Can you possibly link modafinil? I tried looking around the site and couldn't find it through the product list. Perhaps I am navigating wrong, as is common. Also, what didn't you like about adrafinil?

Some places do that, and they're generally not places you'd like to work for. Places that cold-call will do bulk hirings with the expectation that most people will leave. A lot of the time these arrangements allow employers to force a lot o

Exactly - if you need proof that equity of tech companies is a different investment than equity of staid, ordinary companies, look at the capital structure of successful tech companies. Google, Microsoft, Nvidia, Apple...No Debt. The existe

And as I think about it, the reason for that might actually be that portfolio turnover mitigates concentration risk if it is not excessive.

> Another would be to give some government commission the power to look at those tweaks. This is probably a good move. Why don't we give government regulators oversight of google, because as we've seen with the SEC and the Minerals Mana

Seems pretty intuitive right? I wish I could take credit for it...my dad suggested it.

Sadly "that" likely describes far more than HFT. I've been wondering for a while if performance was inversely correlated with portfolio turnover in actively managed portfolios. Without having proved it out, I am almost certain it is.

IMO it is way easier to eat healthy in NYC than in any other place on the planet (and i've been to several). NYC is technically not "America" though, so i'm not sure if I've raised a point of contention or simply bragged about how my city i

I find that writing jokes is a great way to show girls that I am not a superior mating candidate.

Thanks for the tl:dr there. I was kind of hoping for a conclusion beyond "IDK."

What I'd like to know is: when did asking students to perform tasks easy to cheat on become ok? I find cheating reprehensible and am a conscientious objector, but when professors and teachers gave me busywork I came up with my own solution.

I wish I had that kind of flexible work schedule.

It probably would in Arizona, but anywhere else it would just be a sensationalized Fox News headline: 'Internet hackers organize illegals to take american jobs.'

This is an excellent reason why all published works should include a diverse collection of very ephemeral metadata.

If you'd like to sock away a bunch of extra tax-deferred cash, variable annuities (low cost ones from vanguard/tiaa-cref) can be OK options....Assuming you're genuinely saving for retirement at 65, the present value of a tax deferral over t

I wonder: Is Amazon now trying to compete with Fedex? What's the benefit to them of building out a shipping network on top of their distribution network? I'm sure there's some margin that could be potentially captured - and it might be neat

What do you guys think this means for the company? Would firing Steve Ballmer do anything for their feudal management structure? This is a company with billions in cash, smart employees and profitable projects. It's sad that they can't get

Whither Research in Motion? It seems to me like Blackberry Messenger is the only thing keeping that company alive from a consumer perspective. I hear all the time "I would buy an I phone, but I love BBM so much!"

Do you have a source on that? I'm sure this is a "lmgtfy" kind of thing, but I'm not an app developer so I'm not sure the particular jargon to Google.

Has there been a good writeup of what HFT "Is" at any point? What is your impression of them as a pernicious/positive force? Are they essentially market making? This is the kind of stuff I really should have an opinion about, but I haven't

Thanks for you response - I didn't think about that at all. Unfortunately most textbook purchasers don't have the ability to "avoid" bad texts.... I wonder if there were a way to rewire the textbook market so that teachers assigned differen
