Don't understand much about corporate finance. Why would they park $1.5B of their cash? Don't they need it for other stuff? Or will they just borrow an equal amount to use for whatever they need?

Not a BREXITer but the libdems are putting way too much trust in the EU. This can potentially backfire in the recent future when the EU does not perform as well as it should. When you actually look at the metrics you do not actually see the

All the questions are related. I am aware that some people can make it work, but if you remove cheap meat, who do you affect? Poor people. My question is, can poor people also eat a plant based diet with minimal malnutrition risk? All the q

The question is how feasible it is? Is it a trivial change in lifestyle? Is it more expensive or cheaper? Can you make it work with the basic fare that you find everywhere, or do you need to shop around for plant products that are more exot

It could also be that fathers who had no sisters were more emotionally attached to their daughters, whereas fathers who grew up with sisters has less emotional attachment to their daughters and consequently were less affected by their horri

In reality daughters are getting all these ideas about how to behave from their friends and from contemporary popular culture. So actually what is happening is a struggle between parental advice, and outsider influence. Now I find it intere

The other findings are telling: Fathers who had sisters growing up, were less likely to face divorce. Families with immigrant background were more likely to face divorce.

All of what you say is true. One thing I want to add though, is that Ph.ds are abundant these days. Because of this, there are certain jobs in industry where you do something similar to research, that require a Ph.d.

On the one hand $700k is more than a lifetime of savings for many. On the other hand I sometimes get surprised by how cheap the most influential politicians in the world are. I guess this sort of thing is regular enough so it adds up?!

To be honest, I do not want to speculate about the why and philosophize about the justifications, as the issue is very complicated and would needlessly deviate the discussion. My comment was very matter of fact: because of the current lack

Of course, but the law is a joke in practice (which btw is something I found typical of German law). It is very hard to prove discrimination and no immigrant would have the money, time and energy to pick such a battle. What most of them do

As always people on here bitching about the US. As an outsider one thing I find to be really good in the US is inclusion. Americans really don't know how backwards the rest of the world is. For example, I currently live in Germany. Ger

Just worth pointing out that u/DFV analysis was ultimately not what got him rich. He was projecting small growth, and the internet turned the whole thing into a meme. He is rich because of the meme. At this point we don't know if

He is in prison. I presume the OP meant it as a joke.

I am not well versed into how these logical fallacies are supposed to be applied. Everyone is operating with imperfect information, so no implication will ever be 100% logically tight. For example, using "appeal to authority", it

ML uses almost entirely applied math and stochastics: optimization, numerics and statistics. Besides that, just because they won't have faculty researching pure math, doesn't mean they cannot have applied math guys teaching pure

Moments like this make me realize how much of a joke the whole economy is. The fact that a person like Musk can have so much influence that he can print money by posting a single word tweet. The fact that there are Musk worshipers who pour

I think this falls more in the category of "being rich is actually better than being poor", of which there are an equal number of articles that routinely pop on the frontpage.

So everything is at it should be. People who cannot afford to risk big, should not risk big. It is a simple fact that being wealthy allows one to risk more, financially. Even if you gave poor promising candidates free money with no strings

And who are they going to sell them too? The people who buy Teslas are Tesla fanbois not generic EV customers. And a car company like Honda cannot generate the kind of hype theater that Tesla can, especially not in the US. Other car manufac

Christianity and Protestantism in particular have historically been sources of antisemitism and this was true up till well within the 20th century. The fact that hardcore American Christians have now been converted to pro-Israel fanatics,

The implication is obvious that they are comparing to the richest EU cities. It's already a huge difference. To compare it to some city in Romania. That would be insane. What is that like, about 10x the salary?

It is my belief that society should not be dependent on the goodwill of free entities, and free entities should not be pressured to do "good" even when it goes against their interests. I do not hold it against them that they decid

This is something I am interested and considering as a possible future for my career, coming from a math background and starting to dip my toes into ML. One thing I am afraid of is how useful is it actually going to be to create a rigorous

Two stroke might look bad if it is burning too much oil but in terms of health affects it is nowhere near as bad as leaded petrol.

Are you sure about that? Why would Tesla want to compete with Toyota and VW to produce the bottom tier of cars? When at that point they are competing with the best of the best at making the most affordable cars at the largest volumes? They
