I only post limit orders and pay 0% maker fee on GDAX. I've never paid to make a trade. If you do pay as a taker, BTC is 0.25% and LTC is 0.3%, but I set relatively conservative exits for my positions and haven't had much trouble making them.
I am really skeptical about this being worth $5 a month. I suppose you could look at it like you're "buying" 12 free games for $5, since you do the discovery and vetting for me.
But ... the spectrum of quality in free games is HUGE and the percentage of games at the top of the spectrum is relatively tiny. I imagine this subscription would start with the heavy hitters but quickly devolve. And who's the target audience for this? Aren't most gamers relatively "in the know" in the free/f2p space? Can't someone who knows nothing about free games just Google "best free games?"
Even the quantity feels off to me -- 3 per week is too much. In the best case scenario, where you inform me of three games I didn't know about but I want to play, I can't get through them before you deliver another.
I dunno. Maybe I'm just not identifying the target audience for this; maybe they exist, but I can't imagine dropping any amount of money for this.
I kinda feel like this is an unnecessarily judgmental article about what comes down to two people with incompatible core values that never should've worked together in the first place.
Agreed. "Satan's Daughter" had different priorities than the author, but nothing in the reprinted conversations suggested she had any malicious intent. In fact, I can understand why she accused the author of being paranoid.
I quit reading because there seemed to be some unspoken emotional dynamic that made the author interpret SD's words in a much harsher manner than I read.
When I clicked on the link, it brought up a page that was already playing a song. I tried to pause it and couldn't. I had to look for the volume control instead?
I am a hyper paranoid person. If I don't check my phone, I think that someone might have messaged me. If my phone's notification light is blinking, I think of all the things it could be; the possibilities occupy 100% of my brain. I think -- what if mom just got hit by a bus? What if my doctor's calling me with test results? What if my sister's just found out she's having a baby?
These things are rarely the case. 90% of the time it's a spam e-mail or a note from a friend that doesn't need to be addressed right away. But I will still think about these things, and actively worry about them, until I read the message.
So it helps to put the phone away, somewhere where I can't see it, on silent so I can't hear it -- even still, I have to check it at frequent intervals, without a real pattern, because a random glint in the corner of my glasses will make me think "oh was that my phone? Wait, my phone's in the other room. I wonder if I have messages? Shit, what if someone's been trying to contact me?"
The solution is simple (but not necessarily easy): turn off ALL notifications and badges and vibrations, except for the actual telephone function (i.e. when people call you synchronously, a traditional phone call.) Disable all the rest entirely. No blinking, no vibrating, no numeric badges with little numbers quietly ticking up and up in the corner.
Then tell all your important friends and relatives and co-workers to just call you on the phone, a real traditional synchronous phone call, if something truly important happens.
> I don't know what part of the law it supposedly broke
I mean, that's a pretty important thing to know before forming an opinion on this matter.
In essence, the part of the contract that the judge is leaning on is that any manner of manipulation, by either party, invalidates the game and any winnings that came as a result of that game.
Buy: 300 LTC @ 241 = $72,300 + 1.49% fee ($1077) = $73,377 cost basis
Sell: 300 LTC @ 251 = $75,300 - 1.49% fee ($1122) = $74,178 gross
$74,178 - $73,377 = $801 net
and that's before accounting for taxes. What am I missing here?
