Adjusting information density to the desired audience is a very real thing. I've also had a lot of success (and fun!) with internal tools that display a lot of stuff but would be terrible for consumer software

Some good faith changes to the definition of monopoly could certainly be valuable.

However, I fear most efforts would start with "Companies X, Y, and Z need to be categorized as monopolies. Let's write rules to fit"

I once read a HN comment the made an analogy to reading levels in a newspaper or other natural language. I found this very apt.

If you have a rich vocabulary and so does your audience, you can explain an idea succinctly. Imagine a chain of function compositions in one line, very declarative. You grasp it near immediately or else its very difficult.

If you don't, you use simpler words and need more of them. Imagine a few nested for loops in something like Go that you need to execute in your head to realize what's going on, but anyone can figure it out given a little time.

People frequently talk past each other on this topic. It can be very frustrating.

Can you tell me more about the use case where you'd create a new table every minute?

We all bought into the "razors/poison in the Halloween candy" bullshit.

"Poisoned candy myths - Wikipedia" https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoned_candy_myths#:~:text....

Hmm. Seems likely in a way, but I don't see how to square this with the professional crowd like software devs

Agreed the downvotes are not justified. This is this clearly what parent meant and what I alluded to in preceding comment

Crimes (theft, drug seizures, whatever) usually reported in largest possible numbers. So likely retail

Is "gold ball" some kind of industry term or classification of a factory? Or are they literally producing spheres of gold?

EDIT: oooh, you probably meant "golf ball". I was not being purposely difficult, just dumb

I think those counterfactuals can be the most useful explanation, while not being the direct cause.

"why did the disk fill up" would be most directly explained by the most recent write. That's not useful though. It doesn't really matter what the last write was.

I'd rather suffer the late import with absolutes than wrestle with relative imports

I could see wanting this as a toggle on a particular search more than an account-wide setting

Never heard of Midomi, but your description reminds me of Soundhound

"Charges"?

There's a linked paper at the bottom which presumably would help you learn how it works if you are interested

That being said, I haven't read it. Even parts of the blog post's implementation summary were over my head. That paper would be surely more of a "study" than a "read" for me

If you can keep this up until you die, your heirs may benefit from what's called "step up in basis" on the shares. Thus a lot of capital gains tax is avoided.

Why not? You only YOLO once

I think there's a disconnect her between retail and the dealers who sell to dealers

Yeah, I should've said DTCC in robinhood case. Thanks for correcting me, GP. I should've remembered this from the tax statements changing

So have we all been saying it with the wrong emphasis?

Sequelite vs Sequel-lite

How does creator pronounce it in podcast?

I don't know the exact situation with all of them, but at least Robinhood and WeBull both occurred due to reliance on Apex Clearinghouse

I guess my point is: Not that they'd ever do this, but if the Fed were really concerned they could easily bail out tether without doing anything outside of the "norm".

> This isn't FUD, it's a call to action for communities and exchanges to start minimising their exposure to the risks that the current Tether situation poses.

This seems a fair description of your posts. It does not seem to describe the Fed governor's statement

> a list with at most one element

I've found scala or even LINQ to really hammer down this point, even to those who aren't into FP very much. Doing that map/flatmap makes it click for just about anyone

Being that the fed buys twice the entire tether market cap in bonds ($120B) every month, their "systemic risk" talk does seem a bit overblown.

I fully recognize the tether collateral situation is shady and could blow up. It also could remain shady and not blow up for a very very long time. It'd be a big deal for crypto but I'm not convinced it would be for the wider world.

I hate sounding like the maximalist who calls everything FUD, but it's really hard not to here

It's been a few years, but I worked on a dotnet core C# project once. Prod was Linux and dev usually OSX. I remember running a dotnet build to generate some kind of artifact (dll maybe) that still needed the SDK to run. Is there some other way to do it that made a self contained executable?

This is generally unavailable until 1 day after IPO.

I did have covid (not diagnosed while active but shown in antibody test), and I got vaccinated significantly later. This was not driven by belief in medical need, but by social/rules need. You get no "points" for being recovered like you do for a proof of vaccination.

Levine is so good. If you enjoy this stuff, I'd recommend signing up for his newsletter (picture exactly this link's contents in an email).

Unlike most of bloomberg, it is not paywalled at all.

I did this in New York when I was younger. Not as highly paid, and shorter seasons of course. The common thread I see here is that the pay scales with seniority/leadership more than with risk. The main difference is that this can be someone's career in LA, whereas in New York it's more or a seasonal supplemental (usually only teachers are longtimers) thing.

I believe the answer is yes, but this receives fairly little attention because people are more concerned about Bitfinex treasury and the USD backing than they are about the ethereum dependency
