    Yet Ackman argues that index funds are destroying his and hedge fund's abilities to better govern a company. I guess the fraud was the fault of those darn index funds!

    This requires that you install their Jetpack plugin if you have a self-hosted website and then connect it with your Wordpress.com account. I haven't managed to get it work while my…

    There's a great 25 minute tour of the ISS by Sunita Williams on NASA's YouTube channel along with commentary on how life works up there. https://youtu.be/doN4t5NKW-k

    The appeal to UBI for me has always, apart from being a good way to stop welfare traps and increase income equality now, is that it marks the beginning of the new phase in our econ…

    I'm not going to question you, because the plane did indeed have enough energy to the "flip". I'm just going to suggest things about the speed. The approach speed a 777 at 250km/h,…

    Idle speculation and having a bit of fun trying to play air crash investigator, is exactly what this article is. I hope that I was able to convey that this is about "what I think" …

    CNN just released video footage they have of the actual crash. The plane (from what I see) after crashing does a near 360-degree turn with the right wing high up – in fact you can …
