Their having to remove old tweets, blog posts, and marketing material likely had to do with pushback from regulators.

It's defined in the second paragraph: "The FBI, working with private sector partners, redirected the internet traffic going to the domains (an action known as “sinkholing”) in order to disrupt and dismantle these botnets."

He already is. He also gets a fair amount of media coverage. All well deserved.

Arnold has also admitted to steroid use in the past and has had multiple open heart surgeries.

Just out of curiosity, how is coughing related to high blood sugar?

Are you referencing the actual study? The article states, “The study involved restricting mice from using their hind legs, but not their front legs, over a period of 28 days.”

Which forums are you referring to?

I thought Bill Ackman was more of an activist investor than a value investor (not that they're mutually exclusive labels). I don't know about the other two.

They made $265MM dollars last quarter, up from $178MM same time last year. That’s on $711MM of revenue.

The collective is more commonly referred to as "FAANG": https://www.investopedia.com/terms/f/faang-stocks.asp.

So the answer would be both.

While that’s a very enlightening fact. I’m not sure how I would feel about jumping in a river and just getting swarmed by schools of fish or swimming in an ocean teeming with lobster. Still I agree that modern industrial fishing is having grave impacts on our environment and ecosystems.

I use instagram almost entirely to showcase my photography:https://www.instagram.com/imjustjk/. It's certainly not a perfect platform but it's good enough (and better than most). It's a mobile first platform that's simple, intuitive, and has huge adoption. It also has great loading speed for the amount of content and even the quality of images. I'm not sure what you expect on a mobile app? Do you want to be able to load full 42 megapixels images of mine on your phone?

Yeah, I'm kinda on the other end of this. I often didn't do as well as I should have in school because I always "understood" what was going on in the classroom. It was confusing for me when those who struggled to understand what was being taught in class did better on exams. From a cursory glance I always seemed to understand what was being taught, so I never did the deep work where you really learn the subject. I figured out better ways to really learn the subject matters later in academia. It was almost never about reading more on the subject, but rather doing more problems (ideally exams that were use in previous semesters) on the subject.

I read the whole article and I'm not impressed. The crux of the article seems to be that he now admires Tim Cook and Apple because they don't spend money on progressive technologies that have a potential for harm. His examples include smart speakers, driverless cars, and cashierless stores that presumably shouldn't be pursued because of their potential for societal harm. Look, things like privacy, safety, and job opportunities for the underprivileged are immensely important, but his arguments are flawed. By the same standards, the iphone and a myriad of other important technologies should never have been pursued.

I remember nothing worse in High School than waking up showering and getting dressed for school, only to have PE class first period.

You're correct in that FB has made these changes in the past that have hurt publishers, but the degree and severity of this last update is unprecedented. Media companies that had $100MM+ valuations months ago have shuttered over night: https://digiday.com/media/live-algorithm-die-algorithm-littl.... Unless you're close to someone in the industry, you wouldn't realize the severity of the situation. I personally know of two separate companies that lost 80% of their traffic overnight and had to shutdown almost immediately. There are much larger companies, with significant VC and private equity backing that are able to stay afloat through this, but they're definitely feeling the impact. This is across the board to all traditional media companies as well, and a lot of people with significant influence and money are not happy.

Agreed. A lot of the criticism against facebook is warranted, but a cynical part of me also thinks the timing on all this not coincidental to the Algorithm changes FB rolled out last month. In fact, I can't believe I haven't heard this from anyone else.

Facebook's shutting down of organic reach was devastating for publishers: http://www.adweek.com/digital/after-facebooks-algorithm-chan.... Now, just weeks later, it seems like all of media has turned on Facebook. We've known about the Cambridge Analytica scandal for over a year, but suddenly it's cover story material again. This is an article on it from last May: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/may/07/the-great.... It just seems like the media is dumping on whatever it can at this point.

My cynical view on how this ends would be that FB comes to some compromise on organic reach and the media begins to cool down on all the FB hoopla. FB gets some sort of slap on the wrist fine from the FTC or some other governing agency, and nothing genuinely changes in terms of consumer privacy.

Well if you eat healthfully and exercise regularly, I think it's a rational question to ask if this pill would give additional benefits. No one is arguing not to eat good food and exercise.

I believe the OP is correct: https://www.amazon.com/Sony-Frame-24-105mm-Standard-Zoom-Cam...

That is not a G Master lens. The G Master lenses are quite a bit more expensive. I don't believe Sony even makes a 24-105 G Master: https://www.sony.com/electronics/g-master-lenses

Either way, the quality of all Sony native E-mount lenses are amazing.

Except in the show, it's Bachman who's the landlord taken advantage of by a menacing tenant: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhZACkzuZeE

I assume if she was a teller and saw, say $100MM, in an account assigned to him, it wouldn't be unimaginable for her to believe whatever story he conjures up.

That's very similar to a standard lunch for me.

Can you explain what people confuse about income taxes?

Take a deep breath man. You'll be fine. Moving (especially across country like that) is always a stressful event. I think once you settle in and find a routine for your new career you'll realize you're not in as precarious a situation as you think. Best of luck. Cheers.

The interest rate in Japan, in particular, is literally zero.

I think it actually runs counter to that mantra. Here, it seems they weren't good enough at faking it with later-stage VCs.
