   I really enjoy wine. But - yes it is bullsh t. It's just a higher class of bullsh t... Roman Weil (an accounting professor who decided he was more interested in wine than FASB rules) did some empirical analysis on the topic. Here&#x

   All the comments so far are about opting in because we're concerned the boss thinks we're not visible enough online. What if it's a little more nefarious.... Companies want to use it to see who is wasting time online?

   Great tips on this. Especially "People love to back underdogs but they hate backing losers." and "Conciseness is a virtue." A lot of people come to me for job advice. I'm happy to give people a chance, but not sel

   It is very hard to say "This too shall pass" during your darkest days, but tptacek is correct on this one. You'll also know who your true friends are once you get out on the other side.

    I agree with you conceptually. Steady stable businesses of any side have no business taking VC money. Maybe they take PE money for capital structure arbitrage purposes. But I still consider them start-ups. They are entrepreneurs fighting

    I don't think this is strategic intent as you're reading it. There's a world market and world price for oil. The US dips into their strategic reserve when prices get too high. This isn't consistent with "hoarding

    It would be great if this works, but there is a lot of noise in the book world. Even with good filtering I find myself putting down a lot of drivel. This said, if it opens up the variety of what we're reading, it can't hurt. So

    I just don't see how this is retaliation. Moody's is a public company. While the US government could conceivably put pressure on the firm to do something like this, they have a lot more tools at their disposal. In addition, the
