Dubai isn't a very good example. If anything, it just serves as a example of the ignorance of the comments you were reading. By the time Reddit came into existence, Dubai already had an impressive skyline and had been well established

$150 million is way too low today. Nearly every small acquirable company will meet that threshold. I do think that a limit could possibly be set though for companies with significant market share in the same sector. The Sprint acquisitio

What I am saying is that going to the office is not up to you nor myself. If a company decides that it is better for the company, then that company may reason that they should mandate in office work, as I mentioned in the first sentence of

I'd heard that the Medallion fund was closed off, so I wasn't really sure of the reasoning behind that continuing fee structure, but that line of speculation does make some sense.

Their returns worked out to something like an average of 39% per year after fees, which is the figure I've heard cited. This may be what they were thinking of. Renaissance was/is known for having higher fees than likely the enti

There is no such thing as bad publicity when you are not yet established. When you are already a recognized and popular brand, such as Apple or AB InBev, it can hurt revenue, such as how AB InBev suffered from lower revenue following their

One can make any sort of outlandish claim, but there's little point in giving undue attention to entirely baseless speculation.

The urban-suburban sprawl situation in the US, which is the focus of this article, is far removed from the EU. Metropolitan areas in the US are characterized by having hundreds of kilometers of inefficient low density suburbia. In the US,

The yield rates for the Ivy League schools are all over 60%. If they admit too many students, and their yield rate is unusually high one year, then they have the right to rescind admission of students, even if the students have already comm

They do claim to use an independent Teclis index, but this cannot be where most of their non-news results come from as it is not a general index. From the information available on Teclis, it has a very limited index and currently is strictl

Did you feel that way about Anthem or Seveneves? With Anthem, I felt like he had just finished laying the groundwork for an impressive feat of unique world building, which felt a shame to abandon at the end of the book, even though I enjoy

This is what really threw me. In the book, Kovacs was hired because he had been a highly-trained UN envoy. It made little sense for him to be hired as a known terrorist. I wasn't much of a fan of any of the terrorist cell background,
