The keys still exist but the symbols have gone

Plenty of nice round numbers in this indictment: https://www.justice.gov/archives/opa/file/450211/dl?inline

Search for “Wire transfer of” to jump to them.

Plus a couple of $1,666,667 which stand out in contrast to all the zeroes.

They’re referring to the source of wood pellets for the Drax power plant i.e. this https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/feb/26/drax-pow...

They sure do, e.g. https://docs.astral.sh/ruff/rules/pandas-use-of-dot-is-null/

Jonathan Agnew has a similar story about the late, great Australian cricket commentator Richie Benaud, although filling ~52 seconds rather than 5 minutes.

They do align themselves but, for me at least, it can take a little while. Aiming the mark downwards really speeds things up.

Nice breakdown.

Why do you think the poster is connected with the repo? I couldn’t see any link.

CFD trading apps have this in the UK (and possibly EU, but I can’t see whether ESMA kept the rule):

“78% of retail investor accounts lose money when trading CFDs with this provider.”

Of course, there are a lot more ways to lose money than CFDs.

This is where the article is insufficiently clear. Lists of people who are under investigation for fraud is definitely something banks keep quiet, for the reason you mentioned. But as a sibling comment says, sanctions lists are public, as are records of people convicted of relevant crimes in most (all?) jusrisdictions. So what kind of lists are these? Because the article's line about "individuals who were sanctioned as recently as this year" is hardly exciting - the UK sanctions list has people sanctioned today, 18 April.

It isn’t, but I don’t think the parent comment is trying to use it like that - they’re going for “how many banks are needed to support an economy”. Otherwise deposits per bank or perhaps assets (loans etc) per bank would be much better choices.

Which is it?

Yes - and the 1/8 of a cow is needed to make milk to make butter. This might be possible if you were very selective about which eighth of a cow you procured, but you’d need some additional kit which the recipe doesn’t account for.

If you pull down to open Control Centre and then long-press on the WiFi button, you can toggle the hotspot off and on without having to deal with the Settings app. Not sure if you’re having the same problem but that works well for me.

I've found Work and Personal focus modes on iPhone very helpful for cutting down on two of my mindless habits: checking [social media app] during work hours, and [work IM client] at evenings and weekends. The modes are scheduled to automatically kick in at the right time, and so far, so good.

It's a pretty simple setup: one set of home screens for each mode, silencing non-work notifications during Work focus, and snoozing work email during Personal focus. Although writing this, I realise I ought to look at blocking Reddit and HN websites...

Subject Matter Experts

Can’t say I’ve used it, but isn’t that what dtplyr is supposed to provide?

It's not just stigma with thalidomide - the two forms of the molecule interconvert in the body. So even a dose of 100% pure R-thalidomide (the useful kind) will invert into its mirror image, L-thalidomide (the harmful kind), and will approach a 50:50 mix. As the sibling comment says, it's still used in cases where there's little to no chance of pregnancy, because we don't know another way to make it safe.
