The California AG in particular wouldn't pass up any opportunity to get his name and accomplishments in the press. I get a weekly newsletter from him extolling his recent successes.


Upvoted for speaking your truth.


It's actually quite enjoyable to just tell tall tales on the Internet.


I got banned from /r/LateStageCapitalism for stating that we shouldn't be ripping on people for having a Coexist bumper sticker. OP getting their post rejected there doesn't surprise me in the least.


I used to write tests for a cryptocurrency trading platform. I regularly talked to the auditors, as they were the ones who made sure that the crypto we transferred into external wallets made it back into internal wallets after the test.

I wouldn't say that I knew a bunch of accounting practices from talking to them, but I _did_ learn that the CTO and director of QA both lied to me during my interview. Sure, we made _some_ money from the spread as claimed in my interview, but in truth, the bulk of our money came from loaning our customer deposits to 3 Arrows Capital. I knew we were fucked _months_ before the company suddenly went under.


Yup. Engineers do have visibility into fintech systems that they implement, maybe even more so than the bean counters since they can trace exactly which txns went where. These things are logged.


The transactions are logged but access is also logged and restricted. Messing around in a financial dataset and associating actual names with ids without a document reason is a good way to get fired at any reasonably-sized company.

What's the right way to ask, "is my manager or supervisor taking Adderall?" I need a manager that can listen for two minutes, not one that's on a drug that compels them to speak in ten minute long stream of consciousness rants.


The advantage of betting on a horse is that the next race is in 10 minutes. You buy a call on the price of MSFT, for example, and you're going to be waiting a while before you can place another bet.

And there are notoriously betting groups around the world that have made fortunes off of betting on horse racing. I'd bet that they feel superior to people betting on commodities and productive assets when they could be betting on horses.


So, how could one manipulate differences of opinion in order to turn a profit on a site like Kalshi?


> IDK if the left is as tied up in it as the right

Democrats dominate the legislature in California, and they are deep in the pocket of Indian gaming.


Concern trolls will ask who's going to pay for the free buses, and wonder if they'll be overrun by the homeless or other vilified residents of New York.


Yeah it's not like homeless people pay for the bus, whether there it's free or not.
