   Citation needed. The huge amount of time and resources spent preparing for the SATs imply that it is not a direct measure of intelligence. Is a someone who scored a 2300 after years of test prep necessarily more intelligent than someone who

    I've found that some perks, like free cancellation, is only available on the hotels' sites for significantly more than OTAs. Also my CC gives me a 10% on some OTAs.

    I understand they generally will not be activist holders, but can they be? If I buy a Vanguard ETF they hold the rights to all the stocks in the ETF, not me?

    When you say Vanguard has the next largest, does that mean they are holding it for their clients or own it themselves? If I invest in a Vanguard ETF which contains AMZN does Vanguard maintain voting rights? Can it leverage its holdings on b

    Then they shouldn't use Google for military projects, which Google has already said they won't pursue (AI for weapons). But DoD =/= military, and if you are equating them here then you ignored what I wrote and are making a bl

    The issue wasn't with the DoD portion of it, it was the drone part. I'm sure Google employees would be fine providing Google Cloud and Docs functionality to the DoD bureaucracy.

    They emphasized on their earnings call that their biggest increase in spending is on the software side. They know they have a lot of work to do there and are investing in it, but that it will be a multi-year process.

    And certainly that's not the "feature" of Comcast support you were referring to when you directed me there. Most people's negative notions of Comcast and their support is well-deserved. Until Google makes Duplex an &quot

    I suspect they didn't - Google's notion is a human-like conversation with a real person to accomplish a simple goal on the user's behalf. Comcast's notion is to make it as hard as possible for a user to accomplish their
