I have one that has had a runny nose for about two years now and is constantly sniffing. No matter how many times it's mentioned, and even though there is a Kleenex box on their desk, nothing ever changes. It's enough to make me t

How about private equity? It's not something that makes mainstream news often, but it's a bubble that many are expecting to burst. It's a massive market that relies on heavily leveraged borrowing and is tightly integrated wit

Despite using git for nearly a decade, I never became "good" at it until I started using Magit. Emacs is worth learning for Magit and org-mode alone.

The resignations and firings from the Equifax and Volkswagen scandals were not in 2018. Meanwhile, Demos Parneros, Paul Marciano, Steve Wynn and many others were directly taken down by #MeToo in 2018.

I've been using vim a lot recently. Multiple cursors for this exact scenario is the only thing I still miss about other editors. Macros and other solutions are great, but for this very simple and surprisingly common task, multiple curs

He definitely never said that beating the market is impossible. He said you can beat the market long term by taking on more risk, but not by market timing and stock selection. Everyone leaves out risk when talking about the EMH.
