Currently looking for Project Management or customer facing roles. Experienced in client facing project/product management roles.

I see, so the criticism has more to do with Diamond not taking other factors into account. Thanks.

Haven't Jared Diamond's theories been thoroughly debunked?

Chicago is anything but a "small government" city. Chicago (and Illinois) is very much a "big government" city, so I don't understand your criticism.

Thanks for this, we are deploying our WISP in the next month or two.

According to Pew Research, as of 2015, ~126,000 prisoners (state & federal) were held in private prisons[1]. As best I can tell, there are/were 2.2 million prisoners in the U.S. at the time. So about 5.7% of the prison population.

The SEC Chairman released a statement this morning about cryptos & ICOs. There is a mention of how an ICO can fall outside of the securities designation in the memo.

Very much appreciated!

Curious if you have any source links for banks pulling out. It seems like smart risk management to back off supporting a BTC futures contract right now.

You might want to check out Webpass, which is now owned by Google Fiber. They can and do deliver high speed internet. Webpass specifically targets dense population centers.

"are you just saying this to baselessly discredit advocates of net neutrality?"

Let's not jump the gun here, I clearly stated that I do not know the intentions of advocates. I haven't heard of any legislation in congress, but that doesn't mean there isn't any.

I don't trust the FCC, Aijit Pai is actively calling for removing power from the FCC. I trust this specific act of the current FCC chair, I don't trust the FCC.

Laying cable isn't the only way to deliver internet service. Wireless ISPs are a thing.

net neutrality isn't an essential component, the invocation of Title II is. This is what I think the comment you are replying is trying to say. I don't know what the intent of net neutrality advocates is, but the invocation of Title II puts far too much power in the hands of a historically corrupt & repressive agency.

Personally I am ambivalent about net neutrality. I, however, am deeply opposed to the existence of Title II, let alone it being used to regulate the internet. If advocates want net neutrality to be the governing policy of the internet why don't they advocate for specific legislation that does only that and doesn't give the FCC the ability to become a heavy handed regulator of ISPs?

I question whether either of these guys have a good understanding of AI.

People usually pay fees for using ATMs outside their banks network (some banks join broader networks in order to offer more ATM locations to their customers.)

How is Vanguard a ponzi scheme?

Probably not, unless they are claiming it's a product of Arkansas. Like your example above about Italian sausage, it's a categorization of style of food, not a product from a specific locale.

Are you talking about the outlawing of railroad rate rebates or the break up of the company?

Just as an FYI (and apologies if you are already aware of this), but Standard Oil had already lost about ~25% of it's market share by the time it was broken up. Rockefeller had no influence in Texas and California where the wildcatters had moved to and found oil.

Why?

Assuming the price doesn't open at 109, maybe. The deal might still fail for a variety of reasons and then you are stuck with the stock and may or may not have to take a loss. If you are new to trading, I would say step away from event driven trading strategies. Understand trading first before playing this approach.

That's not common knowledge to me, especially since I don't live in California. You have asserted certain claims and offer no evidence. "Common knowledge" isn't evidence.

Are you going to back up any of your claims?

Not sure what service your friend uses for gifting his electronics to African countries, but I believe most electronics are sent to Ghana then burned for various metals.

I wouldn't avoid opportunities because of the complexity of the tax system. Ask around for good accountants, they won't be as expensive as you think. Consider paying an accountant as a necessary cost of doing business.

In the U.S. there aren't 13 fiber ISPs in any market. These are the markets grahamburger is talking about. Here, stateside, there is not a lot of competition among ISPs.

You are confusing speculating with investing for retirement.

That is due to the amount of leverage used in retail FX trding. Most people don't understand how leverage works, let alone the negative impact it can have on a trading account.
