"That's why almost all European/Japanese brand cars are 30+ years old over there" This is just completely incorrect. Most of European and Japanese cars are not 30+ years old in the US.

Those are particular people. Not the US government's actual policy.

But how practical is this? If the next village over is planning on attacking your village. Is creating a weapon for defense still "treason against humanity"?

Navy thought the same thing. And they already have this (e.g., mine that has a torpedo).

A version of this already exists (for awhile). It is a mine that sits at the bottom of the ocean and then launches a torpedo.

There is a similar but different product (without the downside protection). A fund manager can replicate the index with derivatives and overlay their alpha on top of it. Google “alpha overlay” or “portable alpha” for more info. These types

SP500 had not returned 10% a year historically. And really would want to look at returns above the cash rate. And the SP500 has had unusually good performance relative to other equity indexes. Would not count on that forever.

You would make money because the other tools in use at the time were much worse and people were pricing options poorly. So plenty of opportunities. Hence why Ed thorp did well. It will not work today. For starters, it makes a bunch of simpl

I don't think this has to be incorrect. Or that your "unless the age distribution...." needs to be true either. Everyone eventually dies. When that happens, as things currently stand, it will be a 2.5% chance the cause will b

"I have my fingers crossed that they can learn to target yachts specifically." "Yachts" here look like moderately sized sail boats. Doesn't look like this is rich people's super yachts if that is what you are g

This is good work. Are there examples of sites that have used your library? There weren't any links on your website.

Aegis is a particular system. Not a generic term for these systems. I don't believe UK ships used it.

I would put aside statistics and whether we completely understand how the economy works (we don't). Just ask...are there are very fundamental differences between the finances of an individual and the government? There are. For starters

Stanford is a big place. Would not disregard all the work from anyone connected just because of something the president did.

"Purely conjecture, but somehow I suspect that private equity has crunched the numbers and decided it's time to milk this one dry." They are a public company at this point. Not a fan of PE but no need to blame them for everyt

"every generation does not need to learn the ravages of war." Would not be so sure of that. I suspect the "great generation" has a lot better understanding about the value of peace than more recent generations.

It would likely only work if the instrument being invested in was small and illiquid (i.e., that pumping it up would actually move the price). Otherwise it would be a waste of time. I've really only heard of this in penny stocks which

I'm pretty sure this isn't true regarding gold. I.e., that some firm has a lot it wants to dump and then spends money convincing people to invest in gold. Gold is liquid, and the vast majority of it is not held for investment purp

Disagree. I’m exMck too. Whether senior person wrote it is irrelevant. Just ask whether it is good or bad advice. Lots of smart mid-level people (and some not so smart). And some senior people really good and some are not. My view is it is

Not a physicist. How would someone go from these to maxells equations? Wondering just how big a leap is required?
