If you hold a large dice rolling competition, the person that wins will have rolled nothing but sixes in row. Retail people discovering leverage in deriv contracts will naturally sort itself out in the long run.

Current Bloomberg Pro user, same exact sentiment. Bloomberg just happens to have a preposterous number of barriers of entry for any aspiring competitor: 1) Licensing - historical data and metadata (need the day counting convention for rando

"The overall effect is like pushing a child on a swing. If the period of the swing is synchronized with the timing of the push, the amplitude of the swing will increase." That's a fantastic analogy!

Mandatory vacations especially, since most of these things are done by people in controller and similar corp finance rules. It's rather strange that an IT person could keep it going for so long - you'd think someone in the aforeme

The point has to do with Twitter, sir. Nice Rorschach there with your quip about racism, however. You may want to think about that a bit.

That is brilliant. My immediate response in this context is the back button - if you haven't given much thought to the medium, you likely haven't given much thought to the content itself.

I believe that, I had two of the 30in variety (150w a pop) - in the summer I had to run a fan across them to not feel like a rotisserie chicken.

86% adobe rgb reproduction is not something you'd use for professional work. IIRC wife's NEC from couple years back comes in at 99% and an external puck to calibrate it. On a semi related note,my LG 55in oled TV is by far the best

This, as someone in tangentially related industry I see the very same issue - you need a LOT of tail events to be able to train the models on them and obviously tail events are rare by construction. So it will be all smooth sailing until yo

Ehhhh there's a middle ground solution that will almost certainly be lost on all the Eurocrats, largely going by the previous prescriptive attempts with micro-usb for all phones etc: Instead of mandating user-replacable whatever parts,

I think in general this ends up being the same market failure the original post alluded to - there's tail risk of someone actually finding something, declaring your property a landmark/historical site which severely limits the pos

For what it's worth, the J&J aftermath experience for me was on par with actually having covid 8 months prior. Having also had omni (apparently getting covid is my superpower) with symptoms on par with a mediocre sore throat, I hav

I would bet a lot of money that the logistics aspect of it is what he's concerned with. Parts from suppliers don't magically show up at Tesla assembly lines.

That's your cognitive dissonance speaking; it's a demonstrable fact that Trump took a large part of the blue collar/union electorate in 2016.

Fellow European here, these threads almost universally originate from people that were born and raised in upper middle class US suburbia; there seems to be this odd narrative with that crowd that Europeans all actually prefer the inconvenie

Points like the above is pretty much why these sorts of ideas are a dead end in a place with disposable income. If you objectively think that riding a bicycle with two sets of clothes on your back in the dead of winter is as convenient as d

Yeah, there's also the pragmatic aspect of that issue - you can probably guess the amount effort you'll get out of someone if you're actively trying to compel them into the role. It's probably not that great to have a fi
