After being friends with public people, I got in the habit of asking people in pictures before I post, regardless of if they're on Instagram or not. And I NEVER post kid pictures. I find these rules should be obvious to most people. I'll even ask my wife first, who is always just about to post the same set of pictures I am. It's the decent thing to do.

I used to work for an assistive tech company that did part of this. For people who have degenerative diseases like ALS, we would create speech profiles for them before they lost their voice so that once they did, their computer-generated voice (through eye tracking software and hardware) would be their own and not a generic voice.

I think they're insiders if they know something's about to happen the general public isn't privy to that will affect the market. I don't think you need to be part of a company to be an insider. For instance, you could be part of a regulatory board knowing you were about to open up restrictions on something that would enable a company to make money in a sector it was previously outlawed from and it would be only natural to invest in that company before the regulatory change went public.

Can't they still be prosecuted by the SEC for insider trading? /s
