Yep, great point. The wikipedia data does seem to be more real-time than the CDC data, which has a typical lag of 7-14 days. Obviously it has its downsides, including lack of localization, basically zero clinical information, no demographic

A reputable employer will tell you what percent of the company the stock represents. Simply knowing how many shares you were granted without knowing how many total were issued tells you nothing about what your shares are worth. If a company

Parodying an elected official is protected by the first amendment. It seems quite unlikely that anybody will be charged with anything. Pretty much all this accomplishes is making the mayor look ridiculous + creating a bunch of new parody tw

It's unclear what the specific allegation is here. The HFT's definitely can see the orders before the person entering the order "received confirmation," because the HFTs have servers in the same building as the CME and t

Interesting argument, but I sort of doubt that local small businesses and bootstrapped startups really need to worry too much about VC-backed startups that truly lose money on the the margin. In general startups that lose money on the margi

Very young, fast-growing companies will often have negative EBIDTA, in part because they are growing so quickly. When this is the case, using a multiple of EBIDTA does not really make sense. For an older company that is not growing or is gr
