Do you think it is possible to maintain solar/wind for an extended period of time given the reliance on rare earth minerals that it would create? Also one argument that I haven't heard answered is how to handle the non-biodegradab

I think volatility is an issue for any broker. Does RH wait to confirm an order until they find a counterparty or does their system just accept it and then find someone to clear it with after the fact? If it's the latter, and they find

If they process an order 'late' the price change could swing in their favor and they would end up netting the difference. FXCM got caught for this in FX years ago, skimming fractions of pennies off the trades for millions in profi

I am pretty sure they're a broker who hedges their positions with a counterparty. Otherwise, they would be taking on the risk themselves? But I think my math was backwards on the closing transaction. If the spreads widen they would tec

Rh was probably losing money on widening spreads. If a client buys and holds and volatility increases and spreads widen, when the client closes out the trade, Rh will eat the difference in the spreads. If a client opens a short position and

These are scientifically unsubstantiated claims but to claim that they are impossible is to go beyond the scope of the current science. We have a default stance on this, the 'null hypothesis' that states that these are not possibl

I'm just saying that there should be a kind of agnosticism which 'pure' science is very conscious of and therefore chooses its words carefully when it says things like 'we have not found evidence for x'. This is ver

I think his point is that it would be more helpful to everyone if people remained agnostic to things that they haven't properly investigated instead of actively denying them simply because the research hasn't been done yet. This k

The most convincing explanation that I heard was that by building up a tolerance in your body to carbon dioxide, you actually train your body to oxygenate itself better. CO2 dilates blood vessels and helps transport oxygen where it needs t

So, the answer to that for you would be to just not go. Thailand is more than just one beach. Many people enjoy this party, I met one girl in Thailand who was a local and loved it, I don't see why you'd be happy about other people

Have you actually read through these cases? Looking through all the cases in the 2000s they are all basically cases of hypochondria on a larger scale. There's no instances of mass independent sightings of UFOs there. Just because you c

Yes, because they deserve to state their case like anybody else. If they're wrong, they'll be proven to be as much. Personally, I'm vaccinated for all the major stuff of course, but I don't do flu shots. A friend of mine

MSM takes the same stance any time the US wants to go to war and, each time, the country invaded ends up worse off than it was under the dictator they had before.

Yes, let's have Netflix and Amazon decide what is a legitimate view. If you don't like it don't watch it. Unless these films are actively calling for violence (I dont know if they are) I don't see what the problem is.

Ethically, if the information is in the public interest, ie it exposes some corruption or something illegal that the government is doing that is a detriment to the people it's representing then I think the answer is obviously yes. Fro

A peaceful protest that is non-cooperative in nature will eventually be noticed. If they leave when the authorities tell them to leave (Occupy Wall Street) then yes you are correct.
