Yeah, shocker.

In 1966, Fred Trump Jr. called his close friend James Nolan, then working in Penn's admission office, the Post reports:
"He called me and said, 'You remember my brother Donald?' Which I didn't," Nolan, 81, said in an interview with The Washington Post. "He said: 'He's at Fordham and he would like to transfer to Wharton. Will you interview him?' I was happy to do that." Soon, Donald Trump arrived at Penn for the interview, accompanied by his father, Fred Trump Sr., who sought to "ingratiate" himself, Nolan said. [The Washington Post]
Nolan said he was the only admissions official to talk to Trump and he gave him a rating, but the final decision rested with his boss, and "it was not very difficult" to get into Wharton in 1966, easily higher than 50 percent if you were transferring from another school. "I certainly was not struck by any sense that I'm sitting before a genius," he told the Post. "Certainly not a super genius." Former Wharton classmates say Trump was a middling student.
This is on top of lying about graduating first in his class (he didn't), never being on the Dean's list (the school provided a list of everyone on the list in 1968), or his SAT stats (someone took it for him according to Trump's niece).
So no, he didn't earn anything.
There was a time when a single checkbox would get rid of any notification of updates in Firefox. Not any longer. For years we are plagued with harassment if we don't update two seconds after the newest release is out.
For all the time, effort, and money Mozilla keeps wasting, it would be such a simple task to put back what was in the software from its beginning days.
You answered your own question. These are not investors, they are traders. Their sole job is trade on the discrepancies inherit in the system. The faster they can buy low/sell high, the more trades they can do which in turn leads to more profits.
They may not make much on each trade, but do this multiple times each day and the numbers add up over a year.
They just don't know where in the glacier it fell.
They did not mention the German equivelent of a warrant.
Cant he police do this at will? (as in, no one checking to see if the officer is doing it to his ex-wife?) Or do they require a Judge's permission (aka search warrant)
Anyone know the answer?
Without a warrant, this seems like an obviously bad idea. Cops should care more about guilt then they should care about protecting the innocent. But judges should be the other way around.
It's not just Germany. Most of Western Europe has been trending this way since the end of the Cold War, and the roots of such thinking were there long before Hitler was even an itch in his daddy's pants. A lot of Americans seem surprised by this. But Europe isn't America, and European governments have always had a more paternalistic view of their role than American political philosophy allows for. Further, most Europeans are fine with that. Americans gasp when they see such things, but this is just the latest line of code in the old European We'll keep you all safe, comfy, and warm under the blanket of *insert European capitol here* script. European thinking sees the welfare of their people in totality. So it's not just social welfare you get from such systems... "free" healthcare, subsidized housing, schools, etc... but you also get the rest of the "protection" philosophy... that you have to protect people from themselves. Speech codes, bans on anything the government deems "extreme", they're all part of the paternalistic view that you're protecting and providing for your people. Father's job is to feed, house, and keep the kids safe. Part of that is disciplining and setting rules that they have to follow, for their own good. With a few exceptions, this is No Bueno is most of North America, but again, Europe isn't America. It has a considerably different mindset.
This just illustrates the way the rich get richer.
Going to a "good" school means that you make connections to get a good job and then it just keeps going from there on out.
Did you even RTFA?
"Our analysis takes advantage of administrative data from a large, urban, public college system "
The analysts are from Columbia, a private Ivy League school. Not the students. Since they're NYC based, the students they were studying were almost certainly from the public City University of New York system. Not at all hard to get into, and no need for "nepo baby" admissions.
Sounds like he planned to double his money through some quick investments and then lost it all. Ironically, this would make a great Netflix movie.
There was a movie called Kill the Irishman, starring the late great Ray Stevenson, that had a similar plot point: Danny Greene borrows money from the Mob to start a restaurant. The courier tasked with delivering the cash decides to take it and buy heroin with it, re-sell it at a profit, and keep the difference for himself. Except the sellers are Feds in a honeypot scheme. The money is gone, the Mob demands Greene pay them back, he refuses, so the order goes out to "kill the Irishman".
Microsoft could be making a killing on ex-VMware customers if they would just improve their management tools on Hyper-V. That keeps a lot of enterprise customers away. MS's management software for VM's is barebones compared to what VMware offers. But Broadcom seems determined to dare their customers to leave. They're pretty arrogant because they're confident most of their customers will pay the bigger bill instead of jumping to a far-less feature-rich solution.
Look at who the loudest ones are to decry OnlyFans. Men.
Look at who the loudest ones are to decry pornography. Men.
Guess who are the largest purveyors of OnlyFans and pornography.
Now comes ease of gambling and once again, guess who are the loudest ones to complain they can't pay their bills.
If you don't want OnlyFans or pornography around, don't use it. That is the only way to hurt the industries. Don't hand over your money. Now guess what is a surefire way to not go into debt when gambling.
But nope, men will complain (about everything) how this or that is bad or unhealthy or whatever, and yet they go out and hand over their money. If they'd stop being weak none of this would be an issue.
Better versions of Rule 34 will now be in play.
