The same spreadsheet also contains race and gender data for each worker, although unlike the Sony Pictures files, names are not attached to the salary information.

CyberTrader to be dumped - Austin Business Journal Jun 24, 2007  

San Francisco-based Schwab, one the nation's largest discount brokers with 6.9 million accounts, bought CyberTrader in 2000 for $488 million. 
Over the past seven years, Schwab has taken the trading technology the CyberTrader team developed -- such as streaming market information and analytical tools -- into its fold and made it available to Schwab clients. All the while, CyberTrader and Schwab have been operating under separate broker-dealer licenses. When the integration is complete, all of those clients will be served under Schwab's license, making for a more efficient operation, Phillips says.

Ameritrade and E*Trade are the nation's only publicly traded online brokerages."

Nine surprisingly simple tips from 20 experts about how to lose weight and keep it off - Vox  

1) There really, truly is no one "best diet" CORRECT, EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT 
2) People who lose weight are good at tracking — what they eat and how much they weigh 
3) People who lose weight identify their barriers and motivations 
4) Diets often fail because of unreasonable expectations 
5) People who lose weight know how many calories they're consuming — and burning 
6) There are ways to hack your environment for health 
7) Exercise is surprisingly unhelpful for weight loss 
8) Weight loss medications aren't very useful. Neither are "metabolism boosting" supplements. 
9) Forget about "the last 10 pounds"
