At one on the previous jobs I wrote a tool which takes a list of bonds/equities trades and ties buys and sells in order to count PnL. The idea was any sell should be connected with one or several buys/repos. Like, I sell 100 bonds , so I should take them from 5 buys in correct order (FIFO).

It seems easy to do this but there are tricky operations like REPOs when you have to 'borrow' papers from a reversal REPO to perform a sell or REPO operation. Then you should close this hole with a next papers arrival. I wanted to attach some web interface to visualize these crazy buys-sells-repos chains but at some moment I left that company.

I want to rewrite that tool as a side project but not sure if it would be helpful for anybody.

Thanks for the explanation! Mirroring the letters is very unusial concept for me. I've tried to write down a mirrored word and it was not very difficult actually. It is definitely readable.

Wow, the Oscan language had the letter "Я". I thought it exists in cyrillic alphabets only. I know they are different letters having (perhaps) different pronunciation but still. Interesting!

Nothing is real in the simulation, I believe.

You sell illusory time for illusory money in the simulation, so espresso is illusory too, I'm afraid.

For a Russian it is nice to hear about a matryoshka from Musk. (sorry for useless comment)

How it is possible to know who invented any sort of food? You never can be sure.

Google.com and gmail.com are not working on my side. Even worse, HN search is not working as well! Also on Sat MSDN loaded very slowly. Yesterday it became much better.

Perhaps, but the fact IP hidden behind the wall means that this challenge is not for everyone. Disappointing. Good luck in your adventure though!

Ok, so actually the puzzle has been cracked. Nothing else we can do. This end was definitely not happy.

z.\SUY.ZA... and Israel-is-70 (text from the picture) have the same length.

Coincidence?

Thanks! It is very interesting language indeed and the book is very useful to make first steps in APL.

In Beijing you could easily say the same since there are no laws against blaming the USA presidents in China I guess.

External pressure as one of reasons of USSR collapse? Come on, really. You can't be serious. It had lived under much more strong pressure more than 70 years before authority decided to demolish the union. What pressure do we speak about? Commodity prices decrease? I can't believe the west is involved in the free market manipulations though. Unthinkable.

What if some countries said "don't refreeze us, we're ok"?

Evernote could help, it allows you to add tags to a bookmarked article.

> and when the Soviet propaganda became crudely anti-Western

In spite of Churchill's speech in Fulton it was inevitable I think.

Interesting! Thanks

> If electrons scatter photons, then photons scatter electrons.

Does it mean that photons are able to scatter photons?

So there is no time, we just live in a constant moment which changes according to our measurements. A "Groundhog day" with different mornings.

Perhaps... By the way, could he mean longitude instead of latitude? I find it more logical to mention Volga river delta in this case.

It is very strange to address some place in America with Volga river delta. Like "Have you been to Ohio? Yes, that Ohio which more or less lines up with Astrakhan".

The link is broken

Yes, I know that coincidence of two such events is highly unlikely, but to "compare" paths of gravitons and photons we need to imagine how much time divides 2 emission events. Seconds? Minutes? Hours? Perhaps it isn't very important but it's still interesting.

But how do we know that light and gravitational wave were emitted exactly at one moment? It is not obvious for me.

Very interesting! Thanks for advice!

I agree, there are many details which an author will need to explain. People can be protected by mighty authorities and live in a safe environment. But those medications will be prohibited of course. In other case people just will not be working!

Oh I'm sure there will be companies that provide a right to die for reasonable price (sized about 70-80 year salary I guess).

Pity I'm not a writer, I think it is a good idea for anti-utopia about the world where people work to get a permission to die.

I only hope it isn't a big crime if a person doesn't participate in any social network.
