Yet Ackman argues that index funds are destroying his and hedge fund's abilities to better govern a company. I guess the fraud was the fault of those darn index funds!

This requires that you install their Jetpack plugin if you have a self-hosted website and then connect it with your Wordpress.com account. I haven't managed to get it work while my Wordpress blog has been running through Cloudflare.

Are people still spouting "dotcom crash v2.0" nonsense? I agree that valuations are abnormally high (although not higher than those during the dotcom bubble) and that a correction is due soon however, this time really is differe

The appeal to UBI for me has always, apart from being a good way to stop welfare traps and increase income equality now, is that it marks the beginning of the new phase in our economic system: one from a cash-work model to a material-existe

I'm not going to question you, because the plane did indeed have enough energy to the "flip". I'm just going to suggest things about the speed. The approach speed a 777 at 250km/h, is correct, that's 134 kts wh

I was very skeptical of comments that the plane 'cartwheeled' and 'flipped'. I just didn't believe there was not only not enough energy, but there would be a lot more fatalities and the airframe would be even more w

Idle speculation and having a bit of fun trying to play air crash investigator, is exactly what this article is. I hope that I was able to convey that this is about "what I think" happened and not "what happened".

About the speed, you're correct – 130 kts for a 777 is not fast, I was mistaken. In fact the NTSB just said the target approach given by the pilots was to be 137 kts. I should have chose one of the higher airspeeds given but I did not

Just a note about approaches and landings – most, if not all airline ops usually say that you should be ~50ft when passing above the threshold.

CNN just released video footage they have of the actual crash. The plane (from what I see) after crashing does a near 360-degree turn with the right wing high up – in fact you can see that the plane is almost nose down-tail up which almost

In a landing flare, you want to raise your negative V/S to near zero. A positive vertical speed means you're no longer descending, but ascending. Having a positive vertical speed during the landing flair is something you don'

I'm actually working right now to try to put some kind of overlay over the images for credit situations. My blog is still a WIP. Sorry!
