CDS don't hide ownership, they're insurance against a bond defaulting. You can use them to short a company's bonds too, which is otherwise extremely difficult as bonds aren't lent like equities. TRS also aren't real

I tend to understand 'controversial' here as a shorthand for new theories not explaining some observations. There's lots of good evidence for the models that require dark matter and dark energy (which I also understand to be

I love that vi lost this part of the propaganda battle versus Emacs, when Emacs has the unintuitive ^C^X exit sequence. Maybe it also had a file menu?

Blue Origin have a (significantly less capable) reusable suborbital rocket, and Rocket Lab have reflown an engine. It's worth noting that the Falcon 9 only reuses the first stage and payload fairings, with the second stage expended. I

As I understand it, mods are mostly annoyed because they've been using the API to compensate for features lacking in their official mod tools. Making the API cost money means the unofficial mod tools cost money, and hiding NSFW content
