For anyone who is really looking to understand how the stock market works, I would recommend picking up a copy of "Trading and Exchanges: Market Microstructure for Practitioners" by Larry Harris.

Thanks for this informative post. I currently live in the Middle East and was just about to pick these up last night - but I was under the wrong impression they were the same as European truffles.

Imagine you are paranoid and you suspect someone is deceiving you. The reality of whether or not they are actually deceiving you does not have an impact on how much pain you feel. Alternatively, someone with a mental condition that leads th

Out of curiosity, what are you fighting Amazon about on this? (full disclosure: I work on Alexa, but not on the team that handles skills)

Cool! I use one of your competitors, Fax Fresh. One thing I like about them is that they clearly state they delete the fax from their servers once it's sent. I couldn't find such a statement in your privacy policy (though maybe I

Hi there! Sorry I didn't get a chance to reply to this earlier. So my basic response to that is "it depends". I have previously been in a different team at Amazon and that team definitely had much less room for slack. If you

"Amazon is a sweatshop" I wouldn't agree with this broad generalization. I work in Alexa and the work environment on my team is pretty awesome. Lots of freedom to try new things, good work life balance, and generally a high

Not sure I'd call myself financially literate, but I do have an MBA and computer science degree for whatever that's worth. The short answer to that is it's necessary to encourage people to invest. $10,000,0000 is only a meani

Serious question about point #1: I've thought about contacting local manufacturers, but I don't know where to find people such as yourself. Do you also get discovered through Alibaba or is there some U.S. equivalent version of the

On #1, I will say that the finance and consulting people I know in Europe (particularly Germany, Switzerland, and the UK) seem to work just as hard as their U.S. counterparts. I don't see why entrepreneurship can't be the same.

If you think pricing is confusing at an American store, you should try figuring out how much anything in the American healthcare system is going to cost you. I've honestly gotten answers from doctors and staff that turned out to be off by a
