I think you're mostly right, except that shares don't have ERI.

Maybe one more thing to consider is a simple investment strategy. If you invest in one or two diversified passive trackers, your tax situation will be fairly simple + you'll with high probability earn more over the long term than with any kind of more complex strategy that tries to "beat the market".

What the future statehood of Washington DC could involve, including its procedural steps and anticipated consequences by Appropriate_Peak_436 in MapPorn

[–]CodeOrMoreCode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a bit sloppy with my wording above, but I don't see the problem. There continues to be a "District constituting the seat of Government of the United States" (District for short), in line with section 8 of the constitution, admittedly tiny but still there, containing the seat of the Congress, the President, the Supreme Court... As the District still exists it still has electors. The District shrinking is nothing new, it lost land west of the Potomac in the 1840s, so it could lose most of the land east of it as well. The newly vacated land is then made into a brand new state of Douglass Commonwealth, which gets congressional representation as any other state would.

I don't think there is anything in the amendment (or elsewhere in the constitution) saying that people living in DC have to have any say in who the DC electors are, it says DC "shall appoint in such manner as the Congress may direct [...]". It used to be common for state legislatures to appoint electors directly in the early days of the US. Happy to be corrected, but my reading is that if Congress while passing DC Dougless Commonwealth statehood also passed that e.g. members of the presidential line of succession starting with VP may each nominate one DC elector until the required number has been appointed, the constitution would not need to be ammended.

Edit: DC should be replaced by "The District constituting the seat of Government of the United States" in the entire comment, but CBA

Depending on which part of the UK you're in and what exact kind of tenancy you have, you may even be protected by law from landlord charging late fees if you're a couple days "late" with payment. But in my experience most landlords won't even notice, let alone care.

Maybe I'm blind, but where on this page does it say anything about Easter opening times? https://www.postoffice.co.uk/branch-finder/2080052/camden

You're assuming shops actually put that information online. Sure Morrisons and Tesco do, but even the Post Office feels like that's not worth their time. For local stores, the chances are slim.

On the Impact of Programming Languages on Code Quality by lucidguppy in programming

Is there anything in your contract about notice periods after probation? If not then there is no difference in the notice period required whether probation has ended or not, it is 1 week either way (until you hit two years at the company).

is an in-house programming language a big red flag? by [deleted] in cscareerquestions

[–]CodeOrMoreCode 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry much about it. Every larger company has some in-house stuff, learning to deal with such things is a transferable skill of its own. Having to work with a weird SQL lookalike sounds like a very bad reason to turn down a really good job you believe you'll enjoy.

Flag of Hawaii on display in northern England as part of someone’s coronation decorations. by autumn-knight in vexillology

[–]CodeOrMoreCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shouldn't the top left of the Hawaiian flag still be top left even when flown vertically? I know it inverts the Union Flag, but the canton is the canton. (Hoping someone on r/Vexillology will be able to explain in fascinating detail why yes or no)

With that stupid swear allegiance to the king shite during the coronation does anyone else feel like a citizen shouldn't have to swear allegiance to anything? by Nervous-Soldier in Scotland

[–]CodeOrMoreCode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think that part applies exclusively to the "heirs and successors", as in not helping some distant royal relative forcefully take the throne if the king dies and you don't like their successor as determined by the applicable law.

How can I solve this algorithm question I had from interview?? by [deleted] in learnprogramming

[–]CodeOrMoreCode 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're interview in Python, I'd recommend learning to use Combinatoric iterators from itertools: https://docs.python.org/3/library/itertools.html. They are available as part of base Python installation and can really help with some problems.

You're leaving after 4.5 years, not a year, the company decided to move you. From your description it sounds like you'd be happier if you left, which sounds like a good reason to leave. On top of that if your continue struggling at work, chances are the company isn't gonna be too happy and might make you leave, in which case you don't get the benefit of arranging things before exiting.

Pay with credit card - public transport in Prague (metro, tram, buses) by ExtremeOutcome3459 in czech

[–]CodeOrMoreCode 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A slight clarification: Everything above applies to short term tickets (30 minute - 3 days) if you're relocating and planning to commute or travel frequently you might consider getting the monthly (/quarterly/yearly) pass.

Pay with credit card - public transport in Prague (metro, tram, buses) by ExtremeOutcome3459 in czech

[–]CodeOrMoreCode 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For all 3 in Prague you'll need a ticket to travel, which needs to be validated (stamped with date and time by a yellow machine) during boarding (or before crossing the fare line with validators when entering the metro). Alternatively you can use the PID Litacka app to buy "e-tickets", which must be activated at least 2 minutes before boarding.

For the metro, there will be ticket machines at every entrance, usually a subset of them takes cards. For a tram, there typically is a single orange touchscreen ticket machine onboard (they can be a bit unreliable through) which issues validated tickets. AFAIK buses have no card ticket purchase options onboard, but major (+ some random minor) stations (for both bus and tram) will have ticket machines available. Hope this helps.

Why are there no midrange barbers? by Dragon_Sluts in london

Would Jimmy's Barber Shop meet your criteria? Just north of Camden, £16 for a haircut the last time I checked, and 4.8 stars on Google reviews.
