So what pronoun should a non-binary person use?

I think you maybe have some misunderstandings around the practicalities limit orders and market microstructure (not withstand some theoretical model of risk free market-making, which has broadly been superseded, if you care about the theory

You can't garauntee your (bid/ask) resting orders are executed against in the same epsilonic time window, nor would you want to. No market making practioners would think in these terms.

> i.e. buying at the bid and selling at the offer. Really they _quote_ simultaneously the bid and offer (although there will be times when they do only one or neither). Saying they simultaneously buy/sell is wrong/confusing.

I checked, and you’re right, road deaths are (relatively speaking) low. Around 1500 per year in the UK. However injuries are incredibly high, >100,000 in the UK. I think if we consider QALYs instead of deaths then the calculus on importa

The ideas are far from complex enough to require people to suffer through the first book, just to get the necessary context. I think there's probably a decent short story to be extracted from the key idea in the second book.

Your argument is contradictory. If you trust 'each and every actor directly or indirectly involved in it' then by definition there can be no bad actor in the future to oppress you.

Getting rid of subsidies would be a very good start, and I suspect farmers in poor countires don't get subsidies.

If it’s as easy as you say to lose weight (and it must be very easy if, as you say, it’s easier than receiving a vaccine that a majority of US adults have received). Then tell me, why are so many people still obese?

An inverted yield curve has accurately predicted 9 out of the last 5 recessions ;) You can even see it on the chart in the linked article, in 2005/06 — that time, it was different.

Unless you pull the tesla trick of accepting payment in BTC but reserving the right to refund in either BTC or USD -- granting yourself a soft option on BTCUSD. Altough surely not worth the effort unless you have a lot of refund flow.
