Yes. That is the point. Borrow & buy is on the balance sheet as an asset and liability, as I explicitly said. If you buy a futures contract with 1m of underlying value - it is NOT …

The part where the rows switch order based on the last one you clicked so if you're searching you can't be systematic without an amazing memory is POISON for discoverability. Start…

Do you love it when people use religion to create rules like this as though people can be fooled into thinking they /know/ the mind of god?

Sooooooooo not true! https://i.chzbgr.com/full/9097033984/hE7CFF8DD/person-aa

Can be. They vary like _every_ other profession.

Funny how nostalgia differs for different people. I hated all that so much at the time that I installed linux (RH 7.x) from a magazine cd and learned to program in C & perl. That m…

This isn’t something in which I’m an expert on any of the current details. You can borrow a million dollars and use it to buy gold. An asset and a liability on the balance sheet ea…

There's regulation update and work around. The point of channeling the 1980s is because it was simple for the 101 explanation. Investment bakers will structure it for you if you ne…

if you can't meet your obligations as and when they fall due, you're insolvent. Contractual specification from there.

>Well technically they don’t own the debt Channelling the 1980s for off-balance sheet financing 101. From an economic perspective there is zero difference between borrowing to buy …

Investors get spooked the only thing they can do is mark it to zero. There's no "getting your money back" It has been spent on salaries, servers, Washington PR firms, political don…

Legal fees are insignificant to open ai. Either they get profitable and the money does not run out or they don't, eventually can't raise more and close leaving these proceedings ir…

What is HN's experience of running local LLMs inside an organization? What hardware? What model? How is it resourced? How is access and usage managed? What question should I be ask…

Oh go on. Look down that list of winners and the list of top finishers for two decades prior to Armstrong and the amount of doping among them that we actually found about and serio…

Oh do come on. Bernard Thévenet won in 1975 and has said he was using steroids. Armstrong was 4 years old at the time. We don't know about all the drug cheating at the TdF, just wh…

If Armstrong still absolutely makes you want to vomit, that's fine. https://quotefancy.com/media/wallpaper/3840x2160/2503086-Lan...

You yourself are on drugs if you think Lance Armstrong "created the situation." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doping_at_the_Tour_de_France#D... Note the quantity that actually got …

Google's entire "do no evil" bring your own identity to the job and all of that was pure marketing to hire better engineering talent. Instead of monetising software sales, they mon…

>Saying "these two things are similar except one can be useful and one can't" is not a great comparison. Launching a nuclear war is an interesting definition of "useful", not one I…

When I started I learnt something about coding from VBA macros to automate excel. Often that started with the macro recorder. Then you worked out what that "recorded" code/sludge d…

But they’ve got you. Nobody uses Microsoft office turdware unless they’re locked in and have to. You lose access to it. You’re cooked.

Lan? Still awesome. For my kids' parties I have 3x OG xboxes. Each has 4 controllers. Plug them into a router. 12 player lan. Halo, Nascar, (6 player) crimson skies, mechassult. ht…

It’s fine looking car. It isn’t a fine looking Ferrari or even close.
