... please bring it back! I don't like huge and heavy iPhones!
Wait, isn't Andersen consulting, ops, pardon me, Accenture, unavailable? And why Oracle, since when are they in the construction rather than extortion business?
We'll sneak some probes in to do real exploring.
...naming it after an irate puppy killer.
They should try something incremental rather than target proverbial moon-shots first. That way the investments are less risky. Their egos seem to want showy shit ASAP, no wonder they get along with the tinted person.
Do bubbles matter when the Fed can buy stocks to end panics
Yes, quite obviously. Given the amount of grift supply required by the donors of the politicians today, Fed doesn't have the money printing capacity anymore.
If the Fed had bailed out Lehman, would the 2008 panic even have started?
Yes it would have, a bit later into the bubble.
But perhaps you can ask former treasury secretary Paulson, formerly of Goldman and Sachs, the Lehman competitor, about it. He must have the details on that non-bailout - if anyone does.
Don't try to drag this down to kindergarten level. It is unbecoming and says bad things about you. Sure, only something like 10-15% of the human race are actually rational and can fact-check, but these people exist.
No. You cannot. This bullshit statement shows that you have no clue.
And do you have any proof of that or is that just what your decidedly non-expert evaluation is? It is _very_ easy to get things totally and completely wrong in the medical space.
What if you just want to be abysmally stupid? Sure, you can be. It is not illegal or something. But do not push it as a model to aspire to, because that will harm _others_ and at that point you leave what is acceptable.
Sure. But why do people not want to do it? Using your mind is the only way to get better at it.
And that is a problem that is actually pretty hard and expensive to solve. For software. An experienced and smart human can do it easily. A machine cannot.
That is one thing I do not get. Silence is nice. Allows you to think clearly.
A ruling that says "engagement engineering" is illegal would be difficult to enforce, but presumably not impossible.
At the very least it would curb extreme cases like the one from the story.
"I invented everything wonderful! I even invented Al Gore, believe me! Radios and TV's used to have big glass tits and wankers that glowed orange, such a wonderful color, but they were big and heavy, like Rosie O'Donnell, so nobody wanted them.
So I got one of my bone spurs med tablets, soaked it in Diet Coke for 3 days, stuck wires into it, and it became the very first Trans Sister. I hated that woke name so called it Capacitor instead, and even made it flux. Some say it can go back in time, which I may do to get my Nobel Prizes back, that Hannibal Lecter and Autopen Joe stole from me. Everyone knows they are Filthy Antifa Crooks!"
If you always postpone pleasure you will never have it. Quit work and play for once!
