The Chairman posted:The bigger problem was distributors deliberately holding back on supplying energy to keep the price pegged at the maximum, rather than the behaviors of individual consumers Weren't nobody holding back on nuthin'. The generating capacity simply wasn't available - the cold knocked out lots of power plants at the same time it sent demand soaring.

tater_salad posted:It's been reported some plants turned their power off due to rising prices for nat gas, this way they wouldn't lose money you see. There are HEROES out there man. NYMEX Natural gas spot market looks to have spiked 10x, but ERCOT electricity spiked 100x. Maybe transmission/local supply issues further goosed the gas price in TX, but there's still a huge profit margin in the cost of your inputs vs value of your outputs there.

Also, you can get a whole-house backup generator for like $10k, so it's not worth paying a huge premium for.

DaveSauce posted:Going back to the original point you were trying to make, yes "in theory" this variable pricing model should quell demand for power during periods of scarcity. But that's only if it were done properly where, again, consumers can see the price for the next kwh of usage and can switch to a competitor at any time. If these providers don't allow both of these things, then this does precisely nothing to control demand, it only serves as a mechanism to force consumers in to paying higher, noncompetitive prices. ERCOT publishes real-time prices here: http://www.ercot.com/content/cdr/html/real_time_spp I am sure Griddy has an app that filters for your location and displays the price you're currently paying nicely. If you're on a spot-price plan, you can switch your plan at any time. However, if you wait until DEFCON1 to do so, don't be surprised when nobody is willing to take you until the grid settles down, for reasons Dik Hz explained.

Tomfoolery posted:YOu're an idiot if you live in texas and don't run 2 separate power lines to a smart electrical router that checks electricity prices using a python script every 10 milliseconds and draws power from whatever service is cheaper. How else do you cut down on the cost of charging your Tesla. Given that it's not unusual for spot prices to be slightly negative overnight, 2meters1house sounds like a fantastic disruptive sure-fire unicorn idea. Let's do it.

Andy Dufresne posted:I expect just about every employee discount benefit comes with the string attached that if you resell this poo poo you're getting fired. Mrs Jackson works for an oil company that gives employees discount cards for retail gas purchases. There have been people fired from 6-figgie jobs for using them to hustle cash for discounted gas. Don't think it's ever happened at the VP level, though.

Bird in a Blender posted:In some ways, the NFT makes sense. It’s like the difference between owning the original Van Gogh and owning a print, but of course it’s being abused and it’s totally inflated. Except for digital data is literally indistinguishable, that's fundamental to what makes it digital. The copy and the original are the same thing.

asur posted:If the richest country in the world lets one of it's richest cities vanish into the ocean then I think you have bigger problems than the price of housing. San Francisco NIMBYs will prevent so much as a single grain of sand from being distributed until the bay is lapping at their doorstep. Whereupon they will demand Something Be Done At Once, only to be thwarted by the rest of the NIMBYs that have even another foot of elevation.

Also, there's no tax in the US on repatriated personal assets. Now if you've been hiding foreign assets in violation of FACTA, that's another concern altogether.

FMguru posted:To the extent that they had a business model, it was probably something like this - lose money for a while subsidizing the service while you build an audience, then use that big audience you've cultivated to leverage deals with the theater chains. They tried this. The theater chains rightly perceived it as luring their customers away with VC money then trying to sell the customers back to the theaters at a premium. And moviepass had no leverage since everyone knew when they ran out of money the customers would just resume purchasing directly from the theaters again. So every theater chain in the country told them to get lost.

Heirs get stepped-up basis, not the estate. Living off of loans secured by your portfolio is explicitly a bet that the assets will grow faster than the interest rate you're paying on the loan. It lets you defer the cap gains taxes, but not avoid them - TBF iron-clad control of the recognition of income is a huge tool for managing tax bills for the wealthy that we working schlubs don't get.

Less Fat Luke posted:I would think they can then liquidate the amount at the new cost basis to pay the LoC. No, because the estate owes the bank for the LoC, not the heirs. Heirs only get what's left over after the estate settles outstanding debts.

DarkHorse posted:A literal ton or two of glass plastic and metal has about 25 square inches of contact with the road. That total area about the size of a 4"x6" photo has to stop that mass from 65 mph to nothing in about five seconds. It's also resisting all the lateral forces any time you turn. I think you're underestimating contact patch size. 3500 lbs / 35 psi = 100 sq in

IIRC most of these are bought with crypto, and the entire crypto system is massively inflated thanks to Tether literally just printing $63bn worth of 'stablecoin' to throw in the system. No, no, no.

That guy's whole post history in that thread is pretty lol, but at least he's in his 30s and in a FAANG job again, so he'll be alright if he learned his lesson... Unfortunately that post history also strongly suggests he's gonna lose it all on crypto this time instead of options.

BonerGhost posted:Aren't there actual banking regulations that dictate by law your collateral ratio? Are they just getting around that with ~°~Bitcoin magic~°~ ? Coinbase isn't a bank, bitcoin isn't a security, and they're not doing fractional reserve lending, so I don't see any reason they can't hand out loans willy nilly and watch them become unsecured in the next bust to hilarious effect.

My accounting software was using Alphavantage to pull stock quotes, and it stopped working a little while ago. It seems that they've made the daily quote data a "premium" service that you can subscribe and pay for ... or retain access by helping them pump the ecosystem for their brand new cryptocurrency No thanks, I'll just pull data from Yahoo instead.

Residency Evil posted:Yup, this is generally true for all doctors, although it's not just true for "Tier 1" cities. Depending on your specialty, it may be tough to find jobs not just in LA/NYC, but also in Miami, Denver, Boston, SF, Philly, DC, etc. How did this happen? IIRC, the pipeline for new doctors has been constrained for decades, and there were concerns of shortages instead of gluts. Is it just a distribution problem where everyone wants to be a specialist in a major metro and nobody wants to be a jack of all trades in Bumfuck, IA?

https://twitter.com/trondaoreserve/status/1590691862813478912 TronDAO runs their own death-spiral-financed stable coin that is currently depegged worse than Tether. Maybe they should put on their own life jacket first? They must really be worried that Tether might topple and wipe everything out.
