What an amazing story to where you are today. Good luck!

BTW: IBKR stands for Interactive Brokers, I haven't seen them use International in their name.

The issue is not refrigeration, but how you got to there: how is the hot rice cooled before putting it in the fridge.

I imagine not everyone has a blast chiller at home. Does one leave it to cool off naturally, and in what kind of container? Perhaps overnight?

During this process, the rice can take hours to go from 90°C to room temp, and it is during this process that the toxins are created. It might be too late when you put it in the fridge.

Cooling off needs ro be done as quickly as possible by spreading the rice, for instance.

It is not necessarily the lack of basic understanding of biology that causes people to get sick and therefore many to throw away good rice, but the incomplete understanding of the cooking process.

When you get a box of cold rice, there is no way of smelling how it has been cooled and if it is toxic or not.

The problem is with cooked rice that hasn't been cooled off properly (or not kept hot enough). The heat-resistant spores of the Bacillus Cereus will then develop and the bacteria will proliferate and produce a heat-resistant toxin, which can hurt you even after reheating the leftover rice.

You need to keep your rice cold (<7 °C) or hot (>63 °C) enough for the spores not to develop. Letting your rice cool off naturally in a pot is also leaving it at the wrong temperatures for a longer time than if you rapidly cool it off.

I find "Programmers are also human" quite funny as well. Interviews with stereotypes.

Buy low, sell high.

Rick Beato also made a video about this, using some examples.

You could even hang some servers underneath your LACK, aka the LackRack [0]

Bring and monitor your mobile temporal logging apparatus.

The glitch caused it, but it was the way the UK Post Office handled it that ruined lives.

Maybe you will find the proof that the infinite series 0.9999... exactly equals 1 interesting:

I read that exchanges inflate these numbers in different ways, so it can be very misleading.

Apparently sometimes this goes very wrong [0].

They should add one more map: of their website.

And legal conequences for the board members.

I remember the game Double Dragon on DOS where you could play co-op using one keyboard. Less impressive with just a few buttons used, but a lot of fun.

Banks have been trying to reduce their balance sheets and their risk-weighted assets, because of all the extra charges and reserves they need to keep. They cannot just get rid of a large of their customers like that and collapsing shareprice.

In some businesses there is also a benefit in scale (like in trading), and there you see the US banks leading because they've had it.

If you want the US banks to fully take over IB and corporate banking, definitely do tax the EU banks painfully more.

Or tax every financial counterpart painfully more, so then eventually the customers pay much more for their loans because the financial system has become so expensive.

By the way, KFC fries in high-pressure fryers. Not sure I can tell the difference.

The amounts of energy injected are not that large. 1TeV, the order of magnitude, is (according to google) the motion energy of a flying mosquito. You don't even feel that landing on your body.

The special part is that this energy is put into one particle, which makes it able to achieve other interactions.

Such particles sound scary, but the only special thing about this is that we, humans, have produced that. Our earth is bombarded constantly by cosmic high-energy particles of much much higher energy [0]. I am talking about extra-galactic particles with energy levels unknown to earth.

Don't you think the Swiss and French governments wouldn't have thought about safety almost 70 years ago?

Safety is an important part of the collaboration, which is evident when you work there.

This is evaluated by people who understand physics, chemistry, and biology, and it is the alternative science people that tend to not want to believe that and keep warning of dangers that don't exist.

It is good to always remain critical, but after a while you've used up all arguments to explain that the radiation in your microwave is not radioactive.

I guess the scary part is that they called it a leak instead of a hole. I am sure if I say there is a leak in my sock that some will start to worry.

Dividend paying stock has no limitations on growth compared to non div-paying stock. However when (cash) div-paying stock goes ex div, the stock price drops with that amount.

(Even reporters sometimes forget about that and try to find reasons what news caused a stock to drop instantly.)

Water and ice versions exist, IceCube consists of detectors dug into ice and Super Kamiokande (example) is a big container of ultrapure water (not heavy). Hyper Kamiokande will be even bigger.

I don't think this was meant as true, hence the quotes. But I can imagine that quite some retail/non-expert customers could use this kind of reasoning to estimate odds and risks.

Well, I think Gillette's purpose was also very much in your face.

Hope, a very human thing to have.

In that same style you could also wonder why anyone would bother sending help at all, given that they very likely had perished. We hope until we are proven wrong, and the times we are right makes all the effort worth.

Is that the case where the cops tried suing him from showing the home footage in his videoclip, claiming breach of privacy?

A teacher thought he figured it out and asked ChatGPT if it wrote the text that his students handed in. ChatGPT said yes for every piece of work, so he failed the whole class.

Apparently it didn't write it. Turns out ChatGPT thinks it wrote a lot of other things like the email that the teacher wrote to the class to sack them, when one of the students asked ChatGPT as proof of fiction. Not sure how it finally ended.

He has cred, but I also felt that this was from someone outside the finance industry because we have seen this all before.

After the FX scandals with the 'Cartel' chatroom, the libor scandals, we've seen compliance digging through all your Bloomberg chats and mails to find just about anything that sounds dodgy.

Crypto is new to this game, the other players have seen it before.
