Interactive Brokers (one of the best) has margin rates that are 5.17-5.83% at the moment depending on the size of the loan. Whether or not you want to pay rates like that and be potentially leveraged in the market, is a personal question. Not sure what any of this has to do with terrorizing the economy though ...

Whoosh. You missed the point completely.

How did you choose "20% saved while working" as a number? Why not 80%?

How is that a trick? You wouldn't actually have any income ...

I see makes sense.

What is wrong with autogenerated code?

What do you think n here is when you say O(n^2)?

Does anybody know what the dB level of macbook speakers playing at max volume is? I am curious to know if playing music at max volume through them while sitting about 2-3 feet away from them can damage hearing.

Isn't this passing by pointer and not passing by reference?

Can you explain what it means to balance a binary search tree? Are you referring to writing your own implementation of AVL or RB trees?

But in this case we have all the people who didn't make it to the NFL complaining about the NFL combine, and how in actual football they don't have to bench 225 pounds.

Who said you insert at different locations?

Research mathematicians are made in large part in the process of taking classes with tests for several years. Why don't they just ask the students to write papers if that is the end goal?

Ok thanks for bearing with me, can you explain one more example. Lets say just as a hypothetical there is a military draft in place. I advise my friend to shoot himself in the foot in order to avoid the draft. Have I then committed some criminal act? Obviously my advice when taken directly results in injury. However there are some upsides, much as with suicide.

My overall point is I think it is absurd to punish somebody for giving advice that you think is bad. The girl was in no position of power over the boy (as a doctor or lawyer might be). She gave her unbiased opinion the matter. And this is a crime somehow. Makes one very weary of what can be said.

I do have to inquire exactly how far you think this logic extends. Lets say I am BMX biking with a friend, and there is a tricky jump we are considering doing. I advise him to try it, he does and breaks his neck. Am I guilty of assault and battery on my friend?

Because all she did was give advice to somebody else. We can't even definitively say it was bad advice, maybe committing suicide was indeed the best option for him.

Anyway I hope all the people commenting here don't support the right to die, because these kinds of rulings make it much harder for a doctor to ever have the ability to advise a patient about suicide.

Does nobody here care about free speech? I guess this is how freedom dies.

What about a $200,000 difference in salary?

What is the point of expecting people to be bilingual? Is it not more efficient to standardize on one language?

I must ask, did you get a university degree and if so how? Personally I have found interviews to be trivial compared to exams in school, so while I do get quite nervous for some of my math examinations I have never had this experience in interviews.
