I work in levered hedge fund strategies, so I have some insight here, although I don't negotiate financing myself. Banks tailor leverage to your strategy, so if your strategy is just to go long good stocks you won't get anything like 6X leverage. 6X leverage is realistic for a strategy that is long and short equal dollar amounts, and also carefully controls other risks besides dollar exposures.

Also, you have to be fairly big to get that kind of leverage. $100 million is probably too small but $1B might be enough.

So you put up $1B of your own money, and a bank would let you go long $3B and short $3B. The idea is that your longs hedge your shorts well so you can't lose too much.

Obviously, in the case of Archegos the shorts didn't hedge the longs well.
If a billionaire wants to blow their money on a risky bet, why should the SEC stop it? The $20B he "lost" went into the market and everyone, including retail investors, benefitted. The losers are Hwang and the banks Credit Suisse and Nomura, each of which will do a better job of assessing this kind of risk in the future. Hwang didn't have any outside capital so no one's 401k or personal holdings were affected.

If Inflation Markers are up, that increases pressure on the Federal Reserve to reduce QE and eventually even increase rates. When that happens liquidity will be removed from equity markets reducing valuations. If there were a smaller increase in Consumer Prices then the flow of liquidity into equities could continue unabated. That was the expectation. The markets are adjusting to these new facts on the ground.
You're describing an 'infinite energy' device. The Cummins link does not support your claim, no credible firm or engineer will claim to be able to do this.

This is a problem with "then-hot" technologies. A number of years back, I was approached by a technical publisher to do a book on OpenStack. I wasn't the right person anyway and passed. But even if I had been, by the time a book would have realistically gotten to market, say 12-18 months, it would have been 3 versions back of the current project.

I'm still going with batteries for the short haul trips, with trains for longer. There are too many roads to cost effectively electrify them all, that means there will always be short trips (my driveway at least) that need battereis. While we can electrify freeways rail is cheaper by far.

Without a comparison to the original pictures, they do look very good, the roads in particular look more realistic, as though taken from a dashcam or medium quality phone camera. However the foliage just looks blurred.

A lot of (interactive) CGI already looks more realistic than this. Take for example, this Australian scene made in Unreal Engine 4 - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pg75bfkegtU

I'm 32. Control over my feelings has always been important to me as a way to survive an abusive household when growing up.

I've noticed it has become easier for the following reasons:

* I've been through worse.

* Time flies faster when you're older.

* Having experience means I have an explanation for most of the things I experience around me.

* I can assign words and concepts to what I feel, making it easier to understand what I experience inside of me.

* I've seen people die. I accept death as a possible outcome and rationalize it for what it is: part of life. Like a dreamless sleep, like before I was born, which wasn't so bad.
Worse than that. In some circles it's not enthusiastically agreeing or expressing any kind of reservation as well.

Amazing work, you mad lad. And not that many lines of code in my opinion—you’re good. Do you feel you are missing any error handling or other infrastructure? How do you feel about C as a vehicle for that size project? Looks quite manageable to me.
It comes down to never lie about anything when you are being interviewed for a clearance. They will always find out. If you hide things, then you could be blackmailed as you where unwilling to admit to them in the interview. Yes, there where hard checks based on social normals at the time. Being gay used to be an issue, as wrong as that was. But at the same time, drugs, being a drunk, hitting your wife (prone to violence) etc. were also items on the list. Anything that could cause public embarrassment that you could sell out to avoid.
Sure, but in the context of Australia, we are talking halving 9, 12+ hour flight times, which is a much larger improvement than the measly transatlantic flight.

Common question. You cannot do column and matrix operations natively against S-Expressions (You need to parse the whole thing). This turns out to be very important and useful. S-Expressions need to be transversed in 1-D linear order.

When you two-dimensionalize S-Expressions and remove the parens, you get Tree Notation.
Plus, something people often forget is that the features required to polyfill and the features required to produce a proof-of-concept/prototype are really quite similar.

This is fun. You often people say “death gives life meaning” which is absurd, as if the meat and potatoes of day-to—day obligations, chores, hobbies and friendships are influenced in any way by the fact that the chain of experiences will eventually end. I don’t imagine that I’m 14ky old, but I do make decisions as if I might never die, and if I do, I try to keep in mind the implications for my as-yet-nonexistent grandchildren.
Obviously not the same, but this has a lot of overlap to introverted vs extroverted leadership.

Not that East Asians are introverted by nature, but just that many of the same discriminating factors are in play.

I did technical reviewing for a while. What frustrated me most was when I would say, "this isn't right, it's more nuanced than that" and they would come back and say, "this is a book for beginners so we'll just leave it the way it is".

So now my name is attached to incorrect information, and occasionally someone will message me and tell me why I was wrong and I have to message them back and say, "well I told them to fix it but they ignored me".
> Can someone ELI5 why inflation causes the markets to go down rather than up?

It's only going down relative to previous highs because institutional investors are expecting to be able to get better returns by lending instead of by investing in equity.

The reason they expect to get better returns by lending is because they expect the FED to react to rising CPI by raising interest rates.

> If there’s a market sell off due to inflation, where are those dollars going?

Anything that returns more. Mostly towards lending to humans, businesses, funds, countries what have you.

Maybe also towards commodities which are essential and people will continue to pay for them (oil, copper)

Inflation hedges such as gold and more recently, crypto which is turning out to be an excellent hedge against US Dollar.

All of this still sucks for anyone being payed in cash. We are all just puppets in financial games.
I don't think much of the Starship fanbase is watching 'Loco Vlogs'. As much as you can characterize an internet fanbase (very difficult to do) I don't believe the fanbase will ever get mad for SpaceX or the authorities going after trespassers. Trespassers cause delays and present a risk to the program we all want to see succeed.

SpaceX has been very cooperative with the fanbase, allowing photographers and different outlets to come onto the property and setup cameras for streaming.

I can see the fanbase getting upset if they change something with that, but I just don't see them getting upset over a trespasser being punished.

You can also scout the top conferences/journals in your niche (i.e. where your prof. publishes) and pick a template you like. The templates are typically linked with every CfP, and you can expect that they will have worked-out the common cases for their field.

Dissens: Decentralized Identities for Self-sovereign End-users
I'm always surprised when people make statements like this, where the information-asymmetry is not in there favor and the game theory is not in there favor.

Consider the options:

[prefers office, is engaged]

[prefers office, not engaged]

[prefers home, is engaged]

[prefers home, not engaged]

People who prefer the office won't care about his statement because it doesn't effect them. People who prefer home but are not engaged won't care, because they're not engaged. The only people who will care about his statement are those who prefer home and know that they are engaged. Those people now think he's an idiot because they know he's wrong and is publicly making a fool of himself.

It's like when a jealous teen calls out their boyfriend/girlfriend for cheating on them. They're hoping their bluff will reveal some information, but all it does is expose themselves as having a jealousy problem. I'm embarrassed for him.
I hope this inspires someone to make a new kick ass RTS.

This distinction between hedge fund and family office is of no use here. His fund was only a family office in that it didn't take money from investors. It operated just like a hedge fund and was not free of any rules that would have prevented this loss from happening had it been officially recognized as a hedge fund.

The proper way to read the value is actually a bit more code that `parseInt`. You should be using the Parser API's `CSSNumericValue.parse`.

Realistically these are things that can make look nice by utility functions.

That's an incredibly fair take on the situation.

And it does make sense of the difference in sentencing. Deric's crime was related to the rape case, but nothing they did affected it. They didn't garner any new indictments or convictions, they just stirred the shit.
Limited liability entities (e.g. corporations, LLCs, etc) are one of the legal cornerstones our economy. Anyone can form one, but it takes expert (thus expensive) advice from a lawyer to make sure you are in compliance and thus really protected - either as a shareholder or an agent of the company. This makes sense when a lot of money is at stake.

To be clear: the entity is liable for the debts it incurs but not necessarily its shareholders or agents. If it cannot pay its debts it goes into bankruptcy and is either reorganized with its creditors as its new owners or liquidated and sold.
> Target middle school reading level. Short sentences & simple words. Technical audiences want information and don't care much about literary prose.

Also, don't bury the lede, but put the main points in the first paragraph, then elaborate on them throughout the rest of the essay.

The Abstract in academic papers is a good example - state the problem, explain how you addressed/explored it, and report your conclusions. Don't bury your conclusions in the paper, but use the paper to elaborate in detail on how you arrived at them.

As for targeting middle school reading level, Scott Adams has a good writeup on exactly how to do that:

I've had interesting exchanges with a guy who does work on CouchDB. That is built with Erlang and should scale quite well in what sounds like a resilient way. Haven't dug in.

Horizontal scaling of the DB seems like a problem in many architectures. For SQL I'd be looking at CockroachDB as it is Postgres-compatible and is built with scaling out in mind. Haven't tried it though. Most of my work hasn't needed that for the DB recently.
This is something anyone has access to. The price of registering and maintaining some sort of corporation (LLC, etc) is in the $100-$400/yr range depending on state. Most people obviously don't find it's worth the hassle, obviously, and it comes with additional troubles like paperwork and taxes, but the barrier is not all that steep.

The limited-liability corporation structure moreover has some majorly useful properties for society. For instance, you probably own some shares of a major pharmaceutical company in your portfolio (through a retirement fund). If the company loses a lawsuit related to, say, the opioid epidemic, and owes billions, and goes totally bankrupt, then you can 100% lose your stake in the company as it is turned over to creditors — but those creditors cannot go after you personally as an owner of the corporation for every dollar that you own; your liability is limited. This has democratized investing a lot, and individual investors benefit quite a bit, as they have lesser risk tolerance than the billionaires.

However, the limitation of liability is a reason prudent lenders ought consider the risks inherent in lending to you. For instance, if you bring an adequate down payment, and you are using the proceeds to purchase an asset that has some reasonable value — the worst case is they're stuck with a building still worth something, plus the down payment. The problem, again, is when taxpayers end up becoming imprudent lenders because of policy or bailouts.

Job offer won't budge on IP clauses? Am I being unreasonable?
After a very lengthy interview process with a big company, I revived a job offer. I've been on a shortish sabbatical and working on several side projects. The contract has IP clauses. Naturally, I asked for an IP background form so my projects could be excluded from the agreement. I received the following (paraphrased) response:

If the projects are "truly independent", then there is no need for such a form. And if it isn't, then they are not willing to wavier anything.

The problem is that my projects involve programming and data science (in some niche AI corners). The job is a data science/programming job. Clearly, there is overlap - hence I wanted to be upfront and get said projects excluded. For clarity were didn't even get a chance to discuss projects, simply asking for the IP background form garnered the above response.

Am I being unreasonable here? This should have been very straight forward. I'm not sure how to follow this up. The statement is vague, as is "truly independent" is obviously open to interpretation. Has anyone dealt with this before? I'm not sure whether to:

i) push back and explain the situation again. Perhaps I haven't been clear enough, and this is a miss communication? Or they are simply parting me off, naively assume that this is my first rodeo?
ii) have a lawyer review the contract - this is costly, and I have had previous contracts reviewed before; the language is nigh on identical to contracts I've had beforehand. "in the course of your employment," etc. It is sufficiently vague enough that I felt having an IP background form would the most prudent approach.
ii) walkway. I have plenty of savings and have had numerous job offers during my sabbatical. But I am worried about being unemployable at some point.

These projects may amount to nothing, I have started monetising them.
What would you do? Am I unreasonable? Am I silly walking away from a job in this economy?

The Javascript ecosystem is dismal. It's very disparate and there's a million ways to do one simple task, compounding that is that things that sound like simple tasks, like rendering a page, are actually not.

If you want a place to start, where the ecosystem is fairly beginner friendly and consolidated, checkout Vue and Nuxt.js. I recently explored every possible frontend for Go that I could find: desktop, web, or otherwise. The fact is that HTML, JS, and CSS still produce the best experience for the end user. Vue and Nuxt made it really easy to produce a hybrid Server Side Rendered and Client Side Rendered (aka Universal) app with still a significant amount of effort, but with that effort directly improving my UI rather than my build environment or configuration.
I wonder about the kind of manager that actually thinks that.
