Your instinct is correct. Options markets are wide following an IPO (ie there is a significant difference between the price at which a dealer will sell a specific option at a specific strike for a specific time). That tends to settle down ~

Goldman took the same approach with instrument pricing ~30 years ago. I recall long discussions about "Node Purpling" in my ~13 year tenure there. Computer Science has evolved, and AFAICT this is not a graph approach, but things l

I was sad to see this, but a natural conclusion for a Google Product (whose history of non-search products is lamentable). Google Fiber / GFiber did a lot to both fulfill the promise of Universal Broadband AND challenge perception of w

If you are waiting until undergraduate level to take ethics, it's far too late to matter anyways. Doubly so for "business ethics" classes which became à la mode in the post-Enron era. They attempt to teach fundamental ethics,

I moved to Asia from London / NY. I found this draconian policy jarring at first (never a drug user, but casual cocaine / pot use was everywhere in both London and NY, and the usual cocktail of whatever was fashionable too). You g

And of course, peculation means misappropriating or embezzling funds. Again, given crypto (and certain notorious crypto exchanges), even more appropriate.

A quick inspection of the article suggests there's a difference of intent. <snip> Datoviz is a relatively low-level visualization library. It focuses on rendering visual primitives like points, lines, images, and meshes — efficie

I'm not sure how much that's creating outsized income for the founder... There are between 98 (2022 annual report number) and 120 (ZoomInfo) and 133 (LinkedIn number). German filings are notoriously opaque vs Europe or UK. So that

This is a really fun app. I took a painting class for a few years in an effort to exercise the other side of the brain - and this does what I failed to do with tens of hours of effort with GIMP, and no amount of prompt magic could do with $

I liked the idea of tako - a slightly slimmed down, less clunky, version of Xonsh. However, it requires significant patching in order to work with modern python (I tried with 3.12, but I believe some of the breaking changes occur in 3.9+).

Brit / American checking in and agreeing. My first startup was a B2B SaaS and hiring in the UK was fantastic - the arbitrage was just silly. Experienced software developers (10+ years) @ GBP 70k / year - and that was close to non-

A lot of discussion focuses on the supply side (not unexpected given the article). The demand side is where we can take individual / small group action. On the one hand, you have CA (and most of the US) phasing out incandescent light b

BTW - the fictitious calendar is very often used in bond repayments - e.g. https://www.lawinsider.com/dictionary/bond-payment-dates It has historically been used to allow for bonds to have uniform repayments across mat

Trivial pedantry - but the phrase is more commonly _requiescat in pace_ pacem would be the accusative[0] vs the ablative[1] - the difference being him being peaceful in rest, vs his rest being peaceful. Nonetheless, I echo your sentiment. [

While I certainly don't encourage over-policing or the proliferation of "rules" - I subscribe to Churchill's view on regulations [0] - I'm not sure I can entirely fault the police in the above quoted passage - &quot

Some questions come to mind after poking around the catalogue (having worked in an enterprise that ended up with many API catalogues, and now many APIs in startup land, I get the pain point). - What's the difference between currency an

I just read the article (shamefacedly seeking confirmation bias - I wanted to say "Oracle bad") - but I ended up agreeing with her main points: 1) most of the "third party security researchers" customers were hiring were

Depends on your definitions of cheap and large. Some banks are very good at FX in the 5,6,7 figure range. Others aren't. Fidelity, for example, charges no fee but a 1% spread, which is a "hidden" fee. FirstRepublic charges .0

Using Linear on an 8 person team. Refugees from JIRA in the corporate world. Absolutely love it - keeps us on track across time zones. The one piece that's probably missing is a tie in to broader "roadmapping" software - I kn

Consider adding a Crossfilter or something similar that shows how many results exist in the criteria you are narrowing by. Eg: https://github.com/crossfilter/crossfilter For a working example - see the flight search re

Why bother with the .99? Why not just charge €6 / €5 - the .99 gambit is, IMHO trivially deceptive and - speaking for myself - if I am presented two purchase / subscription choices that are approximately equal, I will usually choo

I fly frequently from London to New York and San Francisco. The flights are quite fast - but here's the killer: in New York and San Francisco (and London if you aren't going near or via Paddington) - the trip from the Airport to m
