    Does a disciplined trader smoke weed (?)

    Drinking when there are children around! I've never seen the likes of that at a restaurant, picnic, or, gasp, a "winter festival". If you think you need to be drinking direct from a wine bottle to put lives in danger you may have been lucky enough not to have experienced a functioning...

    Bet On Line

    Whatever your gripes were with Nadex they are going to be X10 with any of these unregulated offshore outfits. Also presumably you're an American if you were with Nadex, which makes it against U.S. law for this site to deal with you. You won't get in trouble with the law (probably), but if...

    Does a disciplined trader smoke weed (?)

    Would you have thought the same if you'd seen him drinking a beer or a glass of wine at the winter festival? I don't smoke weed and do drink, but I'm blown away by this idea that somehow someone who recreationally smoke dope is going to start smoking it before picking up school kids but someone...

    Why the word heresy bothers me.

    If you're an adherent of most religions you believe that out of the, say, 10,000 religions that have existed on earth, 9,999 are false. If you're an atheist you believe that 10,000 are false. Seems a bit presumptuous for anyone who is sure that 9,999 of thing X are false to think they are in any...

    Tesla Registration Delay Fraud

    I have to agree, even working with state and local government you can end up with absurd A/R queues. Managing your A/R is a pretty significant part of running a business, there a all kinds of tricks to both managing it and things like factoring if it's not manageable. I kind of doubt any...

    London post-brexit as a financial center

    Actually that's just such a fundamental aspect of economics that I don't know how you couldn't grasp it. If you make money you buy stuff. If you don't, you can't. Therefore the people who make stuff very much care if you make money or not. Maybe not you, specifically, but certainly the people in...

    What's IB's policy regarding unauthorised activity?

    How many folks have had their life's savings stolen by unauthorized trades in the past decade? Vs how many folks have died in a car crash, while crossing the street, or literally by being hit by lightening? It's one of those low probability events like a plane crash that the human brain dwells...

    Designing an efficient database

    Except that it can be far more efficient to do a lot of the analysis through the SQL call if it's related to finding related data. You know this I know, but just to keep him from going down to road of building a massive array in his code that he iterates through when he could have done it in a...

    NYC Hedge-Fund Managers and Silicon Valley CEOs are Flocking to Miami as ‘Tax Refugees,’

    I'm not employed in trading and have never claimed to be. I flew in the military as a pilot for 20 years and became an entrepreneur currently on my second startup in the electricity generation and distribution field after a successful exit on my first. I think I've been pretty consistent on...

    NYC Hedge-Fund Managers and Silicon Valley CEOs are Flocking to Miami as ‘Tax Refugees,’

    Actually you're again just completely incorrect. Is or is not Gregory Hayes the CEO of what you call the "new" UTC (There is only one CEO of a company, just so you know)? Is or is not Michael Dumais the COO of what you call the "new" UTC? Is or is not Paul Eremenko the CTO of what you call the...

    Transfer money between brokers by trading?

    For sure, it's crazy to have to even contemplate going to those lengths to withdraw you money!

    NYC Hedge-Fund Managers and Silicon Valley CEOs are Flocking to Miami as ‘Tax Refugees,’

    "Put me in my place" with a link to an article which stated exactly what I stated? Perhaps that term doesn't mean what you think it means, or you just couldn't be bothered to actually read the entire article? It is good that you noted the guy whose post consists of "Alright you asshole. Get your...

    NYC Hedge-Fund Managers and Silicon Valley CEOs are Flocking to Miami as ‘Tax Refugees,’

    The entire corporate headquarters of UTX is in CT. UTX is a conglomerate. It has a bunch of divisions. The corporate HQ for UTX is in CT and is remaining in CT and the leadership of UTX is in CT and is staying in CT. The leadership of their divisions are all over, some are in Florida. Any...

    NYC Hedge-Fund Managers and Silicon Valley CEOs are Flocking to Miami as ‘Tax Refugees,’

    I read the same article, it says exactly what I said! Perhaps a little reading comprehension could do you some good, along with a little civility?

    NYC Hedge-Fund Managers and Silicon Valley CEOs are Flocking to Miami as ‘Tax Refugees,’

    So those are all subsidiaries of UTX. It is decidedly incorrect to state "All the executives of UTX relocated to Palm Beach Florida mid 2018" when nothing even approaching that actually happened. I understand it doesn't fit a given political narrative to truthfully say "Some executives from some...

    NYC Hedge-Fund Managers and Silicon Valley CEOs are Flocking to Miami as ‘Tax Refugees,’

    You may be a bit confused there, UTX does everything from elevators to avionics to jet engines to air conditioners. Rockwell Collins, a recent acquisition late in 2018, moved the leadership of what is now a UTX subsidiary into a combined office with the existing Pratt and Whitney folks in Palm...

    Life after death is clearly real. Why do people still ridicule it?

    Gotta admit I had to look up "edgelord", learned something new today!

    Life after death is clearly real. Why do people still ridicule it?

    That's how it usually works, people use logic to point out the flaws in yours, and that "simple" idea you had turns out to be neither simple nor potentially even rational. If you're not OK with that then you've pretty much stagnated intellectually and one wonders why you're bothering to ask such...

    Life after death is clearly real. Why do people still ridicule it?

    Whose soul is occupying the body of someone with Alzheimer's who doesn't even know what century they're in? Let me guess, it's "trapped"? But not the soul of the near death experience guy, his unmoors for a time and comes back? While experiencing something that coincidentally always mirrors...

    Some clear thinking about Amazon’s ‘shocking’ tax incentives

    I don't think you get the crux of the issue. If you believe that something will make the place where you live unaffordable to you and force you to move to a worse "comparative shithole" then it's not a boon to you no matter how good it is for that neighborhood. Neither Amazon nor you addressed...
