At least according to some past journalism about him he's a genius. An evil genius, but a genius nonetheless. This isn't about shorting stocks. It's about aggressive price discovery. He went up to an unreasonable price of $75

I get what you're saying but that doesn't answer why a hybrid model isn't more common than it is. Show me ads to monetize my free consumption of your service, but if I'm willing to pay (as many definitely are), allow m

Couldn't this be seen as a kind of motor cognition ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motor_cognition )? Isn't this essentially what motor cognition does when we write? Perhaps this is more low-level than that, bu

The fact that you didn't have to buy insurance until 26 is a result of Obamacare too. Think of all the money you saved being on that insurance for several extra years. You're welcome! And maybe in part because you're spending

Yes. When I say "us" and "Israel" I'm referring to politicians who make up the leadership of both countries, and therefore are in the position to make decisions on behalf of both countries. I do not mean to generali
