Which is exactly why you send the notes by end-of-day. People get the chance to object ASAP, and are otherwise bound to the record going forward.

A long time ago, my boss at the time taught me a valuable lesson: every meeting needs an official record(/log/minutes/whatever) documenting all noteworthy decisions (D), tasks (T, with deadline and responsible person), and in

You are right and I as I said, many banks are guilty of many sins. But the emphasis on SARs is from the article itself, and the SARs appear to be how they arrived at the $2T.

Regulators aren’t completely inept and will catch on to this. Edit: to elaborate, too many false positives will be interpreted as a broken AML policy and that alone is already grounds for penalty.

This is a horrible press release. Horrible. The allegations Hinderburg made are substantial, but a rebuttal as poor as this one is even worse than just staying silent. It would be somewhat understandable if they'd be trying to weasel o

With NVIDIA relying on Samsung for fabbing their new Ampere line of GPUs using their 8nm process, and Samsung now relying on NVIDIA for ARM, I wonder how this relationship will develop. I'm guessing that NVIDIA will try to squeeze valu

Softbank paid $32B for ARM in 2016. A 25% gain over a horizon of four years is not bad for your average investment -- but this isn't an average investment. First, compared to the SP500, this underperforms over the same horizon (even co

I remember that day well (it was job-relevant to me when it happened). I'm still amazed how Porsche managed to pull that one off! That's a good example, thank you for sharing it again!

Fair enough. I'd still argue that the risk/reward is still way off, but as you say, that's an individual assessment.

I find the SoftBank action more credible (even convincing, given the other submissions in which it was discussed) than the split theory. Because there is no rational way that a company with $27bn revenue rises from ~$130bn to ~$450bn in mar

I am reminded of Elon Musk's tweet [1] a mere three months ago, when the stock rose from an already hard to believe [2] $80 to an incredible $140 (adjusted for split): Tesla stock price is too high imo And yet people still piled on

And what exactly would those prospects be to justify this valuation? VW, the third-largest car manufacturer in the world, sold 11 million cars last year (27x Tesla), for ~$280bn revenue (11x Tesla) and ~$19bn profit. VW made 1 out of 8 of

That's exactly my use case: I use these images for (1) building packages locally (sbuild has a QEMU bridge via the autopkgtest mode), and (2) for autopkgtest. A minimal debootstrap-like installation with only the bare minimum configura

While this is in no doubt very useful, it (as you note) re-uses pre-built images that are unfortunately ancient (2013). The real jackpot still remains out there: a tool with which to actually create those images. Having that would be aweso

If you mean purchasing a bank for such a sum: indeed, the price can be cheap. But then you own a bank, and have to be in full regulatory compliance, which today is an immense burden. You need an officer for this, a responsible person for th
