You wouldn’t need to wait 7 days. The price of a short-term treasuries is purely based off of the current interest rates. Given that expectations for rates are generally priced in over a 7 day period, there is very little risk.

The GP mentioned “short term” treasuries which, assuming something like an 7 day maturity, are very stable in price. Reverse repo is also an option.

I agree in principal, but in practice stroking people’s egos with personal attention works wonders!

That’s only if you’re using base 10. Base 2 is a perfectly acceptable order of magnitude.

It’s definitely fair to expect performance to be within one order of magnitude. 4 is really unreasonable.

First, I think we should use expression count instead of pure LOC because many styles add white space but keep the expression the same. I don’t consider one style “more terse” than another. e.g. a.map(…).reduce(…).join(…) a.map(…

What about flipping bits in a processor? Current processors do produce waste heat, but I don't think all of the energy in a processor gets converted to heat and it's not a requirement for computation that heat be generated, e.g. i

Well do we have a benchmark where the price of locking is unacceptable? I think the linked project is a fun theoretical exercise, but I personally don’t accept the assertion that locking is unacceptable without seeing evidence.

They’re market makers. They can’t be entirely delta neutral. There are things called betting exchanges where you can buy and sell bets with other people, and those can be neutral if the operator doesn’t act as a market maker but then there

This doesn’t really make sense for a number of reasons. This investigation began after reports of suspicious betting. Those reports must have come from bookmakers who felt they were being ripped off. And the bookmakers only stand to lose fr

Requiring water and power seems like a pretty basic requirement for a bathroom! Or are you expecting a sunlit composting toilet?

Yes, it is a crime. First, the money being paid out to the fixer doesn’t appear out of thin air. There is a counterparty to the transaction that is literally being stolen from when the fixer fixes a match. But more importantly, this is like

So the lackey gets 5 years in prison, the players are let off the hook and the mafia directing and financing the operation isn’t even investigated. Is organized crime a joke in Europe? Apparently millions of dollars were being laundered thr

The real estate market in the US is one of the cheapest in the world relative to incomes. Perhaps real estate is actually more valuable than you’ve been lead to believe.

Do you want to work with them even if that means a lower salary? Surely, since you’re among the “brightest in the world” you understand that labor prices are set by supply and demand. The H1B process increases the labor supply and thus decr

I don’t think this is necessarily a question of money. The U.S. eradicated malaria within the last 75 years and it seems like it was a pretty massive undertaking. If people at the time could developed a vaccine, I’m sure they would have.

Lead water pipes get coated with minerals in the water, especially in areas with hard water. Once this happens they are "safe" to use.
