Not an instructive data point. Adam Neumann owned way more than that? It's not flattering if retail investors prefer your stock over institutions. Edit: The exception being Tesla. But Tesla's really different.

You always keep client state on the server in the sense that the DB keeps track of sessions and the server keeps track of caching. Never trust the state of the client... Never trust client's input... No idea what JSF is. Sorry it didn&

An API is not an abstraction. It is LITERALLY how your program is communicated with. The API of a website is http. The code inside the API is an abstraction.

No, we're really pretty close. SPA frameworks query the server for JSON and then render HTML right? Simpler in the sense of what? You prefer to not have all of the variables available when you render HTML? It's simpler to only ren

Loose is a word that describes knots. You are obviously writing more code for client side HTML generation based on JSON than regular server side rendering... I am saving effort if I need to write fewer files... Your feature requires a JSON

any JSON request you make to the server to render html can be replaced by a single request to the server that replaces HTML. It's simpler to do the latter.

This is the opposite of what I would expect. React (or basically all JS SPAs) uses components which are essentially HTML elements populated by JSON data. It then stitches them together so that they can communicate via JS. I can explicitly t

architecture doesn't contain patterns? architectures don't follow certain patterns? you've never seen certain architectures that smell because they're not following an established pattern?

you're technically correct but its generally unlikely. equity holders get to keep money if there's money left after satisfying debts. their bonds trade for about 40 cents on the dollar which means bondholders don't think they

They're flexible. Once you put in money the broker will give you margin. That lets you buy, sell, or send money out without having actual cash. They'll charge you for it and obviously you need to eventually settle the positions by

probably a good time to open a brokerage account. Schwab is a solid broker that also has a pretty well regarded consumer bank. Most brokers just dropped trading fees, so investing is almost free.

The Fed does not want to do credit analysis. They do not want to be the primary purchasers of debt. As a lender of last resort, they want to buy debt from primary purchasers in the hope that they valued the debt correctly. Of course... Ever

Be precise. It seems like you think the Fed's failure is that they don't buy individual bonds. Why would the Fed prefer to buy individual bonds? The Fed buys individual bonds. It buys government debt and people hate them for it.

stretched valuations are dominant in sectors where liquidity is small. There's a reason WeWork got 50 billion before crashing to basically 0.

"On the hook" means that while taxpayers are shouldering the risk, they are also the ones enjoying the reward. I for one would not like the entire country to descend into violence and madness. I'm willing to pile on debt to a

OK. Issuers need a certification to sell to the Fed. My understanding is that no one wants to sell to the Fed because the first person that does will be seen as having a weak financial position. This was the reasoning for TARP - the Feds ma

They're buying shares of ETFs because it's easier operationally but not because its more liquid and convenient? Those seem pretty close to synonymous to me.

You are correct that BlackRock has an incentive to maximize their AUM to maximize their revenue. A critical distinction though is that the Fed isn't buying BlackRock's bonds. They are buying bonds that are represented in BlackRock

This is really an illuminating moment. A lot of people have been saying that this crisis really enforces the reasoning for UBI, but that's not quite true. It's more accurate to say that the crisis really enforces that the governme

Perhaps the government would not need to be downsized by reducing disaster preparedness programs and emergency stockpiles if it had not already been bloated by high salaries for bureaucrats.
