The signal value of “being exposed to a link about surveillance and clicking it” is pretty darn low. Unless you’re in North Korea I wouldn’t worry about it.

You’re talking like a rational actor. However there is a lot of irrational behavior caused by principal agent problems in investing. If a trade goes belly up the boss or client is going to ask why you bought a company doing 36 points of gro

How come half the time I see a female engineer’s name it turns out to be a transgender person? Transgender people are less than 1% of the population... is it much higher in Silicon Valley?

Isn’t the “flat earth” thing a bunch of talented trolls who captured an army of gullible idiots? I can understand why there is a population of people so willing to believe government conspiracy theories — the government has perpetrated so m
