>>there has to be something beyond "consensual relationship with subordinate"
Yeah, he put a knife to her throat, no doubt. (sarcasm, OK?) She complained, said x, y and z and her word is taken at face value today. Plus, simply by dating her, he clearly violated Google's employment policies, probably a firing offense.
Do you think that all the actresses that are complaining today were unwilling participants? For a lot of them things didn't work out as planned so whatever happened 20 years ago is now rape or sexual harassment.
Investors like him and Buffet see gold as something just sitting there. if you buy a company, they will increase earnings, market share etc.
Gold just sits on a vault--which is a great thing for rich people to use a small % of their wealth for. Just in case.
Gold has other uses and a 5000+ year history. Compare it to hundreds of coins out there
Missed my point: First it is only fair. You cause problem for our Google and Facebook expect the same. That's fairness and economic patriotism. Not to mention that Google and Facebook "own" or can own US Congress and Senate. Hearings will start in days.
I believe that in authoritarian regimes you have ZERO choice or recourse. See Russia or Al-Waleed in Saudi Arabia. They will simply shut you down, break you in a gazillion pieces.
In USA you have courts at least. Have you noticed that Google is pushing encryption all over the web to make NSA's job harder or impossible? Let Alibaba or TenCent help thwarting FSB or China's security services
I think the headline is right. Any bitcoin owners best transfer to me whatever they have, just in case.
In all seriousness: The govt wants its taxes. We're talking HUNDREDS of billions now in coin value, not millions. Sure they are traceable, but at what cost? They can't pay $100K in fees to run blockchain audits to see if what you declared was correct or not...
USA has made virtually every bank in the world spend gazillions to report every account opened by a US person, Bitcoin is probably a walk in the park compared to that.
Well it worked for them, they're worth at least $50B (Softbank wants to buy shares at that price.)
They might have to pay a few billion in fines or damages but that's all. New CEO will apologize and we'll forget it. And that is because they got caught...
Not defending them, just saying in many cases these tactics work.
Yes...eventually. Not the first obviously. Accidents do happen but like airplane crashes the self-driving ones will hit the news, ignoring the xxxx driver car accidents that week /month...
>>Profs are peaking at under $200k, the vast majority well under $100k. Contrast that with Comms directors making $250k.
Comms directors provide more immediate returns, namely fundraising and spinning. However, top professors can write their ticket just to say they're there and earn a fortune on the side.
Who knows, maybe they'll end up doing a different #3, put the cash in their pocket, while creators get paid with funny money. Lotsa scams as people try to catch the next bitcoin
>>Gawker, which had covered his political activities negatively and outed him as gay in 2007
I know it's not good for free pres when a billionaire funds whatever lawsuit he can find against you, but outing someone, is really, really sleazy. So I guess they're even. Kinda.
>>Regardless of what you think of the Koch brothers, this appears to be a mundane deal sensationalized by the specter of the Koch brothers.
Of course, until 5 years from now, they simply frown their faces about an article and editors get the message.
Maybe it is like you said, maybe it will end like this:
https://www.theguardian.com/media/2005/dec/12/newscorporatio..."I picked up the phone and called Murdoch and said that I was speaking not as a shareholder, but as a viewer of Fox. I said that these are not Muslim riots, they are riots," Campaign Middle East magazine quoted the prince as saying.
"He investigated the matter and called Fox and within half an hour it was changed from 'Muslim riots' to 'civil riots'."
That's what keeps Zuck awake, I'm sure (sarcasm.) Buy ads if you want to get your point across. The fact that "everyone" uses FB is a badge of honor, a goal everyone tries to reach.
Get $3.5m and give away $1.3m. You'll have exactly what you asked for.
If you get atop job, salary plus options you could do it. Of course, unless you spend it.
