Is this this something that can help with autism symptoms?

Too late... Putin is already all over this. No need for organ transplants :)

150 is the new 70

I hate to say this out loud but I keep going back to some particular episodes to help me nod off when insomnia grips. I'm not sure I know how the episode on the gold standard ends and I must have listened to it more than 10 timss.

That was the first episode i listened to and got hooked after that.

They don't have to stick the entire $80bn in one bank.

It is the lack of transparency around the CP that is raising eyebrows. Why can't Tether list the papers they are invested in? It is such a simple thing to do.

Could be all their CP holdings are in one company :)

Selling options is not riskless. They would be collecting pennies until there is a big market move and they are on the hook for dollars.

The 1% analog is redundancy in traditional currencies. Outside the developed economies a huge chuck of transactions is still done with physical cash.

I imagine it would be a lot more convenient to have some hard currency at hand when fleeing a conflict zone. One might need to bribe border guards at some remote location with unreliable (or non-existent) internet connection, to get to safety.

what happens when the telecomms infrastructure is hit and shuts down? or when there is no power?

I wouldn't say NFTs are money laundering - there are some interesting use cases. But the setup of NFT makes it easy for say a drug dealer to conduct business on the blockchain and launder earnings by selling "digital art" to his customers.

I use the lombok plugin with IntelliJ, it eliminates tedious parts of some code.

Some times one needs to create new objects return multiple related items from a function. Or use a collection or array. I think it is unnecessary. Other languages (e.g. go or python) have had this for a while now. I taking a wild guess here LISP probably had it since the 1970s.

I am thinking of something more like go language or python.

In go you can do this:

function (x, y int) (sum, prod int) { return x+y, x*y }

It makes a big difference when one is using the same input to generate multiple related outputs.

Something I would like to see in Java is for functions to return multiple (named?) values. I think it will reduce boiler plate code considerably.

CBOE has a market cap of $10 billion (on revenues of $3 billion) ICE has a market cap of $66 billion (on revenues of $8 billion)

Coinbase's market cap is going to be higher than both exchanges combined - while doing a fifth of the revenue.

Could an existing exchange like say ICE or CME jump into the fray to service institutional investors? They already have much of the infrastructure to handle much larger trading flows than Coinbase. Talent/tech required to compete could be aqui-hired
