Well I can give me my case then, I was raised in Normandy by a familly of small shop owners, went to the local college paid by taxes and now work in an investment bank in Hong Kong. I feel the problem is not that college is useless even if

My point was that there was no choice but to break your back to pay the Dime tax to your local church, but ofc I couldn't farm a potato if my life depended on it. Do you still miss the time where we were all farmers ?

What I dont understand is how they calculate rates for loans. I dont know much about DeFi and just consider it as scammy as NFTs, but for me a lending rate is always function of a default risk: too high, no loan, high, high rate, low, low r

Don't be down just because you met one guy - who knows, maybe he cant work a week without insulting a client. Dont forget that when colleges didnt exist for everyone, say 200 years ago, most people were farmers. People are selective wh

He got much more than a slap on the wrist, he go removed from his chairman incestuous position from Tesla. It's the first red flag of bad governance when the CEO is also the chairman (others are to have the board full of family members

What matters is to they keep record of these whatsapp requests, not that they use whatsapp. If they screeshot all the chats one by one print them and airmail them to the SEC in postcard format, this is still ok. Saying "oh snap we dont

No, it has the opposite effect on me, a bank employee, to immediately report everything weird because even if I do nothing wrong, want banks to behave legally, and have never personally traded a stock in my life, the appearance of improprie

No I think it's never that simple. I would agree they shot themselves in the foot and it s fair game to assume as much, but in reality it was a sentiment of systemic impunity laced with laziness, most likely. This also means that since

The argument the SEC presented however is that it hindered investigations which means it was extreme. There s no excuse dropping an email with the details of the communications out of channel was impossible, even by hiding the fact it was o

I agree in principle but you're missing a small point: journalists are not proxies to the truth, they are proxies to a perspective. You should NEVER read an article to learn about an absolute reality, but to understand the arguments on

In France we mean by that that all newspaper have a public well accepted stance on the political spectrum, with candidates they push without hiding and ideologies they maintain. As long as their leaders and famous journalists are clear they

Well JPM sure must have the same training as we do, and I cannot imagine the SEC not reinforcing this value, that compliance to regulation is the first responsibility of a bank employee, esp after the crisis where we're painted sometim

And that is due to the language and not, say, the writing tradition ? If we kept the same languages and made japanese people write it massively in 26 half sound symbols and made all of what you call a white european population use 3k+ ideog

Waho impressive. This theory you invented sounds so much like all the popsci articles you see in ads like "Scientists dont want you to know it, but this guy think we live in a multiverse" kind of things. Are you the one who starte

Which is what scares me. Yes it s cool to protect the local microbes but damn arent we also an important local life form of the solar system that would leap one level in evolution by just living on two planets ? Should we lose that for the

Chances are, the people you're thinking of, the very top, may very well have proof in writing they require employees not to talk abt the business on whatsapp. I work in the same kind of company and Im baffled, I wouldnt dare say the na

I'm a French immigrant in China. I think you're building a fake dichotomy: as a politician in France once said, borders are the only hope we have to escape if we dont like what we have. It's fine to have many models and impor

Be careful of market cap numbers, they hide information and are almost meaningless: they don't describe volume behavior. If suddenly people realized Apple had to be sold as fast as possible, most of that value would evaporate to reach

The American dream was also a concept for non-Americans. I mean, it's not like a formal, natural phenomenon we can just observe, so everyone has its own interpretation. So here is mine, from a French who chose to emigrate in China inst
