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…

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 appl…

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 love…

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 hig…

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). Con…

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... ).…

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.…

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" scienc…

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 …

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 lapt…

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 mortgag…

+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 goo…

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 speci…

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…

> 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 inves…

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.
