Where I work we have gotten emails claiming to be from IT, after constant reminders on what an official email would look like and how to spot a fake and to never click on links. Apparently some have fallen for it. While not lottery scams y

Okay that makes sense but can't one argue that when I see Michael Jordan endorsing a product I can assume that most people know that he is being paid for it. Not to mention my health isn't on the line for the product he is endors

Reading around looks like it was homegrown, headed up by two people from the New Republic. From their about page: "It's a new digital home for an old journalistic tradition. Think of it as a magazine that only runs cover stories—b

Great read so far, read Chapter 1 not realizing there were 15! I love these long form reads where it seems like the author actually did an investigation and is taking care to report. On topic (again only got through chapter 1) I hope that

From the article: At Second Source, the best customers were the most desperate. Often they were immigrants with poor English. Brokers bragged about their biggest rip-offs. For motivation, Hurwitz would tape $100 bills to the wall. Salesmen

Judging them on how they are quoted and this article makes them appear doesn't surprise me at all. I'm sure they want others to see how they've made it .

But is this not the way things are almost now? Kids of all stripes are forced to study once they get home until they go to bed. Go to bed, wake up and go to school (you better get straight A's) then go home and study. Adding in more

I agree here. Maybe this is part of the slow going evolution. We are kind of on the cusp of all these things that are very slowly starting to happen. We have robots that are taking the place of patrolling grounds, serving food, deliverin
