Levine is a uniquely good writer. And, as mentioned, his choice of subject matter (law + finance) is a major factor. Both are such broad fields that you can always find something interesting happening in one corner or another, and both are relevant to everyone no matter the field they're in personally.

As someone who has a similar background to Levine, I'm a big fan and can say it's uncommon to find someone like him who can write effectively and with levity.

I still prefer using ballpoints with schmidt easyflow 9000 ink[1], but yeah rollerballs (gel) are a great midpoint between fountains and ballpoints. My Zebra G-750[2] is super smooth.

Again, that's not how it works. They wouldn't know if they're being investigated unless the USAO told them. And if the USAO had told them they're a target of an investigation then they'd say that instead of this garbage quote. Hell they may even be working with the sdny on some investigations, but in no way does that mean they would know if they themselves are the subject of another investigation. In other words, unless Tether is somehow working with the investigators on an investigation into Tether, Tether wouldn't know they're being investigated.

Yeah that's not how investigations work. USAOs don't publicize ongoing investigations for obvious reasons. Once they wrap up an investigation but before convening a grand jury to indict, they may send a target letter, but they typically don't. Most often, people don't find out until they're indicted.

Looks interesting. Always looking at apps in this space, but I've found a good rhythm using 2do [https://www.2doapp.com/]. It allows you to set a "due" date, a "start" date, or a duration for a task. I also use the "snooze" feature a ton because it allows me to repeat a notification in 5 minutes, 1 hour, 1 day, etc if I cannot complete it at the originally set time.

I also use Things as others have mentioned but for more ad hoc tasks and reminders. 2do is great for my daily routine tasks and others that are recurring.

This makes little sense. Commenting on a proposed rule and filing a lawsuit are two entirely different tasks and two entirely different processes. That people were able to submit more comments and do so in an easier manner says nothing about broader "legal risk" to corporations.

And as you can see, the authors are co-founders of some related startup and this article is nothing more than a weak pitch.

The bigger issue here is that actual legal practice looks nothing like the bar, so whether or not an llm passes says nothing about how llms will impact the legal field.

Passing the bar should not be understood to mean "can successfully perform legal tasks."

I prefer sheldon[1] for the few plugins I use

ohmyposh is a prompt theming engine, not a plugin manager. But it is a great way to find a good prompt or create your own.

No, they were/are running a far more sophisticated shop. Certainly not solely tech analysis techniques. Read "The Man Who Solved the Market" by Gregory Zuckerman. Here's a review: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/11/13/books/review/the-man-who-...

If there are youtube/twitter/etc guys "teaching" you a "strategy" then it's one to avoid like the plague. True edge generating strats are held onto like state secrets.

For sure. The infrastructure costs, both initial and maintenence, are astronomical. The underlying infra of a single shop, not to mention the entire market plumbing, is so complex and severely underestimated in general.

Very true. MMs have to always be adjusting their marks due to new trades made, market moves, interest from other players, etc. Like you said, if an MM's bid keeps getting hit and they don't lower they get dumped on until they do adjust.

This is entirely wrong.

MMs aren't doing deep analysis like a hedge fund, but they do have insight into the buy/sell interest across the market.

And how do you think one makes a market if they don't have an idea what something is worth? Prices aren't necessarily values, MMs value instruments and then trade accordingly at prices quoted. They don't search for misvalued items like a l/s fund, but they always have a theoretical value and make a market around that internal number when asked.

Exactly

Well known yes. Highly regarded ehh not so much. Anyways, what matters most is the attorney rather than the firm.

(American lawyer here) Yeah, this letter is as weak as they come. An empty threat that Meta won't sweat and was most likely anticipating from the time they began dev. This reading of the letter is spot on.

So true. Been on both sides of this coin. Lawyers, judges, jurors will jump on any language that gives the slightest impression of bad acting.

Agreed. PDs are rackets, and there is far too little interest paid to local government matters. But selective policing is on the police, not the prosecutors.

You won't get "briefly detained and released the next day" if you're caught doing the same thing every other night. And the sentence you receive in the end will be far more severe than if you only committed the one initial offense. Penalties and fines will likely erase any money you made on other nights. And oh maybe an investigation is opened to find out who has taken all these scooters, now that 50% of the time you don't get caught in the act means little seeing that you're just getting caught after the fact.
