- Since 2016 Intuit/Quicken has changed ownership
and switched to a subscription model (cloud-based service).
- I viewed it as a forced upgrade. It
didn’t force me, because I had discontinued online access.
Quicken, of course, is no longer an Intuit product. Game over.
- If you disable auto-renewal. Quicken.com gets in
your face about this. Annual renewal is very expensive.
- As long as I don’t need any connected services or
support, I can continue to use the software indefinitely, or as long as
it works.
- The most recent edition of Quicken is
substantially the same as it was ten years ago. Except for some new
icons and some background colors here and there, the new version seems
identical.
- Quicken update nag - Quicken Account Login Prompt

- To disable the registration prompt, launch
Quicken, then go to the Tools menu, hold Left Shift + Left Control, and
click One Step Update. You should then see a notification saying you
won’t be prompted to register again. - This doesn't help at all if the
login screen for QuickenID doesn't allow you to log into your
local account.
- Solution - Temporary? - When you
get the login screen asking for your Quicken ID password (for an online
Quicken account you may not have), select the File menu (top left
corner of the window), open the QDF file on your computer.

- Break-Even Analysis = BEA
- The break-even analysis establishes a relationship between
revenues and costs with respect to volume.
It indicates the level of sales at which costs and revenues are in
equilibrium.
The equilibrium point is commonly known as the break-even point.
The breakeven point is that point of sales volume at which total
revenue is equal to total costs. It is a no-profit, no-loss point.

a Break Even Chart in Excel: Step-by-Step Instructions
- video
- Formula for BEA calculations
- x = f / (p - v)
- x = BEQ = Break-even quantity = the number of
units
- f = FC = Total fixed costs
- v = VC = Variable costs per unit
- p = Average price per unit
- px = vx + f + Profit
- At the BE point, Profit = 0, so Profit can be
eliminated from the equation.
- px = vx+f
- px-vx = f
- x(p-v) = f
- x = f/(p-v) = ( f / Contribution
margin ) = (FC / (p - VC))
- Warning!
- Revenues ≠
Profit
- Revenue = Sales = income that a business has from
its normal business activities
- Profit = R - E = Sales - (Fixed costs + COGS) =
Earnings
- EBIT = Earnings before interest and taxes
- EBITDA = earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, and amortization
- Price
≠ Cost
- Price is what a buyer pays to acquire products from
a seller.
- Cost of production concerns the seller's investment
(e.g., manufacturing expense) in the product being exchanged with a
buyer.
- Contribution
margin = Unit Revenue (Price, P) minus Unit Variable Cost (V)
= Price - Cost

- Scale
AI CEO explains why his company will hire for MEI, not DEI: 'Merit,
excellence and intelligence' | Fox Business - 2024-06-24
- "We do not unfairly stereotype, tokenize, or otherwise
treat anyone as a member of a demographic group rather than as an
individual. We believe that people should be judged by the content of
their character — and, as colleagues, be additionally judged by their
talent, skills, and work ethic. That means we hire only the best person
for the job, we seek out and demand excellence, and we unapologetically
prefer people who are very smart. There is a mistaken belief that
meritocracy somehow conflicts with diversity. I strongly
disagree." - Alexandr

communication gaps are inherent to any company culture, it is more
important than ever for management to be aware of and possess good
communication skills.

- Satisfice
- The term was introduced by Herbert A. Simon in his Models
of Man 1957
- Satisfice (= satisfactory & sufficient) vs.
Maximize (= perfect)
- To obtain an outcome that is good enough. Satisficing
action can be contrasted with maximising action, which seeks the
biggest, or with optimising action, which seeks the best. In recent
decades doubts have arisen about the view that in all rational
decision-making the agent seeks the best result. Instead, it is argued,
it is often rational to seek to satisfice i.e. to get a good result
that is good enough although not necessarily the best.
- Humans usually select the first reasonable option (a
strategy known as "satisficing" - a cross between "satisfying"
and "sufficing"). We hardly ever select the best option from all
available options. Our brain just can't be bothered to think all the
time. Why Do We Satisfice? We satisfice because we want to reach our
goal with minimum wasted effort and time. There is little upside to
spending time and effort to find the best option. If we make the wrong
choice, which happens all the time, we can simply click the "Back"
button on the browser and try again. - (source?)
- The optimum choice is the one that provides the best
balance between profit opportunities and the risks and costs of
failure.

can beat the stock market, new research suggests | Fortune
- Underperforming stocks are removed (deleted) from the
market (S&P 500) and replaced. The replacement date may be
announced a month before the required trading date for the ETF (see
also exchange traded fund, index fund, equity fund, index tracker,
mutual fund, etc.). The trading opportunity is obvious: Buy the
outgoing stock, which has been pounded down, and sell the incoming
stock, which has been pushed to the sky, on the big day before the
switch becomes effective. Alternatively, just buying the outgoing stock
(at the closing price on the day it's removed from the index) works
great, on average. On average, this outgoing stock will beat the market
by an average of nearly 20% over the following 12 months.

- Arbitration
- Arbitration
- Wikipedia
* Arbitration can be either voluntary or mandatory
(although mandatory arbitration can only come from a statute or from a
contract that is voluntarily entered into, where the parties agree to
hold all existing or future disputes to arbitration, without
necessarily knowing, specifically, what disputes will ever occur) and
can be either binding or non-binding. Non-binding
arbitration is similar to mediation in that a decision can not be
imposed on the parties. However, the principal distinction is that
whereas a mediator will try to help the parties find a middle ground on
which to compromise, the (non-binding) arbitrator remains totally
removed from the settlement process and will only give a determination
of liability and, if appropriate, an indication of the quantum of
damages payable. By one definition arbitration is binding and
so non-binding arbitration is technically not arbitration.
* Arbitration is a proceeding in which a dispute is resolved by an
impartial adjudicator whose decision the parties to the dispute have
agreed, or legislation has decreed, will be final and binding. There
are limited rights of review and appeal of arbitration awards.
* Arbitration is not the same as:
- Mediation
- Mediation
- Wikipedia
- Conflict resolution through private and voluntary means,
a channel that encourages the parties to be active and central
participants in the resolution of their own conflict.
- private dispute resolution
- negotiation between the parties (often assisted by
counsel)
- negotiation facilitated by a trained mediator
- adjudication by a private arbitrator
- Mediation, which usually takes a day or two, is certainly
much faster (and cheaper) than court proceedings.
- The mediation route allows for a direct engagement
that is not possible in a court proceeding.

- They fidget nervously. They touch their nose, they pull
an ear. It's like a "tell" for a poker player.
- They talk real fast. You almost can't understand what
they're saying. It's like they don't really want you to hear them.
- They try to change the subject. It's an attempt to
deflect your attention.
- They repeat the question when you know they've heard It
loud and clear. "Wait a minute. Let me get this straight. You're
seriously asking me .. !' It's a stalling tactic as they try to come up
with a convincing response.
- They won't look you In the eye. Or else they will. It
helps if you know how the person usually behaves. If they ordinarily
look you in the eye but suddenly don't, they're probably not giving you
the whole truth. And vice versa.
