The capture filters and display filters are interfaces to two sort of unrelated pieces. Maybe the misfeature is that wireshark doesn't do good job of communicating that.

BTW, If you want constant monitoring for your applications, you can buy a shark appliance that you can always go back to to investigate issues.

I feel like there is a lot of disrespect for our ancestors when we try to apologize for our "luck" or "privilege".

If one's own parents labored and suffered to create value and provide for their child, does that child not deserve to enjoy the fruits of that labor? If that child honors their parents by continuing a tradition of hard work, albeit more comfortably, why does he need to feel ashamed of his success? At which generation do we disinherit the sacrifices of those who came before us?

> month-to-month

This literally means the landlord doesn't need a reason. It just means you need to give them 30days notice.

Of course they do. It's part of the rent.

edit: oh that was saarcasm

Yeah, that is strange. The opposite of the expected outcome for an economically rational recycling operation.

> sufficiently high temperatures

Can you fuel such a fire with only the trash? Or do we need to supplement with other fossil fuels?

> monopoly the SEC (federal gov't) gave the Big Three (Moody's, S&P, Fitch)

But wasn't part of the problem that there was competition among them? They were handing out favorable(fraudulent) ratings becuase they were trying to poach customers from the others?

> right from the start

Why would thousands of entrepreneurs open GM, Ford, and Chrysler dealerships when the manufacturers could just open a store and undercut them? These laws were a promise to protect that business model.

That doesn't mean that such laws are a great fit for our current economy, but it started out innocent enough.

FWIW, I don't think there is anything special about R&D. Most of that is just straight up expenses, like salaries for the folks doing the R&D. Buying expensive equipment can be depreciated, regardless of the specific purpose.

There is legitimate value added by robos that aren't accessible from target date funds. As to how valuable, it is up to the individuals to decide.

- tax-sensitive allocations (i.e. munis in taxable account, reit, total bond in tax advantaged account) - Continuous tax-loss harvesting - Continuously adjustable allocation - forecasting and allocation advice - "goal based" accounts

Also user experience is worth something for some people: - UI/Apps - statements, trade confirms, tax forms - electronic only (no reams of paper sent to you) - ease of transferring funds in/out

Also note that it can be cheap. WiseBanyan is presently free (charging 25bp to turn on TLH). Betterment at 15bp ends up being only 10bp more than Vanguard's Target date funds funds at 18bp.

Also interesting to note that for an equity heavy allocation, betterment at 15bp, is only about 10bp more than the Vangaurd Target Date funds at 18bp.

The schwab one, "Intelligent Portfolios", has been criticized for keeping a large(up to 7%) cash position, and stacking the allocation with some high cost "Fundamental" schwa index funds.

Betterment and Wealthfront, would be the biggest players. WiseBanyan is interesting becuase there is not fee. Sigfig is interesting becuase it trades at your existing brokerages.

Futureadvisor and sigfig can trade at your brokerages.

In terms of actual money, that's not wrong. The core operations are at about break-even per the 2014 report:

They recorded $10B from alibaba shares, They broke even on actual operations.

In case anyone wanted a real answer, it's just advertising, as it has always been:

"We generate revenue principally from search and display advertising on Yahoo Properties and Affiliate sites, with the majority of our revenue coming from advertising on Yahoo Properties. Our margins on revenue from advertising on Yahoo Properties are higher than our margins on revenue from advertising on Affiliate sites as we pay TAC to our Affiliates. Additionally, we generate revenue from other sources including listings-based services, facilitating commercial transactions, royalties, and consumer and business fee-based services."

What if the value I create is a house that other people can live in? Am I allowed to collect payments from them, or was I supposed to gift it to them?

>Land value tax.

Property taxes already exist. The people renting the property already pay it. If that tax goes up, then so do the rents.

Whether the autobiographical bits are true or not, the highlights as presented by the article are a valuable message for people who didn't already understand as such.

> HFT is responding to information about trades that have already happened (possibily at a different exchange).

And that they were likely a party to. They would place small orders on all the stocks so that they could detect activity that they could exploit at the next exchange a millisecond down the wire.

> how the real estate market works.

I'm not saying it's your own broker or agent that is biding up the remainder of the lots you are intending to buy. It is "observers" who are manipulating the system in a way to make you reveal to them your intentions and price, so they can "front run" you for the next transaction a millisecond later at the next exchange.

And the reason I quoted observers was becuase in my limited understanding (if i had the book in front of me I would re-read this), the HFT traders would put up some token offers up on all the stocks for the purpose of exposing potential activity that they could abuse. A quick google of this suggests that this is called "Pinging".

> experience building their Aereo antenna infrastructure

I thought the extent of their antenna technology was just a board with a bunch of token antenna element that gave the illusion that each subscriber was using a dedicated antenna.

I only know as much as I read in Flash Boys, and it sounds like front-running is generally the right name for this, but the difference is that it is not your broker but 3rd parties who are fishing for info on potential trades that are front-running.

By your analogy, the real estate agent knows you want to buy 5 houses, and suddenly after closing the first one, the price of the remaining 4 goes up.

"DVD" quality looks pretty good on my 40" TV. I doubt I'd appreciate "Bluray" quality on my 5" screen.

Lots of mobile carriers already do this with Bytemobile (recently acquired by Citrix)

But then you never discover what the highest price those customers would have paid. One of those $1 sales might have been a $5 sale, but now the customer gets the surplus value.

LTE Personal Cellspot is great!

Also, "two bars" may not actually be bad. If you are getting slow speeds, dropped calls, etc, then sure that is bad.

It just means making a product that is very similar to existing products. Typically there would be a dominant player already and a new entrant may think they could be successful by capturing just a small piece of the action.

Like dropbox for file sync. Google drive, amazon cloud drive, and microsoft onedrive could be the me-too's. They are mostly differentiating on prices and platforms, but fundamentally the same.

Or taken to a further extreme, opening a gas station at the same intersection as an existing gas station. The only differentiation is which side of the street you are on. Of course this does happen, and they must be profitable enough to continue operating, but can never be wildly profitable.

Not impossible to make a business out of a "me too", but harder. Catering to a niche could work. Competing only on price typically doesn't work. Better quality and better user experience are good opportunities, but take a lot of work to reach and demonstrate.

> my "landlord stack"

How are you liking xero? Did you have any accounting software experience before that? I'm still using desktop Quickbooks, and I'm afraid that the online QB or xero may be missing features. Haven't made the time to eval them yet.

Are you paying Rocket Lawyer in perpetuity? Once you get your single lease and your initial questions asked what else do you need? Do they give you a discount on the evictions?

Cozy looks interesting, I'll have to check it out.
