I would never invest in one of these companies. It seems like the ultimate bad business -- the difficulty will keep increasing while the payout will keep decreasing until it all ends some time in the non-too-distant future.

I do not buy that all. They say that streetcars were on their way out anyway because buses were more efficient. There is a significant hole in this reasoning because: (a) GM is not in the business of owning street car lines; (b) GM spent co

This still does not make it better than VP8. Yes CISCO will release a binary for most platforms but not all. They can snub platforms because of lack of resources or for strategic reasons. Furthermore, CISCO has not committed to keep paying

Since I am a little lazy, can someone explain to me why this service is necessary. Does apple not allow musicians to upload their music to itunes?

Wait, are you saying that there are now street bitcoin traders? This reminds of communist times when the government limited foreign currency trading. There was a specific coffee house where you could go and illicitly trade foreign currency.

Capital expenses do not affect profits for the reporting period they happen in. It is true that after that reporting period there is a depreciation cost applied to take account of loss of value of an asset. For example, if a company buys a

There are some issues with this explanation. The main issue is that the rules of accounting have a very good provision to take into account investing into the future. It is called capitalization. Thus, if a company spends money to build or

I think these will probably get floated somewhere within the bay, and they will probably ruin the bay views of some people. They have probably found a way to build them without going to public hearings and want to finish the job before the

No, this does not appear at all. It appears they want to save on real estate and cooling costs by having floating data centers. Google has owns so much real estate and immovable property in the US it is silly to suppose they are thinking of

"I fail to see what's amoral about trading based on information that other people don't know." Seeing as how you are moving the goalposts now you probably see very clearly what is amoral about insider trading.

Say you are an executive of a company and learn of certain piece of inside information which will affect the stock price. Say, for example your company just got a new order that will double their profits. If insider trading were permitted y

You are right. I know the distinction but for some reason I thought this was a grand jury.

It is not a victim-less act. The person that goes into a transaction without knowing insider information usually believes they were cheated. Quite rightfully so. Your first point is wrong as well. If insider trading were legal there would b

He got off because it was ultimately a question of his word against the word some other guy. And the other guy had an axe to grind. And Cuban is very popular in Dallas, being the owner of the local basketball team. So the jury decided there

I think the point the poster is trying to get across is that there are no more rare earth metals in a Tesla model S than any other car of its class. Of course there may be some small amount of rare earth metals in the speakers or the electr

Because they want to have DC motors, while Tesla uses an AC motor. There are various advantages disadvantages to both. DC motors require permanent magnets. The AC motor on the other hand has the problem that the power coming out of the batt

The problem with cash grants is something that does not show up when there is a Columbia professor watching things. And that is that the money gets stolen. Many poor countries suffer from corrupt callous and cruel leadership. And this means

Yeah but in this case, they did not say that they showed that the "fake rich" player engaged in cheating or breaking rules. All they could show is that the "fake rich" player attributed their success to their own skill w

It is not merely a civil issue it is about safety. If you do not stop in front of those zebra walks when a pedestrian is present you can easily run someone over.

Usually it is bad news. In practice no metal is pure metal, so if you have copper you are likely to have a bunch of lead atoms that easily get into radioactive isotopes. So yes, it depends on the circumstances, but it is very very likely th

I feel bad for the Chinese. They are getting irradiated metal without knowing it. There is going to be a lot of pain sickness and suffering caused by this scavenging even thought it will probably never be traced back to Kazakhstan.
