The red line (2022 data) stops at July, and while it's hard to tell exactly it looks to me like the diamond line (not sure what to call that color) for 2012 is the lowest line between August and October.

Their point is untrusted code can still have private info (I don't want a random website to be able to steal my private key or my info like credit cards or password in other tabs), so you need a new core for each website, which is obvi

I saw someone mention PySnooper elsewhere in this thread, I think if I had known it existed before I probably wouldn't have bothered with `pyset_x`.

I started writing a very-alpha related tool, https://github.com/czinck/pyset_x . As the name implies, it's like `set -x` in bash, in that it prints every line as it executes. It's more useful for situations wh

Shorting is literally borrowing the stock and then reselling it, so a shorter is pretty analogous to someone renting and then immediately subletting an apartment (Yes, there's the rent/buy distinction, which is what leads to short

Not that it changes your point, but hacking Musk's account to tweet wrong info about TSLA would be fraud, not insider trading, since they're not actually an insider. Either way, OTM options is a dumb way to profit on fraud or insi

The problem is the essential workers don't actually have any leverage, because quitting your job doesn't let you file for unemployment (or makes it harder/reduced benefits). So the essential workers can only really demand a r

Part of the reason for the ridiculous corn subsidies is so if the whole rest of the world ends, the US will still have enough food. We'll have to stop eating some specific foods (like we export chicken dark meat to China and they send
