I will not stop talking about HBO’s failure to sell its shows to anyone who doesn’t have a TV and cable and HBO on that cable.
I want to pay money for Girls and Veep and Sorkin’s new show, without paying money for ESPNs One through Ocho.
The technology exists and is robust. HBO’s competitors use it. I pay Netflix for Breaking Bad, I pay Amazon for Archer, let me pay someone a reasonable price for HBO.
Yes.
Upgraded Advertisement of the Day: Nobody honestly believes that the joke Siri told John Malkovich in Apple’s latest iPhone commercial was funny, so Slacktory has given it a major upgrade with a play on one of the all-time classics.
(Sorta not safe for work, iPhones doing dirty, depraved things.)
Well, that’s pretty sweet…
“Siri tells John Malkovich a better joke” by Alex Moschina
This is my favorite Slacktory video in the last couple weeks. This is a great retelling of a classic joke.
Fact: watching this on repeat for two hours is cheaper and more rewarding than going to see The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel.

So I was reading this article in The Journal of International Finance and Economics (because that’s how I roll), and I stumbled upon this paragraph that I couldn’t quite understand:
“But when the investor faces to will invest environment sex in the future not and indeed, again how can distinguish analysis the difference of bull market and bear market, past again by making to have another and making an empty operation in the meantime performance it, that is, be index sign is high in 80, then the selling holds and makes the operation of short selling, being index sign is low in 20, repair to return to the empty short selling made and make to buy to hold much, its results performance as follows Table 2.”
I’m really hoping the article was just poorly translated (the author is Chinese) - otherwise I guess I don’t get technical finance jargon. And if the latter is the case, I may have to rethink my career in financial copywriting.
