Yes, the same type of confusion we are used to hearing from pop physicists like Lawrence Krauss, Neil Tyson, etc.

The author demonstrates a common misunderstanding about medieval philosophy. The medieval Scholastic tradition does not maintain that the body and the soul were "distinct entities"…

If you think of yourself as a "programmer" or "coder" I think it's fair to say you might have incorrectly defined your role already. Your job is to design and implement software so…

No sympathy from me. Guy was the CTO, probably making millions a year, and now he's whining about how a $1.2B investment failed on his watch and nothing was his fault? Sorry guy bu…

From what I've seen, most scientists don't even publish their raw data.

Cool, thanks for the info. What do you actually trade? Do you buy ETFs, CFDs, or do you actually buy the futures contracts themselves?

What platform do you use for trading, and which commodities do you trade?

Many cops in the US have a massive superiority complex

It's kind of like an ambulance-chasing lawyer. Yeah the driver at fault did real harm and owes money to the victim. But the lawyer is not a selfless justice crusader - he's looking…

It's my impression that big US companies can do pretty much whatever they want in a number of European countries. Just look at Ireland for example.

If it is then Europe doesn't seem too upset about it. How could they be when it pays them so well?

I know EU has stronger data privacy laws. I just wonder if they're really all that upset about American companies breaking them. They get to use the new tech and fine the companies…
