The base interest rate is set by the government and the banks can whack on whatever margin they want (including negative for a period) Do you think it's "fair" that banks offer Interest Only[1] mortgages, where you the householder can pay o

Sounds more like a court case with WB and not a blog post whinging about the terms. HN Post calculations are worth the paper they're written on. If anyone is owed multiple $100K, for any reason, there should be motivation to hire a legal te

What is it with lecturing me about missing stuff...??? Come on. I have a different viewpoint. I happen to think it is completely "morally defensible" thank you. --- One of my best mates at University (in Sydney) graduated in Law and set up

LOL! Lecturing me on "not getting it" is not a nice or effective tactic. -- WB put in advance money to make the albums in the first place. Nothing morally wrong there. Further, lets say that 90% fee on current sales goes into the pool of

I didn't miss that bit. That 90-10% repayment split is part of the contract agreement he made with WB. If it isn't he can sue WB. --- Other world examples: When one pays off a mortgage, you need to pay both for the interest portion as well

Thanks for your comment. It's hard to establish your credentials (account created 7 hours ago, just like your post). Normally I would have looked through your previous comments/blog and tried to establish veracity of your claims. Freshness

This email trail disection involves data from around the Hockey Stick time, so I felt okay to list the historical disagreement. Time does not age the fact that shoddy practices were used as recently as 2001. The book mentioned has quite up-

Plenty of businesses have multiple ways of billing. If you order repeat bank statements from your mortgage bank, are they not allowed to charge you for postage?? As far as the article can show, Warner Bros is out $300K on the deal with litt

Right, I'm going to wade in here. Tichy I completely agree with you, the evidence exposed by these leaks is very, very weak. Basically there is already existent a lot of evidence that many scientists disagree strongly about Climate Change

In a HN sense, you're right. I think (and I did say IMO) that they lost the arguments. One moron started abusing gays and jews (last link). Is that "winning" by your definition?

the article mentions topics not to mention. Like comparisons-to-Hitler. Mentioning breasts is a similar way to instantly lose an argument, and I provided some links to arguments that relied mentioned breasts and died. Did you follow any of

Many smart people I agree with you that many smart people work for ordinary wages. But the point seems to be to ask the question: is "many", enough to keep an economy growing optimally? Great Depression[1] : 25% unemployment, thus rough

Uurghh, not a very sensible article. High on principle but low on practicality. Think what you like about owning a company versus share investing as a good way to build a nest-egg, this is not the crux. Shares and cash are exchangeable
