Eurostars are awfully simple to board on a wheelchair. If a platform hasn't been already provided (as it should be if you booked online) you merely need to ask for assistance at the check in desk, they'll call for a ramp. If push comes to shove, somebody will lift you up. Total time of the operation = 50 seconds.
I still don't understand your objection to GSO's opportunistic trading.
Triggers and credit events were provisions agreed on by both parties - it's a bespoke CDS after all - the only unintended consequence would be for future CPs to read the annexes to what they are trading, can't say it will be bad.
Indeed, but nobody (I certainly wasn't) was advocating to not do your homework and evaluate your risk. Sometimes, however, things just happen, for example James Simons stumbled upon the industry by chance.
How many companies were motivated by killer instinct? Did Gates want to kill IBM? Did Xerox plan to kill Kodak (they didn't but they serendipitously started a revolution)?
In fairness, by that logic nothing would ever get done.
Microsoft? You're never going to win over IBM. Xerox? You'll always be ancillary to Kodak. GM? Ford is already there.
The Fugger's Banking company? Good luck against the Venetians and the Florentines. Same old story.
At the end of the day, you either try something new or you don't.
I'm starting a new import startup/e-store for original italian (Apulian, Campanian, Umbrian and Sicilian) olive oil aimed at the food lovers niche as my family hails from there, moreover I'm on friendly terms with some family producers.
So far the biggest issue (other than those export regulations) has been finding a decent packaging. I wanted those nice Vietri/Positano/Amalfitan ceramic bottles (http://www.ceramicpositano.com/data/images/vaso-a-collo-stre...) but I fear the cost might be too high for the buyer.
Yes their leg was off-marketed.
At the time, ESA 1995 allowed this kind of transaction (actually most euro countries lobbied for looser rules on swaps as every major treasury was employing CCS (France, Germany and Italy to name a few, at the time those countries were running budget deficits hence they were in no position to argue for fiscal conservatism). Eurostat knew, even if they didn't (which is impossible as those transactions were reported) they could have if they read Risk Magazine.
Also, Goldman was just a piece of the puzzle, most deals were between Greek banks.
Seriously, they did their job, and in fact it' still business as usual (you'd think relationships went sour otherwise)
Mathematics: Its Content, Methods and Meaning (Dover Books on Mathematics)
Also, you might want to get Richard Courant's "What is mathematics?" and a book (I'm reading multiple as I'm in your same spot, didn't have much mathematics during high-school because I thought I didn't possess the acumen, then I realized I really liked the subject) on proofs.
Gelfand's books are very very very good, trust me on this one, they build on the fundamentals. The books are not short of flaws though, namely the writing is informal, the author assumes some preexisting knowledge (that's why they are often not used as class books but as supplementary notes) and do not offer many exercises. But if you get the whole bunch you'll have covered the high-school curriculum (and more).
The AMA olympiad books are good reads, same with those "Art of Problem Solving" books. But personally, I'm not starting these until I've gained enough confidence, I still can't solve elaborate problems or mathematical olympiad kind of questions (but I'm getting smarter).
Leveraged ETFs are inherently more volatile than their underlying benchmark or index. For more information, CLICK HERE. Accounts are carried and cleared with First Southwest Company ("FSC").
Saleem, you need to fix the TOS text at the end of the page. Not only it's not formatted but it calls for a link which isn't there (Desktop using the latest version of firefox and windows, adblock disabled).
Unless you already know the material it will require a week or more. The book is very discoursive and clear, there are plenty of exercises and examples (which I assume the author of the list didn't do).
I haven't proceeded past page 30 as I'm currently learning high school mathematics and I'm not yet comfortable with integrals and the notation but I think it's a book you could easily digest once you've gotten the prerequisites.
Yeah, I figured out that since it was a survey, limiting the options to the most famous names was more of a necessity.
IMHO I suggest you run a future survey asking about the most important qualities that a candidate should possess, just to cross validate the answers.
Yeah, those bums working 2 shifts to just put food on the table are certainly lazy, I mean they could forego sleep and study their way into Harvard instead.
Also let's ignore the three billion people living on less than 2.50$ per day, after all there are "billions" having a chance (somehow I got the feeling those "billions" are made up).
That's why we can't have a nice debate on wealth inequality and work ethics. Even on a place like HN, some commenters will ignore all the evidence, back away from the available data and disperse their anecdotal pearls of wisdom.
I'm not bashing you in particular, but seriously, let's get real.
The world is a shit place, and that's it, let's not lie to ourselves by adding some random justification in search of a primal cause. Some are born lucky, some are not. Some become lucky, some don't. Some forge their own paths, some don't. Some are lazy, some are not.
Extrapolating a general rule is pointless.
They look incredibly nice and skilled though. Too bad I don't possess a useful skillset nor an outstanding pedigree.
Anyway, reporting verbatim their CEO "We have created a world where there are no server boundaries", so I assume they managed to scale the instancing method seen in Guild Wars 2 (where overflowing players are divided among different ghost instances) into a single giant concurrent world.
They have a 22.6% GAAP gross margin excluding ZEV credits, BUT unlike every other car manufacturer Tesla doesn't account for R&D and engineering expenses as a fraction of COGS (that's why Elon can claim they are up there with Porsche and Audi, but that's a blatant lie).
Just examine their 10-K. Sometimes Tesla can be so opaque and impervious to questioning.
Yeah, I assume newish VCs have it tougher than most as expenses are high and management fees won't cover the full costs of operating the business. Well, you're entrepreneurs working at a higher level of abstraction after all.
