   You can take a bounded losses (though also bounded time frame) short position via stock options. Buying a put option achieves this for example.

   I'm not the author of the GP post but I don't think (s)he was implying the reason was unknown so much as stating that there IS a reason, but not committing to one single reason so as to not have to argue or justify it.

   I can't help but make the obvious observation here. It's bitcoin... The space has a prior for people who are willing to rush head first into something they don't understand in order to attempt to make a quick buck. I'm s

   The post you're replying to is suggesting that manipulating the market like that draws the attention of some very powerful organizations. It'll likely be investigated swiftly and they'll come down on you harshly when compared

   I asked a similar question to a sibling comment in this tree but have you considered that there's a lot more than meets the eye at these companies? If the product seems "simple", "done" or "just works" tha

   Have you considered the possibility that the first two companies you've mentioned have just fooled you into thinking their product is complete by offering you a complete feeling experience? There's a difference between "this

   Is there a way to say "a lot of ARM support issues across apps that I rely on" as though it isn't a bad thing? Hahah. I do agree some instruction set competition would be a good thing, especially if this can further improve b

    I would imagine it is targeted at a similar audience, it just lets you answer a better question. Given the current impression share for my campaigns, what would incremental spend do for CPA and position with 95% certainty? What would be the

    I would also like to know why. I suspect because it has strong potential for controversial tangents. That said I and I suspect others am highly interested in the effects of proteins I consume. I know I avoided soy for a long time because of

    You're falling victim to the base rate fallacy here, sure the evidence isn't definitive but it is alarmingly close. The probability that his win rate is in fact ~1000bb/100 is effectively zero whereas even if there were only

    I would guess the route you outlined is the typical route for Canadians, but one can go from TN -> GC.

    I'd say this is more atypical than typical. Your spouse would also need to qualify for their own TN which may or may not be the case depending on their profession.

    I don't have any numbers so this is a genuine question: Is a big chunk of AWS revenue from startups? My intuition says most startups have small cloud footprints unless they're dealing with massive scale.

    Genuinely curious: Does the lightning network provide all of the same guarantees that the standard Bitcoin network provides? What are the downsides? Why isn't the lightning network used all the time instead of the Bitcoin protocol?

    It was an E92, and specifically the 2008 model. The most expensive thing I ever did was the brakes. The competition package has floating discs and they were ~$2500 to replace. There are just a lot of design decisions on a car like that whic

    My last car was an E92 M3 MT (with Tech, Premium, Competition packages and a modded exhaust). It was the most fun vehicle I've ever driven. It had plenty of power, and introduced me to the side of cars other than straight line power. I

    I can't tell if this is satire or not but in the event of a loss of power on a large scale, say in a government collapse, a solar panel won't do you much good without the rest of the internet infrastructure. > The last recent B

    The driver network is worth precisely zero as a competitive moat if (and only if) you are competing against a company with self driving cars. The customer network is a competitive edge but it is also far less sticky than having a robust net

    I was restating the line you quoted, and yes precisely SF has very few families compared to other cities in the US. A sister comment seems to indicate that even NYC is 24% (I haven't verified this.) So even for similar urbanization lev

    That's all well and good that you disagree, but SF has 13.4% persons under 18 compared to the national average of 22.6% [0]. There are very few kids / families. [0] https://www.census.gov/quickfacts/fact/
