I don't think the board is trying to rehire him though, more like being pressured to do so against their wishes.

When I was young I hated that my parents made me learn an instrument. As an adult I still hate that they did that, there is no value in it for me. There are parents that pursue their own interests through their kids (who often can't re

An alternative hypothesis is that it's done because it has always been done, and the fine motor skills thing is merely an attempt to rationalize this practice.

I skimmed both articles and they seem to be about anti-trust, which is orthogonal to the relevance-revenue conflict you described. Have I missed anything, or did you think a random unrelated fact proves your point somehow?

Heard a joke from a biologist: "if it's published in Nature, doesn't mean it's not true".

It has been peer reviewed - lots of scientists reviewed the paper, found various problems, some are trying to replicate it with varying success so far, some are looking for theoretical explanation. This is the essence of science, not sendin

This is the story of the Chernobyl disaster as well. There had been two similar accidents preceding it, in 1975 at the Leningrad NPP and in 1983 at the Ignalina NPP. Only after the second one the design flaws were well understood, but they

My favorite part is that MMT advocates (like the author) were arguing for years "we should borrow and spend like there is no tomorrow, deficits don't matter as long as inflation is low". And now when it's suddenly not lo

You missed the important part - they added the ability to borrow while valuing collateral at cost. Previously it had to be valued at market price, which was not sufficient for SVB (because it was insolvent on the mark-to-market basis).

Look, it's a meme, you're not supposed to take them seriously. The guy is an executive at SVB Securities, a separate branch that is completely fine.

Actually a lot of depositors would be happy with a narrow bank that takes no risk, just holds the money at the Fed. But the Fed decided it's too safe so narrow banking is essentially banned. Seems fair if they ensure safety of deposits

Everyone will now act as if all deposits are insured, because the authorities demonstrated that it's true. This in turn will make any other decision in the future even harder, it's kinda self fulfilling prophecy. Seriously, you&#x

Why bother? It seems all deposits are in fact insured regardless of what rules say.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but nowadays any (sufficiently large?) solvent bank can just borrow from the Fed and survive such a run.

I wonder how the first camp reconcile their views with the current struggle Italy has with their debt caused by excessive deficit spending in the past.

> C++ is performance first at any price. Hence UB. I don't think this is entirely correct, C++ in some cases famously preferred ABI compatibility over maximum performance.

I think that was always the main argument against MMT prescription "spend like there is no tomorrow if the inflation is low". Politicians and population love only this part and will ignore/fight the other one.

Putting the antitrust issue aside, it seems to me some people want the owners of the businesses to be similar to NFT owners. Some symbolic notion of possession with no rights. Comparing dividends with arson, seriously? It's more like m

You can short it if you think it definitely won't reproduce. Otherwise it's not clear why adding billions to the market cap is unwarranted.

So what? Real humans at the professional level are so much better than any casual player, it makes no difference in experience for the latter. You'll hopelessly lose every single time.
