Bond prices go down when interest rates go up. As such, an investor who thinks that interest rates will go _up_ will reallocate from long-term bonds to short-term bonds, rather than the opposite as you stated.
Yah, but most of the awful things that ICE does (stealing children on purpose, deporting legal citizens through carelessness) happen to non-white people; and you're responding to somebody who cannot even _imagine_ having empathy for non-whites.
Having worked in Germany, London, and America, I feel as though America is far more racist than the other countries.
I understand your desire to pretend that the US is merely honest about a global belief, but that's not true. That's just some shit that racist people want to be true.
Racism in the US is stronger, more violent, and more vitriolic than it is is in other places. The other places aren't perfect, but America is a fucking cesspool filled with vile people.
BoorishBears is correct if and only if you are a mediocre talent and you seek a mediocre career.
If you have great talent and seek a great career, then a high GPA will make it substantially easier to get (and to pass) interviews at top-tier employers, and to get into the most competitive areas within those firms. This will, in-turn, have positive knock-on effects for your future career.
It is possible to succeed greatly with any GPA. It is much simpler with a good GPA.
I'll offer a good faith answer, even though I'm pretty sure you'll dismiss it as snarky condescension.
Point 1: Lyft's API comes with a contractual agreement regarding acceptable usage. Uber deliberately breached that agreement. This is a breach of property rights.
Point 2: They breached Lyft's property rights with the intent of stalking Lyft drivers, and of harming Lyft as an organization. This shows the breach of property rights was not neutral or positive, but rather was an activity meant to harm the property owner, and to reduce the competitive landscape.
Point 3: It was a clear violation of law. I include this last because law only loosely correlates with morality; however law draws the lines on the playing field and it is worth explicitly noting that Uber arranged for its employees to break federal law, repeatedly, for Uber's benefit.
If you don't think property rights are important, go talk with a Libertarian.
We've all agreed to things we didn't expect, because none of us are willing to invest thousands of dollars worth of our time to check the side effects of trivial transactions. Instead we make the rational decision to trust our counterparties and to hope they don't disappoint us too often.
This situation sucks, and is a new problem, which deserves a solution. Contracts have always existed, but bespoke contracts for each minor transaction are a new development.
Long-term, we have two choices. The first is that industry devises reasonable standards that simplify the process for end-users. The second is that government will devise standards and impose restrictions on us. I suggest we acknowledge the issue and work on a solution, instead of just insulting those who correctly identify the problem.
Also, SV has a lot of people who see nothing wrong with defrauding other people if it results in personal benefit.
There are a lot of people who would happily help others die if it makes them a billionaire. Elizabeth Holmes is such a person. Ian Gibbons was not. Ian knew it was all bullshit, couldn't get Elizabeth to stop risking people's lives, and he killed himself.
In a just world, Elizabeth Holmes would be spending life in prison. Her crimes far outstrip those of most "hardened" criminals.
I never thought I'd see somebody so broken and drenched in authoritarian Kool-Aid that they'd defend Spicey's multiple Hitler claims.
He's a professional communicator who, instead of just walking his comments back to say "Assad did something that Hitler also did, and it was unacceptably evil", he just dug in and kept arguing his dumb point.
You did not present any evidence of any of Norquist's argument.
The top federal income tax rate in the US occurred in 1944, and was 94%. At that point, the 1040 was substantially simpler than they are today, and there were far fewer other forms involved.
Since that point in time, filing has become increasingly complicated, but the tax rate has declined. If your "argument" had any merit, this would not be the case.
Grover Norquist purposefully steals hundreds of millions of hours of time and billions of dollars from Americans, every year, in the hope that we won't realize that he is actively making government less efficient, more burdensome, and worse.
If he wants to run an ad campaign, that's fine. But what he's doing right now is stealing time and money from every single American to push his agenda.
A judge and jury would struggle to use this unless it was very well-sourced, but as external observers who are attempting to make a best estimate, we certainly can.
Most good candidates are already employed, and don't want to take two weeks off to take a chance on a single interview.
As such, this sort of arrangement happens to some degree with students (it's why internships exist), and with some contractors, but it's not a generalizable solution.
1) If the suit is true, then it will almost certainly zero out the investors, and destroy the careers and fortunes of the executives.
2) Uber has a long history of keeping and promoting executives who lack integrity and show a willingness to break the law.
As such, it is reasonable to assume that Google is making a good faith effort to argue the strongest possible case on their side; and that Uber is likely to lie, cheat, and steal to make the strongest possible case on their side.
