    Tesla driver killed in crash while using car's 'Autopilot'

    Will be interesting to see what comes out of this. What is Tesla's liability? Would the accident still have happened if the human were driving? Sounds like the truck was at fault but these types of questions are what people will be asking as self-driving cars begin to take over

    Lost Money Trading but Now I Owe $2Million in Tax

    This is a common problem back in the day when brokers reported only sales not cost basis on the 1099B. If you don't file a 1040, the IRS assumes $0 cost basis. The moral of the story is, you always have to file whenever you receive a 1099 $6000 seems like a lot of money to solve a pretty...

    What a let down. I expected SPX to fall 6% and VIX to reach 35.

    Never made more than $14k/ year retired with $70M

    Today is 64 years later not 54. In any case, that article was from 1991.

    70 points down gap in the ES....

    Lots of noobies here? Don't you remember 3-5% gap downs were common from Oct 2008-March 2009. It also happened after Sept 11.

    One for the ages: I owe Etrade $106k, ouch.

    This "whole event" is probably more than one guy losing $100k. A large broker like Etrade likely had multiple shorting KBIO, assuming they allowed it in the first place (which I'm still hesitant to believe).

    One for the ages: I owe Etrade $106k, ouch.

    I was going to donate $1 so I could send a personal message to him telling him what an idiot he is, but he's no longer taking donations. Btw, KBIO has no options so you can't hedge a short with options. I'm still incredulous that Etrade allowed this. It does seem it's a scam

    The SSD Endurance Experiment... (they're all dead now)

    Some SSD manufacturers bundle drive-cloning software with their drives. I've used Intel's and AOMEI to copy onto new SSD's. But beware that the cloned drive may not be 100% functional as the old drive. You may get some weird, unexplainable behavior from certain programs. I found the only way...

    The NFL banned the genius formation the Patriots fooled the NFL with in the playoffs

    When the punter takes the snap, the defense isn't expecting him to pass the ball. Maybe you want the league to ban passes by punters too?

    The NFL banned the genius formation the Patriots fooled the NFL with in the playoffs

    The Pats tried that "trick" formation other times during the regular- & post-season and were mostly unsuccessful. Sounds like the Ravens were just unprepared. Maybe the league should also ban trick plays where the punter throws a pass because some team isn't ready for it.
