If she's really paying $300/week, then absolutely. Checking Enterprise's website shows that my local Enterprise would rent me a small car for a week starting tomorrow for $225 (including taxes and fees).

6/28 is a very respectable finish, though I was surprised that the top 3 finishers were just individuals, not even teams.

This is one reason why employment/population ratio is probably a better measure of economic health than the unemployment rate.

But in the long run, this won't significantly affect the supply of bitcoin because the hash difficulty will just adjust, right? That's in contrast to cocaine, where the crackdown may very well lead to long-term supply shifts, caus

This is because some corporations make a lot more profit than others. "Amazon's corporate income tax bill is so small, though, because its corporate income (aka profit) is so small. Wal-Mart's pretax income since 2008 has tot

Do you happen to have a good source on this experiment being part of MK Ultra? As far as I can tell this article doesn't mention MK Ultra at all, and I can't seem to find much else that explicitly says this experiment was part of

Indeed, and yet the market cap of these cryptocurrencies has grown much faster than that of almost any company you could name over the last few years. (Yes, I know that's an apples-to-oranges comparison, but apparently a lot of people,

Which is why most publicly-traded companies would get the SEC seal of approval in my hypothetical scenario--institutional investors (which I think own most of the U.S. stock market) would demand it.

I'm not terribly happy with the decision, though I can't say I'm surprised. I enjoy the drama of the Wild West that is Ethereum and the rest of the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Minimal regulation encourages innovation, while reg

I guess I'm a bit skeptical. The article doesn't address how the fund managed to lose 2% in a year when holding an S&P 500 index fund would've gotten a 10+% return, and in general we just need more data before we can conc

So, what exactly is the mechanism that makes overfunding lead to a company's failure? I didn't actually find a clear answer to this. The article mentions that less funding would've implied a lower valuation, letting the compa

It's disappointing that the polls will apparently only allow 2 choices (so no good way to ask about, say, the winner of a GOP presidential debate with 10+ candidates). I'd imagine that the media will love using this to get some in

It seems like non-cash payments are still a major headache. I wonder if Bitcoin might take off in Cuba if more of the country gets reliable Internet access.
