IANAL, but it strikes me as 100% illegal for Twitter to trade on their tweets before they are released (at least for the class of tweets which contain corporate announcements - tweets from e.g. the persident might be treated differently). S

First of all, for every buyer there's a seller, so for each person that lost money on Tesla, somebody made money (relative to the benchmark). Secondly, I don't know why you think only "day traders and algorithms" were af

Even if Python's way was the only sane way of doing it (view which, btw, denotes having narrow experience with programming languages), that's irrelevant. GP's point was that different languages use different rules so, unless

Are you suggesting the GP opened the page with the intention of hating it? If so, what makes you think that's the case?

IBM's Quantum Experience is great for this. It walks you through the quantum gates you can use and lets you write small programs for quantum processors. I've found that to be the clearest way of understanding what qcs do.

Since people are posting their opinions (although presenting them as facts), I would like to share mine: I actually like the new address bar. It makes it clear it's selected, it makes it larger, which improves readabilty and I find the
