Excerpt from Bloomberg -- "I think the transparency is a big plus. Think of it this way, by being transparent they condition us to anticipate their behavior. We know the things that drive them, whether it's strong growth or rising inflation, we know what changes their policy, we know that when they're running a very accommodating policy, they are going to be uncomfortable with it if the economy is already doing well, they are going to want to get back to something like normal. Because we know that, we can anticipate it and it shows up in market prices long before they act."

Excerpt from Bankrate -- "'Banks are in a hard place because they tend not to be the innovators in financial technology, they’re just not set up to do that,' Dhar says. 'They’re basically doing what they absolutely need to do, and a lot of their budgets get taken up just by that.'"

Excerpt from The New York Times -- "Uber, which arrived in New York in 2011, has been known for its aggressive tactics and for pushing boundaries. But Mr. Sundararajan said the idea of rolling out another “de Blasio view” feature would undermine the company’s attempt to show that it had grown up. 'I don’t think that kind of response would be consistent with Uber’s attempt to remake its image and project the image of a more mature company,' he said."

Excerpt from CNBC -- "...It's a supernova business model and I don't see it slowing down. And by the way, I am not a fan of Facebook. I think this was punishment for a series of half-measures and weak leadership about some of the very real issues they faced and the market had some pent up fury that they unleashed last night on Facebook."

Excerpt from CNBC -- "'You find it overvalued but you cannot bet against it because this is a disruption machine,' [Damodaran] said. 'I'm not even sure what business the company is in anymore.

Excerpt from Forbes -- "Visit a Whole Foods or the newer 365 Store, the chain’s answer to Trader Joe’s, and you will be inundated with messaging to join Amazon Prime. If you still haven’t joined Prime and shop at either chain, you will wish you did. The offers and messaging abound and are tantalizing. From the minute, you walk in the door, to the minute you sit down for a coffee or bite to eat, to your chat with the smiling produce guy who has 'Prime - Something to Smile About' emblazoned on his T-shirt, you can’t miss solicitations to join, whichever way you turn."

Excerpt from LifeHacker -- "I found that dividing the day into hours didn’t allow me to get everything done—I’d either set my expectations way too low or too high. The hour convention works well for groups who need to tell time, but I don’t think it works as well for productivity. For example, I learned that if I have 40 minutes rather than an hour to complete a task, I’m likely to focus and work harder."

Excerpt from Business Insider -- "There's a lot we can do as individual consumers, but also I think the major solutions should reside with the companies that push us to use email for example, and with governments which have a power to intervene to some extent. Different countries are much more tuned in to this than others."

Excerpt from The Washington Times -- "Mr. Sylla and Mr. Cowen have put together a fascinating examination of Hamiltonian economics.

Excerpt from the Financial Times -- "Mr Eggers recommends Oryx & Crake, a lesser known work by Margaret Atwood, whose novel The Handmaid’s Tale has been adapted for television.

Excerpt from Los Angeles Times -- "A bankruptcy specialist is skeptical as well.

It’s definitely a signal, a very bad signal, as to their financial condition. It seems like a desperation play.'"

Excerpt from Pensions & Investments -- "David Yermack, professor at the New York University Stern School of Business, said whether an ICO qualifies as a security has a lot to do with the motivation of the purchaser. Many ICOs are 'utility tokens' that are meant to provide access to a particular online platform or service, he said."

Excerpt from BBN Times -- “To avoid further increases in the income and wealth inequality that stem from the sustained concentration of capital over the past 50 years, we must aim for a future of crowd-based capitalism in which most of the workforce shifts from a full-time job as a talent or labor provider to running a business of one—in effect a microentrepreneur who owns a tiny slice of society’s capital."

Excerpt from Innovation & Technology -- "If you were to study both Dean Kamen and Steve Jobs, you would say, 'These are both pretty weird guys.' They’re also people who very strongly decided, 'The rules all the rest of you are playing by don’t apply to me.'"

Excerpt from Medium -- "I see mentorship as a key ingredient to professional and personal development. I would have benefited from exposure to near-peer females who were working in technology. Also, I needed a coach to help me through the everyday challenges of working in a majority-male environment. Having a mentor early on could have helped me build stronger leadership amongst my male peers, and select professional development opportunities to facilitate my professional growth."

Excerpt from Forbes -- "The most egregious valuation mistake that I see investment professionals make is mistaking pricing for valuation. Most investment professionals don’t do valuation, they do pricing. What I mean by that is that you price a number to a stock based on what other people are paying for similar stocks. Any time you use a multiple comparable you’re not valuing the company, you’re pricing a company."

Excerpt from Consumer Reports -- "'Many people don’t pay close attention when selecting the fund, and they find it easier to round off to zero rather than five,' says study co-author Xiao Liu, an assistant professor of marketing at NYU who focuses on consumer decision-making."
