An interesting question here is how did Microsoft's systems get compromised such that their source code was leaked?

Possibly they did not want the attention of the legal departments at two very large companies given they developed GUIs that look very similar to their IP?

Re:New Economic Challenges and the Fed's Monetary Policy Review

I understand M1 includes the most liquid portions of the money supply in circulation. When the Fed "prints" money I don't think they are talking about physical money.
Can someone explain what this graph tells us?

As I understand the situation from the article, Revlon is not a party to the case. It is therefore irrelevant if Revlon becomes bankrupt. Clawback provisions would not extend to a transaction between Brigade and CitiBank. IANAL

Nice one. I extended that idea by adding it to my favourites so I don't have to type it each time.

No this is not an joke. The videos are inconclusive but do open up more questions than they purport to answer.

Re:D.E. Shaw and how computer geeks and English majors transformed Wal...
on Saturday July 25, 2020 @08:27PM (#23953432)
I am confused. This article is very positive about DE Shaw. Nonetheless, it says DE Shaw is a "$47 billion firm [assets underlying management (AUM)], earning its investors more than $25 billion". That is a return of 53% which sounds good until you consider the firm was started 32 years ago - at which point the compound interest rate is less than 1% a year. I realise the AUM has likely grown over time, but this rate of return is less than inflation at a time when the market has grown considerably. This is a negative return while, per the article, many employees have become millionaires and Shaw himself a multi billionaire. From the article it appears that DE Shaw is good at is attracting assets underlying management and paying themselves well without providing value to their customers. What have I missed?
Re:Ask HN: You have $300k in stocks. What would you do?
on Tuesday July 21, 2020 @08:29PM (#23912557)
This is hard to answer without more context. For example: where in the world do you live, do you have a family or other dependents, are you employed, if so what, do you have any other sources of income, how old are you, what is your tolerance for risk, what is your IQ & EQ level etc. A good financial advisor would take all of these things into account before giving advice.
