They screwed up, but did they deserve the "largest penalty ever?" Established brokerage houses have gotten away with worse and paid less. Sounds an awful lot like another true real-life example of the very same r/WSB David&#x

I'm not in those groups but I also don't apply, because applying to jobs sucks ass, and I want to minimize the number of times I do it. So I make a judgment call every time - "How likely is it that this will be a waste of my

Jung called that "the provisional life" or you could call it "provisional living." Something a lot of dieters and addicts do. "My life'll be swell after I quit heroin tomorrow!" You get to enjoy the securi

Good point. Gates isn't really even a good example because luck and happenstance played a big role. Possibly it's the same to some degree for most "outliers." People seem to minimize the effect of chance when writing how

So here's an out-of-left-field question. Given what we've been saying for a while, that a Facebook user is not the customer but the product, then how would you ever prove Facebook was a monopoly the way we think of it? Is social m

I hate the fake folksy conversational tics like "Ouch!" Oh are you hurt? And who is the "you"?

It's an ad platform plain and simple; that's the whole value proposition. So I imagine every pitch, every meeting was about that. And every store that uses it will be doing it to get a cut of the ad revenue. It's true that it

Hot-damn, you just put your finger on why the whole thing is such a turn-off. It's just a big, lame, shallow show. Bags of hot air blowing at each other, for the clickbait value. And whether it's a media outlet characterizing some

Your credentials aren't really relevant unless you're making an ad hominem argument to the effect that we should believe everything you say about finance because you're an authority. Use of slang or jargon in a headline onl

Right, unless maybe they were working some kind of "He was so charming, all his victims went willingly blablabla" type narrative.

Even if I didn't know about the mistake, I would still think idly that something was amiss, because that's the best-dressed and friendliest-looking goddamn serial killer I've ever seen!

It's worth noting that the quote from Kashkari isn't even included, so without looking at some other source we don't know whether he even used the word Ponzi. Or for that matter, whether he illiterately said "a Ponzi&quo

"Distracted walking" is pretty well discredited as a deadly scourge to society. Also, walking is travel, and restricting walking already makes travel more inefficient and inconvenient. So I'm gonna go with lowering speed lim

If I can take the naive view for theatrical effect here, who thinks this is a good idea? Who thinks this is how you serve, help, and represent the people of Ohio? On what grounds would you assert that the people are saying "Please stop

Pfizer/BioNTech gave me tinnitus, which is probably permanent. It's an experimental vaccine that hasn't gone through the full testing & approval process. This was the warning I received from the doctor who obtained my con

It's not a bug, it's a feature. Corporations in Europe have to pay taxes and follow laws and stuff, don't they? They'll never get to be huge, hypertrophic and out-of-control at that rate! This article talks as if having

It's the best. I was able to move out of the place I was in, which was a traffic-dominated hellscape and a complete "non-place" and the ultimate marriage of convenience (and not even that convenient), and move to a great plac

The source of that statement is the police, who have an incentive to lie at this point. And the statement is uncorroborated, and remains so by their own doing, since they're also apparently claiming the right to keep the warrant secret

Fine with me. The last thing I want to hear is an athlete talking anyway. They're good at the sportsball and that's enough. If I want to watch someone struggle in something they're not good at, I might as well watch a journal
