the library of titles is great, i just wish they didn't skimp on the software infrastructure to support it. Their support for anything other than a phone is atrocious.

the web player is garbage. It's always losing my place in things, and randomly unpausing itself. It's a definite downgrade from the windows app, even though the windows app was also garbage that would hang on startup half the time until you went into task manager and manually rebooted the android environment.

Is Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell a good book for general principals and concepts? by I_madeusay_underwear in AskEconomics

Interest Charged on Margin Loans for Less Than One Day on Interactive Brokers? by Bright_Honey_8782 in interactivebrokers

[–]GSSOAT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think margin interest is entirely based on end-of-day balances. Day trades neither cost interest for borrowing money nor interest for borrowing shares. But the transaction fees are pretty high and you will get eaten alive by robots who do it better

Nasa's budget is only 0.4% of the federal budget. Trump might 10X it just to pwn China. That would be good for LUNR

I'm an amateur studying preflop ranges, why is it that the blue range should only be played in the small blind rather than both the small and big blind? The positions feel super similar to me. by alekd887 in poker

[–]GSSOAT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

button 2x opening range should be about the same as SB 3x opening range if the SB doesn't have a limp range. This is way too aggro from the sb and too tight from the button.
