[0] There's a joke in Florida that the further north you go, the more south you are. The further south you go, the more north you are. It's 100% true too.
It's silly to expect for the average teacher to be able to teach every kind of student. Some teachers are better at challenging gifted students. Some teachers are better at teaching large groups of "average" students. Some teachers are better at teaching basic concepts to students that the educational system has failed.
Seems like something any financial lawyer would have checked the box on prior to making a HUGE announcement, so it's pretty plausible that Robinhood has no ideas about FINRA's laws about arbitration...

Robinhood has no set rules, and it was impossible to predict when or if they'd halt purchasing shares. It was also not possible for Robinhood traders to know when trading of the stock would resume.
Also; Robinhood didn't halt the trading of GME, AAL, AMC, BB, and others. They just halted the purchasing of new shares. Robinhood tried limiting who could buy shares of those stocks to only the hedge funds. That would drive the stock price down, thus manipulating the stock price in the favor of Citadel / Melvin and their short positions.
Nice clickbait. It you watched him take it on stream, you'd know that he was goofing around with his chat and ran out of time b/c he didn't know it was timed.
China built an earth based one, wolfram74 posted a link to a moon based one that JPL proposed for funding.
VC's like having conglomerates that have lots of cash to throw around and can acquire their investments at nice multiples. Even if the startup sucks, they are almost guaranteed a decent exit as long as it doesn't suck TOO much.
But the theory is that b/c we can't properly differentiate between patients with Alzheimer's Dementia and those with other forms of dementia (such as Vascular Dementia), that any clinical trial could be pointless if a statistically significant number of patients have some other dementia instead of Alzheimer's Dementia. The coolest thing about a real quantitative test is the ability to vet patients in a clinical trial. In the last 20 years, literally HUNDREDS of interventions have gone to trial for Alzheimer's, but none have passed. Imagine if one of those interventions already was the cure, but we didn't know b/c the data was skewed by other forms of dementia patients!!!
So the first step in getting a treatment for Alzheimer's is to know if the patients has Alzheimer's :)
Maybe everyone that is upvoting it can read it b/c they subscribe to the news site, and maybe your comment shows your existing bias about your thoughts on other readers of this discussion forum?
He was charged with 4 counts of murder in 2013, but in 2018 he was connected to a murder in Texas. Further investigations connected him to over 50 murders over almost 40 years, but he claims 93. The police hadn't connected ANY of the murders until he was picked up on narcotics charges and his DNA matched a bunch of cases in LA. He'd been in and out of jail 26 times between '61 and '75 for lessor charges, and was even charged with murder in '82, but was acquitted.
Assets have no special training and routinely put their lives on the line anywhere in the world they live and are recruited.
But his 2015 MBP delamination is covered by an Apple Recall from many years ago! He doesn't have to pay a dime to get that issue fixed.
I first took my 2015 MBP to Apple a few years ago for the delamination problem and was told it was covered under a recall notice, but at the time I didn't have up to 2 weeks of service time to be without my MBP, so I just dealt with it. This Spring I finally called up Apple and told them I wanted to get my delamination issue fixed. The Apple rep was completely lost about the recall I was talking about, but about 15 minutes of looking around he found the recall information. 1 week later I had my MBP back from the service center looking b-e-a-utiful :)
Theranos is Theranos b/c they falsified test results. If no test results had been falsified, Theranos would have just been "another" failed startup, and Holmes would have been given another chance with more VC money to try again with a fresh idea.
MagicLeap is a perfect example of what Nikola will probably end up as. Raising tons of money to do something new, and dropping the ball on it. I remember reading an early article on Magic Leap about how they figured out how to make something float in mid air, no one is calling on the SEC to investigate them... MagicLeap did some really interesting things, just nothing that consumers can actually use (YET!)
