That's simply not true. Almost all the value will be because it's attributed to da Vinci. You simply won't get the same valuation if it's attributed to a lesser known contemporary. And you don't need to go historica

The £57k is with London weighting. It's £50k-£54k outside London. But otherwise I agree, this is a team lead position for a small team. Grade 7 so isn't a senior civil service role. From the job description it looks like it's

Sure, and Marx advocated for revolutionary violence. Now, I'm pretty sure he was thinking more Paris Commune than Killing Fields but to argue that Marx was a just reformist is ahistoric. And sure, there are people who profess to being

Marx explicitly advocated for revolutionary terror with the intent to eradicate whole classes of people. That's quite hate-y. The fact that professed followers of Marx riffed somewhat on his themes doesn't make his ideology any fl

If you bought treasuries at the prevailing rate and swapped them at the same rate then the market price of the swap will be zero. You'll still have to pay credit and funding premia though. If, however, you only hedge once the prevailin

There doesn't have to be a CEO but there will be a UK legal entity, subject to UK regulation (presumably the PRA) and with its own board.

I think you have it exactly backwards. The standard model is astonishingly good at predictions. It's just not a theory of everything. And the output from LHC has discounted some approaches to a TofE but hasn't helped to point the

That's not the main reason for paying more though. The main reason is because there's usually a clause in an increased severance package that says you won't sue the company for compensation. It's not clear from the artic

I'm not sure I understand your concern about selling the software. It's perfectly common to sell software libraries and frameworks on a recurring license basis. The fact that you need to supply the source shouldn't be an issu

GI is here, now. It doesn't seem to have much effect on the decision process. Why do you think AGI would have any effect? At least directly. Theoretically, I guess, if AGI somehow precipitated a significant increase in global education

The current plans only go so far as to supporting in-kernel device drivers in rust. It will be quite a while if ever before core parts of the kernel are written in rust.

The OBR is forecasting a 1.2% fall in UK house prices in 2023. They rose about 10% this year. Estate agents seem to be predicting between 5-10% fall next year. And I can't find an organisation called "UK Housing Association".

Your naive approach would work if 1) the possible projects match identically the resource profile without overlap and 2) there aren't any more possible projects than the set that match the resources ie there is no prioritisation decisi

It's not a notional principal for a fx swap, it's an actual principal that you swap. If your counterpart defaults, you're still liable for what you owe (usually multiple millions) but you won't receive the other side.

by lucozade 4y ago
FX swaps swap the principal amounts. So a default between the spot and forward legs can leave you with a chunky liability. Unlike single currency interest rate swaps where the principal is notional in the sense that they aren't exchang

There are various guarantees and payment codes of conduct that UK banks have signed up to. The intent of these is to give some protection if you've made a payment to a scammer. What I presume is happening is that some banks are seeing

At least from Johnson's pov, his argument for refusing another referendum was exactly in line with his view on brexit. Specifically, if you have a referendum then you should bloody well respect the result. The last thing he wanted was
