I would like to buy a Reverse Iron Butterfly on the trajectory of this trader's life.

My understanding is that having material nonpublic information is not—in itself—enough to make a trade illegal. As long as you're a true outsider, and didn't get that info using illegal means, you can trade on it. Maybe this whale

Those buildings and equipment and patents may have value, but less than the bonds, loans, and other liabilities IBM also has. Not only could IBM be worth $0, it could be worth less than that. Things are worth whatever people are willing to

Let's assume the poker dealer is working a scam with one of the players, "Sam." On this particular hand, the scam is falling apart. Maybe Sam didn't pick up on a signal, or he has gotten out of sync with the plan. The de

Yeah, I see that on the desktop. Unfortunately (for me) my main interface to YT is through the AppleTV app, which doesn't let me sort by anything at all. When viewing a channel, I see several horizontal lists. The first one ("Uplo

That cynicism you have about those studies is probably because you don't eat enough eggs. Or too many. I'm not sure...

Yeah, after reading the link you posted above, I get what you're talking about. Fully agree. I should be able to select any arbitrary notification and enable repeated alerts for it. Not just calls or texts or whatever, but anything t

Are you talking about repeated alerts? “Missed Call” is a notification I regularly see in my Notification Center, but it does only make an alert sound once: immediately after the call stops ringing.

It didn’t even occur to me that ABS pipe is pretty much only used for drainage and vents. I think it’s still probably decent to have unrated pipe tear smoothly rather than rated pipe—over pressured—shatter? I guess the pro move is to either

Not only that, but my joke fails when it comes to stringing up a wire alongside a high-voltage power line. (Like that urban legend about the farmer who got "free" energy by stringing the wire along his fence) Not only is our farme

If you steal baryons, it’s “theft”. If you steal leptons, it’s “piracy”. Pretty simple, really.

I know this is a tangent, but it’s unlikely great grandpa only lived to 40. Even 100 years ago, someone who was 39 would be expected to live another 28 years on average. All those low life expectancy numbers were due to high infant- and chi

This is a good objection. The family punishment scenario must include the massive “background suffering” that is created solely by the policy existing.

This is why I'm fanatical about using proper Tables in Excel wherever possible. Any db-like kind of data is first turned into a table, then I work with it using whatever formulas, code, or tools I need to. Half the time this means dr

Heh. When reading that Wikipedia article, they only referenced European (and UK) countries in their "Adoption and Bans" section. That kinda made me view the entire world as "The US or EU/UK", and—with that anchori

In the US, the dishwasher discharge hose is often piped into the garbage disposal unit under the sink. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Garbage_disposal_unit Looks like those units are really uncommon in Europe.

The rocks aren't the carbon sink in this process. They're a concentrating mechanism. They sit there and absorb CO2 from the air, then the kiln process is used to pull the CO2 from the rock to whatever sink they're using.
