> I can not believe people think they have the prerogative to stop other people from reclining. It is intended functionality and we have certainly paid for that.

Well I guess that is the question: What did we pay for?

Did we pay for comfort? Reclining does seem to offer that.

Did we pay for discomfort? Not reclining may be a cause of mild discomfort. Who would pay for that?

Did we pay for actual physical pain and significant discomfort? Hell no, but if you are tall and the person in front does recline then this is a reality.

I can't believe people think that have the prerogative to cause other people actual pain. I'm really not convinced you or I paid for that.
you are reading slightly too much into it.

1. please realize that this is an open source project, so every single line of text or code can be changed to your liking. (not to mention that these are simply sample questions, and any end-user can edit them to be as complex or simple as they like).
I can just as well ask your feeling about sky-diving and judge your risk tolerance based on that.

2. You have to understand the target audience. Today RIA's can pay lots of money to schwabs, fidelities, etc. Which have significant vendor lock-in and high up-front and maintenance costs, with open source RIA's have a choice they can build out a solution custom tailored to their needs using our platform. They are not locked into any specific security or cost basis. They can compete with robo-advisors without spending millions or hundreds of thousands on technology.
(btw, wanna build anther robo advisor, run many firms as SaaS or build an app like Acorns? .. you can do that too).

3. Finally you can try a portfolio consisting of S&P 500 only, another Vanguard LifeStrategy only, and something more complex... just for shits and giggles see whether you can do better or not.
(Wanna test a portfolio that is rebalanced vs non-rebalanced? You can do that.)

our platform is open-source alternative to costly closed-sourced solutions (this is not a new market, we are just giving users another choice)... like there are 100's of shopping carts out there, it's time for fintech to embrace some projects which cater to the masses, not only select few.
I travel from time to time in Europe, and some airlines don't allow passengers to recline their seats (even though the seats are not fixed).
Uuups, my bad.

Likewise. I'm 2.04m and I never recline without asking.

I flew hundreds of times in EU, between different countries and using different airlines,and I have never ever been on a plane with reclining seats. It's mostly Airbuses A319/320 and Boeings 737-300 that I flew in, and none of them had adjustable seats.
yeah, it would be nice, but then they can close their surveillance agencies for good. a bit of hyperbole but let me try here - most american don't give a damn about rest of the world, do they (now this assumption is begging to be proven wrong)
Same here :)
I can handle 2 hours more less with no space (easy Jet for example), but anything more and my knees start to hurt.

I also think its incredible rude to recline, especially forcefully, like some people have done to me.

I think that these egomaniac people are the same that get to the end of an escalator and stop to see where they should go, or exiting a train and doing the same thing blocking the exit / entrance to anyone else.
This isn't entirely accurate. Or rather, it is accurate as far as it goes, but doesn't tell the whole story.

Training a neural network uses a lot of computational power. From memory I think training the Android voice recognition was weeks of training on Google's GPU cluster ([1] talks about 95 hours for partial training, but I don't think that's the production system).

However, once the network is trained it doesn't use much power at all. The trained network can run a mobile phone, and it doesn't even drain the batteries much.

I can't believe so many people see reclining as rude, it's the design of the seats. If the person in front of you reclines, recline your own seat.

Not sure how profitable GitHub is, but there are users paying for private repositories or for the Enterprise version and the revenues thus far seem to be enough to support the free users as well and to an outsider like me being a win-win situation, since GitHub is now the place to be on, with open-source projects giving them free exposure, with the Enterprise version starting to win against other established solutions because "everybody knows GitHub". I used to be a paying customer of GitHub, now I'm enjoying the free benefits and pushing for the Enterprise edition in my organization. Am I the product in this case?

I do hate the "free to play (with gouging IAPs)" model and I actually prefer ads with an option to go ad-free. However even with this business model there are heroes. See for example Path of Exile, a free game in which the in-app purchases do not have an impact on your ability to win: https://www.pathofexile.com/

I do agree with you, the chosen business model makes the difference. I do believe that ads aren't inherently evil, it's just the status quo that is. Yes, today ad-supported means that we are the product, but this product has a free will, a fact that some companies are forgetting. At the very least there are some signs of change. Google for example is at least trying to play it both ways - you can be a paying customer of Google Apps and they'll introduce subscriptions to YouTube for going ads free (with the ability to cache content for offline viewing on mobile devices being the incentive needed for regular folks).
c'mon, be fair, it's just defending the interests of those really influential in US (sadly, president doesn't seem to be part of that group). and we all know best defense is an attack, right?
That's true, they just cited someone else who were less careful: http://interfraud.org/ni_british_connection.htm

But even the source is incorrect. For registered address services you do have to verify company details.

It is only for generic mail forwarding services that you do not have to verify company details.

The difference being that the former is required to help disambiguate mail address to company officials from official government offices, and to ensure successful routing of mail to the correct person (failure to deliver mail from HMRC can result in substantial fines which would be a liability for Companies Made Simple).

The latter is no different from any mail box or mail forwarding service.

It seems that the anti-fraud organisation cited hasn't actually used the service and is unaware of the difference in proof required by them.
In my case, on the last flight I was on, when sitting bolt upgright and with my butt as far back in my seat as possible, there was maybe an inch between my knees and the seat in front of me. The tray table didn't come all the way down either.

Its not a case of thinking I have some sort of privilege that would be infringed by the person in front of me reclining their seat - it simply didn't work. the seat in front of me reclined ~ 1/3rd of its normal distance before hitting my knees, and there was no way to get my knees out of the way. In that case I apologise to the elderly gentleman in the seat in-front, and after he glanced at my knees he (very considerately) concurred that getting the full recline out of his seat was 'unlikely to work'.

Sometimes I try to pay extra and reserve an exit row seat, sometimes they aren't available. The last time I got one I ended up wedged between a rugby player and an obese person for ~12 hours, It's not always an improvement, nor is it necessarily cheap.

And like the poster somewhere up-thread, I don't like being a hypocrite, I try to recline my own seat as little as possible.
Maybe you should just accept that using a laptop in economy is crazy to begin with. Read a book, use a tablet, enjoy the crappy in-flight, talk to your neighbour, or have snooze instead.

The space you pay for is your seat plus space gained from reclining your seat minus space lost from person in front of you reclining.

Why would you think otherwise? If you can't fit in the space designed then pay for a seat with more leg room or try suing.
> After the first shock of seeing iCloud passwords stored in clear text(how hard would it be to encrypt them?)

Not going to defend shady businesses, but I dislike this knee jerk reaction without understanding the actual issue. I've seen software that encrypts (encrypts, not hashes) passwords for security™, but stores the secret in the database, too. Sure, technically they didn't store plaintext passwords, but practically they did.

What you could do to defend the passwords:

* hash them - doesn't work in this case, because it's not an authentication system

* symmetrically encrypt them - useless, the secret would be stored on the compromised server

* asymmetrically encrypt them - works, assuming the private key isn't stored on the server. Therefore, it's not possible to decrypt the passwords from within the application again
What you call "blunt truth" I call weak-willed, knee-jerk tantrums. I guess it's a matter of perspective.

Unfortunately it's the airlines that create the potential for this flare-up to begin with. Every time I get on a flight I swear the seat in front of me is 1" closer to my knees. I try to fly Southwest as often as I can domestically, because they have the most leg room that I've found (and I can only afford economy).
I like the home button.
Yesterday a car carrying sixteen people crashed into empty car that got stuck midway, severely injuring four.

The roller coaster opened two years ago Has been plague by technical difficulties and downtime since. They have already fired an operator, but you have to ask how much of this was human error and how much was system failure.

A find it amazing that this was allowed to happen. Sending an empty car around the track when they start up is standard practice, they shouldn't be able release another until the test car has returned. Also, why were two cars allowed to enter the same section of track?
Right. Just like Jobs last words. Some sort of "exclamation" term.

The weather, possibly (although again, it's not much use unless Google know enough to target the local weather at you). The how long to get there, not so much. One of the key things they use is info on where everyone else is. This is a classic case of pooling everyone's data in order to add value.

The one in front reclines, putting the one behind in more discomfort. They are prioritising their own comfort over the person behind.

There's little need to posit a theoretical. Look to Wolfenstein 3D, which had several changes. The Red Cross objected to the use of a red cross for the health packs, so later releases used a red heart. Germany objected to the use of Nazi symbols, the dogs replaced with giant rats, etc.

I'm not following either.

If such interactions happen in the "open", facebook is then encrypting information relating to such "open" interactions, so that people already familiar with things like pgp/gpg (of which, I assume who also know what email headers are) can know that such "open" interactions came from facebook and that such information regarding "open" interactions was not modified in transit?

I guess "completely out in the open" means different things to different people…
The most useful things I get from Now are travel info (mostly comes from email/calendar), sports scores (I have to set these up manually), flights details (again from email), deliveries (again email). So they can do quite a lot with just email and calendar access. If you use iCloud they already have these things and don't sell ads against them so you can get some of the functionality (imo the best parts) without tracking. What parts of Now do you think they couldn't do without heavy tracking?

The problem is you, like an overweight person, think that you can get by with an economy ticket. I feel bad for your knees, but I'm reclining because I paid for the ability to recline even if it's only a few inches. If you are uncomfortable in your seat, fly a different airline or upgrade.

I fly a lot within Europe (granted, with a limited selection of airlines) since 2006 and never noticed a decline of space during this time.

Except for the super discount carriers (I rarely fly Easy Jet and never flew Ryanair, so I can't really comment on that) the seat pitch seems around 31" in economy for most flights I ever took.

This is about what most airlines offer on long haul flights (in cattle class) and is certainly tolerable for short hops of less than two hours.

> Read a book, use a tablet, enjoy the crappy in-flight

The reclined seat in front reduces the space between the eyes and book so it becomes a little blurry, Ok for an hour, but causes a headache after 10. Ditto the tablet and movie screen. If you recline to compensate, it hurts the back because non-reclined with the pillow inserted between back and seat is really the only comfortable way to spend an entire flight.
Do you also consider it essential to put your belongings under the seats adjacent to you?

I would have more sympathy for your position if I thought it was likely that you investigated the knee room and reclining policy prior to purchasing a ticket.

The claims are that it is all about safety and fairness and blah blah blah. Does anybody saying this honestly believe that 7 footers just wing it? Why should the world be different for the 6'2" than for the 7'1"?

This is exactly what Etoro does. Etoro has many problems though. To name a few:

- Many traders will keep losing trades open indefinitely and only close their winning trades. This way they get a 100% success rate because all their realized trades were profitable. This also leads to huge realized profit percentages while the total value of their portfolio was just decreasing because of the losing trades.

- You start copying them later, so you won't get all their trades. This means that your available balance percentage will be different than theirs, resulting in strange behavior when they up their stop loss with additional funds, whereas you don't have any additional funds left. This also happens when they of you withdraw/deposit funds.
