  • X86 apps on ARM using Pseudocode?

    I was wondering if It was possible to generate pseudo-code from an X86 binary and then recompile(cross) for ARM (would this work?). I get that this (in theory) would only work for Linux binaries, But could Wine be run on arm Linux so that it can use windows libraries etc. Thanks

  • how about the optional tax?

    Wouldn't it make more sense rather than taxing the rich into avoiding tax that governments should issue some sort of government bond that cannot be transferred and is 5 years or something. This way everyone would have the straight choice to either pay 20% income tax(or whatever flat tax) or put 30% of there income into these bonds. Then the government can invest in infrastructure/ whatever else that can benefit the countries and increase the countries liquidity and keep the middle income/ high income people happy :D would that be so difficult ?

  • shorting gold and futures contracts?

    Ok so i heard about this arbitrage thing where you buy say gold for 1000 dollars and sell a future for gold in 1 month for 1010 dollars and you collect the difference( minus delievry fees and storage). Well thats fine but only good during bullish market where everyone thinks the asset will rise in value. So my question is could i short sell an asset (say gold) for 1010 dollars and buy a future contract for one months time where gold costs 1000 dollars. after 1 month i have the gold redeposited back to (who ever i borrowed it from) and i collect the 10 dollar difference (minus fees). Sorry was a long question, but thanks in advance.
