Mandated vaccines in healthcare settings aren’t a new demand though. It’s more like a certificate that takes an hour is added to the list of 8 other certificates you need to maintain.

Right but if you have no diagnosis of Covid then the argument above doesn’t apply since you don’t actually have any evidence of “natural immunity”

Not sure about this source, but [0] gives some insight into this. Wage theft is typically defined as legally earned wages than an employer refuses to give to the employee (think tips not being given appropriately, overtime hours not compens

Worth noting that the NSA isn’t saying quantum computers (if achieved) cannot break public key encryption, instead they are saying that they have doubts that building a quantum computer powerful enough to be a threat is possible. I think th

Grad student stipend checking in. $21k/year in a large metro area (although not quite on the level of SF/NYC expensive). Median household income in my city is ~$100k/year. Yes this is "enough" but no, it is not enou

I think the commenter means that just because you know an element with a certain property is in the set, we can't conclude that there is a way to "choose" such an element. All we know is there exists at least one of these el

To give a concrete example for you, lets start with the finite set: {0.22, 0.32, 0.33} We now construct a new number in this way: First digit of the first number is 2, so we take 3 which is different as our first digit. First digit of the

Okay yeah that makes a lot of sense. Thanks for the suggestions.

Sweet that makes sense. Also for choosing one underlying do you mean only trade options on one single security? So not doing company by company analysis but choosing a single company and then trading options on that one to learn the types o

Hey, just a random spectator here. I'm super interested in learning as much as I can about this stuff. (currently a math PhD student considering a career in hedge funds) Are there any resources or books or anything you'd suggest c

I mean, if you accidentally choose the wrong option you can just go fix it in settings. I do this all the time when downloading new apps, my default is declining everything and then something usually breaks (like location on Waze) and then

If you consider debt in isolation (so assume your income increases with inflation or faster so your quality of life/buying power doesn't take a hit with inflation) then yes you are correct, inflation does away with debt. The conce

Yup, that's exactly it. I've found that there are certain websites that I have basically no interest in seeing. Eventually I might incorporate more granularity to get sub-domains or something like that, but for now it's just
