I don't think the original article was particularly pro-Wall Street. It was saying that Wall Street was changing, that it would shrink and there would be less money around. It attributed most of this to the Dodd-Frank act _but_ it didn't sa

I'm not a game developer, but I am assuming that if you iterate on gameplay too long you have less time/money to develop high fidelity art. Assumptions: * Lower poly models and lower res textures can be produced faster * Gameplay starts unb

Because politicians will largely enact policies which enable them to be re-elected. I don't know the specifics but I strongly suspect that coming out against the war on drugs will lose them more support than it would gain them. Support in t

I think I understand the author's point and repeated use of the term "stupidity" keeps the article on a theme and sounds somewhat nove. However, I think his point would be a lot clearer if he would stop using "stupidity" when he means "igno
