The point of the paper is they had inside information, so they did predict it.
Believe it or not, there were some traders that seemed to predict 9/11. https://www.jstor.org/stable/10.1086/503645#metadata_info_ta...
Elon Musk explicitly waived his right to due diligence. You're right about these things being expected, but Elon can't be hampered by such standard conventions.
> I’ll still stand by some web3 idea like using an NFT as some kind of license to access a service using web3 auth is a true and valid use case. How is this different from setting up a website and requiring a password…
Is that not an objective statement? I'm aware of the controversy, but that doesn't mean we should ignore facts.
Honestly, that's really not that important for what I was saying, because we're talking about the Fed. The Federal Reserve can choose to fight inflation or it can choose to inflate assets, and that lies on a spectrum.…
> In my personal view, it would be stupid to hike to 10% since that will also cut off the needed supply response: this will decapitate energy, farm, and housing expansion while at the same time decimating all forms of…
I've had the misfortune of suing insurance companies in the past; I'm very aware of how the system works. You are technically correct. It's just that you're grossly exaggerating exceptions as though they will ever be…
I don't know if the comment was edited or not, but I hope you're not claiming "vigilante" is a slur. I looked up the definition of slur just to be sure and you are technically correct, but I'd say you're abusing…
Technology is only neutral in the sense that guns, nuclear weapons, and neurotoxins are neutral. No, not all technology is the same, and much of it is evil. This loosely falls into the same fallacy of "it can either…
I donno, I feel your reactive defense of a smart thermostat (with a comical origin story) is more absurdist HN than the person you're replying to.
> I think if you succeeded in making a game that successfully simulated the experience of poverty, it would be extremely unfun to play. I don't think you're someone that plays many videogame simulations, as the whole…
I spent 5 minutes researching. Hell, you could just get the information from other comments if you're too lazy to do that.
Have you researched at all or are you just assuming the entirety of their claims? Did you know they lie about their efficacy rate? There's no upside. They've thought about nothing but how to make money from carbon…
It seems to be pretty common today, yeah. I'd say it's probably the most important thing for everyone I know, even moreso than compensation lately.
You have persuaded me.
Why?
You make a good point. Their product is better and cheaper!
Then what you're saying makes even less sense. Because what happened with Robinhood is they turned off the buy button, but still people could sell (which means there were buyers from other brokers or outside retail). I…
> Except they do. All the time when bubbles pop and other crisis form. Market halts are completely different from what we are discussing. And one of the purposes of market makers is to provide liquidity in extreme cases…
I am aware of that, and that is Robinhood being unable to manage their collateral requirements in order to continue trading GME. There were other brokers that managed to do it just fine. Robinhood messed up here. Really…
You say I deserve harsh criticism but get upset when I call you out for being an asshole? Man you just keep victimizing yourself. It's obvious you're convinced you're right and nobody can change your mind. I understand…
You actually make a lot of great points, and I agree with you up until this part: > When you try to justify racism and sexism against white men like you are doing above, you're not just slapping yourself in the face,…
Those are raw numbers. What happens when you consider that there are more white people than black people in the United States? It reverses your claim. Your numbers show there are roughly twice as many white people shot,…
You're focusing on one tiny anecdote of my life and generalizing it to my entire existence. I never said being discriminated against for a job was an example of incredible privilege - it's many of the other things that…
