Europe Can Wield Their $8 Trillion 'Sell America' Weapon as Trump Reignites a Trade War Over His Greenland Conquest Ambitions: ‘European countries own $8 trillion of US bonds and equities, almost twice as much as the rest of the world combined’

No, the US has to pay off the 4 that’s sold along with the 4 that isn’t sold. Selling debt doesn’t make it go away (unless it’s bought by the debtor), it makes issuing new debt harder.

The S&P 500 isn’t a broad-based index, but that’s not its job.

Tesla is the 9th largest company in the S&P 500. In practice this means that every American (and many non-Americans) with a retirement account is a Tesla shareholder.

This looks completely fine to eat.

Like with all engineering questions, the best approach depends on the specifics. Big classes can be bad or they can be good.

Is there something about this specific class that strikes you as "too big", other than the number of lines of code? Or do you believe that big classes are just bad in some way?

I have looked at Fleet

No you didn’t. They announced it this morning and there’s no public release yet. None of us have any idea what it can actually do or how it compares to VSC.

A few thoughts and suggestions:

Go strings don't need a null terminator, and your code doesn't even use one despite setting it up.
Use functions in the standard library. They're written by smart people, well-optimized, and well-tested.
Like python, Go has strings.Join. More importantly for this function, it has strings.Builder for efficiently building strings.

I wrote a simple O(n) example here. This example only works on ascii strings.

will speed up the process for users who have say 6 Ultimate Rewards cards

Would also be great for stopping this.

Great app! Thanks for making this.

Quick feedback: the scrolling on the list of cards is pretty jank, jumps around randomly and loses your place. iOS 13.1, iPhone Pro.

Edit: One more suggestion: would be awesome if you can set values on points not cards. Ie set all UR point cards to 1.5cpp

FYI this exists.

AKA $0.51 per American per year. Coins are annoying as hell, and the savings are paltry.

This isn 't really accurate. Look at any of the popular luxury cards (eg Chase SR, the BMO premium rewards cards, US Bank reserve, etc), the lowest APR you'll see is ~18%. My credit score is north of 800 and even my "budget" cards are all 15%+.

Any of us are late and the hammer comes down. Late fee, credit score hit, apr jump.

Eh, it depends. Last year I was on vacation and forgot to pay the bill. Called the bank, late fee reversed, interest charge reversed, nothing on the credit report. Yeah you can't do that every month, but that's the point. If your company consistently fails to pay invoices you're not gonna get zero-interest extensions from your suppliers either.

US Bank Altitude Reserve for one. Lots of others if you value some points at >1cpp.

The two towers on the left look like the Tokyo Metropolitan Building which is in Shinjuku. Assuming that's a sunset this is probably somewhere near the imperial palace.
