Looking for a brokerage with functional, individual API access to, at least, account positions, balances, and equity/fund/bond prices. Used to be happy with TDA, but they got bought by Scwab, whose API has been “pending” for six months.
Yes but I’ve read that Schwab will have its own API. I read that within the last two months. I’ve also been told as much by a rep, with disclaimers of course. That was a year ago.
Either way, I expect schwab to have an API. Why else buy TD?
Interactive Brokers is also my next choice. Although, beware that you have to install Java runtime from Oracle in order to be able to log in to they servers. Java runtime environment has seen many beaches of security in the past, particularly the Internet was still in adolescence. Oracle claims to have solved those but this needs to be verified.
I’m waiting for Schwab mainly because, as it turns out, there is magic there. Namely, our assets are protected from online fraud. I’m sure there are limits to that protection. And that protection has applied to their normal online accounts. Will it apply to API accounts? We will have to reread the fine print when it’s final.
The community can only read the source code, as of yet. All of the source code has been provided by a set of internal developers.
The fact that it is open source means that, if somehow two malware elements have made it into the source code, then someone will eventually report it. But this doesn’t mean that two malware elements cannot be there right now.
These two malware hits on total virus scan should be communicated to the developers.
Clients like Thunderbird are great because you have everything stored locally so you can easily search offline. They also support encrypting and decrypting emails in PGP. However, they seem to have the same limitation as protonmail where you can’t search through encrypted emails....
I’ve been wanting to move away from Dropbox for a long while, but I haven’t been able to find a suitable replacement. Dropbox has always been super convenient and has just worked for me....
Let’s say I have a favorite sport and there exists a sub_ named: r/.
Let’s also say there already exits a Lemmy community and that community is struggling to get off the ground: !@lemmy.world
I can see a value add if your project directly helps !@lemmy.world get started; but I don’t see how it does. If anything wouldn’t your project compete with !@lemmy.world and therefore hinder it?
It might be different if your project directly tied r/ to !@lemmy.world but it doesn’t.
I like a lot of the communities on that instance, but every once in a while I just get hit with a random wave of toxicity by them for no reason. For example, there was a post asking which communities from Reddit do you wish existed on Lemmy, and I answered honestly saying more car related communities as they are one of my...
If downvotes are the issue, beehaw.org doesn’t allow downvotes. Those folks are automatically eliminated from that. You can then just ignore the comments you don’t like and it’s all good. 👍
As the title mentions, the company I work at is offering free shares when buying back some of the company’s shares, as well as a discount, depending on the amount of shares purchased....
Take the free ones. Ignore the discounted ones, don’t buy them.
There is too much concentration in your livelihood when you invest in your employer. For example, and I know too many examples of this, if your employer starts doing badly, you can not only lose your job, but they might move out of town leaving your home in a state where you may need to sell it in a depressed market. Often the shares you would have invested in the company are worth too little to sell. Your assets, your job, your home, all take a hit at the same crazy time. Not worth it.
Instead, invest in broad-market index funds. Go to Bogleheads where they discuss this and ask there.If you like momentum, arguably the greatest investor that has ever lived, Warren Buffett recommends a split between 90% SPY or IVV (S&P500) and 10% cash. The S&P500 is something like a momentum fund of the top winners of the US economy, and constantly changing.
Your employer is only trying to tie you down and have real skin in the game so that you’ll work harder. Ignore the tendency.
Testing feedback: There appears to be a missing feature. When a post includes a gallery of images, no thumbs or images are shown as a preview. Only an empty gray box is displayed.
Thanks for the replies. So I guess USENET had/has an advantage here, as all USENET servers replicate “all” newsgroups automatically. To the extent that one server exists, the newsgroup lives on regardless of its origination point. In that sense, the collective work of all contributors is not lost until the retention date passes.
The ActivityPub proposal mentioned by @chris seems to be a good enough equivalent, at least for communities that are shared.

Anytype as an alternative to Notion or Obsidian
Stumbled on this program called Anytype a while ago, a note-taking application similar to Notion. It’s surprisingly well polished and works for me....
Why Not Store Encrypted Emails in Plaintext Locally?
