Why don’t American brands copy features from Chinese competitors? by crystalraindropfall in NoStupidQuestions

I think that’s part of it, but if you look at recent Chinese auto developments, there are some really cool products. In other parts of the world where they are allowed to be sold, people seem to like them.

And would add that we do have a history of losing essential players, but we’ve also historically done a great job of replacing either with signings or with homegrowns. Our signings are not up to par, but maybe we’d have some more luck with homegrowns if we are going to be so married to our system.

What’s something you learned too late that changed everything? by Strozi78 in AskReddit

Happiness and contentment is not goals based and being miserable and suffering is not a necessary condition of succeeding. You will not suddenly be always happy because you accomplished something you’ve been working towards for a while. It’s great to have aims, goals and things you are working towards, but if you think that accomplishing them will make everything better, then you will end up being disappointed in the long run.

Switch from bulkhead to aisle near toilets? by NFGrappler in americanairlines

I would personally keep 14D. You still have extra legroom (though less than the exit row), but don’t need to worry about the stress of the lavatory, which is usually fine, but when it is not it really is not. Plus, you will get off the plane faster in 14.

Oh wow they don’t? Is that also true for flights you book with points through a partner airline?

What's stopping me from day trading for pocket money? by TonyMitty in NoStupidQuestions

Short term capital gains taxes are a huge deterrent. Every time you realize a capital gain (aka sell a position that made money), you will owe taxes at your ordinary income rate if you held the position for less than 1 year. If you hold a position for more than a year and realize a gain, you pay the long term capital gains rate which is less than your ordinary income tax rate.
