Not the OP. I agree with what OP is mentioning. As part of the report you have to file the notional value of the underlying stock. Let's assume I buy one put option for palantir at a price of $1/contract ( say for an extremely OTM strike price of $10 ). I have paid a premium of $100. Assuming stock price of palantir is $200, the notional value I have to report is $200*100 = $20k. And not the $100 premium I paid.

I live in North America and use full sleeve sun hoodies for hiking in the summer. I sweat a lot but these hoodies are breathable enough that it doesn't bother me. So I need to apply sun screen only on my palms and fingers. And paired with a wide brim hat, I can get away with applying sunscreen only to the lower part of my face and neck.

I have genuinely been surprised by all the negative comments about Dan Brown and his novels. I read his novels when I was in middle/high school (in a developing country) and I loved them, especially The Da Vinci Code. I remember waiting to get my hands on it from the school library and then reading the entire novel in one sitting (which was a first for me).

It's been ages since I have read one of his books. After seeing multiple threads like this I am reluctant to read again one of his books. I am afraid that I might "overwrite/destroy" the good memories I have of the "feeling" of reading his books.

To add to that, the US tried hard to block India from getting advanced engines for use with space rockets. Initially the US wanted to sell engines to India but the cost was too high. But when India tried to make a deal with Russia, the US immediately stepped in and threatened sanctions to block the deal. This was in the 90s after the fall of the Soviet Union.

This is especially having a huge negative impact on some of the smaller newspapers. One example from a recent article - https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/one-year-after-news-ban-can...

They can donate the entire fund to the DNC. And then the DNC can choose to transfer it to the new nominee. There are a few technicalities though.

It is kind of interesting to see that even with this crazy run up in price over the past week, the PE ratio is around ~65 (for comparison Apple's PE is at ~30 and AMD is ~240). Considering the "expected growth" in AI the PE ratio doesn't seem too bad. Of course, PE ratio is just one parameter and doesn't necessarily describe the whole picture.

I also wonder whether the announced stock split is contributing to the short-term price increase (since people will expect more money to flow in once the stock is a more "accessible" ~$100).

I wouldn't say they haven't had any repercussions. The whole 737 Max debacle cost them an estimated $20 billion (https://web.archive.org/web/20201221001329/https://www.cnn.c...).

But I do agree that overall there needs to be more repercussions. Unfortunately they are a "too big to fail" kind of company considering how critical they are to the aviation industry as a whole.

Small feedback regarding the website and the "Try Lanki for Free" heading. It makes it seem like we need pay after a trial period. But there is no pricing information I could find. Calling out the price would be helpful information

This is the first and only book of Le Guin that I have read. And I just couldn't grasp what was all the hype about this book. It could be because I was expecting a "typical" science-fiction book. Or maybe I was not mature enough when I read it. Maybe I should give it another shot now that I am older :).

Dune 2 was totally worth it to watch in IMAX. Similarly I remember Interstellar being an amazing experience in IMAX. I wish more similar movies were made. That would make me go to the movies more frequently.

I agree. I have used HP, Dell and Lenovo laptops and all of them suck in terms of build quality. I use a Macbook for work and even though I hate macOS the build quality of the laptop is exceptional. There is obviously a huge price difference in Windows vs Mac laptops. I am willing to fork additional money to the Windows laptop companies if they can guarantee a well built laptop. But looking at their track record it doesn't seem worth it to pay thousands to get a crappy laptop anyway.

I was in the same boat. I ran into similar discrepancies until I realized that I was not accounting for the number of days in the month correctly.

One option is to call the mortgage department and ask them to provide the split. When I asked the agent why I couldn't see it online, she mentioned their system is not setup to show this information. No idea why. Pretty frustrating.

+1 to Expanse, one of the best sci-fi shows in recent times. I also saw saw Reacher and felt that it was good.

Mass Effect trilogy. The first one was amazing, didn't like the second one as much and the third was not bad. What I liked the most is the engrossing story line and some really good dialogues from the supporting characters.

When you run the software in a VM of Windows, how do you provide access to the files that you want to edit? Do you have a shared volume between the host and the VM?

Canada's population just hit 40m this week. Still small compared to the US, but it is no longer in the 30s :)

The healthcare system is not as solid as one might think. Getting family doctors in certain provinces is almost impossible - the waiting lists are months to years now. Seeing specialists, again 6-12 months wait time. If you are dying, yes you will get good care at the ER. But anything less urgent, you have to wait for hours to be seen. There is an acute shortage of doctors and nurses. And there is no proper solution being put forward by politicians. Some of them are focused on gutting the public healthcare system so that private players can move in and reap profits.

Does that mean there was no democracy in India before Signal existed? It does seem like a big exaggeration to mark the "beginning of the end of democracy" just because a single app gers banned. I am curious how many people in India use Signal.

Almost all are super corrupt.

And do you think that is different from politicians in other countries?

I find the whole situation fascinating. Bed Bath continued to sell hundreds of millions of shares while they were preparing for bankruptcy and retail investors (or meme stock investors) continued to buy them. I assume Bed Bath did all the paperwork that is necessary (like calling out risks, that the raised capital will go to creditors first, etc) for such a stock sale. But it is clear they were doing it out of bad-faith to the new investors.

As usual Matt Levine's take on this is a good read.

They officially only filed for bankruptcy this weekend. Everybody (except the retail investors who were buying their stock offerings) knew this was coming.

Wow. Let millions of students suffer just so that I can make more money. Capitalism at its finest.

You forgot Adam Neumann :). Though I don't remember if he was on one of these lists or just the cover page.

This is not very surprising. The only thing surprising is this information made it out to the public.

The super-rich (billionaires and multi-millionaires) have been working on slowly eroding and corrupting any government institution that stands in the way of them making more money. Their success rate has been pretty good I think.

+1 to this. Simple, no gimmicks and gets the job done.

May I know what you are referring to as the "classic body building" exercises. To me the classic ones are squat, bench and deadlift. I am curious why you think it's a disaster.

Second Bitwarden. Pretty cheap, good customer service. You can self-host if you prefer that route. The source code is on GitHub.

And people keep praising Warren as if he is so well intentioned. He is just another billionaire who is intent on maximizing $$$ and has a great PR team.

When have they ever been a huge player in the car business? They are a tiny percentage of the total number of cars sold. Or did you mean to specify electric cars only?
