It’s a skewed distribution based on age. No age group has a death rate of 10%

Exactly. These looks are made all the timer because lenders make money on them. LBOs happen all the time because most parties make money.

Doesn’t have anything to do with “having to sell out.” Often management gets rollover equity and participates in the upside of the deal.

How can you argue that this strategy is a “good guideline” of what they are planning to do with this asset when it’s only been the result of 15% of previous assets?

Any firm will attempt to achieve as close to a monopoly as regulators allow, as that’s how you maximize margins and thus value to shareholders.

The only thing guaranteed about VC backed companies is that their investors are looking for outsized returns.

RH doesn’t let you short naked calls, you have to hold shares as collateral, I’m not sure what happened.

Lab grown diamonds. Moissanite and CZ don’t look the same. Lab grown diamonds are chemically identical.

Logointern.com works pretty well too

That depends on if you are a platform or a publisher.

Depends on the company and your priorities. Do you want to maximize income? Then make sure you work somewhere where ICs have a lot of advancement potential built into the org. Also don’t think that this track avoids politics, you still need to play the people game.

But how elastic is that demand? Would they have the same amount if the price was higher?

They are often named in lawsuits. The cushy $100k/yr can easily be eaten up by legal fees.

There are real technical challenges here. Lighter skin has more contrast between light and dark.

Correct, they package them up in CDOs and sell them off.

Banks shouldn’t have a ton of this stuff on their balance sheets because of post ‘08 changes. The more likely parties to be damaged are asset managers.

I think Lenovo has the best chassis build quality but still doesn’t quite compare to Apple

This just provides a cost advantage though right? I mean that’s great, love me some margin, but it’s not really a new frontier. Unless I’m wrong?

FPGAs have been around for quite awhile. Is something changing?

Interesting it’s possible that we have different priorities, but I’m not bothered by UI inconsistencies. I use chrome, office, adobe suite, a trading application, games, VSCode, they all have different interfaces that I know how to navigate. I agree that the settings can be tough. Half the time you are in “new” stuff and half the time you’re pulling up the screens from XP. I just google what I need to do though, and never have trouble getting it done.

PC + WSL + somewhat illicit OS X VM has been a dream for me as a former Mac user.

Some fold, some raise wages, some invest in automation. Inflation is possible, but not guaranteed.

Ironically, acquiring generally lowers the acquirer’s stock price in the short term.

Has anyone ever interacted with a chat bot to which they did not just type “agent” until they got a human?

Agreed. There is a ton of “things will never be the same” sentiment. That just cannot be true.

The market can stay irrational longer than you can hold OTM Uber puts.

Markets are so wonked that both companies would shoot up on this. No way this creates that much value.

I’m in nyc and I’m ready to do that. I will do my part to protect the community by wearing a mask etc, but less than 500 people age 25-34 have died of this in the US. It approaches crossing the street risk.

What we really need is a graph over time of each metric by area. Wish this was easily available by API.

Exactly this is why I don’t understand the folks who think inflation is a purely monetary phenomenon. With demand shocks like this how can we not have deflation?
