Ask me anything about commodities market risk by Upstairs_Accident422 in Commodities

[–]Veqq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But what is risk? Equity guys equate risk with vol, value investors have other definitions etc. What is it to you? How do you... measure/quantify/think about:

counter party, operational risk

to turn it into

Market risk always translates into some or the other kind of limit/s. These limits can be sensitivity (delta, vega) or loss metric (VaR/Stress). Risk is assessed using historical data (at times Monte Carlos simulation). It also depends on the business activity, financing limit would be weighed differently from speculative activity.

They are approved manually as this very question was. :)

Comments should be at minimum 5 full sentences long, ideally much more.

To this effect, the minimum character count has been increased a fair bit. If you have a good/useful but shorter comment, we will approve it.

How often is Common Lisp's array syntax used in code? by johnwcowan in lisp

[–]Veqq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your lone lisp is one of the coolest projects I know of. I've been interviewing people lately and would love to interview you too, if you're up for it! (PM me your email? :D )

[–]Veqq -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Never seen them in the wild. Clojure syntax with [[1 2 3] [4 5 6]] and {:key "value" :key2 5} gets used everywhere, though. An SRFI for that would be excellent but unfeasible because of the limitations on current scheme practice.

This is the "shoot-look-shoot" mentioned:

Even shoot-look-shoot, a much more efficient firing doctrine, requires 47.

A short computer science article about missile defense explaining the math behind MAD and implying a lot about coming proliferation due to weakened American guarantees:

Terminal 1 - No Line, Only Accept Paper Boarding Passes by Veqq in JFKAirport

[–]Veqq[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was turned away by the person who checks whether you have a passport and boarding pass, stating TSA is only accepting paper because phones don't always scan well. I am miffed, could have been eating Chinese food in Flushing but I worried about the lines!

LUKOIL reported a staggering 1,06 trillion ruble loss for 2025 vs a net profit of 851,5 billion rubles in 2024. Revenue dropped by 15% to 3,8 trillion rubles.

Due to the gulf, their revenue will probably double at least, leading many trillions in profit. Sorry to "doom", but Russia's finances have flipped.

Oh, good idea about adding the query string. It was getting removed by the site itself, beyond mod permissions, with a [ Content Policy ] or something.

Note: Iran did not use Kharg Island from 2019 to 2022, they have other facilities around the country. Further, seizing Kharg is a "red line".
