If I recall, both stock and option market makers were allowed to fail to deliver, which would typically be cheaper than cost of borrowing, which made it another good source of edge that was unavailable to non-market…
Great from a manufacturing perspective, but I wonder what repairability is going to be like. It seems like it will be a lot more likely to write off a whole car if the whole frame is one piece.
If you want to avoid crowds, the two busiest days for the courthouse we got married in are Thanksgiving Friday and the last Friday in December. There were six judges on the day we went - typically it’s handled by one…
The MAX is also known as the 737-8200. Now that the product recognition is working against it, I think we will see the forgettable name a lot more. At least in the US you can typically cancel a flight for free within…
This is something that keeps coming back to me either as a feature or as a product of some kind - a tool that can stop this from getting in our way. The simplest and safest would be to apply the formatter to both the…
The leveraged ETFs have a few extra footguns, don't they? Did you see that Direxion suddenly changed the ratios on a bunch of 3x down to 2x on March 31? Scary stuff to me.…
Picketing? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Picketing
I didn't realize until now that a Herc was an upgrade over a plain MDA card. I'd forgotten how many discrete chips there were and the size of the board! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hercules_Graphics_Card edit: The…
It seems like it’s essential right now at least. The Apple Watch has a hidden lightning port that I have never even seen.
IIRC, the fine for not filing a FATCA report is $100k. I’d guess anyone above a certain threshold risks having to pay the fine rather than declaring their accounts.
If you create a listing that competes with someone else’s high volume product you will get fake reviews claiming the product is expired. Multiple times this has happened on a brand new listing with no sales, before the…
I tried maybe 5 different kinds of mask until I found what worked. Interestingly, according to the supplier I get stuff from, the masks are all pretty much compatible between manufacturers so there is a lot of scope if…
Textbook rent-seeking.
You have to pay income tax on the 3% though right? Do you get a tax credit for the interest on the loan?
Netflix has edge caching deployed at "thousands of ISPs worldwide." https://media.netflix.com/en/company-blog/how-netflix-works-...
The future earnings have huge uncertainty to them. A company with a $50 stock price might have $5 per share worth of cash in the bank, (which is something you can actually observe.) The other $45 represents expected…
Your message will cost the net hundreds if not thousands of dollars to send everywhere.
This. For me, exercise is the gift that keeps giving. Caffeine works for a couple of days and then becomes a requirement. Any ongoing benefit is difficult to discern. There are other things that make a huge difference…
This is about how Stock/Aitken/Waterman thought about it. They wrote/produced more than 100 British chart hits in the eighties and nineties. http://z3.invisionfree.com/Madonna_Dot_Refugees/ar/t12695.ht...
The jitter introduced by garbage collection in a go implementation could well be significant, even with the new "never pause the mutator for more than 1ms" guarantee.
