The bar for insider trading is higher but it’s not missing. Governmental employees for instance have explicit laws about their behavior as insider trading in commodities.
“Someone capable of finding a serious vulnerability is probably capable of exploiting it themselves. They don’t need a buyer.”
I’m responding to this. I would assume the list of people able to find a vulnerability is much much greater than the number of people willing to do a one off heist with it.
You think that most security researchers that can find an exploit are all willing to commit a heist with that exploit?
I’m not in the security industry but that strains credulity.
Caused by an account take over? This is letter of the law stuff and something bank (and other financial firms) employees receive specific training on. The customers loss is capped and their bank is on the hook.
For inter-bank transactions involving a scam that causes the customer to “voluntarily” send money it depends on the rail. But US ACH rules cover reversals due to fraud and have pretty substantial rules about it.
If your money is stolen from a bank account via fraud you have recourse to get it back, and it’s pretty straightforward to do in most cases.
To be fair, Batesvilles owners, until recently, were famous for innovation in caskets.
Not so much for short interview cycles.
If anything the hiring practices have gotten much shorter.
I’ve had the _Batesvilke Casket Company_ in _Batesville Indiana_ demand I come in for multi-day interviews.
Big companies have thousands of budgets. An email is _worthless_. In fact, it would probably cause me to lose faith in a cloud that provided that as the control.
Features for bad customers that risk good customers are easy to say no to.
Because most enterprise users would much rather have overages in billing than outages. The opportunity costs on any serious service I deploy dwarfs usage pricing, at least at the level a generic cloud can determine.
So it’s a feature the best customers don’t want, that adds risk to those customers deployments, to appease the worst customers.
At least historically. Perhaps Simon is right that the calculation has changed.
Every consumer bank and piddly credit union in America will offer cash management customers a sweeps program that will stripe your funds across banks to keep you under the insured limit at each bank.
Whether you want to do that vs bonds is a risk, liquidity and yield decision.
Even a cursory reading of that article is full of stat crimes. They denominate a single value for the past then a gigantic range for current times. But basic math shows no major increase for the bottom of their range in their own numbers.
I don’t have any intuition or stats either way but that’s a bad and biased citation.
Which is not surprising giving it’s selling something.
The more fair reading of the parent comment is that some people bought homes prior to 1968 with racial covenants attached that were subsequently made illegal. Those homes built in that regime still exist. So we have precedent within the lifetime of the _homes_ for this sort of change.
Also just as an interesting historical oddity, here is a map of home deeds in Chicago that still have (obviously illegal and unenforceable) racial covenants. Including tons in the Washington park neighborhood made famous by Raisin in the Sun!

Fwiw I’ve had next day non-emergency mri (and sadly same day emergency mri). And this was across 2 states. I absolutely believe that coverage is spotty. But mri machines are extremely common in most places in the US.
You can easily find MRI in the US for less than half of that. Though a trip to SE Asia sounds nice.
I live 8 blocks from the fairs location. The parks it left are central to my daily life.
My daily commute is by open air rail in Chicago.
Me and my fellow commuters know snd like our conductors.
Your presentation about fiat money is more biased than anything presented in the article.
Take the UK. They only left the gold standard due to ww1. But they broadly stopped accepting anything but governmental currency in the 1400s for tax payment.
It turns out money is more useful than commodities even when it’s a 1:1 relationship and even with that 1:1 relationship governments want their currency to have official legitimacy.
This is the right response.
Most state bar associations require a lawyer (or group of them) to own law firms. That _doesnt_ prevent law firms from doing crazy deals to gain liquidity for their partners, including from private equity.
Dictating who has to “own” something just incentivizes people to separate ownership from financial benefit. In most cases that’s just plain worse than letting real ownership happen.
If there is a business practice you don’t like, regulate the practice, not the corporate structure.
This is the real crime of llms on writing. They’ve taken perfectly reasonable verbal ticks (the one I miss being able to use is scaffolding) and caused the audience to rebel against them en masse. Verbiage is a great word. I refuse to give it up. It’s load bearing even.
Compare the US and China on oil usage. The US is a net exporter compared to China being a huge importer.
And they for _sure_ are pulling from reserves since the US attacked Iran. The volume of imports and usage figures can only be explained that way. The impressive thing is the numbers suggest their reserves were massive and probably bigger than anyone thought.
They are for sure electrifying fast. In many ways the envy of the world on this. But they are oil import dependent and likely going to be more so soon if their reserves draw down too far.
China has almost certainly been dramatically drawing down their oil reserves. They don’t publish trustworthy numbers on it like western countries do, but their import rates dropped too fast for any other explanation.
That’s not to say they haven’t done a phenomenal job with demand destruction it’s just their own domestic usage is still very high and they have to import unlike other heavy users.
Nike famously built there business on the back of the running trend of the late 70s and early 80s. It’s headquartered where it’s headquartered because of its association with a monster collegiate running program.
Before that they were known specifically for their innovation in serious running shoes.
If anything it’s that they abandoned that which caused their current downswing.
Do you have code formatters, linters and static analysis?
I can get extremely dumb models to get our code style correct because of those guard rails and a specific style document.
Aluminum smelters have run their own power generation for ages and don’t get to skip epa regulations.
8 is about my limit but I never have less than 4.
America can feed every person in the country easily, we import luxury goods cause we like coffee and out of season vegetables not because we’ve lost the production capability. If anything we are over subsidizing calories.
We also have enough nukes to glass the surface of the planet, enough firearms for every man woman and child to dual would them and 7x the rest of the worlds military.
The US’s people don’t need protection from other nations we need protection from each other.
Tariffs are much more regressive than our normal tax policy. Which is probably the reason this administration prefers them.
