   As a dad who would love their kids to go to Harvard caliber schools, this is very scary. I know deep down that all those administrators are not bad people. Without knowing the other side of the story, I'm still willing to go out on a

   This seems like a continuation of promoting people who are very in touch with programming, and what needs to be done internally to make things happen at Microsoft. Good first promotion by the new CEO!

   Technical types in the US have heard of it, and (as others have mentioned) Rose Hullman, and hold them in high regard. They're just much smaller than their counterparts, and don't have huge grad schools, so they wind up lumped in

    I skipped to page 11 right away too. Great topic, overblown article. When people tear apart the Tiger Mom book because they think overachievers miss out on important things, they miss the core point of the book. The author admits that som

    Very few come up with something that is both audacious enough to be interesting, and realistic enough to pull people in. Usually it's either too pedestrian to be funny, or not realistic enough to catch the spirit of fooling people. Bu

    Total returns are what matter. Stock appreciation plus dividends. If the broader market returns 10%, you can't say, "But I got a 3% dividend, that's apples to oranges." In the end it's all part of the total return

    Over the past 15 years (and 10, so that I'm not cherrypicking the dot com bust) they've dramatically underperformed the market.

    It's really a matter of total returns, using the SAP as a benchmark. The Spider S&P ETFs capture total returns. There's an argument that dividend payers outperform the index over the long haul, but that's something diffe

    My interpretation of the original article was FT saying, "Let's not get too ahead of ourselves on promising the world." Today's Big Data's promises were AI promises of the past. The hype may be overdone (the Oakla

    In the simplest of cases, let's say a stock you are following is at 50.50. You want to buy it at anything under $50. It drops to $49.99, and someone cuts in front of you in line, and buys it. You miss the purchase, and the stock goe
