CL is not cash settled, it is physical delivery. It is traded on NYMEX.

Kind of orthogonal, but I’ve often faced pushback from Product Managers when trying to future proof a feature that I’m going to ship. The pushback is usually “oh, there’s no way our customers will ever need that!”. Only until many years lat

It's really odd that this bug occured, as IB has no issue pricing credit spreads with negative values. Must be an issue specific to commodities futures contracts. I wonder what data types they were using.

Manned spaceflight and stations are unnecessary in the near term. Autonomous drones and machines can bootstrap colonization. A mining refinery can be bootstrapped easily, all remotely. Then asteroid mining droids will drop their payloads th

Keybase was useless for the most part anyway. It became a vehicle to airdrop and shill shitcoins. Anyone saying it was some kind of bastion of user privacy is being overly nostalgic.

They tried that in Waco. Didn’t work out so well for them. It turns out that you can’t really escape the tyranny of the government. Might as well suck it up, and have strong property rights. At least that is a check on government tyranny.

Those indicators are provided by the government itself. And even if you believe those clearly doctored numbers, there is a cause for concern. Particularly with the amount that’s being added to the money supply daily . It’s not sustainable.

Something has to change. There is no reason why every tech company shouldn’t have a permanent WFH policy. Let people live further out from cities. It’s 2020, why are we still working like it’s the 1950s?

The Fed can’t keep money printing forever. You’ll see.

Why not install Alpine Linux? It follows the principle of minimalism and doesn't have a lot of package bloat, like a lot of .deb based distributions.

Fair enough. When I worked for Apple, I would often take a gander at the iOS source code. There was a lot of legacy stuff in there, as in, "do not modify this method, we don't know what it does" in comments. There were certai

Problem is legacy software tends to use XML. iOS can be considered legacy at this point. Plists are prevalent at every level of iOS.

The auto industry has been imploding in general. You were a fool if you longed TSLA. I didn’t and am very bearish on it.

No, it tanked because we’re in a bear market and there is a massive recession in progress. Who’s gonna buy a Tesla?

Many people want it. It took over a week for my ACH transfer to be confirmed by my brokerage. There’s a reason why people pay for wire transfers.

There seems to be a lot of flattening and smoothing going on, not unlike the art style of anime characters with no discernible nose.

In declarative programs you specify what the program is. In imperative programs you specify what the program should do. I don’t really see the overlap.

If it's an ultralight, why do you need an ICE? All of this will add weight and impede your ability to glide.

Now it is more important than ever to choose alternatives for YouTube. Vote with your wallet by refusing to use their platform, or if you do, use adblocking so they bleed financially.

Even if the Fed nationalized every US company, the interest rate would skyrocket in the corporate debt market. It actually makes things worse. No creditor will want to touch those bonds, hence the interest rate naturally increases to entice

On the whole this resolution isn’t as radical as you might think. Let’s say DC got flooded and you can’t access any of the Congressional buildings. It’s to address scenarios like that.

It depends on your risk tolerance. If you're hedged with a long put on a decent time horizon, I don't think you have much to worry about, as you're locking in a price in case the REIT falls significantly. Your max loss is cap

> I would be very concerned about trusting my money with a financial institution who seems to have a tendency to skirt, bend, and outright break the laws. You mean like all of them? You seem to have some kind of axe to grind.

In your example, you could just add one extra page which critiques the entire series and that would fall under fair use. You could literally put “After reading these books it’s shit and the writer is a hack”. Totally fair game.

They will do the same thing homeowners will do; not pay. I hope nobody on here owns munis or bank stocks. Or REITs.
