For anybody looking into VATSIM and alternatives, the pros of PilotEdge are that there is guaranteed ATC staffing with paid ATC (not volunteers like on VATSIM), controllers are likely higher quality on average, and you…
The controller you're referring to is still very active in the Boston area, he's just "retired" from streaming.
Interestingly, in the US, for all its "optimistic" procedures, a controller isn't allowed to issue a conditional ("behind X") line-up-and-wait. But, if an arriving aircraft is still on the runway, a controller can clear…
While I 100% think the controller in this situation made a terrible judgement call and likely shouldn't be working planes anymore, it's worth noting that that there are very specific regulations on multiple planes using…
Halts are based on specific criteria and rules, they aren't arbitrarily imposed. See: https://www.nasdaqtrader.com/content/MarketRegulation/LULD_F...
That's not actually the point of this article. Many many lenders are not on good terms with their counterparties. Distressed debt and bankruptcy exist. And yet, I've never heard of another story of a bank accidentally…
I think people are missing the fact that the 3060 that NVIDIA is halving the hash rate on is not yet released. It is expected at the end of this month and different than the already-in-market 3060 Ti. The 3060 Ti was…
>Also, apparently Gamestop itself used the gain in stock price to settle some debts by being able to issue more stock to meet demand at the higher price, thus getting a cash infusion. False -- if you're going to spread…
> that extra 40% will fail to deliver, because those shares don't exist. That's only true if you force all shorts to be covered at once without a chain of trades. That's not how it happens. Person A covers their short…
In this scenario, Person C still owns the stock and will gain/lose with the stock's rise/fall. Person A borrowing from C at the end is just borrowing, not buying. At some point Person A needs to return stock to Person C.
Except you're completely conflating terms and numbers here. A stock can have over 100% short interest with no naked shorting occurring. >100% short interest DOES NOT imply that there is naked shorting.
Yes. I took the question as asking whether absolute revenue per unit was going down or absolute COGS per unit was going up (or both). Obviously there are different perspectives from which we can look at absolute and…
They also disclose units shipped (1.15MM in 2011, 2.32MM in 2012 and 3.85MM in 2013). A simple revenue/units calculation would imply that revenue per unit is increasing ($205 in 2011, $227 in 2012, $256 in 2013). This…
That was, and still is, the case where I went to school in New Hampshire. The decision to treat the body as a container is made at the state level, I believe (as the drinking age is determined by the individual states,…
Judo business strategy...what? You're telling me that you that motivation is a bigger asset to a few 20 year olds than all of the scale, capital and business experience of Walmart, and therefore you'd rather compete…
No, as of June 1 the company had $2.8B of cash, cash equivalents AND short-term investments (liquid securities). There's an additional $2.5B of accounts receivable on the balance sheet. You are correct that BBRY has…
That's not anticompetitive though, it's purely competitive. Amazon has better underlying economics (because it has deployed capital to build infrastructure) and therefore is able to offer the same service at a lower…
I'd be amazed if Dropbox had a 50% profit (net income) margin. It's likely that their gross margin is around there, but you still have to subtract SG&A and other expenses to get down to net income. If Dropbox pulls…
This used to be in their FAQ: Will someone steal my grand piano? Highly unlikely. Grand pianos weigh thousands of pounds and do not fit through doors.
