Not if you put your apple device passcodes into your password manager as well -- all those biometrics are just shortcuts to avoid having to enter your passcode constantly.

The linked article is literally where it came from — The Dictionary of Obscure Sorrows project coined it and some other words in an effort to describe an emotional state that was in need of a name.

(It’s ~8 years old at this point, just for the record.)

Resting heart rate is commonly tracked by wearables e.g. Apple Watch. Blood glucose can be self-monitored with the same tools diabetics use. Nutritional deficiencies can be measured with blood tests; WellnessFX was one of the early channels to get these but I believe Quest will let you self-order them now.

That's not surprising -- those companies are all using their attorneys for registered agent services, and the law firm states that they specialize in energy companies -- both transactions and litigation.

It appears that the developers of solar projects follow the same pattern of real-estate developers: each project gets its own LLC, which allows them to contain any potential liability for the project, as well as sell ownership interests in the LLC to raise the funds for the project.

Per your linked article (and easily confirmable through public records), the Jackpot* series are all projects of Robert Paul of Alternative Power Development who has been quoted in the Idaho press about solar for the last decade.

Sure, you're certainly not sending a full feed -- presumably you've got some algo sitting in Chicago that's looking for interesting / potentially profitable price / vol changes and sending them via the fast path, while the remainder of the feed is going via higher-bandwidth but slower paths.

Generally speaking, folks use the CME futures as a leading indicator, so you may have several different trading strategies that trade against the European markets and just use the CME pricing as one of their inputs. In that case, the most bandwidth-efficient play is to send your market data over once from Chicago, replicate it / make it available to all your trading strategies, and let them do their work locally.

I was an intern at Netscape in 1998 and I'm really glad to have been there to witness a bit of the history. The first staff meeting I attended was announcing layoffs, two weeks later they announced the open source initiative, then two months later the launch of Mozilla.org.

Code Rush touches on all the work that went into making the code buildable by folks outside, but one thing they omitted probably surprises no one: the sheer amount of profanity that had to be scrubbed from the source code before it was released. Some genius assembled a page of the choicest examples (much of it directed at Microsoft) and handed out hundreds of photocopies at the launch party.

Hell of a first job in tech.

If you're an accredited investor and willing to make it $25k instead of $10k, this is totally available right now on CrowdStreet and similar sites (although CS is the clear front-runner in quality and quantity of offerings).

Sponsors looking to raise equity to purchase a property pay a fee to list their projects on the site, CS does some amount of due diligence on both sponsor and project, and when you invest you're buying an equity stake in the entity that will actually purchase the property.

If you want "safeguards for bad times" you'll have to do your due diligence and dial your risk tolerances appropriately.

Related option for those who are less focused on the JSON API and instead want to make their datasets public and queryable: data.world added SQL support a little while back, joining the original SPARQL. One big advantage there is that folks can write queries that join your datasets to other open datasets on data.world.
