The most recent episode of the Neoliberal Podcast covered this in layperson's terms. Despite being pro-helicopter money, they point out that the bureaucracy to do so isn't in place and that there isn't precedent/procedure for FED action of this kind. So for now the FED is using all of the tools it's used to and waiting on congress to act, hopefully with helicopter money but it will be slow even if the current arguments around constraints are resolved.
We used to do this in high school and bought a single large bag of potassium nitrate from a local commercial agriculture shop. We even called ahead to make sure that it had specific chemical designations on the bag because it was far enough away to be a pain to get to. Looking back it was very dumb in a legal sense (and a lung health sense haha).
[Ignorant tangent] Is core hardware more exploited these days or are vulnerabilities just more reported in tech news? I'd assume the former, but I'm not a hardware person. If so is this just due to increasing complexity/optimization going on in chip design or better tooling/methods of exploitation?
Agree that heads should role, but it may very well be management decisions that brought them to this point. We don't know if engineering was resource/strategically limited (seems unlikely at a well funded startup but it may have been). Having worked places where terminations were the result of failures, it's not always the party most responsible that is let go.
I agree. While I'm primarily a Firefox user, Edge Beta is the best experience on my Windows machine. I'm surprised that it seems faster than Chrome when they're utilizing the same rendering engine (probably the built-in tracker blocking?).
My SO has insurance through/at her med school and has to dispute bills every time she goes in because they bill them as non-covered. Oh and imaging in the same building / under the same hospital wasn't covered. It's crazy that even medical professionals can't get good/clear services.
Tangent, but assuming fusion energy generation will be a reality in the next 30 years, what do you believe the price/KWH will be? I am not knowledgeable enough to parse the estimates I've seen and want to believe in the post-energy-scarcity future.
I have quite a few more tabs open at any point in time including some large spreadsheets so 8GB tends to be my minimum before I start noticing on Windows/Firefox even with an M2 SSD. Firefox alone is at 4GB for me. This is also my fault for not snoozing/bookmarking aggressively.
I graduated high in my CS class from a top school, but it turns out that I'm just good at tests/abstract thinking/hacking things together with duct tape. I'm terrible at software engineering, and really glad to see this kind of stuff being emphasized at the university level.
When buying call options the max loss is the purchase price. There's not a symmetric return as there is with owning stocks directly.
The reason you can make so much with so little capital is that the probability of the stock price moving above strike price of the call option is low assuming that the strike price is much higher than the current price and the expiration date is soon
I'd add shorting is expensive (borrowing fees or volatility premium on options) and more complex (margin/option approval etc). Plus the old adage that the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.
This is the broken window fallacy. If our goal is to increase employment rates then we should support policies that do so where human productivity is most efficient.
I'll chime in here (like I do in all these threads until it's fixed) but Google Home and Android Auto require all of these settings to be enabled last time I checked.
The vast majority of meat is not 100% grazed. You have a point, but it's largely a theoretical one. If one can find a source of meat that is 100% naturally grazed then they could probably go through similar effort to eat non-meat products produced in minimally destructive ways.
I damaged my company 2017 MBP by dropping it ~24" when I caught the cord on my foot. The Genius Bar wanted me to pre-authorize $800 of charges before they would even look at it. I was a bit appalled that I couldn't pay any kind of diagnostic fee.
I come to gardening with the same attitude. Basically if it doesn't grow well in my temperate climate then I just grow something else next year. Tomatoes, mint, and squash all grow like weeds and are super easy, peppers are finicky, and leafy greens are a battle against aphids.
That said, I know plenty of other hobby gardeners who treat their gardens as an exercise in optimization. Heck, I even know one engineer with a grid of (legal) marijuana plants who varies the nutrient composition of the soil in each planter to play with his quality/yield.
Wow, I've received frighteningly little interviewer training, but the "things to not say/consider" talking point has been reiterated strongly. That said, I can't say I'm surprised.
