"New York Mag’s Boy Genius Investor Made It All Up" and New York mag is sorry on its front page so props for that, at least. If you hadn't heard about any of this, you're doing it right.
The lesson? Americans are apparently OK with torture.
Of others.
You know what can be torturous sometimes?: Online comments.

I have an ifttt recipe that puts all the links on a spreadsheet to make this easier and that's the reason I'm writing these: To see if I can eventually make sense of what I push out on a daily basis.
