Yeah big news there, I've been calling my pet capybara "swegsweg" for like 3 years now and he's started to say "swegsweg" like he's a pokemon or some shit
I feed my kid Sprinkled Donut Capn Crunch because it improves his cognitive performance in just 5 minutes. Usually after finishing the bowl he jumps up from his chair and screams "I LOVE IT!!!" and gives me a big high five and does a "victory lap" around the living room. No, we are not considering treatment for ADHD
Yeah. If you read the article, it is not asserting "Capitalism is Bad", it is saying that the rationality assumption implies that we don't need the market. If everyone was perfectly rational, we would all coordinate without the market.
I interpreted it to mean that they have a blunted stress response, nothing more. Maybe a lot of people that undergo stress have a twofold reaction: 1. downregulate the response to similar stressors 2. still have some bad feelings about what happened
I would rather have 1 & 2 than just 2 alone. So yeah, when they say "associated with" they aren't saying "caused"
How are we to know what to support as citizens? What's worse, cyberterrorism due to fundamentally insecure cryptography infrastructure, or physical terrorism due to a lack of spying capability? I am marginally more afraid of what terrorists can do with computers than what they can do with guns and bombs.
One of the major points made in the article is that nobody hears about the attacks that get prevented. It may just be that surveillance is very effective.
That's interesting that the mice with stressed parents dealt better with stress. I've typically interpreted this strain of study as a sort of depressing, "rich get richer" of biology concept where every generation gets more stressed out until they somehow get removed from the gene pool. But it seems like the exact opposite is the case, that there is an adaptive numbing effect
I don't understand why other market participants can't adapt to spoofing.
I agree that fines won't work because it's just another variable influencing the value of the spoofing strategy and if you get extreme about it you're punishing legitimate parties.
Maybe the real problem is the culture of finance. I'm sure this guy isn't all too embarrassed about what happened and there are plenty of people who would love to hire him
Honestly I could see investment bankers laughing at this article. I definitely feel like technology is WAY more flexible, where you can do the "hardcore 12 hour days" 200k/yr track and also the "10-5 with lunch" lazy man's 60k/yr track.
If you want to spend a bunch of time with your family and work 35 hours a week, guess what man, you can't drive a nice car, own a big house in Los Altos, or send your kids to private school. Pick a lifestyle and accept the drawbacks that come with it.
There's seriously nothing wrong with moving to a second tier city and making 60k/yr. Let the people who love stress and success do their thing in the Bay Area
