'Investment' banking has little to do with investments. The food must be cooked and assembled by an actual store employee. Most "celebrity" poker players are relatively bad at poker.
Black boxes aren't black. I have unrestricted & unmonitored access to databases that contain name, address, email, password, and salary information for 200k+ people.

Whatever Quora is, somebody went through this and cherry picked the top rated comments. Really scraping the bottom of the barrel, here.
