   I'm specifically interested in the claim that they have spent hundreds of billions on call options.

   Fascinating! Do you have a source for this?

   Why is there a liquidity crisis?

   I agree. It's more of a sketch than a proof which is why it's so short.

   Here's the solution I thought of, which is pretty similar. Start with the case definition of min. Notice that min(a,b) <= a, min(a,b) <= b and min(a,b) in {a,b} Let d = min(a,min(b,c)) and e = min(min(a,b),c) Then d <= a, d &l

   NBA gets people seated in front of their TV's. I worry that this suspension means would be viewers go outside more.

   Colds make people more social I've heard, so doing that would be plausible.

   Sorry for going on a rant here, but I dislike the framing implicit in "spontaneous remission". Addiction does vanish spontaneously with a wave of a wand. These are people of flesh and blood and free will that managed to overcome t

   If by community you mean the US as a whole, yes. But there are many areas and smaller cities in which it has not arrived. Those could be helped. And if a smaller city is infected and then gets clean, they could be helped too. That's wh

    Same areas will be able to snuff it out with luck, social distancing and contact tracing. Stopping flights prevent them from being reinfected. But quarantining incoming travelers might achieve the same thing with fewer drawbacks.

    It's essentially using a sub-tick size price improvement (but paid to the broker to cover trading fees) to jump the queue at the market. It arguably undermines the existence of price ticks. I think you know this but for the lurkers, th

    Isn't what they do this: Broker gets order, sends it to their best buddy instead of normal market, buddy takes other side of order (at the same price as market would have given). The assumption being that someone who crosses the spread

    They may have had users with margin and/or option sellers whose positions they were unable to force close.

    From what I heard they weren't the only brokerage with an issue. Maybe they had the worst issues, but I think it's also that their customers are more vocal than others.

    Last time I checked all phones with lineageos support were made by Google, China or were like 5 years old. For this reason I never got it.

    Well the authorities haven't agreed with each other. And they have changed their tune over time. So no matter how you slice it they have been wrong.

    Ironically, a lot of the misinformation is coming from the authorities this time. And a lot of true information is coming out through gossip and back channels. China, being China, literally flagged and deplatformed the people giving early w

    Don't people have low level symptoms basically all the time? Like if you add up all the times your throat feels a little bit sore, or nose is a little bit stuffed or you cough a few times a day or you have a bit of a headache or you f

    In both cases it's because of stupid bureaucracy, seems pretty comparable to me.

    This happens even from just spontaneous mutations. The body has many copies of DNA and they are not in sync with each other. Your cells diverge from your twins' cells, but also from each other.

    Based on hazy recollections, isn't the big obstacle that normally bonds are traded in too large units to be convenient for an average person?

    I interpret it the opposite way. It signals that they aren't part of the mainstream conversation. That they don't know what is going on outside their doors. And that they are probably not aware of the last 30 years best practices.

    I think some "files" that are actually devices or pipes and stuff, for them the number of bytes in the file doesn't make sense, while bytes read does make sense. That may be why.

    In my experience a lot of slopes are slippery, and a lot of people who cry "slippery slope" are disingenuous; they know the slope is slippery and they want to slide down. As to why slopes are slippery, it may be that it's e

    That study has some non-standard numbers? More deaths (6 vs 7) and fewer cases (696 vs 634). Makes me suspicious.
