This is so funny to me. A large part of the early development of computers was related to artillery range tables. We have come full circle except now the answers from the computer aren’t even correct. Just completely shitting on the legacy of the people who started this whole mess.

Dear god

When someone mixes % and percentage points it’s a red flag in my mind:

For reference, when Sri Lanka issued USD bonds in 2022 they traded at a roughly 9% premium (very high risk). When Alibaba issued USD bonds in 2017 they traded at 1.08% above the rate (medium risk). When China issued bonds last week, however, they traded at only 0.007-0.029% above the rate (3Y/5Y)

If the base rate is 3%, 9% premium means a rate of 3.27% (3%*1.09). If he means that the rate is 9 percentage points higher, that would mean a rate of 12% (3%+9%) or 4x the base rate. Pretty big difference.

The Onion don’t miss

One of my coworkers had to do part time jail for a DUI. He lost his driving privileges and had to serve his time on the weekends, but he got to keep his job.

If you can be banned for a bit, or for expressing reasonable dissent, why would we put effort into anything more than shitposting on this site?

Likewise if decisions are made on a whim from the admin/mod team, it is reasonable for the users to feel and act like they are just along for the ride.

Such a great show. I love the weird glam 70s looks
