Dealing with tabs and carriage returns has sometimes cost you millions of dollars? If so, that sounds like a great story and I would love to hear it!

One (stupid?) thing that annoys me about closure is that native clojure libraries use snake case while java libraries use camel case. You could obviously write a new defn macro to take of all this and make it consistent, but it might have j

You’re right, nothing is risk free. In finance though, the three month US Treasury bill yield is considered the risk-free rate. The only reason why this matters is that the risk-free rate is built into almost all financial equations and mod

I quit my job as a developer (because I knew I would get fired if I kept my lifestyle the same), broke the lease on my apartment and moved to my parents house for a month and got a doctor to give me suboxone. Am I a lot happier person now?

And you think that’s related to a free market?

I have a hotel fridge and I just mostly order out and throw out the leftovers. Maybe a big fridge would make it worse but I doubt it.

Or we could like, have the market decide? What you’re saying violates the law of one price and doesn’t make any sense.

Because I have more money than time? I despise wasting my time doing stupid errands everyday, I rather buy a lot of food at one time and throw away most of it.

I used to be addicted to heroin and honestly, the drug is amazing. The mental and physical clarity it gives you is downright unbelievable. For me the problem was never heroin itself (I worked harder on it, I was less anxious and happier) bu

It’s not like individuals are going to care. In fact the only people who would care are the government and the refineries who’s brand is being stolen.

They are not looking to actually obtain any exposure on the stamped gold or illicit gold. The goal here is to arbitrage between these two prices and while doing so convert dirty money into clean money. Speculation is the last thing these pe

They do meet the purity standards, that’s the point. A better idea would to put a public key on each gold bar so that anyone can verify the authenticity. The producers could then compile a list of all the current locations of the gold and i

Maybe they wouldn’t be expressed as annualized volatility and only expressed as long tail risk: blight, climate change, etc.

On a risk adjusted basis? I seriously doubt it.

This is true, but by taking USD exposure rather than Euro exposure, you are actually derisking and hedging out the massive currency exposure you already have. Namely the fact that you use Euros for everything in your life. So it would proba

In a country that’s obsessed with saving, wouldn’t there be a lot of money in these accounts? Though in a country like Germany that has a large state welfare program, you would think that saving wouldn’t be particularly popular.

Sure all of that’s true, but I think there’s a big philosophical and moral difference between changing the incentives of bankers vs forcing them to lend and borrow at a set rate. One relies on an efficient market and incentives while the ot

EMH directly implies that it’s impossible to beat the market on a risk-adjusted basis. Therefore, all above market return is just compensation for bearing additional risk. Therefore EMH is fundamentally about there only being one Sharpe rat

You’re comparing Mexican bonds with US T-notes? US 3-month treasuries are the risk-free for the entire world. Every investor and every country in the world (besides maybe North Korea or something) hold them in massive quantities.

Interest rates in the US are not set directly by the government. Instead the federal funds rate is a target rate that the Fed aims for by either expanding or contracting the money supply. Also the TIBOR and LIBOR and all the other *IBORs ar

Then buy the US risk free rate instead? Or get some nice equity premiums if you want. I seriously have a hard time understanding logic like this. Who is actually saving money in a savings account? There’s literally only one reason why you w

Just because you need a red annotation doesn’t mean they don’t have TCO. Most people consider Scala to have TCO, and you need rec annotations as well. Also I said mutation is discouraged for ML languages, not that it hard. Point taken about

I wouldn't call Lisp a functional language. Historically it's not functional, and in practice it usually isn't functional either. When I hear "functional", I usually interpret it to mean languages influenced or deri
