Despite all the blood, I see a bull case for Tech and the USA. In the last 5 years:

1- The Nasdaq has gained 99.77% until it's peak. It has corrected by 17.41% since the peak. Total gains till today: 64.9%.

2- The Dow Jones has gained 65% till the peak. Corrected by 21.71% since then. Total gains till today: 35.85%.

3- CAC 40 has gained 20% in the last 5 years till the peak. Corrected by 22.12% in this sell-off. Total returns are -6%.

My thoughts:

- Tech used to go up more and down more. Now it went up more and down less. This is likely to encourage and push traditional investors to invest more in tech. They were afraid from tech because of the bloody downturns. Now tech holds better in a downturn, so that argument is no longer there.

- Europe is likely to be hit harder from this crisis since they rely a lot on Tourism. That means a harder recession. Europe tech sector is weak and unlikely to match its American counterpart growth in a EU slowdown.

- China might be the biggest loser in this. The world might realize we are depending too much on China. The US government might force company to build locally or outsource to friendlier countries they want to boost. China is not going to the dark ages but might face a slow down; though a social revolution is definitely not out of the question.

- The oil crisis, if prolonged, is going to change some countries. Look at Venezuela. Russia, Middle East, Algeria, Canada, etc... These countries might face budget challenges they have never been through before if oil goes below $20 for an extended time.

- The US tech sector being the only good-yield field and becoming a safe haven for investment in a world of worry and chaos will boom into a bubble of untold proportions.

Disclaimer: Not a professional advice. Might lose part of your money or all of your capital. Might be a total hopium from someone is the tech sector seeing lots of red today.
It's true that "race" is not used with the relative level of consistency and precision as other terms are, like "species", but it's important to remember that all of these categorisations have edge cases and grey areas. Saying that it is "arbitrary" is not helpful here, and can imply that it is "wholly arbitrary" which is wrong.

Warby Parker's purchasing/CS experience is incredible and I've been buying from them for at least 8 years now. But I think I may try one of the more corporate brands next time because I've just never been very satisfied with their lenses. Supposedly they use an anti-glare coating but in my experience I still get pretty bad reflections from screens and have to wipe them down multiple times a day because of how easily they smudge.

As much as I hate the idea of giving money to Luxottica, I'm more than willing to pay a premium for nicer lenses.

To be pedantic, that would not be a vaccine, that would be an anti-viral drug. What they were doing here is expressing parts of the actual corona virus antigens on a "baseplate" that could contain many copies of it, in the hope that the human immune system would catch up on it if presented to the body and the resulting antibodies would possibly be effective against the coronavirus.

Regarding antiviral drugs for this, the corona-virus entry mechanism was elucidated and candidate inhibitors for this were located in previous articles during the last week ( https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(20)30229-4 )
This seems like a very good example of how poor enforcement is. Child porn is very, very illegal, and gets "regular people" throw in prison for the rest of their lives just for having downloaded it and having it on their machines. Yet a big site like this can have it posted, and reposted, over and over, and that's perfectly OK.

Why is there no federal prosecution of not only the site for abetting, but also tracking down these ex-bfs or whoever it is uploading the videos? Usually, producing and knowingly distributing CP results in a very, very long prison sentence in the US.
Of course every country has its own share of idiots. According to the latest Korean news, some elderly lady moved from Daegu to her daughter's home at Seoul, had a flu-like symptom, went to one of the biggest hospitals in Seoul and lied five times that she wasn't from Daegu. Now they have to quarantine the hospital.

Well, at least she didn't claim that it was her constitutional rights to barge into random hospitals carrying virus. Cultural differences, I guess.

Yeah, I agree. I wrote some mortgage prepayment models in q for a while, but didn't dip into K itself. Q is fantastic as a database query language (assuming you have time-series databases and are mostly doing fairly simple operations.) Implementing a full model in it is fine, but can get hard to maintain.

Also it has (or had, maybe they fixed it) a bunch of weird quirks, like "sum foo" skipping all the NAs in a list while "+/foo" didn't, resulting in NaN. (Or maybe it was +/ over an int array didn't work while a double array did. I forget.) Arrays of dicts were immediately turned into tables, which didn't work the same as an array of dicts, etc.

But, yeah, it's not crazy implementing things in q/K, as long as they're mostly linear things. Trees are hard, iterative methods are hard, and it's really hard to skim code, other than to just rely on names and comments.
I respect the humility you demonstrated when accepting a correction, even if the correction was itself incorrect.
I believe that started around the time WeWork's IPO imploded. We're well past the beginning.
You mean they are genius in the sense that they get paid to manage other people's money?

Because the Harvard endowment, like most all other funds out there, generally fails to beat the market and has had down years even while the market was up. This is probably due to lower risk tolerance, but it doesn't really show that hyper geniuses are running it either.
Because it's both CONTAGIOUS and highly INFECTIOUS.
Those are very long meetings! I consider myself lucky to work somewhere that 30 minute meetings are the norm, and if longer ones are needed we try 45 minutes before taking up a full hour. Being strict about ending on time encourages efficient use of everyone's time.
So maybe 40x in line count if you compare an extremely verbose language like Java to K in this contrived example? That's not close to 100x and especially not close to 1000x.
Both of them have enacted extremely rigorous (some would say "draconian") quarantine procedures. They can't keep these procedures up forever without severely damaging their economy.

The problem is that coronavirus escaped and is now circulating worldwide. So as soon as they drop the quarantines, they're likely to end up reinfected from some other country. Most of the infections in the U.S. are now coming from Italy and Iran, not China. All it takes is one asymptomatic carrier (and evidence from South Korea and the Diamond Princess indicates that close to half of cases are asymptomatic) to start a local outbreak. The Washington State and Italian outbreaks were both started from a single undetected index case, for example (Washington State was the original index case from Wuhan in Seattle, Italy was traced back to the German car manufacture that had a local outbreak in early January).

You can't really stop a highly-infectious airborne disease with no natural immunity in the population. The best you can do is buy time to develop treatments or a vaccine, or hope that it mutates into something less virulent.
They could just be conservative about reporting resolution.

The reality seems to be that if you're not seriously ill after 7-10 days, it's unlikely you're going to end up on the critical list - never mind dead.

But cases aren't being marked resolved for 2-3 weeks, just in case.
Quoting you:

> You might end up with more money in the end than if you had never invested.

My reading of your comment was perhaps too harsh, but your statement implied to my initial reading as if the parent said they never invested. Which is not at all what they said, but rather that they kept cash in the bank and a separate amount invested. The cash is to avoid the risks of market timing (you can't do it, basically). People are getting lucky that right now they're still ahead on their investments. But there's no guarantee that will remain true over the next month or two when the money is actually needed.

And if you look at the S&P and Dow, the past 2 years are basically all lost if you had to sell right now. There was a dip in early 2019, but most of the past two years were above today's prices for both indexes. So you can plan on being lucky, or you can set aside a relatively small amount and actually plan.

I notice that there are many commenters here offering opinions on the future price of equities. Note that nobody has any idea where equity prices will be in one day, never mind one year or ten years' time. As a retail investor (i.e. not extremely rich), you can't gain any advantage over the market that overcomes your transaction costs.

So relax. There's nothing to do here. If you're contributing to a retirement fund, keep buying. As the market falls, you're getting a discount. If you need to retire in the next five years, you should already have started moving out of equities. It's too late to change that now.
Short squeezes are akin to declines in terms of the psychology involved.

Watchlist: Seven Promising Gaming Upstarts
For the exponential phase of the epidemic to kick in, you need a cluster that goes undetected for a week or so. For example it can be a young local person that just shrugs it off as a bad cold and meets a lot of people while he's sick---which is exactly what happened in Italy. Italy found out after someone that "shouldn't have gotten sick" ended up in the ICU with pneumonia and a clever doctor decided to test him for COVID-19. That was in mid February, one week before 10 municipalities were the first to be locked down.

Looking back at the January data, however, there were already more cases of pneumonia than usual in that same area and many of those that survived now have antibodies. And in fact, the strain that is hitting Italy was actually already present in Germany in January based on genome analysis; for whatever reason the real outbreak started a bit later in Germany than in Italy, but that's expected because the initial phases of the epidemic are random.
Immediate, "put credit card here," in my face is a big ole nope from me.
We really could refer to all of them as "corrections".
Honestly, the car manufacturers might not be amused at the concept of selling fewer more reliable cars

Competition takes care of that problem. If all but one of the carmakers try to avoid selling “fewer more reliable cars” then the remaining carmaker can sell “way more more reliable cars.”

This is what happened when Honda and Toyota came along as the US carmakers were making very unreliable cars.

How do you handle discrimination in your case?
I'll give you an example: 50% of your employees are young and healthy and they opt out of the health plan offered and go with Savvy.
How do you handle the remaining 50%, assuming that some of them are older, have cancer, or have kids with disabilities, diabetics or whatever.
Would ANY health plan accept to cover only the sick and old?
This is based a concept called mutualization.
I'll be interested by your point of view, or if any of your clients came across cases like that?
Step 1) come up with decent idea for $10million company
Step 2) get offered funding for a $200million company

Step 5) implode

>Let's call this the coronavirus

Because it's not "the coronavirus" any more than the Spanish Flu is "the flu". The Spanish Flu was one pandemic that happened with one strain of the flu; it's not the same flu that we get every year. Similarly, COVID-19 or whatever we end up calling it in the future is not "the coronavirus", because that term applies to MANY different viruses, including MERS and SARS.
But isn't part of the problem that very technical complexity? It seems time and time again that military acquisition projects are completely sunk by technical complexity that, when you really look at it, seems wholly unnecessary. Consider the famous story of army radio acquisition (e.g. SINCGARS and JTRS) running fantastically over-budget, over-schedule, and still providing poor reliability, all due to extreme complexity, while the Marine Corps has been very successful using off-the-shelf products made for rugged commercial use. In the case of radio systems, are the needs of the military really that different from the needs of e.g. the oil exploration industry and the freight dispatch industry?

I believe that a fundamental problem is that the defense-industrial complex intentionally exploits the acquisition process to drive up the complexity of every system to tremendous levels. This looks defensible because it's always easy (e.g. for a politician) to say that the military needs the best cutting-edge equipment, but it also contributes enormously to the profitability of defense contractors. This was a pretty swell strategy for the defense contractors but has turned out bad now that (and 'now' here is like the last 30 years) the complexity of many military systems has been increased beyond the ability of the contractors to actually deliver, even at the enormous agreed-upon prices. But it actually still works out fine, because the DoD, congress, etc. have totally failed to put the brakes on well after the complexity trainwreck has begun.

During the Gulf War the Marine Corps went to war with Banyan VINES practically bought out of the local big-box store. Now the AMHS is a fantastically complicated acquisition program that still seems inferior to Isode's "Military XMPP" offering - and then in practice soldiers are using Telegram. DoD tries to push an integration system to relay IMs from one system to another because they can't manage to standardize on any one product anyway. An IRC gateway is still a critical feature because, who knows how many millions of dollars later, IRC is still one of the most usable options available to the warfighter.

How much of this complexity is actually necessary, how much of this complexity is just the contractor's salesmanship?
I don't recommend any amount -- how much is "right" is too individual. Personally, I have two years pay in reserve. It's earmarked for funding a startup I'm planning, but could quickly and easily become emergency funds.
The primary difference is that private firms are generally held accountable for waste, while government frequently uses it as a justification for increased funding.
Mattresses were a notoriously opaque and user-hostile market. A decade ago I was working at a startup aimed at helping people make better purchasing decisions, and that was one of the top categories people mentioned struggling with.

Things are at least a little better now, in that at least the DTC companies have a clear set of options that get sold at reasonably clear price points.

What are your goals?

What work do you do now?

Why are you posting about an investment finance exam in a tech board?
The money your employer gives you can only be spent on insurance or medical expenses. So in your example you can buy the $250 plan and have $250 / month leftover to pay for prescriptions, doctor visits, or other medical expenses. You wouldn't be able to pocket the remainder as cash.
It's not. It's trading lingo. If the pricing was on a downturn "losses", then an upward move is a correction.
They aren't meaningless, in fact in most companies there is specific defined meanings to them, and in some companies the definitions include the culture that is expected to be promoted by that level (team work, etc).

It allows you to grow in your career, have clear expectations around role and responsibilities.

I've written a lot of Go, it's always struck me as about as maintainable as Python (I would put it at a bit more maintainable than Python given its mature static typing story--mypy still has lots of problems). I haven't given Cython a fair shake, but it doesn't seem very well-invested in; this is generally what has kept me away from it.
The risk of the communication being compromised isn't necessarily the sole concern. There are also varying levels of consequences for various types of communication for different countries. When it comes to a country that has developed extensive censorship mechanisms and it's casually accepted that one could face a visit from the police or jailed for criticizing its leader or party it doesn't seem completely arbitrary to have some additional concern when it comes to that country possibly compromising your communication.

Any "Twitter is a _ propaganda channel" seems a bit odd when you consider that users choose who to follow, who to block, what topics to follow, what keywords to mute, whether or not to see targeted ads, etc. Twitter might be able to do a better job of tackling outright misinformation that spreads on the platform and they aren't always perfect when it comes to banning or suspending accounts (or failing to do so), but in general it's hard to say that a platform is just a propaganda channel for a specific ideology when it is inhabited by a diverse range of incompatible ideologies. Users tend to sort themselves into bubbles of like-minded accounts, but that is on users rather than Twitter.
