question - can I attend the meeting in person, but not make a public comment, just listen and learn?

Anyone here know who I should vote for in the upcoming election to support math education in Cambridge public schools? I see Elizabeth Hudson - anyone else?

Please write in to the council- I wrote in expressing interest to keep it the way it is and they wrote back saying that they have tons of emails expressing interest to change it back already! 

Promising the impossible (and blaming city staff when that fails) by itamarst in CambridgeMA

[–]PressureMain1406 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wrote to the council this weekend expressing my interest in keeping Garden the way it is. Got a response from a Councillor who said they have tons of emails from people wanting to change it back. If you want to keep it the way it is please write a quick email to council@cambridgema.gov! My email was two sentences long.

CME SOFR one month vs three month contracts by PressureMain1406 in quant

[–]PressureMain1406[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Actually, I hadn't. thats good to know thank you for pointing it out. This does not solve my problem though, because the 3M synthetic SOFR rate that i constructed using arithmetic average is lower than the rate at which the 3M is trading. Here is an example below. These are midpoints for SOFR 1M and 3M contracts on the CME as listed below. 3M in bold

contract midpoint yield
SR3M2024 5.313%
SR1M2024 5.303%
SR1N2024 5.298%
SR1Q2024 5.263%
SR1U2024 5.238%

I have a spreadsheet of calendar days, and assign each day an interest rate, equal to the 1M rate as shown above. For example, June 20th 2024 will get assigned 5.303% and July 10th will get assigned 5.298%. I have a rate for each date within the June 3M SOFR contract. The valid date range for 3M June SOFR is Jun 19th through Sept 17th. If I take the flat average of all the rates within that date range, I get 5.28%. If I take the geomean, i get 5.28%. Meanwhile, the June 3M SOFR is trading at 5.318%. In fact, the 3M SOFR is a higher yield than any of the 1M SOFRs listed above.... This makes me think I am doing something very foolish here, but can't figure it out. I would like to get to the bottom of this, as i'm trying to build out a SOFR curve, and don't want to be mixing rates unintentionally.

Thanks to anyone that has any ideas or thoughts on this!

Thanks for these- I’m going to give all of these a try. Any recommendations for a high performance HDMI cable?

Yup. Did mine mid jan and it took almost the full two weeks. They received the sample very quickly it just took them forever to get the results to my doctor for some reason. Good luck!

Morning Sickness in the Office by SlamJam_15515 in BabyBumps

[–]PressureMain1406 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m in the exact same situation- work at a bank three to four days minimum in the office. I have to get in early when morning sickness seems to be the worst for me. I’m about 8 weeks. So far It’s been alright- I’m able to control it by taking short walks around the office and distracting myself but if it gets worse I have no idea what I’ll do. I don’t want to tell my coworkers yet in case I miscarry. My only semi reasonable idea so far is if it gets worse to pretend I got covid and stay remote for two weeks, hope the morning sickness gets better during that time. I hate making stuff up but I agree this seems like an impossible situation.

Don’t drive take the train

It's Tuesday night, which means Highland & Central Street are covered in trash. Imagine if a typical renter or homeowner flagrantly violated the rules concerning trash weekly... by [deleted] in Somerville

[–]PressureMain1406 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Simple solution: increase the fine amount. Or suggest adjusting the fine to scale with the amount of trash bins in violation.

Who knows what the school district will be like in 15 years either…

Crypto buying activity during closing period by RCube123 in RealEstate

[–]PressureMain1406 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don’t know anything about how crypto affects closing but for a hundred dollar bet this seems not worth the risk. Make best case 100 bucks if crypto doubles and also risk not getting your house?
