It is about credit risk. A newly formed corporation has no credit history, and is thus an unknown risk. Therefore, a bank will require some kind of collateral or co-sign. Once a corporation, large or small, builds up a credit history, they may be able to leverage that to get credit on their own.
The implication is that the little investor loses out on his rightful chance to screw the other guy. The people who hate HFT are the same ones who bitch and moan when someone at a blackjack table "steals" their card by hitting when they shouldn't.
I agree. My high school math teacher and I did not mesh well, but he knew that to get good at something, you have to practice it. The bastard collected problem sets out of old textbooks, and would just hand out piles of them every night. His stated goal was to assign approx. an hour of homework every night. I got consistently poor grades in his classes, even flunking one year, because his teaching style didn't mesh with my learning style. (*) But I'll be damned if I can't still do relatively advanced mathematics by rote, 20 years later.
Look at something like reading english. It isn't all that hard to teach someone how to read, and once they learn the basics of it, they pretty much can read any word they know. So they should be competent at it by say, age 7. But they aren't good at it, it's not second nature yet. It takes years and years of practice until they can read well.
(*) His way of teaching (and learning, I assume) was verbal/written. I needed to be shown "how it worked". I didn't understand one damned thing about trigonometry until, as an aside in an A+ training class, the instructor explained the reason why modems were speed limited. "Wait, what?! Trig isn't just circles and angles that I have to memorize?? It's just waves? Christ." It's not that I needed my hand to be held, just that I needed a frame of reference. What am I doing when I do such and such.
Bullshit. The school system cannot operate on the assumption that parental involvement is guaranteed. Schools were invented because parents (as a group) aren't qualified to educate children.
Even the best teacher in the world can't overcome a set of parents who are indifferent to their child's academic growth.
More bullshit. You hear stories all the time about teachers who open children's eyes and give them the spark of curiosity that feeds their lifelong intellectual development. Especially from kids whose home lives weren't particularly encouraging.
Teachers don't seem to like to acknowledge it anymore, but their jobs are to overcome the ignorance of parents.
The guaranteed minimum isn't a lot for one person, but when they band together into households, the money starts to build up. What generally happens is that one or two people work to provide spending money, and the rest go on the dole to provide the housing and food money. I wouldn't call it comfortable, but it is tolerable. And it lessens the incentive to go out and find work. Not just because all the basic needs are met, but because your lazy fucking family is going to sap up all your resources.
Star Trek explains away the humanness of all the aliens by introducing a proto race that seeded the galaxy with its DNA. We are all similar because we are all distantly related.
Avoiding saturated fats is probably what caused it. Our bodies are made of fat and protein. We need to eat it to maintain the body. Also, excess vitamin K in the veggies isn't good either.

There is no steel in hard drives.
The opposed magnets on the voice coil kill almost all of the magnetic flux. And the platters are high coercivity.
They still float, just on a microscopic level.
RAID cards are great when they work. And when they fail.... well...
I'd much rather depend on ZFS.
When they fail, you replace them.
Who cares? Gamblers' money is just as green.
It only becomes worthless if you sell it, genius.
So the reason not to use computer algorithms for trading is so that other people's computer algorithms don't get messed up?

Incorrect. Every short trade has a corresponding long trade. If the guy borrowing the stock loses money, the guy lending it makes money.
and how businesses are ran.
Should have spend a little more time in school to learn how English is spoke.
Hey dipshit, administrators are management and thus not in the teachers' union.
Teachers may only work 9 months and may only be paid 9 months, but the money they are paid is meant to be a year's worth.

I'm sorry you lost your job, dad.
Agree. Many so-called "skeptics" are just conservatives with a different set point for when perfection was achieved.
And you are confusing leadership with charisma.
Evolution is fuzzy.

Fuck over, you mean?
I seem to remember that 4% of european/whitey DNA can be traced to Neanderthal?
The torture of lesser creatures is delicious in any language.
