I understand basic options. They listed only long puts in 13F, the max they could lose is the premium they paid. So there must be some other securities that they didn't disclose (mostly short calls as @tchanglington mentioned) which resulted in the loss. I was asking if hedgefunds can disclose selectively? If so that can be exploited in so many ways.
I agree, but why is U.S. subsidizing the whole world without getting as much benefit? Its not just this, U.S. is subsidizing the whole world's healthcare costs too.
PAXOS is very complicated, Raft is direct response to it by simplifying the consensus algorithm. From the article:
"It's equivalent to Paxos in fault-tolerance and performance. The difference is that it's decomposed into relatively independent subproblems, and it cleanly addresses all major pieces needed for practical systems."
One of the authors of Raft is Prof. John Ousterhout(TCL creator, among other things)
I also had to implement simple microprocessor on an FPGA about 10 years ago.
I think one of the main reason is programming the FPGA is not easy, the tools needed for FPGA development are all proprietary. Every FPGA has different way to program it.
"my past criticism of CAP not actually being about picking two of three out
of C (consistency), A (availability), and P (partition tolerance) due to the
fact that it does not make sense to reason about a system that is ‘CA’. (If
there is no partition, any system can be both consistent and available ---
the only question is what happens when there is a partition --- does
consistency or availability get sacrificed?)"
Not at all, atleast about Samsung. I would go ahead say that Samsung is the most unethical[1] company. Wikipedia list is only tip of the iceberg, that company's history is littered with unethical[2] behavior.
Huh? BS. I come here to HN to grok the truth, to see other side, not to nod head in agreement. I learn so much from rayiner's view point. I don't agree with him on all points, but I'm definitely a better informed person because of his reasoning.
