I'm sure a lot of people here own their own domains but kinda don't host and maintain the server themselves. You can be a spoiled politician and use your own device with your own domain without hosting your own server.

I'd argue that calling someone a MILF in the workplace is already harassment. The problem with passively sitting by is that it can introduce more problems down the road because someone can claim that you passively sat by and fostered

What is a manager supposed to do in this situation that does not lead to something along the lines of that? In that case, why bother bringing it up?

Any ideas why your employee brought it up to you (management) but does not want you (management) to do anything about it?

You mean rich people decided to stay in the US during wartime instead of chancing it somewhere else.

I can only scream bias in the reporting given the title of the article and the fact that Soros is in a picture with Simons and there is no mention of Soros in the article. Unreal.

You have a lot of posts on this topic and do not seem to have something resembling even a remote understanding of the topic. > Edit: sorry, read another thread of yours that 2% is covering cost; how can it be a % if it is covering cost?

Of the three firms listed in the article, two of them have had significant redemptions in the past year and one of them has returned all outside capital. This says that Och-Ziff has had $4.2bn in redemptions during the first nine months of

And what almost always follows in that case is that performance starts to lag because most strategies do not scale with how well your fundraising ability happens to be.

You as the beneficiary of a pension fund absolutely can exert influence over the investment committee of the pension fund. If there is a process in place for remedying a problem like this, how does it become another party's fault? Ad

So these magical hedge funds are so powerful that they can force people to invest in them?

Please detail how hedge funds exploit pension funds.

Strange, most hedge fund managers do not collect much if any salary at all.

I wonder if their viewpoint has changed since the more than decade and a half since that article was published. Is it that hard to find something current if it's so fundamental to your argument?

I wonder if their view has changed over the almost 30 years since that research report was published.

My understanding is that Wolfsburg was built in order to house Volkswagen workers. There is a massive difference in planning a city around a specific need versus a well-established city investing in companies. While I still do not agree w

There's no American bias on this. If the world's activist investors employ extremely highly paid and numerous staff and maybe get things 50/50, what type of staff will a government employ that can do better?

This is how I see it. I would also guess that a much larger portion of Sanders voters will not vote in the general vs everyone else who voted against Trump in the primary.

I don't think you can go by the previous "many Republicans" and say that Trump is going to fall prey to the same things they did. I'm not saying he's unstoppable and I'm not saying you have to throw out all co

This is an awful idea. Governments do not have the expertise to participate as an psuedo-activist investor. On top of that, what happens when the city's crown jewel goes bankrupt and those shares go to zero? Diversification is key

I'm arguing that talented people move to greener pastures when they feel that they are undervalued or not treated equally. If for every overachiever you have x number of people who go "well I'm going to get paid the same as

One of the previously male-dominated field that the article mentions is computer programming. There is no other field in the article that has undergone such a fundamental shift from when women used to dominate the field. There were virtua

I'd argue it more stems from childhood with the way boys are encouraged to approach situations and how that differs from the treatment girls receive. Boys are encouraged to be more aggressive while girls are supposed to be timid. Whe

The only thing it is explicit about is that full-time working women as a whole get paid less than men. There is a vague assertion towards the fact that a gap still exists "after factoring in the kind of work people do, or qualificatio
