Nope it would not have worked. You see movie theater owners have to pay the movie owner a per viewer fee. So it is not merely about filling up empty seats. The entire "filling up empty seats" story relies on the misconception that

This wasn't a short. It was a long position that got burned. The article doesn't even mention if the exchange allows shorts. But good try.

"Because OKEx has a “socialized clawback” policy for such instances, it will force futures traders with unrealized gains this week to give up about 18 percent of their profits." "Clawbacks are unique to crypto markets" &

It has been just downright spiral for Scott Adams since that 2011 post. His blogs for the past couple of years have just been shameless non-stop pandering to Trump and pretending about how he "gets it" and truly understands Trump&

This is a very bad idea, because people will just throw out trash in the environment. It is a thousand times better to have trash thrown in a proper dump rather than on the street, in a back alley or in the wilderness. Most of the plastic t

That is not true. The FCC was enforcing net neutrality as an administrative rule long before that.

That is unlikely to happen. People in america value their property, and I doubt people would be happy if everyone was allowed to dig under your house or back yard or property. Access rules could be tweaked but any way you look at it connect

Yet another false argument against net neutrality. The problem that net neutrality seeks to address is certainly well understood, it already exists in many places around the world and the only reason it does not quite exist yet in the US is

Of course it is relevant. Genetic engineering can produce rather different and unpredictable results.

People keep saying that "the stigma surrounding mental illness keeps many with depression from seeking treatment". This is probably true for a lot of people but it is very unlikely for Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain. They were bo

They should change their name to Western Bulgaria. It will be more accurate and Bulgarians won't mind.

I think the side consultancy businesses are a big problem. Accounting firms should be banned from providing any services other than accounting. This is currently the case in the US for law firms and it is widely accepted that this rule limi

They say that in ancient roman times during a triumph there would be a slave that follows the triumphant general whispering to him "remember you are mortal". They should have a congressional page follow Orin Hatch whispering in hi

There are bigger problems in the system hidden here. Just because a drug is off patent, does not means anybody can make it. Each potential manufacturer has to still request and receive permission from the FDA to produce the drug. If you are

Insurance premiums have been going up long before the ACA was passed into law.

This kind of thinking is wrong, stupid and dangerous. Yes we still pay $750. If someone's insurance pays $750 for a pill then all the people on that policy will end up paying it. This is true whether these people use one of the ACA ins

Don't be too demoralized. With crimes as with legal business stories you only tend to hear about the large successes. It is nice to think that if only your morals weren't as strong you could be a criminal multimillionaire, but it

Steven King got to write the screenplay for his own version of the shining in the form of a TV miniseries. It was so bad it was actually funny instead of being scary. I think it is safe to say here that history has proven Kubrick right on t

It won't be on your phone by 2020. It is not clear whether it will ever be on your phone. The iphone 8 has about 3 million subpixels which will all have to be individually cut, tested and assembled on a display for a microled to work.

That is a heartening example of good journalism. But nevertheless, there is one thing that I did not like with the way Ms Gold handled the story. She had an idea in mind of what kind of story she was going to write, and when reality did not

For those of you in Los Angeles you can see some of those tiny staircases in the wonderful weird museum of jurassic technology. The tiny staircases are displayed on the wall of one of the museums actual staircases.

Well, tell me why I wouldn't believe it. I don't have an hour to spare. I lived in a communist dictatorship when I was young and pollution was definitely worse than the democratic country I migrated to. And while the general votin

Then again if they had a democratic government it is very unlikely they would get in the present state of pollution to begin with.

"Material inputs" seems to be yet another misleading statistics intended to sell nuclear. I would completely ignore it. The nuclear industry has been trying to convince us that nuclear energy is cheap, but this is becoming a very

Pretty good article although, it is still very soft on Saudi Arabia and too intent to glamorize bin Salman. But american media has always been intent on glamorizing bin Salman. What really pisses me off about this whole story is the role Tr

There is a connection. Global warming is part of the reason. Obviously in the beginning the largest initial problems are going to be for cities that have other reasons for sinking in addition to global warming. But global warming is part of

If they treated a product just the way they would have treated it in real life I probably would not be upset. But that is usually not the case. Companies that pay money usually require special treatment. If you are lucky, it would be the ca

Sounds great but the sad reality is that Netflix shows have commercials inside of them. I was really excited about this netflix show "love" until the macdonalds product placement inside of it just made me sick and i stopped watchi
