The US does not belong to the ICJ, so that judgement would only be valid if the US Supreme court would say so. I dislike a lot nuclear weapons but they are an escalation deterrent like the humanity never had[1]. I hope they continue to be a

The post and comments come out a bit unfair if you read the answer from the music author. The music author seems to be doing the music as part of a thesis and does not dump the generated music straight from the model. Instead it uses it for

The logarithmic part comes from the view point of wealth as a geometric progression. I am not an expert, can you point me to a case where it is not logarithmic?

Looks great and will give it a try in the future. Refactoring is one of the fun things in our job so making it as part of the interview is great. When I make interviews I also come with the code, normally a few line snippet and have the per

I really think Anglo Saxonic insults are a notch below the ones from Latin languages. An Italian or Spanish person insulting another is almost like a song because the words are often intoned as part of a sentence of insults and thus sound p

If they are selling puts they are actually signalling the price they are ok to buy at. What you described is selling a call. Or to be annoying selling a right to buy.

You don’t know much but you know enough. Options is all about timing. And nobody knows the time to short for sure. The market is not rational.

Heh dont get me wrong. I think Obama is a philosopher king but by giving such emotional speeches and rhetorics he set the stage for very strong reactions. Reactions that bloomed into the awful culture wars of today. At the time I saw Obama

Yep. It is really hard to trade options even for hedging when the notional is so high. Of course you can do combinations of strategies to lower the upfront but I imagine many brokers might just not give the credit worthiness or permissions

This! I can’t accept forgiving murder. I don’t know Texas much but it now is a place where a racist kills a person and gets out of jail forgiven. From a moral point of view I don’t know how the governor and its constituents can look themsel

Ironically that stack unwinding is exactly why I like a straight old sigsegv. Just dump the core and analyse the frozen state. One thing that annoyed me in go is that even when it core dumps on panic and after I worked on the backtrace ana

Yes, except git log will show all the commits that got into the branch, while with merge you need git log -m otherwise there are invisible commits(and diffs) in a pretty common workflow. I don’t know why this is the default behaviour. Git

When I say young generations I don’t mean they are incapable, but that the tools they use and influences they are subject to, are new. This seems to lead to a normalisation of personal communication rituals that are often at odds with prev

Not only pilots. Truck driver resting time is heavily regulated to the point the need to record start and end or they will be fined at best. Their employers will also be on the hook if drivers are non compliant. A truck driver! But doctors?

Not sure if you read the article but it mentions the dolls had preeminent vulvas and sexual attributes. I think that excludes the children usage supposition. The symbolic or humorous interpretation is much more plausible.
