There's a mountain of difference between sending customer money to purchase customer's own securities, versus raiding customer accounts to pay a margin call against your own bond holdings.

You cannot raid customer funds to pay for proprietary (broker's own) activity. Of course using customer own funds to pay for customer's own orders is not restricted. There's nothing to collateralize for a fully cash funded share purchase. Collateral can only possibly be an issue if the customer is trading on margin.
For a long time this sort of worked for both sides as the bathroom foot traffic would often buy some small item in the store and most items sold at gas stations have a hefty markup. Buying a Coke for $3 might net as much profit for the gas station as buying $30 of gas. Besides, the gas station can never tell if you're going to buy gas and just want to pee first.

Since the pandemic, a lot of gas stations summarily closed their bathrooms - even to customers. It sucks.

When uBlock first came onto the scene, its main selling point was that it had vastly better performance than Adblock when using filter sets that had lots of block rules based on CSS selectors rather than just URL regexes. And third-party filterset subscriptions that made heavy use of CSS-based element blocking rules had become quite popular by then. So an API that only provides for URL blocking is missing almost the entire point of uBlock.

(I wasn't using any third-party filtersets at the time, so I found uBlock unimpressive and stuck with Adblock Plus for quite a while because I found its UI better for curating my own blocking rules.)

> Return to capital > growth of economy. This is the central dogma of Piketty's Capital.

The problem with this is taking it as a law of nature rather than an observed behavior over a specific period of history. And notably one with a stark lack of antitrust enforcement.

Suppose you bust up monopolies and require companies to compete with each other. Then prices go down, which increases growth (lower price, higher demand), but decreases return on capital (lower margins). Is r > g still true then? Maybe not. I say we try it and find out.
The "Follow up experiments" section of the Wikipedia article somewhat contradicts you:

> Studies that followed up on the contribution of environmental enrichment to addiction produced mixed results. A replication study found that both caged and "park" rats showed a decreased preference for morphine compared to Alexander's original study; the author suggested a genetic reason for the difference Alexander initially observed.[9] Another study found that while social isolation can influence levels of heroin self-administration, isolation is not a necessary condition for heroin or cocaine injections to be reinforcing.[10]

> Other studies have reinforced the effect of environmental enrichment on self-administration, such as one that showed it reduced re-instatement of cocaine seeking behavior in mice through cues (though not if that re-instatement was induced by cocaine itself)[11] and another that showed it can eliminate previously established addiction-related behaviors.[12] Furthermore, removing mice from enriched environments has been shown to increase vulnerability to cocaine addiction[13] and exposure to complex environments during early stages of life produced dramatic changes in the reward system of the brain that resulted in reduced effects of cocaine.[14]

> Broadly speaking, there is mounting evidence that the impoverished small cage environments that are standard for the housing of laboratory animals have undue influence on lab animal behavior and biology.[15] These conditions can jeopardize both a basic premise of biomedical research—that healthy control animals are healthy—and the relevance of these kinds of animal studies to human conditions.[16]

>I might add that while Nvidia is often reviled for its GPU drivers being proprietary, they are still excellent drivers nonetheless.

Couldn't disagree more. For the last 4 to 5 months or so, Nvidia's drivers have been horrendous. I've experienced numerous crashes with my GTX 2080 Super card. About once every two days I experience a kernel panic and the only solution is to reboot. There are multiple threads on this issue on Nvidia's official Linux forum and Nvidia's driver developers have stated they don't know what the cause is and cannot reproduce it. [1]

My HDMI also doesn't work well after the computer wakes-up from sleep. Sometimes the monitor does work, sometimes it doesn't. It's also a known issue.

I'll be looking at AMD and their graphics cards a lot more closely when I build my next computer later this year. I just can't deal with Nvidia's driver issues. It's extremely annoying and it has wasted a ton of my time.

I've been using Nvidia's HW with GNU/Linux for about a decade and have never had any major issues and have always been happy with the performance and reliability. However, this is not the case anymore.

I'm pretty sure all this mess started when Kernel devs started blocking Nvidia's "GPL condom" effort [2].

> I'd rather take a small hit to the expected value of my returns in order to reduce risk of being on the wrong side of that average.

This is a common fallacy. That is not actually the tradeoff you are making, in fact you are taking a hit to the mean value, and also greatly increasing the chances of being on the wrong side of the average[1]. Dollar cost averaging increases variance and decreases the expected return in proportion to your averaging period. You earn less and have a much lower floor for almost no increase in the ceiling.

The situation is worse than ever in my opinion, there are very few used books and they cost as much as the new ones or more. The new books from previously well respected editions (eg Springer GMT) are now 'print on demand' directly by resellers, that means longer time to receive the books and often a very bad binding which last only a few years before falling apart. Of course they kept the same price.

That page is inaccurate, according to historical data the downside risk is always greater with dollar cost averaging: https://ofdollarsanddata.com/lump-sum-investing/

This is because there are always two downsides, the risk of investing just before a huge crash, but also the risk of holding out while a boom passes you by. People always psychologically overweight the former due to loss aversion, but the latter is more pernicious.

"People" aren't actually a variable in this.

The variable is "amount of potential interactions with the environment". People are a part of ones environment.

Compared to someone who sits at home all day, the odds of "having luck" increase dramatically simply by going outside and walking around.

This includes "meeting new or old people", talking to them, sharing what you do etc.

What the author completely ignores is that it also increases the odds of getting unlucky.

Gemini is a cool piece of simple tech. I had a genuine pleasure reading the spec: https://gemini.circumlunar.space/docs/specification.html

I've entertained an idea to build a set of tools for contemporary development (version control, code review, CI, etc) which would only speak Gemini. That would be both the UI and the API.

Blockers came fast:

* no way to upload anything that exceeds 1024 bytes,

* escaping is subtly broken and so it would be impossible to review code written in Python or Markdown (triple quotes)

* No text editing capabilities, pretty much.

Which is fine: Gemini is great because it's restricted. It's nearly impossible to abuse. It will find its users, even if it would not be me.

> the lump sump has a higher probability of failure

For this to be true, you must be a successful market timer. Whatever your DCA period is, at the end of the period, you are fully invested -- a crash at that point in time would hurt you just as much as a crash would hurt a 100% equities from day 1 investor. DCA'ing is a bet that a crash will occur sometime before you are fully in. In every other scenario, the DCA is strictly worse. If you don't happen to know the timing of future crashes, it's better to put your money to work now than later, come what may.

To account for non-linearly increasing dollar utility, it's better to choose a less volatile asset allocation, not to delay your investment period.
