Should this not go away with the final rule from the FTC on cancellation. Ït should be as easy to cancel as it is to subscribe in the first place.

If that rule is law, then what are the fines that Carta faces if it does not adhere to that rule.

The FTC "click-to-cancel" rule is only concerned with subscriptions by consumers. B2B services, like those offered by Carta, are outside its ambit.

I don't expect that rule to survive. Last time trump took office he went on a petty vendetta through all government departments to try to undo every little thing obama did.

Realistically the FTC doesn’t have the staffing or expertise to act on much at all.

They can offer “rules” of questionable value post-Chevron, but even in areas like COPPA where they have clear statutory authority, and widespread lawbreaking, they do nothing.

However, like all things in the United States, justice is for sale, you just need to sue.

I have been to prison. No matter what they say it is a violent place. Even the “minimum security” ones.

You don’t get to choose your prison. You don’t get to choose your bunk mate. They are racially segregated and there is a pecking order.

She did get a larger than expected sentence. Probably to send an example. I can say. But I believe judges are adversely affected by media as well.

Over 2 million of the 20 Million PPP loans were fraudulent but fewer than 100 people went to prison.

The money quotes:

Broadly speaking, and as more fully discussed below, algorithmic trading in the equities and to a lesser extent—in the debt market, has improved many measures of market quality and liquidity provision during normal market conditions, though studies have also shown that some types of algorithmic trading may exacerbate periods of unusual market stress or volatility. Advances in technology and communications have enabled many market participants to more efficiently provide liquidity, more efficiently access market liquidity, implement new trading services, and more effectively manage risk across a range of markets.

Today, algorithms address many of the problems and decisions that have long been central to the business of trading. What instrument(s) should be invested in or traded? What price should be bid or offered? What order size is optimal? What should be the response to a request for a quotation? What risk will be taken on by facilitating a trade? How does that risk change with the size of the trade? Is the risk of a trade appropriate to a firm’s available capital? What is the relationship between the price of different but related securities or financial products? To what market should an order be sent? Is it more effective to provide liquidity or demand liquidity? Should an order be displayed or non-displayed? To which broker should an order be sent? When should an order be submitted to a trading center?

There are over 20 newsletters making over 100K according to https://digiday.com/media/how-substack-has-spawned-a-new-cla...

The article also has a list of about 5-10 of them including a) Hell World, b) the Dispatch, c) Superorganizers (Part of Everything bundle), etc.

I like it. I am signing up. But I think the challenge is that I dont even check the email I signed up with on facebook. I use a separate email.

Awesome, thanks! You can change your Facebook email here: https://www.facebook.com/help/207097142662705

Your signup process is really frustrating. First, your About you should give me an indication of how many characters have been completed and how many are left. Second, your Captcha is asking for the X month of the year. Most people I know dont say September (when typing at least), instead just say Sep. There is no visual clue or early warning before you bounce me 4 times. Frustrating.

sorry to hear that but the the x month of the year would still be September and I don't know anyone that would say "see you in sep". The "about you" is 140 characters - like a tweet which is essentially just a couple of lines. There is a link go the explanation below that field. Writing "I want it" or "I need it " is not sufficient. Please understand this is required to be sure that the service doesn't die on the weight of spammers or people planning to use this for other trouble making activities. Over 300 people made it since this news was published so...yes you can (if you want).

All the large tech companies (Public) made the first 100+ employees "rich" by getting them to work for them. "Rich" compared to their peers who did not work at these companies early on. "Wealthy", now that's completely different. You will find that of the 1201 (Mar 2011) billionaires, only 28 worked for someone else.

I use my calendar as a to-do list. Works for me. Block out time to do tasks - not just meetings. That way it forces me to bucket time for stuff to get done.

Google analytics API. We use it, have been for a few months and its excellent.

The end goal is to be more productive and to ship something. Given most software development is hidden from the end user, most times its immaterial what its written on.
