Since you were thinking of Sweden as you specified in another comment... Sweden isn't locked down and has never been locked down during the pandemic. The covid patients in Sweden don't have a higher death rate than other countries [0], its health care system never failed so that would be surprising. Economic impact no idea, the stock market in Sweden is doing great but that doesn't tell us much.

Tesla can grow and sell tons of cars and the stock price might still fall.

Cisco Systems is a great example of a fantastically profitable business with a stock price that's still below peak. It's an incredibly successful company that makes more than $10 billion in profit every year. The stock price is still below the March 2000 peak.

If Tesla "only" made $20 billion in profit a year, the market would probably consider it a failure. Expectations are high.

I can see the bull case for Tesla becoming a multi-trillion dollar company or the bear case. Hard to assess Burry's position without knowing the expiration date and strike price of his puts.
I've asked myself the same, and can only think of two reasons why they focus on if it came from a lab.

(1) people like dramatic scandalous stories, in general.
(2) knowing such might drive some prevention of whatever mistake lead to such from recurring.
Fair enough! Still, I'm thinking many javascript pages query to find out the browser environment and also act accordingly. I do agree with the security complaint, however I also like web apps.

I do think that you are sort of implying that web applets can't determine which jvm they're running under, is this really the case? Was there any reason that the java webapp folks prevented the applet from inquiring of the java version?

This page chats about the version stuff for applets, it seems even with applets there was some options for picking the java version:

https://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/deplo...

You've made a nice argument for bundling the jvm so maybe I should change my inclination there, especially since I do like avoiding depencencies.
This of course assumes they are not already doing so. "What are you talking about, that's gibberish-" You start to reply. But of course that would be exactly the response of a human controlled by a machine.

Discover Weekly is once a week: on Mondays.
You're thinking of Daily Mixes, of which there are 6 that update throughout the week, one playlist per day.

To go along with Discover Weekly there's also a Release Radar playlist that updates every Friday with that week's new releases from your artists.

Spotify is so deeply engrained into my weekly schedule that I really look forward to the Discover Weekly and Release Radar playlists bookending my work weeks.
> Tesla also has a really good profit margin.

Their net profit margin is barely 2%.[1]

I would not call it good by any stretch.

By contrast Apple has a 25% net margin[2]. That is what I call good.

> Bureacracies like WHO will NEVER EVER say that it came from a Chinese lab.

Why do you care if you will NEVER EVER believe it didn't?
I don't think so. I don't like reddit, but none of this is actually meaningful. Their active user rate has gone up exponentially since the redesign. People getting banned globally is standard on other social media networks, and the vast majority of redditors aren't banned from any subreddits (with actual global site bans being incredibly rare, too).

There's no reason that reddit would collapse if they maintain the status quo, because the status quo (while worse) is still better than 90% of other sites on the internet. The average quality of user has gone down, but that's inevitable online.
Helium is extremely limited and cannot be manufactured at any appreciable scale (you're not dealing with typical chemistry, but physics. Helium is an element.)

What we have naturally comes from radioactive decay deep in the earth. This will continue for some time, but it's a fixed, slow rate.

Helium evaporates into space. Once it's gone, it's gone for good.

The other options we have are hydrogen (extremely reactive), heated oxygen (also reactive), methane (reactive), ammonia...

It's a hard problem.
Not sure if they outperform on a risk adjusted basis but both UPRO and TMF are 3x levered (55%/45% weight)

A more fair comparison would be like 33% UPRO and 66% TMF. This would get you a portfolio that is similar to SPY, but with some leveraged treasuries on top.

Regardless, bonds have done really well due to the drop in interest rates over the last 10 years and I doubt they can go any lower. Bonds will probably perform a lot worse in the future, unless the fed wants to try out negative rates (unlikely).

Also you don't need them to disclose their returns, you can construct your own version: https://www.portfoliovisualizer.com/backtest-portfolio

Edit: constructing the portfolio, it does seem to outperform SPY on a risk adjusted basis, with a Sharpe of 1.25 from 2010-2021. However, my caveat about bonds still stands.
Does that ever actually happen? I thought that a margin call would come far before it reached that point, limiting the damage to any of the involved parties.
Jet fuel is flammable, but hardly explosive in the same sense that hydrogen is.
That's when you sell a covered call.

When you sell a put, your obligation is to pay the strike to buy someone else's shares.

For instance, AMD is trading at $77. Let's say I'm long-term bullish on AMD, but don't want to pay more than $70 for it. I can sell $70 puts every week, collect the premium up front, and then if AMD closes below $70 on the expiration date of my short put, I'm obligated to pay $70 for the shares, even if they're trading much lower. I win because I get to collect the premium no matter what, and if I get assigned, I bought at a discount to the market price when I sold the puts.

A covered call gives you the obligation to sell your shares to someone else if the option expires in the money. This is a great way to exit a position, for the same reason. You can sell calls repeatedly at the lowest price you'd accept for your shares, and if it moves down, you've hedged. If it moves up, and you get assigned, you sold for above market price as compared to when you sold the call.

> So, what do you do when you want to send 'key release' events over SSH when the target machine doesn't have an X server? Well, you have to build your own client/server application where a client/server listens locally on the machine with the keyboard, and then forwards these events to the remote machine where you're running the applications that needs to respond to these events. That sounds like a lot of work because you have to set up all the sockets and custom messaging protocols, but there's no way around it because the key release events simply aren't forwarded over your terminal-based SSH session when there is no X server forwarding configured.

This isn't that much work if you write it as a trivial Web app using WebSockets. Then you can leverage the browser's OS abstraction layer instead of having to write your own.
Huh, I thought the consensus was that inflation generally favoured workers and disadvantaged asset owners. I learned that the comparable value of assets is eroded by inflation, but (eventually) wages must rise to accommodate higher prices. Granted there is much ado about stagnant wages lately, but it has held in the past.
> but how often do the audio production guys use such speakers, and how often do they try to control for the feeling in their bodies? Not often, I imagine.

Yes, but we're talking about 5 digit and up audio equipment and listening to the top operas of the world, which definitely do have guys that know how to record. Your 10$ (or 250$) headphones combined with a CD from a smaller producer will not get you all the way there, I agree, but once you're in the insane high-price audiophile world, this becomes possible.
I see this argument pop up quite frequently on HN with good amount of upvotes. I am guessing this type of arguments are motivated by and upvoted because of poltical and ideological ulterior motives.

I think there's also something more insidious at play. In western countries lot of people have become rich by exporting manufacturing to China. If somehow it is found that COVID was a lab-leak, there'd be a huge amount of backlash against China. It will harm the business, who are doing their manufacturing in China. There's a lot of money involved if lab-leak hypothesis turned out true.
Ya, that's what I meant. If I started at a company and my manager micromanaged me—especially with no clear reason why—I'd feel like this company isn't for me. No negative feedback isn't terribly surprising given that I don't know anyone besides myself inclined to actually say anything about an issue. Out of curiosity though, have you ever received negative feedback about anything, or given it yourself explicity before being more "hands-on"?

No, all the choices have already been made.

The data have already been destroyed. The Wuhan lab where this research was taking place also had a leadership change, and is now run by someone in the military. That happened in March or April of 2020, IIRC.

Chinese researchers and journalists disappeared in that time frame (their work was deleted from online archives, their names removed from public employment listings... etc.).

I have family in China, and we watched all this happen. These are the things that happened in public. The Western press was too busy with "oh my gosh, we should probably stop flights now" to take serious notice. Then the whole thing became politicized (in the U.S., at least) and if you made statements like "this started in Wuhan, in the lab there, not in the animal market next to it," you were called racist, even though race had nothing to do with it.

We can ask until the cows come hom. The evidence is gone, disposed of by a series of decisions made more than a year ago.

If I borrow $300,000 at 2% interest and lend it to you at 5% interest, I have an asset based on my loan to you and a liability based on my debt to whoever loaned me the same amount.

They don't net out -- if you default, my asset will disappear without taking the liability with it. But it might be strange to say that I'm worth $300,000 based on my debt, when the whole concept of that debt is that it's theoretically guaranteed by, and related to, that asset. This combined situation does not suggest that I'm personally worth $300,000; I'm earning the difference in interest, and my debt to my creditor is based mostly off of your net worth, not my net worth.
As a native speaker of Slovenian and a decent speaker of Serb/Croatian this is not true for these particular Slavic languages.

That's like saying prime is great because it means fast shipping for everyone, as if Amazon will share access or some less wealthy entity can easily replicate. Maybe you haven't noticed this trend, but new internet technology comes pre-mono/duopolized thanks to the existence of big tech cos, or at least quickly gets absorbed by them. The trend is strongly away from end user control of tech, and that will continue not for the oft claimed reasons of safety or user experience, but specifically for social control.

They could do something like Sentinel's 10m/px, but looking at those images [1] I don't see the advantage of updating that more often than the once every few days we already have from Sentinel.

To make near-realtime interesting you need something closer to 1m/px where you can clearly make out cars. But at that point the optics and camera take more mass than a normal star link satellite. They would become earth observation satellites with an internet uplink, not the other way around.

I have a lot of experience with this coming from a background in healthcare. We are not HIPAA compliant yet, so that might be a dealbreaker for some.

There are workarounds, eg for database connectors, and some other connectors, we let you specify which schemas/tables/columns to sync, so you can choose to not sync PII columns (or hash them), and still get a ton of value from the other data and/or aggregates.

And not for PHI, but some of our customers pull all their data into Mozart, write some data transformations within Mozart to redact sensitive data, then use role-based-access-control to give the rest of the company full access to redacted tables, and only certain people have access to the full data.

That said, the security of our customers' data is our top priority regardless of what type of data it is. We're currently in the process of being audited for SOC2 type2.

As we learned in the last election cycle, the Truth is a matter of populism.

If Wuhan lab leak were 'truth' - without hard evidence and a bold international campaign to forcefully make people aware ... then China would be able to hide behind a cloud of whataboutery and changing the subject.

Unless there is some kind of genetic linkage etc..

I also feel that some US authorities wouldn't want the truth to be fully known lest there be unpredictable repercussions and 'worries about Anti Asian Hate Crime' and those kinds of things, preferring to handle it 'behind closed doors'.

It would be great if we could arrive at some kind of objective truth, not holding my breath.
