Don't pay enough and a shit working environment.
The rest make larger gross margins, so they can afford not to treat their employees like a massive cost center.

They just didn't do the groundwork.
And I'm sure copying maps is illegal.
Place information? Hmmm. Maybe it should be too.
A kilo of meat uses many times its weight in water, grain and fuel to produce. The same goes for many manufactured goods, my device included.
But domestic electricity usage of a computer? Yeah, that's immaterial and makes the point poorly.
Domestic energy use is in no way comparable to industrial use which comprises the vast majority of the contribution to global warming, specifically factory farming, heavy industry and transportation.
Plenty of white hats have gone down for reporting publicly.
People are insulated from those times. When those diseases don't seem so scary anymore, people start to worry about what they're getting injected with. Teaching people about how vaccines work seems to be one solution, but another one is a horrifying outbreak that shocks people.
The growing anti-vax movement is a danger to everyone, and they're a powder keg ready to explode.
Utterly ludicrous.
The government needs software like Palantir. So I think they're on par with say Lockheed.
For example, being unethical at say a chemical company will lead to the end of your company in that area after a catastrophe. Being unethical at a payment processor and the worse that can happen is someone doesn't get paid on time or at all. So in that situation dumping the customer complaints saved a bunch of resources at little cost, since the customers would be back, PayPal was pretty good compared to their competition, leading to them out executing eBay and getting acquired.
I AM NOT saying that I agree with this. I'm just thinking about the why behind it.
> Speculation about Milchan's involvement in arms dealing and intelligence activities was sparked after the indictment in 1985 of Dr. Richard Kelly Smyth, an aerospace executive and scientist who had made illegal shipments of Krytrons (nuclear triggers) through one of Milchan's companies.
...
> "at least through the mid-1980s [Milchan] was a full-fledged operative for Israel’s top-secret intelligence agency, Lakam. His activities included "buying components to build and maintain Israel’s nuclear arsenal" and supervising "government-backed accounts and front companies that financed the special needs of the entirety of Israel’s intelligence operations outside the country.". Interviewed regarding Milchan's intelligence activities, Israeli President Shimon Peres stated: "Arnon is a special man. It was I who recruited him.... When I was at the Ministry of Defense, Arnon was involved in numerous defense-related procurement activities and intelligence operations. His strength is in making connections at the highest levels.... His activities gave us a huge advantage, strategically, diplomatically and technologically."

He's a multi-billionaire Hollywood producer nowadays (Argo, Fight Club, etc.)
Ah the windfalls of state backing.
Until it doesn't.
Well, they definitely aren't capitalist.
By your definition everything is technical analysis.
Which makes your definition useless.
In opinions we trust? What kind of a trader are you?
> I have been a trader for 15 years, I have seen "go all in on a bunch of calls" absolutely working and I have seen it failing.
That sentence is basically void of content.
> I have given you a specific example where TA does work, so it can't all be bullshit right?
No. You could give me an example of homeopathic medicines used shortly before someone goes into remission.
That doesn't mean that cures cancer.
I can also say that using the times bulls shit in Colorado to predict stock prices is bullshit. That once again does not mean that I think EMT holds. It just means that the technique I called out has no predictive value.

> The military is innately hierarchical, yet it nurtures a camaraderie in part because the military looks after its employees. This is a rare enclave of single-payer universal health care, and it continues with a veterans’ health care system that has much lower costs than the American system as a whole.

I'm surprised this isn't obvious to most people.
I also find libertarian soldiers extremely amusing.
Like most things in life, technical analysis is bullshit.
> There are real inefficiencies in the market which can be highlighted by TA. TA can also be considered a form of Statistical Arbitrage and vice versa.
Stat arb is not what is commonly known as technical analysis. They are distinct.
> A simple example: There are many traders out there using TA, if sufficient numbers of them start following the same signals then real market impact occurs. You can use TA to establish what signals they are using and then front run them. This shows that TA has real power in some circumstances and there are many more out there.
Keynesian beauty contests do not provide consistent alpha. If they did, we'd see fewer VCs flame out.
The fact that line even has to be used is a massive red flag.
> overwhelming statistical confidence for each of the patterns using the data set of all S&P 500 stocks daily for the five year period 1992-1996.
And tech VCs investing in anything from 1995-2000 were positive with an overwhelming statistical confidence that their portfolios were anything but randomly chosen.
> In the United States, socialism is virtually nonexistent.
Except for Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security and Unemployment.
And don't forget the military.
A free and complete guide to bullshit is just bullshit.
Technical analysis is a farce.
