   I'm afraid that you might need to validate this idea before jumping in and spending a lot of time and money on it. The problem is people who fall for and spread fake news don't want to be told it's fake news, they just want t

   I remember when I heard that Trump had won, in contrast to what all the media sources "knew" about the outcome before. My first thought was, "Wonder what the narrative would be on this one. I smell a bull market for scapegoat

    > The result is that reddit expels it's undesirable members without anything so controversial as banning them. Except for the part where the CEO personally edited user's posts to say things they didn't say? Yes. Genius. No

    I've heard this argument but from the small sample of brits I know(I'm South African), those who voted Leave are highly educated. Two MBAs and an actuary. This trend seems to influenced by something other than "intelligence&q

    Ha, another one. I'd do the same! Except for the travel part, I'm too broke for that. Perfect for a samana, I guess.

    I don't see it that way exactly. R&D is an investment. Hell, I'd consider calling it a pure capital investment, if not simply enhancing goodwill. If even one of those moonshots become successful those "sunk costs" wi
