This is why we need a guaranteed minimum income. Hopefully, TSA screeners would stop showing up to work.

It will eventually. You just have to stay strong and not let the terrorists win.

The 9-11 hijackers used razor blades. So, its been done. Of course, no American passenger is going to believe that everything will be fine if they comply these days so I don't think its possible to pull off 9-11 again.

This is why I can't support high speed rail enough. You get from downtown nyc to Washington dc without having your human rights violated. And its faster too.

If they got this pissed about it, my guess would be that the client called Pillar and complained. Pillar must have felt that the author not going into the office made them look bad.

The other thing that the article doesn't address is how much weight you gain in muscle when you exercise. When I go from out-of-shape to back-in-shape, I know that I've increased my muscle mass as well as loosing fat. That doesn&#

Your body is not a bomb calorimeter. If you're looking to thermodynamics to explain weight loss or gain you'll be disappointed.

I think you make a lot of good points but I would contend that the title of the article is click-bait. It's all well and good that the article itself is well reasoned but people read the title and hold on to that.

Microsoft is a great company to work at ... if you're an MBA.

We're not talking about fraud. You fire those people and move on. You shouldn't hamstring your recruiting process for the rest of time because of it. BTW, why didn't you check references?

If you want to talk about bullshit, how about ignoring evidence and resorting to ad-hominum attacks? I was not ignoring your argument but rather pointing out that there is data showing a correlation between doctors advocating low fat/h

It's not a straw-man. Look at the adoption of the low fat/high carb diet by medical professionals in america. Now compare that to the prevalence of obesity and type 2 diabetes.

I know when I started eating paleo, I had really painful gas (to me and everyone else) for a few months. Then, after a while, I could eat all the broccoli I could stand and it was fine.

I don't think you need a fourth branch; the judiciary should collect the data and determine when it can be searched.

I think Goldman would pay more to hire an sec investigator with balls. They'd be the ones causing problems and worth buying.

Unless theyre a German bank that bet on the housing bubble.

There weren't any loans being bundled in this deal. It was a synthetic. My point is tjs Goldman is the house and made money from the deal not the outcome.

I read it differently. My take away was that the SEC didn't have the _evidence_ to go after anyone but Fabricci. However, I really don't understand how Goldman would have profited from aiding Paulson & co. Goldman set up a sec

I can't believe he made a public statement either. If you want a baseless lawsuit to go away quickly, you do not give the opposition ammunition (which is what this public statement is). The lawsuit sounds like bullshit to me but I can

You don't think any individuals committed fraud when they applies for NINJA loans?

The products were designed to be safe even if a large percentage of the underlying assets went into default. They did not represent the pools as free from assets that would default. They represented the pools as diverse.

They sampled rather than investigate every note. We all take those "short cuts."

Fantastic. Thanks for the response. Our use case is talking to an API, doing a little bit of processing then writing to a database. It's all IO with barely any processing (just a few string substitutions to "normalize" the AP

My problem with this is that we trying to fix finance by expecting Goldman Sachs to act as good citizens. Guess what will never happen. Goldman is not a good citizen. It is a market maker. It provides the function of creating financial prod

I'm not blaming the victims. The victims are people who are relying on the pension funds for their retirements. I'm pointing out that the managers who were entrusted to invest the assets of those funds deserve a huge helping of bl

Yup. Unfortunately, the only reason S&P, Moodies and Fitch matter is because ... wait for it ... they were named in the Securities and Exchange act of 1934 as the only agencies that banks were allowed to use. It's one of those huge
