Reply to comment by mandyama in Aggregate measure of financial misreporting for nearly 2,000 companies in the U.S. suggests that the collective probability of fraud across major companies is the highest in over 40 years by marketrent
I can tell you that the regulations and amount of work increases, but the pay stagnated. This has trickled down to fewer accounting grads entering public accounting to audit these companies. At the same time, the number of accounting grads has declined as other careers like data science have become more attractive and intellectually challenging for students. The AICPA is trying to change the CPA format to attract more candidates, but I see that as a stalling tactic instead of addressing the true cause for the drop in new accounting grads.

Even the Wild West had more gun laws than some states do now.

I’ve seen this in practice at a number of companies. I’m honestly not even so worried about the public companies, it’s the private ones that really spook me.
It’s so unbelievably easy to lie with accounting if you aren’t obsessive about making everything fit together correctly. And I honestly don’t think most small company controllers out there know where to start.
20% haircut on inventory and fixed assets doesn’t even begin to fix what I’ve seen out there.

Reply to The Language of Fake News by JWGrieve
This is a fascinating article. I'm not a linguist, but was able to follow their arguments.
My (admitted non-practitioner) criticism is that their analysis looks at the corpus of only one writer. They pick up significant differences in language use between true articles and articles where it is known the writer was intending to deceive. What's not clear is whether this difference is larger or smaller than the obvious differences in language use between authors. If smaller, their technique is only useful for analyzing the body of work of an individual, but isn't that useful for checking whether texts from a different author are deceptive.

This is pretty interesting. I wonder if this will foster any trials regarding fecal transplants for MS. Or what a potential fix for reducing the epsilon toxins production rate could be.

Recent research offers both bad and good news on the issue.
Two separate studies from the same researcher found that firearms deaths involving preschool-aged children had increased at an alarmingly high rate in the United States in the past decade, but state laws may help curb shooting deaths among young children.
"Firearms are among the top causes of death for American children now, and no other industrialized nation has such high rates of firearm deaths," said researcher Jagdish Khubchandani, a professor of public health at New Mexico State University.
In the first study, published in the Journal of Community Health, Khubchandani and co-author James Price from the University of Toledo tracked changes in firearm death trends in preschool children from 2010 to 2020.
The study found that 1,220 children were shot and killed during that period. Firearm death rates among preschoolers increased by 75%.
About 66% of all firearm deaths in preschool children were homicides, 30% were unintentional deaths and 4% were undetermined, according to the study.
Homicides caused the most firearm deaths among white children, 61%; Black children, 65%; and Hispanic children, 81%.
"The data indicates that the worsening epidemic of firearm violence is not just limited to youth and adults, it is also affecting very young children," Khubchandani said in a university news release. "Our findings show that since the past decade, we have been losing almost 10 children every month due to firearm injuries. To prevent this problem, we will need inter-sectoral approaches, with participation from families, health care providers and policymakers."

Well, assuming an elephant weight of 10,000lb, the sun weighs approximately 4.385 septillion elephants. This black hole then would equal the mass of 1.3155x10^37 elephants, or 13,155,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, AKA 13.155 Undecillion elephants.
Hope this helps.

they monitor the lines constantly. they can detect changes in quality of service. that's how they detect them. the equipment is already in place doing what it's supposed to do, they just interpreted the data differently and used it for something else. it's pretty cool actually.
