1. Securities exchanges have a well-defined process for clearing transactions, and don't receive off-schedule payouts from ostensibly independent entities in order to make those transactions work out.

2. If Binance goes under, what happens to the holdings of Binance.US customers if they are depending on transactions debited from Binance? It's not about clientele, it's about where the assets are parked.

3. You have the article's causality chain backwards. They establish the hypothesis first and then note that offshore market-making (noted in the Binance.US TOS) supports the hypothesis.

4. The article puts "market maker" in quotation marks, implying that it's not a real market maker but rather a vehicle to move funds to the other entity for the purpose of effecting trades. I interpret this as a no-arbitrage condition between the Binance and Binance.US.

5. The amount of money is irrelevant. If your assets are deposited in a regulated entity and then they get transferred to an unregulated entity for any reason aside from clearing your own transactions, something strange is going on.

6. Cross-exchange arb shouldn't result in USDT deposits on Binance.US dropping to six figures and then needing a $10M lifeline from Binance.

7. This "someone" as you put it was fairly prescient with regard to Alameda and FTX, using similar methodology, and faced similar criticism for the four or five days between their publication and the collapse of the FTX empire.

The fact that MS buys its business to give the impression of keeping up with AWS is not a secret - they can afford to do so by rebalancing revenue from Office and other cloud-adjacent productivity sales. GCP doesn't have that particular lever to pull, so is stuck with lower margins - accepting that ought to play out well for them in the long run if they drive prices down and become competitive that way, but Google has burned so much faith in its non-advertising products that you'd have to be a lunatic to adopt GCP as your first choice at this point.

"Is top round tender?

Top round tender is a dish made from the top of a chicken’s head. The name comes from the fact that it is usually served at the peak of a chicken’s life, when its flesh is soft and pink. It is also called an “enormous” or “giardine” bird."

Most of this proof is very dense. But Theorem 7 seems like an interesting tactic that allows the authors to infer nonexistence from rarity:

>Theorem 7. If there is a map L which cannot be 4-coloured then only an exponentially small fraction of the maps with n edges can be 4-coloured.

It's one of those things that seems obvious in retrospect — of course large random graphs should be likely to contain any particular graph! But it hadn't occurred to me in my own (very amateur) considerations of the problem.

> what appears to be, very profitable venture for many corporations.

It no doubt can be quite profitable where the tenants are willing to pay more than your costs. There are unquestionably markets where that is the case. I'm not sure it holds universally, though. Not everyone is a landlord in San Francisco renting out to software developers with the capability to pay almost anything to be there and a competitiveness to be willing to do so.

Do you really think the landlord in a dwindling town is profitable? As the town dwindles costs rise, and at the same time what incentive is there for the renters to pay more? It is not like there is a lineup behind them champing at the bit to rent the place when they leave.
I'm very skeptical of crypto, but what this is telling me is that at least one pro-crypto argument has _some_ merit: _some_ degree of additional transparency. Anyone could look at these addresses. This isn't the case with accounts in traditional banks.
My attitude is that if I really don't like something about your property, like tall grass, peeling paint, etc, then I should offer to help you fix it.

Not necessarily paying for materials, but just the labor part is usually a huge burden to many, such as the elderly. Hey, I have a lawn mower. It's no big deal to mow your lawn once in a while for you. Usually I'm too lazy to care about minor stuff like tall grass. I did help a neighbor fix a downspout since the contractor said she'd need fascia to put in a modern gutter and wanted $1k to do it. One hour of my time and about $25 in parts and scraps later, she has a working downspout. Isn't this what being neighbors is supposed to be?

Bad approach from the other party though - they should have let Elon keep talking and display more ignorance instead of confronting him and pointing out that he's clueless.

I frequently find the people demanding daily check-ins at my workplace are the ones lacking direction, and can't 'deeply' engage with the work for that reason, usually because their managers also lack direction (poorly defined vision, poorly defined requirements, etc) I wish managers could realize that 'more collaboration' by way of frequent meetings doesn't equal more productivity for the people who are actually doing the work.

> Maybe your cryptocurrency is different. But look: you’re in really poor company. When you’re the only honest person in the room, maybe you should be in a different room. It is impossible to trust you.

The recombination happens when the gametes are produced, during meiosis.

While in males there is no recombination between the X and Y chromosomes, in females sometimes there is recombination between the two X chromosomes.

Therefore the X chromosome received by a child from the mother may either be 1 of the 2 X chromosomes of the mother, chosen randomly, or it may be a combination of those 2 X chromosomes.

The inactivation of an X chromosome happens only in the female somatic cells, where the remaining active X chromosome is either the X chromosome of the father or 1 of the 2 X chromosomes of the mother or a combination of the 2 X chromosomes of the mother.
> there is e.g. a limited amount of fish protein that can be fed to life-stock.

I'd rather expect someone as a court-appointed expert that they have relevant, certified experience. In Germany, while judges are legally free to appoint whoever they want as experts unless there exist specially certified experts for the class of assessment[1], the parties involved usually present actual experts to the judge for selection - and the opposing side would challenge the selection of non-qualified experts.

you pay for my house? my car? my bills? no? then shut up, I do whatever I want with my property that I paid for. Is not your business what I do here, if you think that lowers 'your property value' that's your problem not mine, pay me then for not lowering yours, entitled kid, or do stuff on your own backyard to increase it.
Seriously the amount of power we have given others over our private property is maddening. HOAs and ordinances should be limited to common areas only. Private property is private, period.
In Germany, the place you bought the new oil from has to take the old one back. In case of Amazon, the recycling partner is (used to be?) is a nation wide chain of auto shops.

I wouldn't say that they're all doing it by trial and error.

Improving must mean here making even bigger and more complex pile of whatever, making it more vulnerable by complexity and new, barely tested or thought through new versions. We could live without that easily!
They could divert resources from "improvements" easily then and consequently making the job of ensuring the quality of already sold vulnerable products to live up to the minimum standards! Testing much much less of existing and broadly distributed products by not making so many obsolete versions so rapidly, putting resources where it counts instead of flashy pile of superficial sh*t! Something truly and reliable useful at last!

My university had its own combined cycle power/steam/chiller plant, although in structure you could think of it as a steam plant with generators and chillers that could be switched as needed. I would have guessed that a number of universities do, but my university had a relatively larger power systems program than others regionally.
Pretty basic compared to gitlab or github actions.
Having a garbage dump and having a car that needs work are not the same thing. Why is it that when these discussions come up the proponents for controlling other peoples behavior always bring these ridiculous over the top strawmen with obvious answers? Why not something like "if I throw a candy wrapper in my yard and it blows into your yard that affects you doesn't it?" The same point is made, but then it becomes obvious what is and isn't an externality: me having a car in my driveway with a flat tire is not causing a negative externality for you. Me piling garbage in my yard does.
Definitely still possible, various modding frameworks like Forge or Spigot for Java Minecraft still thrive.
> including anyone flying private

Why? The point of TSA in theory is to prevent you from taking a weapon onto a plane. If you are flying on your own plane or one you lease what benefit is there in going through TSA?

The whole point was to stop people hijacking or destroying a plane. If you've got the money to fly private you could just rent the plane for a day and fly it yourself. Plus i don't think there's been a single case of people hijacking a private jet...

> Don't allow congresspeople to bypass the TSA

the only people in commercial airports who can skip TSA AFIAK is diplomats, and that would be based under international law exempting them from search by another nation
I realise indeed, that's why I wrote twitter/nitter. I don't care about the openness of the scripts, since they don't run. Also someone compromise mastodon, and you can eat your open and reviewed scripts.

Many years ago I worked for a VOIP provider. The most expensive frauds that we detected was calling special service in remote place of the world like Tristan de Cunha, Nauru, Falkland or Buthan. Something like 50$ for minutes and 10$ at the response.
Procreate and Goodnotes for me.

Using the Apple Pencil with either app gives me the benefits of analogue work and the benefits of digital work. Handwriting helps me remember things, but since the product is digital, it's trivial to move/undo/etc.

And Procreate + Apple Pencil is way better than any other art solution I've found for digital art. Granted I've never tried a drawing tablet with a screen, but an extremely cheap option is still $200. For one that works as well as the AP + iPad you'd probably be looking at near the same price point.

Then it should be trivial for you to do exactly what the parent comment asked for and provide an example rather than calling it a bad faith argument.
Where does this logic end though? If I disparage a publicly traded company, and I somehow lower their stock value, do shareholders have a right to stop me?
> About a quarter of new pharmaceuticals are PFAS

Huh, TIL. I was going to rebut this but I looked into it. I didn't realize simply the presence of a -CF3 group is enough to classify the whole molecule as a PFAS according to new definitions.

> More recently (2021) the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) expanded the definition, stating that "PFASs are defined as fluorinated substances that contain at least one fully fluorinated methyl or methylene carbon atom (without any H/Cl/Br/I atom attached to it), i.e. with a few noted exceptions, any chemical with at least a perfluorinated methyl group (–CF3) or a perfluorinated methylene group (–CF2–) is a PFAS."[3][4]

That's a super popular moeity in medchem for whatever reason, so yeah, RIP all thing trifluoromethyl.

Difluromethylene can be degraded much more quickly as long as the molecule can be "unzipped" (needs a break point where nucleophilic attack can occur), so it's possible we may be able to sub in -CHF2 or -CH2F to "cap" molecules and render them less persistent.
The JavaScript heaps are distinct, that's true, but there is a single shared wasm heap which is used from multiple threads. That is enough to implement the pthreads API.

Applications like Photoshop and Google Earth use ptheads on the Web so their compiled C++ is multithreaded, very similar to how it would run natively, and with similar responsiveness and throughput speedups. Though there are some limitations too, see

At the turn of the millennium "internet skepticism" came down to trying to tell people not to trust their own pattern recognition. We were told that scientific controls, formalized in peer review and institutional authority were more rigorous and that hard proof in the form of collected data and evidence was the only true standard for empirically based discovery and truth (to be judged in the open and free discourse of science).

Now the institutions' corruption lays bare. The incentives of peer review are just as clearly malformed. Institutional authority is spent in a void of trust, the methodologies and discourse are often no longer open to the public, and we are even less likely to be free to discuss them online. Now the very "hard" evidence of recordings will be less than reliable and prone to falsification. I think I'll go back to "trusting my gut." This new technocratic rational skepticism seems to me a house of cards.
Which is odd because “powered” isn’t written anywhere on the page.
So first of all, go look at the Netherlands. The idea that you can't buy in bulk without a car is nonsense.

Even when I was child we had a little cart for the bicycle (or just pulling) that you could put a gigantic amount of food into.

Second, unless you live literally right in a city center where I would advocate outright banning cars, nobody is forcing you. And even then, if you need to move, there is likely some special thing you can get to be allow for that to happen.

What I want is for drivers to pay for the actual cost of space, and infrastructure (and pollution and sound and traffic) that they are causing. So if you are rich, then yeah, have a car, do your big box score shopping run and go buy 50kg of rice and store it in your underground bunker or whatever.

However, as a society, building a society where 20% have a car, rather then 80% is clearly a good thing, from virtually angle level you look at it. And even those people that have a car, maybe go from 4 trips a day to 0.5 trips a day.
