   Losing your job over a faulty signal sounds like some serious bullshit. I hope they sued.

   I know very little about which metrics to look at but this seems like an even more wrong metric to go by. What does number of app reviews prove other than that the app is good at pushing people to review it?

   I make several trips to Detroit each year (entirely music related) and after every visit the voice in my head that says "move to Detroit" get's louder and louder. The place is definitely still having a rough time but it feels

   For what it's worth WP Engine didn't raise "hundreds of millions of dollars." Their most recent round was a PE deal that resulted in the investor taking a controlling interest in the company. Most of the $250 million fig

   I think it has always been a matter of who's talking and what do they think want you to think about the issuance. If it's your investment advisor and they want you to buy it's High Yield. If it's a reporter who thinks th

   Same exact thing for me. I know three people with the same area code as my number: my wife, brother, and step mother. Their numbers are all in my phone. Any other number is spam and I ignore it. I haven't been wrong yet either.

   I'll answer this as a long time ecstasy user. Pill producers make their pills in a variety of shapes and colors and for them it's mostly about marketing. When I was in high school "rolexes" and "supermans" were

   $660 million across 32,000 people is over 20 grand per person. That seemed a little crazy to me.

    And a lot of developers just don't have an eye for it at all. I can look at a UI all day and tell that something is off but I couldn't even begin to tell you what or how to fix it. It doesn't mean I don't care.

    Which part is illegal? The historic artifact bit or the Nazi bit? It seems weird to have so many resources dedicated to tracking down someone collecting hour glasses and statues.

    How many people who trade options actually call up the shares at the end or vice versa? I'd imagine very few and even fewer on Robinhood's platform. I think a level of abstraction that clarifies things is fine.

    This guy is such bad news. Even though I'm pretty anti-Trump I had thought for a while that one good thing about him is that he appeared to reject the Bush era neo con stuff. That even though we wouldn't have a democrat in office

    This definition of a hacker doesn't sit well with me. When I was a kid I hacked on things I didn't understand for a long time in order to get a better understanding. Was I not hacking? What I not a hacker then? I've never rea

    I've been writing Elixir at work for the last 5 months and learned in that time that Elixir has DBs built in as well. ETS is a key value store and Mnesia (lol) is a bit more like a traditional db (I haven't actually used Mnesia ye

    Does the SEC have a line item in its budget for whistleblower awards? If so what do they do if there are a lot of cases to pay out? Can they run out of money for these things? I'd love to know what that process looks like.

    I think people don't like counting it because of the way it was achieved. IIRC they only floated a super tiny percentage of their stock and so the overall valuation was inflated. It felt then a little the way cryptocurrency market capi

    I listen to a podcast called OnTheMedia and they had an episode recently that talked a bit about the politics behind Google Maps. Basically it was about how GM draws borders and names locations in disputed areas (Palestine, Crimea, Kashmir,

    Being any amount of accusatory is counterproductive when you want someone to honestly answer a question in any context.

    I'm almost certain there was a guy on r/CryptoMarkets (or one of those crypto currency subs) who this happened to. He apparently traded a few bitcoin up to a few hundred in 2017. Then closed out his positions near the end of the y
