Some of the people are hired into the program right out of college for two years. Most of these people are told that they should look for work elsewhere at the end. (Other people are just hired and are not in the program.) It's very co

I once read that you can sell software to companies for under $100 or over $100,000, but not for anything in between. If a salesman is required, perhaps to customize the order, you end up on the expensive side. That side also has "cont

The real problem is this. How do we determine which speech to punish in 2021? The algorithm is if one person in a non dominant group reports that the words made them feel bad, after the fact, then the words caused actual harm and must be pu

If you select Overlays, Bright Objects, Tycho-2 stars, they get labelled as Tycho-2 4564-935-1 and Tycho-2 4564-1031-1. So I guess they are stars?

There are two very similar galaxies here. I've heard of a gravity lens making a star look like it's two. Is it possible a gravity lens is making a galaxy look like two? https://viewer.legacysurvey.org/?ra=211.0715&

That's a good point. But is it better to raise taxes on fossil fuel, or decide to ship oil via train instead of pipeline? I'm not sure what the exact tradeoff would be if train delivered oil was a little more expensive. A little m

So close. The only acceptable solution to them is less consumption. They don't really think through the consequences. For example, they have cancelled the Keystone XL pipeline, but simply do not think about the additional fossil fuel t

Compounding this is Robinhood's execution. Back in March 2020, the whole market plunged, and some Robinhood traders were unable to complete their trades in a timely manner. Will Robinhood's systems and procedures work flawlessly o

There's always about the same amount of money bidding above and below the current price. The market maker keeps it in balance, by matching buy bids and sell bids which are close to the middle of the range. This matching process sets th

If an individual shorts stock at an investment bank, there is a limit to the amount of money the individual can lose. The investment bank has some type of collateral, usually the rest of your portfolio. When your net worth hits a certain th

I don't see that's there's anything magical about 100%. In a short squeeze, the shorts buy stock on the open market at a high price and immediately return the stock. Some of this stock will find it's way back onto the op

Possible, but extremely unlikely. I heard a lot of the short contracts have an expiration date of Friday. No idea if that's really true or not. Issuing new stock has a long lead time. If it wasn't in the works a month or two ago,

It states that Fox News (politics and science) is viewed as biased and opinionated by most editors. There is no similar warning on The New York Times. In my opinion, they are both equally biased and opinionated, but in opposite directions,

This is the best advice here, by far. If you don't want to live on $40K/year, another option to consider is getting a lower stress job at a lower salary, while withdrawing $40K/year.
