If the offering is announced and expected the price impact will be lower than surprise-selling. And companies at-the-market offerings aren't exactly unheard of.

One thing I wonder (maybe not a sensible question, I haven't really thought it through): A Kalman filter update is superficially like a HMM Forward Algorithm step, right? You have some belief, you have a new observation, and you have

Today's WSJ had a review[1]. The author's verdict was roughly that it does well compared to its closest gas-powered competitors, but doesn't match up well against its electric competitors (wrt in-car experience, value for mon

In TFA they made a big point of you not needing any kind of license to drive one in China. I guess that's true of ebikes in the US, but above that point I think is a regulatory line that will never be relaxed. If it has indicators you&

Yeah I worry about all the enterprise shit you don't think until you need it -- If one bowl goes down, will it fail over to another in a different region? In the case of a network partition, does my wife get my car?

Nah, they have fixed focus (I think at infinity, but that might not be true). You use other depth cues in normal VR systems, but not focal depth.

I read it the same way. I guess the phrasing ("I would be willing") should have made it clear, but it's an understandable misunderstanding: it's used both ways: https://www.photoshopessentials.com/essenti

I don't think this is about the specific news or Robinhood's specific actions. More likely Google have a policy (or a habit) of removing reviews that don't look "organic", or reviews that seem driven by news or agen

Kinda weird comment. Not that it matters, but in the scene Iron Man brushed Elon off -- He was "politely rude", and the scene (while serving as an ad for Elon) served the film by giving cred to Stark by having Elon fawn over him.

That number has been thrown around for here immunity. But I don't think it answers the GP's question because * Herd immunity numbers assume no ongoing vaccination -- they more or less say, "If life went back to normal, would

Yeah, I think if this doesn't kick up much of a fuss the Biden administration will be glad it was done. I imagine they'll take more of a "don't rock the boat" approach, but this will leave things in a situation they

Inflation affects both in the same way and by the same amount. Ditto taxes, mostly. It's probably best and simplest to compare nominal returns.
