The concept of "accredited investors", itself, is a great data point for why our implementation of capitalism isn't really capitalism. When opportunities are given explicitly to the rich, you don't have a free market.
I know that's not 100% relevant but it was therapeutic to write it.
Thanks for spreading the word. The DTCC portion of this sounds like they had a "liquidity problem" in the sense that they were trying to prevent one.
The portion about not having a plan for when market makers don't want their action -- and they have to instead pay to use exchanges -- seems like a pretty stupid problem they set themselves up for.
I'm confused why you're bringing up "blocking people from selling". Has that ever happened? It certainly isn't happening here.
Edit: I'm guessing it's because the above comment said "only BUYING". I think that was a distinction from blocking both buying AND selling. If you block only one, it forces the market.
Yep you're right -- oversight on my part. To be clear, the "not sure why you'd run a query like that" was referring to doing it the InfluxQL way (which is not the same thing)...where your results would end up being the same controlling for time range.
Huh? I don't mean to come off as blaming anyone for anything. Trying to offer a work around for their problem with InfluxQL. They usually exist. They may not be good enough for some but offering them doesn't hurt. In this case, I certainly misunderstood the need though.

Boolean is supported. You query it in the WHERE clause.
Try `SELECT MAX(temperature) FROM ... WHERE temperature > 10`. That said, I'm not sure why you'd run a query like that in InfluxQL as it's the same as `SELECT max(temperature)`. :).
(Solution architect at InfluxData here) Out of curiosity...what was the need for this DELETE? Deleting (not dropping) being somewhat of a "second class citizen" was a design choice to make room for more pressing time series needs. In my experience, `DELETE`ing is rarely necessary.
