What is the recommended way to add support for additional functional themes to support users like colour vision friendly, high contrast for poor vision, daylight mode, and night vision preserving (no blue channel) - rather than just light/dark?

Thanks! I was figuring this out just now as well thanks.

The analysis is flawed if it doesn't include this as the gains they describe seem essentially unrealisable.

So is the real issue that maybe someone has immediate settlement when the rest don't?

Could you please explain this complexity? ELI5 even?

You never settle the trades? Dividends etc?

Hmm maybe I am 5...

Edit: ok yep so I guess what if they repeated the analysis leaving some time around open/close for chance of trades to settle, would the effect disappear or would this chance beef the key factor for the reported gain?

Don't goog collect either way?

You get presented an ad:

- click and advertiser gets charged

- don't click and the ad word cost goes up so advertiser pays more to present the ad next time (because click through rate went down)

I always thought it was an amazing scheme, collect both ways.

Or did I get it wrong? Was ages ago when I looked at it.

I don't click either...

often when someone says "feel like" they mean "think that" - ie its not feelings per se.

Like print, if you have a lisp.

If you were to use this, would you really want to give all your detailed financial information to someone else? Who else do you give that info to? So desktop definitely good idea.
