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.

Well I certainly don't see much in terms of attempts to reduce contagion between <45yo other than 'keeping distance', which imo translates into effectively following the Swedish model.


...

The current trend seems to follow the 'Swedish model', since teenagers and young adults have a very low risk of complications.
What really matters now is how well the at-risk population (elderly and...

So a company that sells as many cars in 3-4 days as that Tesla sells in an entire quarter and turns a healthy profit at it, is worth less than Tesla ?
Makes perfect sense.

Couple of observations:
- You'll need to take into account a lag period between detected cases and resultant deaths. Perhaps 2-3 weeks?
- Some reports have been published of ICUs in danger of...

Seems like a leaked study of the German interior ministry seems to agree that the risk posed by Covid-19 has been severely overstated. (here's a translated summary of key findings).

I always thought Janssen was Belgian prior to being acquired by J&J.

What about encoding the screen output to H264 in real-time, and streaming it through DLNA/UPNP to the bedroom? Most network media players support these protocols.
You'd probably get a bit of lag...

is there a particular reason to go for HDMI over ethernet vs. just hooking up a media player that supports 4K in the bedroom?

Just because we don't know much about Covid-19, doesn't mean that general containment will be the best strategy.
There are many downsides to containment - aside from tanking the economy: People are...
