Well, you're only required to mark to market if there's some regulation applicable to you saying you need to mark to market. Otherwise you're being sloppy and foolish, but the only way they can really go after you is to show

You're missing the point of the conversation if you think this is about "reputable researchers".

We only need to talk about the carbon footprints of the rich because the environmental movement has positioned everything in terms of asceticism and sacrifice. No one talks about the unequal consumption of high end furniture, art, entertain

It's more the equivalent of getting banned from driving because someone reported you to Honda, and Honda didn't verify anything.

The supreme court just slapped down the EPA for trying to overstep their authority. Regardless of the merits of banning natural gas for heating, this is pure grandstanding because they know the EPA cannot do this. On the merits, requiring r

This is an excellent point and easy for designers themselves to overlook. They may see DALLE as a tool that some are claiming does their entire job, and it can't quite yet. But it's really a question of how close it can match the

This is true. I am intentionally flying in to San Jose on Monday because I hate the Millbrae disaster of "which train goes where".

You are mistaken. I doubt you will choose to take a train from LA to SF if you are already at the airport. I haven't kept up with the details of just how slow "high speed" rail is supposed to be, but to those who live in Cali

This isn't the way house hunting works in most markets today (well, at least up until a few months ago). You need to consider each property as it comes up and decide whether to make an offer or not. Either you use broad filter criteria

I'm less convinced by studies that use an unconventional control group. What I mean by unconventional is primarily the single set of 30 reps once a week, which is not representative of conventional wisdom in weight training (convention

This is an incorrect analysis of where the conclusion comes from. Allowing the use of the courts to prohibit slander is a government action. Slander and libel are long standing exceptions to free speech. "Fighting words", espionag

His job is to make big ambitious bets. These didn't pay off. CEOs are not hired (or retained) for the benefit of employees or customers, they are hired by boards for the benefit of shareholders, and shareholders in Robinhood were not b

The conventional way to add a page to a book is to glue it along the inside edge. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tipped-in_page There are several versions of this article floating around the web showing the process if y

You misrepresent my claim. I said it is natural to assume that someone who has done work that will earn a Nobel prize is at least approaching notability. I did not say that is required for notability. I'm not a wikipedia expert but man

I think this featured in Charlie Stross's novel Rule 34. His version includes what seems like dynamic rerouting based on willingness to pay a premium.

I'm sure this state rep is a scumbag in general and all that, but what the law says is: * bystanders can't record within 8 ft of the police questioning a suspect, arresting someone, or dealing with a mental health case. * the pers

Why would you imagine rather than spend a few minutes to read the article? It explicitly exempts passengers in a car from the 8 foot rule.

Headline here omits part of the headline in the linked story: Gas and Nuclear are both now considered green. Which to me just reinforces the absurdity of environmental advocacy. It's clear that CO2 is the most urgent environmental issu

OP also said "in their 30s" not "at 30". So I'd use 35-45 rather than 30-40, which shifts it a bit.

Why is a letter about crypto referring to Fintech in general in the title? To me this shows a distinct lack of context and the view that these people think they know a lot about crypto, but know very little about finance and moreover the au

One month severance is perfectly reasonable. They're under no obligation to make sure people are in a better position than they were before, and if someone walked away from options, etc at a previous company that's their business.
