What I find baffling is that the risk of getting a blood clotting disorder from the Johnson&Johnson and AstraZeneca vaccines does not seem to be larger than the risk of getting complications from...

It's ludicrous... It seems that only the UK and Israel have had the right approach on vaccinations so far. The potential upside of getting to herd immunity vastly outweigh the small percentage of bad...

Covid accelerated our pre-existing plans to buy a country house. Apartment prices in the city are entirely unreasonable, and it's literally cheaper for us to keep renting (French rental market is...

I bet replacement parts for these are in short supply and are needed by large enterprise who have these in use somewhere for some mission critical tasks.

Check for 'tokenization' solutions for obfuscating the PAN (personal account number). I would be very surprised if that doesn't yield results, as this is a common issue in obtaining PCI-DSS...

as my job is in tech, I'd rather look for investments in different areas.
Today I pulled the trigger on GE, but looking at the current P/E and price history I should have entered at least 3-4...

It seems that almost everybody who bought in March 2020 should be up by massive percentages by now. Oil was lagging for a long time, but the recent Texas freeze episode seems to have renewed interest...

My big oil shares bought in march 2020 are going bonkers currently.
Could hold on to XOM at 10% annual dividend (at acquisition price), but with the majority of new cars migrating to electric in...

I'm reading reports of RobinHood users that are not allowed to exercise their GME call options... I'm not sure what's going on exactly behind the scenes, but it sounds like this is going to end very...

I bought my current shares in March, mostly for dividends (except IAG). I guess they should provide a pretty good return in the long run, so I'll wait this out unless valuations really go out of wack...

I haven't really ventured much further than buying shares, so perhaps a put option is better than CDS. Can you easily roll over put options if the share price hasn't gone down to the point you...

As much as I've been tempted to, I'll avoid shorting Tesla. Maybe CDS is a better way to play this, but not really accessible for small retail investors like us.

In general tech industry...

We've had mask mandate for months now, and honestly it seems more like a superficial measure. The standard cloth masks that most people wear don't seem to offer much in terms of protection from...

As you know, I've been consistently bashing Tesla here, saying it's a rich person's car sold with government subsidies (carbon credits), and wondering how long they could survive without regular cash...

incidence in the metropolitan area of my city has now risen to over 600 per 100K. ICUs are now nearing saturation or already are above capacity.
I'm guessing a second drastic lock-down is only 7-14...

from how I've understood 'incidence per 100K', an incidence of 255 per 100000 means that in the metropolitan area where I live (about 1.4M population), there have been 3570 positive daily tests on...

Where I live we're now at 255 per 100000 for the Covid19 incidence rate, just behind Paris at 260.

Seems like one of the highest incidence rates in Europe.

L2TP is not encrypted by itself. Do you intend to run it on top of IPSec, a common combination?

I'd strongly suggest to avoid the complexity of something like L2TP/IPSec and directly go with a...

Have you looked into OpenConnect VPN server? It's free, open source and supposedly compatible with Cisco/Juniper/PaloAlto Networks ssl vpn clients.

INTC is low because of years of struggles getting good yields with new lithographic processes, years of side-channel attacks because of too-aggressive-optimizations with their OoOE implementation,...

Hyper-V used to prevent the CPU going into deep sleep modes, unlike a Type-2 hypervisor like VirtualBox or VMWare Workstation when not running any VMs.
Not sure if this is still true today, but if...

What are the limitations with Docker on WSL2, other than GUI? (which is an unlikely but not impossible candidate for Docker containers in the first place)
Afaik, WSL2 runs a native Linux kernel...

Linux containers on Windows? Can you elaborate on that?
Are you saying that you're not running them in a regular Linux VM or through Kubernetes-as-a-service?

docker stop <container name/ID> && docker start <container name/ID> ?

Not entirely sure why you would want to restart a container though.. ideally it's a fire&forget, and once you have an updated...

looking also at the wider market for shares in the tech sector (AAPL being the elephant in the room), it seems clear that something is seriously wrong with valuations.
