That provides extremely low edge for both parties involved. Your participant with a history of trades could just as easily do research using public information (company press release aggregation is a classic version) to get similar edge without entering a criminal conspiracy.

Notice I mention high leverage. There are 2 challenges (as I see it) to committing insider trading. The first is having information ahead of time that actually predicts how the market will move based on the information. It’s not enough to know a company will have a good quarter you need to know it will be better than expected.

Second you need to be able to make outsized returns on that information. You have to beat the market returns by themselves. This compounds with the other issue above. The less obviously market moving data you have the more leverage you need.

This narrows the search space pretty considerably for an analytics based approach. You look at insiders with lots of access or anyone making high leverage bets.

Finally, do a mental exercise on your step 2. What does that even look like? An insider randomly approaching hedge funds? A random encounter at a bar? A frat reunion where they share each other’s trading history like term papers?
Indeed, this makes even more sense than my explanation!
Sorry, I just scanned the comments and didn't find anyone mentioning this:

It's really easy to spoof a phone number for SMS if you know which network the person's phone is on. Trivial if you know how. There's no black magic to this. At least, it was so a couple years ago. The last time I fooled with that for fun, I spoofed one of my friends admitting to another that he'd slept with the other guy's wife and decided afterwards he was gay. I managed to insert it from his phone number into our group chat as it appeared on android. (I think it might've ended up in a separate chat sequence on iphone). That was funny.

There's no dark arts here.
Just a personal recommendation for domestic use. I use two Bosch 36V 4.0AH batteries for their mower, strimmer, and leaf blower. For long tasks, I put the first battery on charge as soon as depleted and switch to the second one. I haven't been without juice so far.

It disappoints me. The usual result of any new game I am looking forward to is effectively first a massive private equity/VC funded pile of advertising and spam that exists to pay people to reverse engineer new games just to datamine it onto a wiki covered in advertising that is filled in by children desperately chasing the next bronze or silver contributor badge for having over 1k edits or some bs like that.

Verilog RDP leak is overrated, IMHO. It helps to shape “broadly” how the black box (for the time) RDP works so RE work can starts.

TBH, most peoples still prefer to RE on dedicated N64 hardware (hand crafted physical CPU interrupt/inspection). The problem is Verilog source alone is not that useful as you need to “plug” it to CPU with the N64 interface.

It's a smaller problem, but also easier to solve. The costs of a few suppliers changing their satellite propellants are orders of magnitude less than ending global coal usage (though both would be nice, of course).

It is also much lighter.

The question was which are the heaviest usable elements, and those are iodine and xenon.

Iodine is also cheap. However the fact that it is not an inert gas like krypton and xenon creates some difficulties, even if those are balanced by its easier storage.
How do you get the profit into your hands?

Cash? Bitcoin?

Will this other person keep their mouth shut when the SEC comes knocking because some very successful traders seems to be handling a lot of cash or crypto? Or will they flip on you to stay out of prison?

It's not. It's fraud. If you pursue this in small claims court, make sure to include the paid equivalent of time off from work you needed to deal with the matter.
> I don't think a whitelist of phone numbers is a workable solution for most people.

My local hospital telephones with private numbers, which is the only reason I cannot completely block them and thus cannot use a whitelist. Outside of working hours I do not answer them. I told them it is a problem and they placed a note in my record to call me from a public phone which is nice of them (not their own desk but from a service desk which has a number displayed) but I imagine they sadly sometimes forget.

The UK number is a hassle too, all kinds of +44 numbers spoofing or reusing existing non-fixed location numbers to seem legitimate since some phones provide direct listing of the name of the company. They are actually foreign redirects which cost insane amounts of money if you call them back.

I would also like a native way of blacklisting number blocks (like +44), my phone currently can't unfortunately.

yeah, atrocious: I can reach roughly 20Gbps routed on my not too expensive home Opnsense box with firewalling and many other features (which is absolutley unnecessary for me). No routing by a CPU is not for routing between Comcast and Google, but it has it´s place and works so well, that a lot of opensource routing projects were supported by big vendors and telcos. Also networking for containers depends on this...
I have to agree. Basically if your users will just use the reader, they will never hit the real websites.

There are ways to manage the risk of buffer overflow in C without changing the language, but C programmers don't want to do it, because traditionally they believe they need to be brave and do it the hard way.
The ability to copy 2FA enables a big attack — elevating brief access into permanent. Someone borrows your phone for a minute and after that has permanent access.

I think the best we can do is to have 2FA that can't be copied and recovery that's difficult to reach for an attacker. Google suggested using an app on the phone for 2FA and a piece of paper for recovery.
I get loads of spam text and calls in India(even with DND) so the story is weird to hear.
"Maybe our bridges are fine"

I think thus can and perhaps should be refuted as the bridges are not fine. The 2019 report of bridges in WA found 6.6% to be in poor condition and more than half of the approximate 8000 bridges need repair. https://infrastructurereportcard.org/state-item/washington/

Seattle has about 6 or 7 very major bridges. One of the largest, the west seattle bridge has been closed for over a year because it was suddenly in danger of collapse. This is a bridge that carried over 100k cars per day. (https://www.seattle.gov/transportation/projects-and-programs...)

I think the point of grimacing while crossing a bridge is that the engineers know the problems and how pervasive they are. As a user of websites, you may think some are really solid. Having worked for one (a website virtually everyone has used), when you see the bug queues, all the outages, and all the problems, you realize it's not the steel fortress that it would appear to be from the native outsider
Kill drones? Social credit scores? Re-education island?

What are you crazy?

The status quo works fine. People you don't like (and, bonus, the ones you do, too) stay indoors addicted to bad dopamine cycles. You don't sell footage of their incarceration to netflix - their incarceration is _watching_ netflix. It's also their re-education. It's robotic enough, it (eventually) kills them off, it's already here, and it's already profitable. You don't have to bother processing their next of kin's data either, because by and large they won't be having any, sitting alone, at home, for all their free time. For the foreseeable future, efforts should be focused on improving the efficiency of systems that already exist, not building solutions in search of a problem.

> But it does, it increases information available to the public.

A little less pedantically for those who enjoy repetition and are prone to dogma, more information is not always better. In this case, as is in general, there should be some qualitative analysis, e.g., the type of information, how it was gathered, its method of distribution,...etc.

On another note, the Efficient Market Hypothesis (EMH) is not reality. I say this because you have used several core tenets in your discourse repeatedly. I acknowledge the high probability that I am most likely dealing with a college student fresh out of introductory Macro. Yes, the class is interesting and exciting. Here is a lesson, EMH is a model used to help us reason about the market. Its an abstraction based on an abundance of simplifying assumptions, ceteris paribus. Anybody who does not disabuse themself of this notion that EMH follows reality is a fine and perfectly capable person who may make a lot of money some day (fingers crossed), but they don't really add much to the conversation.

Finally, unrelated to the aforementioned, yet I don’t care to answer any more of your responses to my posts, so I’ll add this here: look up the ‘straw man fallacy.’ I tend to shy away from using biases and fallacies in general discussion, they seem to miss more than they hit. However, my distaste doesn’t stem from those who use them effectively to facilitate when they hold relevance. No, my distaste comes from those who use them as the argument itself. It is lazy and adds nothing to of value, much like allowing insider trading. If you can explain what makes my example of financial auditors' a 'straw man', especially when it was solicited by a general question asking for examples, then you can claim you 'dominated the conversation' / won or whatever this is.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man - here is a link, figure it out.
Once or if?
Normally I'm glad to have a good debate about whether Charles Murray is racist, but the point I'm trying to make here is that whether he is or not is irrelevant.

Here we are talking about class differences. That's the primary subject of The Bell Curve (indeed he only devotes a scant few pages to the subject of race) and the only thing relevant to this discussion. Even if he were racist, them implication that he would have nothing important to say on matters of class is absurd.

> just look at the ratio of the Wikipedia articles for each book which is devoted to criticism and controversies.

Wikipedia is a great source finding out that things exist and their connections to other things, but there is no reason to believe it is objective with regard to politically charged issues.

That is not to say that the criticisms are wholly without merit, but few are actually technical critiques of the data or analysis.

Which is actually kind of sad, because while the technical critiques may be good (I haven't the time yet to check) the non-technical critiques I've studied are pretty poor.

> If both books were criticized and surrounded in controversies, one was definitely worse then the other.

The counter argument to that is that going against the shibboleths of our modern era is going to get you more flak, regardless of whether you are right or not.

This does not mean that Murray is correct because he is going against the grain and gets a lot of negative attention. Simply that all of the negative attention tells you a lot less than you might otherwise hope.

> So what you really end up doing is finishing at noon some days and then procrastinating on everything while you do nothing productive or fun because you've done everything you could with your budget 100 times over after years of this lifestyle.

This indicates that you are tying "free time" closely with "spending money" by doing some costly activity. Perhaps that's the issue right there.

Just sitting in the sunshine at a lake with a book, or with a cappuccino in a cozy coffee place downtown chatting with friends, neither costs significant money. Or go running or biking or swimming or rock climbing. Or hack a cool side project in Haskell, whatever floats your boat.

I'm not sure what you are aiming for to do with your free time, but if anything that doesn't cost significant money you book as "just procrastinating" instead of enjoying the free time, then that's the issue here.
But it's not even in use now, when, if it could be used as a cheaper fuel, it would.

So having read this, the answer seemed obvious:

Send a text (iMessage) to myself on the phone. Then look at it, and block my own number. The phone then reported it would block calls, FaceTime, messages from my own number.

Since I don't expect to ever need to call/message/FaceTime myself, that seems like a zero cost solution.

I run a SaaS, whose users can enable sending SMS from their number.

We have an agreement with a bulk SMS provider to allow us to do this (we had to show proof of our application, our mobile number verification process, and give our use case).

When users send an SMS from within our application, we send it as if it came from their number. Then recipients can then reply directly to their phone. Our users love it.

So yes, there are real use cases where the ability to do this is beneficial.

> It's important that people, especially immigrants, can get into these schools based solely on their test scores and not have to do any of the other trivial stuff that demonstrates that they can participate in the society in which they live.

I genuinely thought your comment was serious before reading other comments and realizing you were being sarcastic.

It actually *is* important that these people can get into these schools. If they are studying and working diligently they will contribute to society.

If you need them practicing sports or singing in choir for you to understand that they can participate in society, then that is your failure on assessing students.

Good or bad, it's the logical conclusion given the free market, healthcare, and the Internet. The real problem is the "as someone without insurance" bit, the bigger question is what is best for society?

"Our users love it" is not the same as "yes,there are real use cases where...", which is not the same as "this is good and correct because..."

My phone company apparently provides anonymous spamming service. New data protection rules forbid them to share your name and phone number, so they went ahead and created a service where marketers can call people without a phone number.

You want to reach females aged 30-35 in a city? Simply call or send an SMS from the API and you will be connected to a random one who matches your criteria.

At least, that's what my spammer told me when I insisted on telling me who gave them my phone number. Apparently, I gave the consent to be included in the pool at the time of purchasing some data package or something like that.
Pretty disgusting. The university's behavior deserves lots of castigation, but, instead, I feel like it's time to air what is apparently one of my more unpopular opinions:

Legal parental rights in the West are way too strong. This perspective is largely informed by a long-term relationship with someone who went through the foster care system, so I'm obviously biased, but:

CPS and foster care are fundamentally garbage because they're reactive. You can layer on as many mandatory-reporting requirements as you want, but at the end of the day the only truly effective measure is to legally empower the individuals in question and stop employing men with guns as agents of child abuse. Kids should be legally emancipated at age 13, if not younger, and given a UBI to enable them to live independently while studying.

Our structures of power and privilege are inherently biased towards the powerful and privileged - bureaucracy is ripe for subversion by class allies, like Mackenzie's parent. We too often conceptualize child neglect and abuse as a pathology of the "poors" - instead, it is shockingly common and shockingly under-reported, but the effect is masked by a system that isn't incentivized to actually care for its charges but instead to conspire with their abusers. Something similar happened in the case I'm personally familiar with.

Considering the atrocities justified daily by "the kid's best interest" makes me physically ill. Except in cases of extreme mental illness, and maybe not even then, nobody but the person in question is qualified to make that call.

This is one of the areas where I think we've had a silent regression over the past century-ish: often well-intentioned structures mean that starting over fresh is basically impossible, even for kids who have done nothing wrong. We should consider the sort of damage that these systems exert on the fringes while implementing them.
I feel that very profoundly, and always brings to my mind the phrase "And if you gaze for long into an abyss, the abyss gazes also into you."
