>The "futures trader" extracting value from the system buying/selling futures has done no "real" work, their profit comes exclusively from making others pay more. The financial world is full of middle-men parasites like this.

If I am a farmer and I want to lock in a price for my crops right now, who am I supposed to sell that future to?

Sure, a small percentage of the time, I can sell to someone who knows that they need my crops on exactly that date of delivery, but a lot of the time there simply won't be anyone who knows at that exact moment that they need exactly what I am selling.

Having traders in the system means that I always have a buyer when I want to sell (and similarly when a user of the item wants to buy).

>They love to use the "making the market more efficient" and "price discovery" BS, but I believe they know what they're doing is solely about enriching themselves.

So what? If, through the trader solely enriching themselves, we get something useful from it, why does their motivation matter?

A baker bakes solely to enrich themselves as well - this is the nature of capitalism. The end result is what I care about.

Keep in mind that the relationship here is non-linear. A small de-peg signals a large imbalance of funds.

This non-linear relationship is literally programmatically hard coded in the case of money markets such as curve.fi

Currently the largest money market pool (https://curve.fi/3pool) it has a 5:1 USDT:USDC imbalance. In dollar amounts, the pool contains $1b USDT and $0.2b USDC.

This 5:1 imbalance only gives way to a 0.1% de-pegg.

In the past the balance used to be perfectly 1:1 USDT:USDC. The fact that a multi-million dollar arbitrage opportunity still exist is worrisome.

I'm not familiar with either of these platforms from a seller perspective. How does the math work out to paying double (40%)?

If you make a sale on BigCommerce then they take their 20%, but a separate sale on Shopify should only be 20%. The only way that you'd end up paying 40% total is if both platforms take their cut for the same sale. Is this how each sale is structured?

There is a counterparty to every financial transaction. Presumably, both sides are happy if they agree to trade with each other. All of what you call "unproductive financial schemes" are mostly about exchanging risks, just like insurance.
Exactly. The problem is that “good/useful” is in the eye of the beholder.

For example, bank prop trading bans went into effect but really how does one differentiate prop from “customer facilitation” or heding. Its a sliding scale of grays.

So instead of Citi having a trader going “I think I’ll buy some S&P calls today and bet on the index” he instead can only do that if 1) a client wants to sell some & he takes the other side, or 2) there is some other exposures accumulated do to customer facilitation such that he can justify buying S&P as a hedge.

The same risk is being put on, but for different reasons. Or you could say the only thing that is changed is who has initiated the risk - customer, instead of bank.

Futures of course exist for very good, historical reasons. How do people think their home heating oil company offers you fixed price contracts for the season, etc?

Nice - this means the May 1988 issue of CACM is freely available. That's notable because the cover article is Cliff Stoll's "Stalking the Wily Hacker" [1], with the material that later became his book "The Cuckoo's Egg". But I've still got the dead-tree version of that issue around somewhere in storage because of another article, by Andrew Appel and Guy Jacobson, "The World's Fastest Scrabble Algorithm" [2]. I coded that up back then, in Pascal IIRC, and had a blast doing so.

The trailing slash is not the issue here. With `fd` the first argument is the pattern to search for, not the starting point like in `find`.

For example to find fonts.conf below /etc, with fd you would do:

fd fonts.conf /etc

And with find:

find /etc -name fonts.conf

In other words with find the first argument is always the starting point. And leaving it out implies the current directory as the starting point.
My doctor suggested I take this last year for my GAD. I've been taking it since September, and it's definitely been a huge change for me. Previously, I was really "on edge" and would get panic attacks semi regularly. I haven't had a full panic attack since starting to take in, and day to day I feel much more like I'm able to function like a regular person instead of always having that "on edge" feeling.

I guess it's possible it could be a placebo? Previously I was on lexapro for a while, and that didn't seem to be as effective as this, and had some side effects.
> Your argument that they do is based on the assumption that they are not applied to that group

I'd qualify it more as; I don't believe these ideas are easy to implement for that group vs. non-service roles.

Now, I am based in the UK so things may vary around the world but I disagree with your assertion about the wage & hours laws.

For example; here we have a maximum working week of 48 hours. This was supposed to help people in the service industry but actually it mostly helps office workers. We have leverage to kill off the crazy hours expected in creative roles. However, service workers have wage pressure to sign waivers to let them work more than the 48 hours (because minimum wage is not a living wage).

These things have to work in tandem to drive up lower-income wealth but they just don't - so I object to other initiatives which don't directly address the problem.

Anything that says "just hire more people" is an unsustainable plan which ignores the economics (most people work in service industry, and mostly in part time roles). The outcome of increasing demand on that industry OR forcing the full time workers to work less is that the part-time workers would need to work more.

> No, I don't.

Great! We all need this attitude.

But I assert the vast majority will still want their 10pm Starbucks, Friday restaurants and Sunday shopping trips (also, it's not a high-wage sacrifice - the majority are also service workers and they also want these things, it's a circular economy!).

Oddly we are probably largely in agreement; I just think we need to be more radical in how we fix this otherwise we will just have another cycle that depresses the lower-income workers opportunities.

I just learned of the job title "staff engineer". If you look that name up, you may find it matches your personal work experiences. It involves seeing problems from varying levels of detail, understanding business needs, talking to non-technical people, and yet still understanding architecture and programming best practices. A good staff engineer will help make the company more successful while not being an expert at anything.
Mind if I ask why none of the projects have ever come to life, is it lack of desire to make them more than an escape technique, or is ADHD or something else preventing you from doing what you would otherwise like to do?

I ask because it sounds to me like if you could figure out how to channel all of that energy going into your projects into the right thing then maybe in addition to the escape you might find your difficulty turns into a super power - many people would kill for the focus needed to write 60k words of game design!

Of course, figuring out some sort of "right thing" that's both easy for the mind and useful to do isn't always easy, and finding something in that venn overlap might be easier than expected or take so many failed attempts that it seems hopeless before finally stroking gold.

Or am I commenting too much from a place of not having lived in your mind, and the wandering nature of ADHD leaves you helpless to channel it at all, just having to hope that it might wander in useful directions?

> Maybe I trust people too much, but I feel people will find and make their own opportunities to collaborate if they feel like collaboration is required to complete their tasks.

I find this breaks down at larger companies. The problem is that people often do not understand when collaboration is required. This is usually not their fault. Someone up failed to communicate up or down the chain (either on the receiving or sending end).

I've watched groups reproduce each other's works, bungle rollouts, etc. based on this lack of communication. The cost of these miscommunications was sometimes greater than everyone's salary put together. A truly excellent culture of communication and collaboration reduces the frequency and severity of these events but there's no silver bullet.
You will save even more lives if you over-communicate about the need to use your awareness tools (with better false positive reduction) to drive more effective diagnosis.
I used this technique to teach my children about politics, business and governance. Essentially any domain characterized by imperfect information, imperiled by cognitive bias, or containing incentive for deceit. The larger lesson I hoped to convey was a healthy skepticism of purported statements of truth, including mine. But much as in the article, the greatest value lay in the boost to engagement and interaction with the material. My kids loved finding the lie almost as much as I loved planning them.
There are plenty of good uses, projects like BOINC have been using GPUs for good for over a decade. The problem is the incentive system disappears, it's a lot easier to get people to run 32 million GPUs when it makes them money instead of costs them money.

Another caveat is that infectiousness is correlated to the current viral load of the HIV+ partner in all of these acts. Most estimates like the ones you give are averages for all viral loads at varying stages of HIV infection.

Someone about a year into the infection will be around the natural low-level during the dormant phase, with perhaps only 10,000s of viral copies per ml of blood. Someone a few weeks after infection, or in the early stages of AIDS after some years, can have millions of copies per ml. The relationship between viral load and infectiousness seems to be, approximately, a simple exponential curve. One Australian study found that your odds of infection with receptive anal sex with a newly HIV+ partner at peak viral load could be as high as 1 in 3, while in the latent phase in may be more like 1 in several hundred, or even lower.

>So much for innocent until proven guilty.

I'm not sure how long it has been this way, but "innocent until proven guilty" isn't true in most of the country. If you are arrested, you will spend at least a day in jail if you can make bail. If not, you will spend weeks or months in jail prior to your first hearing. Often, that hearing will just be to setup another hearing, months down the line. So, you could be in jail a very long time without ever having a hearing at all, and without the state proving your guilt.

Even if you are rich and innocent and lucky, then you will spend a day in jail, and spend thousands on bail and lawyers, and if found innocent you will still have all of it on your record, lost all of that money, a day of your life, the abuse of the police officer and jailors, and there are many situations where answering "yes" to "have you ever been arrested" will disqualify you.

So, yeah, innocent until proven guilty is not a thing in the US. I fear that people might read this and think it's hyberbole, or that I'm part of some right-wing conspiracy theorist thing. It's not, I'm not. If you know a LEO, ask them. A LEO in the US is judge, jury and executioner, and they are quite happy for this to be the case. It means they get to do whatever they want. It is remarkable that Chauvin got convicted for murdering George Floyd on camera! That's why I think the BLM protests aren't quite right - should be CLM, civilians lives matter, because it's not about race, it's about giving low-to-average intelligence people absolute power over everyone around them.

You could also buy this €9 ticket, go to a Czech border town, and take DB trains all the way to the Netherlands.

For example, you could do Decin (Czech) to Glanerbrug (Netherlands) in 12.5 hours with only 7 changes, all on RB/RE and S-Bahn trains.

Of course, that's still going to be a long journey, but you can break it up anywhere you want and stay at cheap hotels in random German towns along the way that you otherwise would never have considered visiting!

A _very_ consistent issue I have is my car did not come with Bluetooth audio (it was a $800 option at the time). I bought a Bluetooth adapter that just plugs into AUX. My current Android phone will not automatically connect to this device, but it will connect to the car's hands-free. Yes, the car has hands free but no BT audio, that's BMW for you. When I'm out of the car, the adapter will not let go of my phone so my phone will just keep broadcasting music for hours.

A fault of the phone? Probably not, it's more like the adapter works _too well_. It really only needs to be tuned for a few feet, realistically, but yet works up to practically 30 feet away with the adapter IN THE CAR 3 FLOORS BELOW ME. The adapter is marketed for use in the car.

Anyway, every so often when I had an iPhone it would prefer playing over the hands-free instead of the BT audio adapter... because that's preferable for music apparently??

I feel like the spec needs to be revamped. BLE was a good addition, but I'd love to see introduction of some sort of mesh and more accurate proximity detection. Apple had to mash two different techs together just to get AirTags to work.
