yep, it may be that these new variants are not attempting any kind of immune escape against vaccines. They might just replicate faster or may be more transmissive and we are seeing the inevitable outcome of a non-sterilizing vaccine: you s

RobinHood users should consider M1 Finance. It’s a better way to invest by allocating pies instead of making trades. However there are no options and they don’t offer OTC or anything low liquidity.

The issue with this approach (other than isolation) is that the largest tenant may be orders of magnitude bigger than others and still need more sharding to perform well while their smallest still needs to share a db. Have you looked at Ti

BTC proponents don't want to admit it, but performing a 51% attack has never been difficult: just form a large mining pool. The only issue is convincing all those miners to go against their economic interest. China could have relativel

It’s always trivial to perform a 51% attack by forming a large mining pool. You don’t have to kick people out of China to do that. The only issue is convincing the miners to go against their economic interest. China could have relatively ea

The article blames 10% of local collapses on these particular bees. I suspect "mystery" means a complex system with multiple interacting causes. This is one of them buy may only exist in a few places in the world.

I think you are describing pump-back hydro dams which are only a subset of pumped storage. Strictly speaking pumped storage only requires an elevation change and a water supply

First step is probably to avoid 401k rip-offs. You can find details about different providers including Fidelity here: https://www.employeefiduciary.com/sample-fee-comparisons/ You might possibly be able to switch your

I can't edit my comment anymore but did upvote yours. I agree with those warnings about imitating this practice. My "drinking as much water as I can" is perhaps 1 liter, much less than what seemed to be described in "The

Actually this very practice is described in the book "The Old Way". The natives in a dry region in Africa would drink massive amounts at a watering hole before setting off for a journey. It was probably more than 2 liters. I try t

This event doesn't make sense if you have assumed that banks take deposits and then loan that deposit money out. In reality deposits only cover around 10% of the loan. This is called fractional reserve banking and it means that a bank

You can buy a long-term short with cash rather than margin. You can hold onto such an option until it expires. Options have a reputation for risk, but this mostly seems to come back to using margin.

Shorting is a more time consuming investment approach. You need high conviction to open a PUT without owning a CALL or the stock as well. One thing I have learned is that a SPAC or any company with a low stock price may have low liquidity,

You could look at Tesla different ways. Tesla claimed Edison withheld a promised bonus and then Tesla left to directly work on his own projects for the rest of his life.

That's great that you are doing your own resiliency testing. Having someone other than those officially on the Jepsen project run the Jepsen test is a good start. However, many databases have claimed to run the Jepsen tests themselves

Wise charges $8 for $1000 transfer. Some of that is an ACH fee that is probably difficult to reduce. Strike claims no fees are charged.

That’s a small sum for many nation states but good to know we only have to worry about nations or conspiracies. Do you have a link to more information about this?

From a quick reading (just spent a minute after seeing this article) lightning claims support for secure forwarding. So there might be an economic way for a payment app to operate the channel.

I think iOS does this right. It helps you get a password from the Bitwarden app when using the browser. No browser extension with injection is required.

We probably don't have the luxury of choosing. Solar and wind are intermittent. We probably need to both develop massive forms of energy storage and develop clean stable forms of energy (nuclear). The new nuclear in this article can ou

Solar and wind are intermittent. We also need green sources of energy that are constant or available on demand.
