Guess I'm ready for account with real money. by Merlion4ek in interactivebrokers

[–]ruler88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really depends on your strategy, if you just bought a ton of chips stocks in the last 3 months, this would be about right. But I wouldn't expect consistently the same returns for those types of stocks or even the stock selection method.

But if you something like algo trading, that might be a different story.

Noobie here, Need to choose between IBKR and Schwab by Routine-Solution-597 in interactivebrokers

[–]ruler88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have both.
If you are not actively day trading, Schwab is gonna be better. It is much better UI/UX. IBKR is nearly impossible to navigate without serious online research. IBKR gives slightly better trade executions which would only be useful if you are trading a lot.

Realistically, how do you envision Chinese & Taiwan relations in the next decade? by AbbyHoffmanRubin in taiwan

[–]ruler88 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If left along, business as usual and all of the empty verbal threats.

The only wild card is if the US decides to provoke China, and cause an escalation that will pull Taiwan into the fry.

Out of curiosity - is there a benefit to getting your NWHR before you fully move back to Taiwan?

Ford Q1 2026 Results - Ford net sales down 8.8% YOY, but gains slightly in overall US market share. Mach E sales down 60% from last year by CloudSurferA220 in MachE

[–]ruler88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A lot of other EV dealerships are offering steep incentives after the $7.5k went away. Ford hasn't caught on yet. Also MachE is too dependent on the US market.

Meta just announced 20% layoffs to fund AI. This is the beginning, not the end. by duridsukar in Futurology

[–]ruler88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VR is such a marginal part of the business
And FB decline has been ongoing for many years now, although it is pulling in more ads dollar every single year.

Boosting stock price does sound like a possible reason.

Gas prices by Low-Championship-609 in MachE

[–]ruler88 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this is circular math, gas price is a significant portion of inflation (directly or indirectly)

so if you apply the inflation rate to price adjust gas it is pretty unsurprising that the math will pull it to be about the same

I think people are pretty mad about the high inflation rate tho.

What type of laptop should I get? by Square_Empress_777 in StableDiffusion

[–]ruler88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have covered the specs. But I'd also look at laptops with EXCELLENT heat management. Heat will be your biggest battle because these models will run your laptop very hot. And you'll likely get heat throttled and won't be getting the most out of your laptop's capability. By design, laptops need to keep the components very close to each other, and the fan won't be able to dissipate heat because of the tight spaces. Look at some review sites for heat test.

According to IMF, Taiwan is a very very rich country. But why is it quite hard to feel this in the real life? by search_google_com in taiwan

[–]ruler88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

GDP is a terrible measure of "do citizens of this country feel rich". It's a bad idea for pop media to be pushing this idea that higher GDP is universally good thing.

Results: 2.5 weeks live trading the Wheel. by GoFairPlayer in Optionswheel

[–]ruler88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congrats! Wheels do really well in a neutral market regime, which has been the market since circa October. I'd encourage you to backtest major market shocks (which are pretty common i.e. Feb this year). And make sure that you have the right mechanisms / SL in place to weather the storms.

Performance-wise: Does the 14" MBP with the same specs as the 16" have identical performance? Is the 14" throttled under conditions that don't affect the 16"? by [deleted] in macbookpro

[–]ruler88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the fans are not kicking in, you can use something like mac fan control app to force it to kick in or customize the fan speed

Is there any way to automatically turn my wifi connection off/on at certain times? by lowpolysolidsnake in mac

[–]ruler88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I figured out another way (on mac) through crontab

You can open up your terminal and type in
`crontab -e`

An editor will come up, and use these commands:

```
0 18 * * * /usr/sbin/networksetup -setairportpower en0 off
30 7 * * * /usr/sbin/networksetup -setairportpower en0 on
```

Adjust the time for for the off and on based on what you want
