Cuomo just announced allowing only essential personnel to keep working for now in NY. Dow was dropping like a rock, went from +400 to negative in a couple minutes. Looks like its stabilized though for now around even from yesterday's close interestingly. Seems like a lot of resistance in the...

How confident are you on JPM now though ? Won't they have more trouble making money as rates approach zero ? Honest question. I've seen smart people saying recently that US banks will get destroyed if rates go negative (a la Deutsche.) And the market was pricing in another 100 bp cut...

Giannis not a free agent til after next season. I'm not betting anything on him demanding a trade before that. He'll play out his contract and see whats up in 2021. Bucks will try to extend him with the supermax, and it he might give signals to them about hesitance to stick around at that...

You couldn't have drawn this season up much better for the Warriors so far really. Klay / Steph / Draymond get tons of rest. Gives them a chance to recharge / remotivate themselves after a long 5 years stretch. Trade D-Lo for a more useful player (overpaid but can at least play a little more...

Holy shit.. 10-year treasury yield is at 0.48% right now. The money is flowing into bonds endlessly.

During trading today it was noted that the 10-year yield dropped under 0.9% for the first time ever (well duh its been all firsts lately but anyways.. ) And now 12 hours later its just dropped under 0.8%. I think it was just a week ago it dropped under 1.3% for the first time ever... odds of...

Probably cause he's not 60+ ? I mean we've all seen the video of him hobbling out for game 7, but not many here watched the dude play. I loved watching Knicks ball in the 90's. I'd think of 20+ guys or moments from that era on before I ever got to Willis Reed. Starks dunk over Jordan and...

Fear is still through the roof. Futures pointing down again. 10-year treasury yield smashed through below 1.3% yesterday for the first time ever... Its gone down another 10 BPs today and is now below 1.2%. If there's any kind of bounce in the next week, it could just be setting up for another...

10-year yield has dropped over 8 BP's tonight to just under 1.39% now. Hell, that 100 pt S&P drop could potentially all come tomorrow. Futures currently showing down 70, DOW down 550.

Super entertaining ending, too bad team Giannis was handicapped with Lowry and Kemba taking a majority of their crunch time shots in an all star game lol. That Giannis block on Lebron was amazing though.

Warriors send D-Lo to the Wolves for Wiggins and a protected future first... meh. Would have much rather they waited until summer to see who was available then. Don't like D-Lo much but he had some value. Wiggins has less. They did need a SF at least, and maybe the pick will turn into something.

1. BR2049 - when i walked out of the theater I felt like I'd just seen a 10/10 movie. 2. Infinity War - maybe the most rewatchable movie of the decade, so many great moments and fight scenes. Together with Endgame its a culmination of superb storytelling done right. Slightly edges out...

Its free money, there's no reason to not do as much as you can as long as you don't need the money right away which it sounds like you don't. I've sold a lot of mine almost immediately after the actual stock purchase due to not wanting to have too many eggs in one basket (and regretted it due...

Return of the Jedi Empire A New Hope Revenge of the Sith The Force Awakens Phantom Menace Rise of Skywalker? Attack of the Clones Rogue One The homemade Star Wars movie I made with my action figures when I was 7. I had Boba Fett's ship and it was bad ass. Boycotted Solo . . . The Last Jedi (if...

No reason most of that couldn't have been in the second movie. TFA was fine to put the ball on the tee, Rian Johnson just whiffed at it like 10 times then threw the ball over the fence in frustration and laughed about it cause he's a giant pussy. Complain about Abrams' extravagance, and I...

Cantrell wrote Rooster.

Just hit me that we're only about a year out from this, fucking stoked! That cast.... is it going to be possible for this to meet expectations? I mean I fucking loooooved BR2049, it was a 10/10, and my expectations are that this movie will exceed it.

No it isn't. Streaming will be fine for some games, not fine for others. Stadia is probably a non-starter, but there's no reason X-Box and PlayStation can't have some success with it. I don't know if it'll ever be the primary play method, but it obviously wouldn't happen for a while. For now...

Sucks. RIP Brad.

Saw the movie, it was whatever. Thread is just making me want to go back and watch The Sarah Conner Chronicles. I was just randomly reminded of one of the terminators in that show who was sent back to the 20's or something, started a construction company?, sealed himself in the walls of one...

This season for the Warriors is now all about trying to find a couple of the young guys that will be able to contribute when everybody is back healthy next season (hopefully). Eric Paschall is giving some early hope on that front at least. 34/13 last night in a win against the Blazers for the...

Civ 6 needs stacks.

If only they could somehow fire Rian Johnson from the trilogy they promised him, and replace him with Villeneuve, we might have A New Hope...

Disney should pay Lucas another 4 billion to write them something worth a damn. Complain all you want about the prequels, but they didn't ruin the original trilogy. These last 3 are a soulless abomination. Took everything that was good about the original trilogy and just absofuckinglutely...

I remember giving a presentation in my college speech class some ~20ish years ago on quantum computing based on an IEEE article I had read at the time. At a heavy engineering school, but I think there weren't a lot of engineers in that particular class. The other students in the class were...

No, been a long time since quantum mechanics classes but pretty sure your ship experiences the mass increase. You would need infinite energy to accelerate to c. E=mc^2. m is actually M, the relativistic mass where the rest mass is multiplied by the Lorentz factor. Relativistic mass is...

It depends what % of c we're talking about. Below 0.9c or so yes, time and slowing down are the biggest problems AFTER the possibility of running into almost anything larger than a rock. If you want to start traveling much greater than 0.9c or so, that's where mass (and thus energy) start to...

But the point they are making is that traveling at relativistic speeds is a giant question mark. Based on what we know now, there's a good chance we'll never be able to.

Cause she is Anakin. She's his clone. The Emperor made her, and its time for him to return to collect his new apprentice.

Melvin is right, I was talking about signal degradation, which I thought i was pretty clear about. I'm not talking about L in the Drake equation at all, only you are. I'm saying even if photons from a radio signal emanating from an alien planet are hitting earth right now, there's some range...

Its the detection part. Not sure we have a good idea about what it'd really take to be able to detect radio signals at this distance. When we try to run fourier analysis on radio signals from an interstellar body, at this distance and considering how power drops at a rate of 1/d^2, are the...

Except we don't know how reasonable the Drake equation is, or whether the Fermi "paradox" really has to be a paradox. There could be many reasons why alien civilizations would not want to be seen or haven't been. You seem pretty sure that we'd be fucked due to some theories based on our...

5.5/10 Some of the visuals are awesome, but as somebody said above there's a lot of pointless plot in this. Also a lot of plot that I think doesn't make much sense. I can appreciate the point they were making, but I feel like they could have cut out some of the useless plot points to enhance...

After The Force Awakens I thought that if Rey was a clone of Anakin it would explain a lot of things. Palpatine coming back in some form maybe opens up that possibility again. That could save this S*&tshow for me, maybe...

I love how the dude standing behind him doesn't try to help soften the fall at all, in fact moves further away, allowing that slow roll into a straight up head plant. What a pal. Are we in pre-alpha 8 yet?

Gotta keep Blue Origin in the mix because this is going to be a long journey, and long term that company has better odds of staying afloat due to Bezos' money bin size. Great to have competition for SpaceX.

I don't like it, but they were pretty short on options here. Once Durant was heading to Brooklyn S&T was about the only way to add a decent sized contract. DLO kind of became the player they'd get by default. Klay is going to be out for much of the season, so he and Curry could play together...

What are the right goals? Does this fit somewhere in with the right goals? Why will bitcoin not be threatened by new coins? You don't know this for a fact. There's nothing that has to be unique about it except that it was first. Maybe that's enough, but you can't be sure.

Dropped $1750 in 15 minutes? Lol
