<p>And in virtually all those cases, there's a link to the target's actions against something the terrorists hold dear.<p>Terrorist activity in India? Look to Kashmir.<p>In Russia? The Russians fought their own war on terrorism before we went into Afghanistan. In some ways going into Afghanistan diverted fighters streaming into Chechnya to fight the Russian army to Afghanistan. We gave them a target they hated more than they hated the Russians. From reports, many of the best fighters on the side of ISIS are Chechens.<p>The Russians, by the way, are still fighting terrorists.<p>And whether these wars are "internal affairs" or not is immaterial.</p>

<p>Missing in media reports about these things is the connection between action (our foreign military mis-adventures) and reaction (terrorist attacks).<p>About a month ago we celebrated the mother of all bombs that flattened what amounted to a small village in Afghanistan. We were told that it killed ONLY 90 terrorists, assuming the vast area it affected was inhabited only by the killed terrorists. Not a single civilian was killed, we were told.<p>The pilot and his crew are our heroes.<p>Somewhere there's an Afghan from that flattened area. Even if he doesn't subscribe to ISIS/Taliban ideology, he can't be too happy.<p>Most people in his position would feel that they have a score to settle. And when he has the opportunity, we don't make the connection.<p>He's a terrorist, but we have our heroes.<p>Sometimes I feel like crying, not for the dead (that won't help them), but for the rest of us still alive.</p>

<p><i>Sorry to digress, I should have stopped at the first paragraph.</i><p>No, it's good digression, and it brings back fun and painful memories, as I made and lost money at that time.<p>Trading on margin is something rookies should avoid. It's the easiest way to lose money.<p>The thing I don't understand is this noise about shorting being unethical. You have more to lose than anybody in the game, and you're not breaking any rules.</p>

<p>My co-founder found me, via the local local tech Meetup scene where I participate actively in.<p>Attending local tech Meetup events is a great way to network and meet others with similar interests.<p>If you interested, it also pays to make postulates, positive affirmations for life to send you the right co-founder.<p>People use such methods to find the right personal relationships, but it works just as well in the business realm.</p>

<p>But this is new territory, and researchers shouldn't give up just because it doesn't work very well now.<p>I recall that the iPhone/iPad were preceded by attempts at tablet computing that were very crude in comparison.<p>Give it a couple of years and see where it leads.</p>
