    Finance Industry Eyes Investment Opportunities in Venezuela
    Some on Wall Street are already considering possible investment opportunities in Venezuela following the capture of Nicolás Maduro,
    according to #Charles #Myers, chairman of consulting firm Signum Global Advisors and a former head of investment advisory firm Evercore.

    Myers said in an interview he is planning a trip to Venezuela with officials from top #hedge #funds and #asset #managers to determine whether there are investment opportunities in the country

  2. Can somebody point me towards a Myers diff algorithm in a C++ project?

    I am looking for the following data as diff result:

    1. (old) line number
    2. (old) column number
    3. (new) line number
    4. (new) column number.

    Need the above info so I can ask my text editor widget to highlight the line and column as to what was added/deleted.

    Please reboost for reach :)

  3. Funding for many of NOAA’s programs could plummet in 2025,

    and the agency already suffers from occasional telecommunications breakdowns, including a recent alert-system outage amid flooding in the Midwest.

    It is also subject to political pressures: In 2019, the agency backed then-President Trump’s false claim
    (accompanied by a seemingly Sharpie-altered map)
    that Hurricane Dorian was headed for Alabama

  4. Privatizing the weather is not a new conservative aim.

    Nearly two decades ago, when the National Weather Service updated its website to be more user-friendly,
    #Barry #Myers, then executive vice president of #AccuWeather, complained to the press that
    “we work very hard every day competing with other companies, and we also have to compete with the government.”

    In 2005, after meeting with a representative from AccuWeather, then-Senator #Rick #Santorum introduced a bill calling for the NWS to cease competition with the private sector, and reserve its forecasts for commercial providers.

    The bill never made it out of committee. But in 2017, #Trump picked #Myers to lead NOAA.

    (Myers withdrew his nomination after waiting two years for Senate confirmation.)

  5. On Tuesday, #Johnson & #Johnson became the latest drugmaker to take the Biden administration to federal court in an attempt to put a #halt to the #drug #pricing #program. Three other drug companies — #Merck, #Bristol #Myers #Squibb and #Astellas #Pharma — have filed their own lawsuits, as have the industry’s main trade group and the U.S. #Chamber of #Commerce.

    The suits make similar and overlapping claims that the drug pricing provisions are #unconstitutional. They are scattered in federal courts around the country — a tactic that experts say gives the industry a better chance of obtaining #conflicting #rulings that will put the legal challenges on a fast track to a business-friendly #Supreme #Court.

  6. #introduction #Nerd, #engineer, #programmer, #writer, #artist, #musician. I'm told I have an odd sense of humor. I enjoy older computer and test/lab #electronics. I do #repairs and #restorations. I'm currently playing a LOT of Diablo Immortal. I'm semi-retired. I live with my #dogs near #Seattle, WA USA. I'm told I'm highly intelligent and occasionally I believe it. I deal with #depression and #anxiety. I'm a true #introvert and an INFJ/INTJ on #Myers-Briges should that mean anything to you.
