It can if you use a cargo workspace to build all of your projects.

Nix is nice as a catch-all, and especially good when languages like C and C++ don't have popular package managers. It's definitely not better than cargo or pip when dealing with just Rust or Python, but it's definitely releva

With this stack, do you ever run binaries outside of the containers? Do you need to use the nix command line very much? I agree that nix is somewhat painful to deal with, but Bazel essentially has no package management story at all. It wou

It's striking how heavy the WORKSPACE is compared to everything else.

Then you would also need to include the potentially much worse outcome of paying taxes on the equity and having it later become worthless.

It looks like the prevailing explanation is that DTCC increased collateral requirements and some brokers couldn't handle that. https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-01-29/reddit...

This is not true, Citadel is the largest market maker and is in fact TDA's largest broker. This is abundantly clear in 606 disclosures. TDA: https://www.tdameritrade.com/retail-en_us/resources/606_disc... fr

They are not allowed to use it for very much at all, but Citadel has regularly been fined for breaking rules.

It's worth pointing out that the HFT pays robinhood $.02 to receive the order, and then may or may not fill the order at <= $10. These are separate happenings, and robinhood does not ever receive part of the variable price improve

Citadel should not be able to prevent Robinhood from trading $GME. Robinhood routes trades to many other counterparties, detailed here: https://cdn.robinhood.com/assets/robinhood/legal/RHS%20SEC%2... from ht

All retail brokerages sell order flow to the wholesale brokerages, it is part of the market structure. Rule 606 disclosures enumerate each brokerage's arrangement: eg. https://cdn.robinhood.com/assets/robinhood&#x2

Short interest being above 100% does not require naked shorting. Edit: A better example @ https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2021-01-25/the-ga...

A long halt would be bad for shorts, since they would be stuck paying the 125% annualized borrow for the duration of the halt. And practically a halt doesn't _really_ affect the prices.

I imagine the paternalism argument would be something like "currently GME is part of a ponzi scheme, and you would be defrauded by making this purchase".

Not everyone does everything the best possible way. Almost all people will immediately balk at the idea of using leverage in investing, despite the higher backward-looking risk adjusted returns. This is especially true when it might be stat

Retail orders generally trade with against market makers off-exchange, between the quoted market price. If the quote is Buy @ $1.00 x Sell @ $1.01, a retail order would be able to buy at a price like $1.0099. That $.0001 savings is known as

Is there demand for this? Most real complaints about git are around scalability of giant monorepos, and a lot of work has gone into various solutions. The secondary complaints about usability seem to be papered over by popularity, and of co

Surely nixpkgs is a better choice for c and cross-language dependency management at this point. As long as you're not on windows.

What makes you think Google is using bazel for rust? I haven't seen or heard any evidence of this.

by wocram 6y ago
Bazel is generally much more useful when it can manage the entire build. https://github.com/bazelbuild/rules_rust implements this logic for rust. It calls rustc directly, without cargo for the build, and interacts with

Why do you think this is true? $PUTW is an ETF that implements the strategy and it has not done well in recent years.

I agree with your point, but your numbers don't accurately reflect total-return (ie. include dividends).

But not for options trading, which is the main allure.

I would argue that it is worse for a retail brokerage to be down for a day than it is for a trading firm to blow themselves up, though I suppose the latter was more about creating a disorderly market.

You could if you wanted to, though for whatever reason people are much more comfortable with leveraging 5x to purchase a home than they are with leveraging 5x to invest in a brokerage account.

If you know the market is going to move in either direction, you can get at least 20x leverage to SPX using futures. You could get substantially more leverage using options, but that is more sensitive to knowing how large and fast the react
