haven't driven in months) and it's def. getting a little more 'rough' by the month. Especially Westlake area.

Comcast has other serious challengers here in Seattle as well between CascadeLink (terrible website, but top notch service) and CondoInternet, if you can get either of those, you'll never look at Comcast again (between $30-60/month for 30/100mbit)

What you're talking is yield and volatility. When you're running a fund, you need to manage to benchmarks, and MSFT is a great position for exposure. IV is on the low end, there is plenty of liquidity should you need to raise cash, and with a dividend of right around 3% you have a nice predictable return, which is a big deal with institutional investing.

Additionally securities like MSFT, you can comfortably get 'aggressive' through call writing, and juice returns a little more without your risk metrics being outside your targets.

And even Linus talks about the NSA in that same thread a little lower: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/30/116

To be fair, he mentioned Youtube, which even in Chrome uses Flash by default.

For credit repair, you'll need to do certified mail for certain requests. This is something we're getting ready to launch :-) Feel free to reach out (info in profile), if we can help.

Hi there, Founder of TryPaper.com here, we handle some of the core printing & mailing processes all via API :)

I think more coincidence. EasyPost and TryPaper both started around the same time (Q3 2013). Nothing specific on the USPS side has happened.

That being said, one thing we've seen, is as companies have invested more and more in digital delivery, they've 'de-invested' in their physical print & mail production, so it makes a lot of off load it to a S(oftware)+S(ervices) model.
