It's like the author is unaware of why people invest in VC's and why VC's invest in companies. Is it actually possible that he thinks that VC's have "helping the world" as a primary goal? That is too funny.

Yes, some (many?) brokers already offer similar services (i.e. debit card and checking). I think they typically only allow those to access cash on hand though and won't initiate any sales of any securities.

It depends on how much of your assets are invested in the market. And on how you're handling cost basis. And if you are carrying forward any previous losses. And how long you've held the asset. And... well, you get the idea.

I understand that the author was just using WW1 western front strategy & tactics for illustrative purposes, but I feel that far too many people think that the leadership of the armies involved were simply idiots, stuck in the mud, etc.

There is no correct answer. There is no correct answer. The various ways different languages handle implicit type conversion with division and modulo operations are all both correct and incorrect at the same time. It's really an arb

When groups do this in furtherance of illegal activities, it's called "organized crime". And such groups need to be pursued aggressively because they are corrosive and poisonous to society at large. If they are not actively

Um, such actions were very very rare 200+ years ago. If you look at history from the lens of daily life in a given location, you will see that horrible behavior by the people in power would go on for lifetimes. Not only without without pu

What prevents them is custody. Funds, brokers, etc. are all required to use custody providers to keep track of assets and handle the actual transfer of assets.

In fairness, I got the feeling that the author of the article was writing in the context of western Europe. While Western Europeans have a hard time understanding the large and dangerous wildlife populations that exist in North America, it

I don't know the details, but I'm pretty sure it's tax related. I'll bet companies would love to be able to do that. Because then that company could deduct that capital loss from their income to lower or eliminate th

Um, I use social media "responsibly" and it's quite easy. I look at various social media sites I'm on perhaps two or three times a week. Takes up maybe 30 minutes of my time a week. I feel no addictive urge to use t

To better understand people of differing beliefs, you have to temporarily pretend to accept their fundamental tenets. To use your example, understand that most sects of Christianity teach that in order to gain entrance to heaven, one must a

Then this is, IMO, a problem with the software developers (in the broadest sense, not just programmers). Most e-commerce in fact, DO share the same framing, wiring and plumbing as all the others. This is why you can buy an e-commerce pack

Well sure, but that's also true of how you treat men (you may just not realize it consciously). To deny that appearance plays a role in how other people perceive you and treat you is to deny reality. It may not be fair, but it's

My observations are that it's typically other women who make comments about women not wearing makeup, not men. Or more generally speaking, it's other women who comment most on women's appearance (dress, makeup, hair, etc.) t

It is, in fact, a very long time. Because economic cycles these days are 5 to 10 years long (which is pretty long historically). Being a bit off on your inflation call by just 2 or 3 years is essentially the same as being completely wrong

No offense, but having lived through stagflation in the late 1970's, the current environment is nothing close to stagflation. And from a quantitative point of view, there is no decline in real GDP, thus it's not stagflation. It&

I think it's very interesting how some people are repulsed by the use of mathematical symbols in the sample code. While others love it. The vast majority of the code I write is not mathy. But I do write a fair bit of mathy code becau

Yeah, the use of "millions of times better" just doesn't pass the sniff test. Given that current commercial methods kill 90%+ bacteria in water, thus, nothing can be even 2x better...and makes me suspicious of any claim in t

The only reason the houses could possibly cost that much is if the town is restricting new construction. I.e. the old guard is making real estate there expensive.
