Exactly. Worst article ever. The writer is either very silly or completely disingenuous. If a writer had to caveat every statement to be 100% accurate, they'd never get finished or…

Even further - Lehman had a giant book of derivatives. The counterparts to all those trades woke up to a nightmare - you don't even know what your own book looks like if you don't …

Look at this link. The US built very few houses in the last decade.... we are in a supply crunch. https://www.statista.com/statistics/1041889/construction-yea... Going back to 05-0…

It isn't converted into solid mass either. Study chemistry. Clueless.

> converting CO2 into mass CO2 has mass. It's 1 carbon atom and 2 oxygen atoms. The idea there is new mass creation going on here is absurd. Study some physics.

? They were way off last week. If that is your definition of optimistic, I don't want to see pessimistic.

Sorry to single you out, but the stock market usually trades in anticipation of recessions. It's not a proxy for the current GDP, it's an expectations market. The stock market coul…

He didn't publish a science paper. It's a specific claim and you can easily call Adyen customers and find out if it's true. It's not an outrageous claim and he goes on to acknowled…

Good list.

This is wrong. Just spend some time in finance, then spend some time in a field which is closer to a hard science and you'll realize it. As an example, most theories in physics are…

Hence this raise. It makes mystery bucks less mysterious.

Employees are paid stock. It's hard for prospective/current employees to take the valuation seriously without some external validation. This is a problem for both employees and emp…

It's difficult to know for sure where to store data in a GDPR world. People move. People have multiple citizenships. People open accounts in countries where they aren't citizens. P…
