Yeah. As far as my limited knowledge goes on pricing, I don't believe LIBOR had a direct impact on fx rates. FX forwards and swaps are more impacted by the interest rate on treasury bills. LIBOR & EURIBOR would have an effect on in

I guess it depends on what your requirements are. I’m not too knowledgeable on the pricing side but your price increases/decreases as you noticed aren’t linear and vary based on the amount you’re buying or selling. Buying or selling cu

Amen. The forex market is very different than the stock market. FX is relationship driven. What this means is that the prices you can get are based on the relationship you negotiate with your provider. When Forex prices flash across cspan o

A few years ago NASA launched the Aqua satellite which has the capability to measure and visualize methane hotspots[1]. Hopefully this will allow us to mitigate the well head methane leaks. But I agree that this is a bridge technology at be

There was a group of hackers in the news recently that hacked the SEC's repository of earnings reports and had advance knowledge of earnings for tons of companies. They were only able to profit 70% of the time. Matt Levine @ Bloomberg

I suppose I meant snappy and responsive relative to Eclipse. Early 2000's java development was dominated by eclipse and netbeans. I used Eclipse in college and the difference between Eclips & Intellij was night and day.

For me its because they do a really good job of keeping the UI snappy and responsive. This is pretty impressive considering: 1) Its a java app 2) Continuously running compilers/interpreters in the background 3) Running builds and tests

People in Canada can't goto the pharmacy and pick up as much oxycontin as they would like whenever they feel like it. The majority of the drugs being marketed by those pharmacies were narcotics, not insulin. I agree that the US Healthc

I use Uber and don't have any inclination to switch because the price difference is negligible. I also Uber to the airport maybe 1-2 times a year. So it's rarely used and there's little benefit to switching. Why change?
