In addition to the other comments about the creation of highly perverse incentives, options trading is intriniscally zero-sum.

When a politician makes a positive return on selling their contract(s), another person loses and their wealth is transferred to the politician.

I believe this is an Arkose Labs captcha for anyone wondering.

We are at a point where the gap between the capability of the most advanced vision models and the capability of even the slowest neurotypical person to solve a captcha in a reasonable amount of time is very small.

I recently encountered a dart board addition puzzle which was shockingly confusing and took me about 30 seconds to a minute to solve.

I think the metric is only supposed to represent the absolute maximum possible users. Otherwise one could also say that many people only use their PlayStations to play FPS’s or that a large portion of Switch users are children that wouldn’t purchase Skyrim etc etc.

Apple Unveils M2 4 years ago

That's the case for the M1 Pro and M1 Ultra. The regular M1 only supports a single external display.

A Twitter announcement for Crypto support would absolutely not be enough to pump the market. The wider sell off in crypto is due to a sell off in all markets due to a number of factors such as increasing rates. This is not some minor slump that will end with a Musk tweet.

Incorrect. UST is also supported by LFG Bitcoin reserves intended to defend the peg, so the term "backed up" is entirely appropriate.

I think (1) is a bit harsh relating to the terminology. Technically front running is based on plainly “non-public” information. The term has been generalised and expanded to include crypto transactions which are slightly more obfuscated from the average user who doesn’t sit and watch the mempool. I think the term is completely appropriate.

A point I commonly hear made from both Tesla and Comma.ai for example is that Lidar is far too expensive with Waymo's vehicle costing a total of $200,000 and that cameras alone are sufficient for full self driving. I do think that cameras alone are probably sufficient for full self-driving but every time I hear this point I think to myself that self driving progress is moving so slowly on the camera-only front that Lidar might become so affordable by the time camera-only makes substantial progress that by that point it was much more efficient to just have been developing with Lidar from the start. Am I missing something or just completely wrong? I would really appreciate any insight on this.

Almost exactly what I was going to say. Nothing of interest here, gambler gambles with the most effective gambling vehicle of this generation.
