I have a box with 4 2080 ti's that are cooled with blowers and it has not been a problem. Temp's max out at 87C under full load.

The courts in the US have long upheld that law enforcement (and probably by extension, regulators) are under no obligation to protect you.

With currencies there are no shares so the mechanics are quite different. Currencies come in pairs so you don't just short the pound, instead you bet that the euro will increase in value relative to the pound. So in this case you are l

It is probably considered their job but I don't have any confidence in the SEC to proactively investigate anything of real substance. However they did not even have to spot it since Mr. Markopolos turned up with a ton of evidence that

Sure. So simply asking who their auditor is and what the custody arrangements are will tell you a lot. Hedge Funds and other asset managers use a relatively small number of accountants to do their auditing. Madoff used a small family accoun

Hedge funds are not regulated the way you think. Mostly the SEC requires the generation of a lot of paperwork and various filings. The SEC does conduct inspections of funds but mostly this is not that big a deal. Remarkably the SEC did insp

I have a hard time seeing it as unintended. If you are not promising any differentiation between yourself and the index than the only thing to really compete on is cost. There are economies of scale in finance, specifically if you need to o

I have often compared Uber to the airlines and not in kind way. There is simply no loyalty. I am skeptical that the airline frequent flier model will work. I predominately use Delta for international travel because of Delta One, but will pr

Honestly Haskell. But on .net F# could be interesting. I don't think these bindings are useful to me in isolation. The reason I have not really gone down that path is that one would need to clone all the higher level TF code that has b

I am probably an outlier (I have experience with both compiler development and lazy languages) but I found the graph model to be very natural. Much of the struggles I saw people having conceptually I had already had years before. The reason

These are wildly different businesses. Virtu is a global electronic market maker which in reality is more like a mature technology company than a risk taking hedge fund. Renaissance (Medallion specifically) is a weird fund that manages empl

I have never used Redis so I cannot comment on what is in Redis vs whatever Redis Labs modules are. I did observe that when the license was changed there was much gnashing of teeth about the license change so clearly at least a subset of po

Individuals interpretations of this are unlikely to matter much until such a clause is tested in court. The interpretation that the license is as broad as Mr Kuhn claims may be true, but it may not be. Personally I think that both Mongo and

S&P is now excluding such share structures from companies it considers for the S&P 500, so I would anticipate that this will get much rarer among public companies.

by sseveran 8y ago
The big change is that S&P is no longer going to consider adding companies with structures like this to the S&P 500. Existing companies got grandfathered in.

Airlines typically disclose this information even if it's not directly in the search results. SeatGuru tends to have good information, especially with heavily mixed fleets. Airlines also have details posted on their websites, for insta

Its actually not quite that simple for long distance flying. Most private jets are not G650ERs which have a good long range and can fly a route that an airline might use a 777 or A350 for. The G650 sleeps 10 so you probably wouldn't wa

I guess it depends on where you fly. The routes I fly to Europe and South America are typically 5-7K although I have seen less. It also depends on what type of business class seat you want. If you are fine with the older style reclining bus

That is not necessarily true. Singair is supposed to run all business class on their new A350ULRs from Singapore to NYC. I do agree about faster planes. I am really rooting for Boom to become a commercial success so others will follow. htt

I think you are misunderstanding what many (maybe most) funds actually say they are offering. The investment is often positioned as an asset class with low correlation to other asset classes. Whether they actually offer this or not is a dif

They should disclose how many backtests were run along with the methodology for evaluation. Backtests should be very rarely run.

The SEC could seek to bar him from being an officer or director of a public company. That would be independent of any criminal charges that might be filed. Elizabeth Holmes agreed to similar terms when she settled with the SEC. In some ways

The US Treasury puts out a financial report that paints a bit less of a rosy picture. So long as the dollar is the world reserve currency there is not going to be much appetite to make significant changes. Any shortfall in benefits after 20

The EU also required Microsoft to create the N editions, that came without the media player installed by default. I recall reading that very few copies were sold but I can't find a citation right now.
