• Friday

    • Private work.
    • Soft dollars = commission fees paid for research/services via a brokerage firm, rather than direct (hard dollars). Often used to inconspicuously.
    • Played with multiple chrome profiles for my diff accounts, rather than consistent bookmarks/passwords/themes.
    • Desktop signal app.
    • Ever since installing copilot on mobile, it’s now incorrectly launching that to open links. If you click again, it takes to the right app/location. Googled, couldn’t find anything. Will debug further if it continues to be an annoyance.
    • Have unsubscribed to Hive and still receiving trash email.
    • Did MOST gpassword cleanup. Updated chrome theme, extensions, profiles, more.
    • Updated vscode. Updated windows.
    • Home, and to add to 2024 taxes:
      • Bonus depreciation. Write off a large purchase at day 1, rather than depreciating its value over time (regular depreciation, no bonus).
      • STR loophole. Short-term-rental investment properties actually qualify for this (even though they almost always appreciate). You can deduct the entire cost of the home to offset rental income for the year (or w2, or other).
      • The process of valuating/deducting the bonus depreciation is called Cost Segregation. Usually costs a couple thousand to outsource.
    • Python 3.13 with a JIT!
    • Binary search.
    • Minnows -> Dolphins -> Whales. Used in gaming (for spend), but also in asset holdings.
    • Some general research.
    • Submitted verizon class action.
