there is also this but... self-driving is barely a decade old, I am pretty sure they will get it right eventually (at worst, it's gonna be at the cost of some infrastructure improvements like inter-car electronic communications etc)

Yeah, we are still very early in the battery tech development cycle and in the vehicle development cycle. As is, I've test-driven an electric motorcycle and it was an eye-opening experience

I am literally restoring my truck purely with the help of Reddit. It’s incredible how helpful it can be. But that’s outside of finance, in quant/wsb/options subreddits there are mostly wannabes and LARPers

Dude, Reddit is full of wisdom! :D

It’s a complicated problem and I’d honestly say that while EVs are probably (unless we see synthetic non-carbon fuels for ICE) the future, the infrastructure is not there yet for it. I am still driving fully ICE cars, an elderly Honda Fit (had it for 20 years and it’s been very reliable) and a...

His common sense arguments are wrong, actually. A quick google search shows plenty of reliable studies that prove that EVs are more efficient than ICE across the full life cycle and even assuming high-HC electricity mix (see above). As a side note, "common sense" is rarely a substitute for...

Internet is an incredible invention, you can find anything there :) The analysis I was referring to was for the full life cycle. For example, this chart: https://www.iea.org/data-and-statistics/charts/comparative-life-cycle-greenhouse-gas-emissions-of-a-mid-size-bev-and-ice-vehicle shows that EV...

Welding as a skill that I always wanted to learn and never had the chance. There is something fascinating about it. PS. yes, I am still a child at heart :)

What’s your turnover? Are you trading outright or spreading? If you’re trading spreads, do you get margin offset? How volatile is your product? The whole “you should never X” is invariably stupid and taken out of context

Dude, i have doubts you’ve ever seen 50k in your life.

You’re mean :D CME Direct is actually pretty good. I wish CBOE/CFE got their shit together and got something like this going.

Ha! I was not aware of that. What about ICE Options (another good tool, albeit not free IIRC), is that for "privileged clients only" too?

CME Direct is surprisingly good and it’s free.

I know ET is not into into nuance but this requires a nuanced answer. First of all, the mix of energy sources depends on the location and the current demand (i.e. it's complicated). In case of the coastal states, both solar and wind are actually pretty large contributors, but the exact...

I do know a bunch of people who own Teslas, fewer people who own the new KIA electrics (EV6 is kinda nice if you into that kind of thing) and one guy who replaced his Panamera with Taycan. Living in tri-state area EVs make sense, maybe where you live they do not. golf carts with 0 to 60 that...

There are high throughput switches that are usually part of the HFT setup. HFT hardware is part art, part science and it takes a lot of experience to get it properly right

Exactly. Though I’d venture that depreciation on my “custom exotic” is way lower :D

Exactly. In both “use cases” both the speed of the action and the width of the channel matter.

Well, it’s not as simple as that. Latency matters for turnaround on a single trade or reaction time to a single number. For example, when spooz move in Chicago, reaction by the HFTs in Mahwah or NY4 is a single low-information event. So that data will be transferred via microwave (or shortwave...

Yeah. FWIW it’s still the same car after all these years :D
