    The Chapwood Index

    Hard to take a guy seriously who claims his made up index containing the price of piano lessons and People magazine, to name two of what he apparently thinks are his top 20 representative items of cost of living, is more up to date and representative then the CPI with it's very transparently...

    President Trump's Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship

    It occurs to me that we're seeing effectively a real life version of the The Colbert Report playing out in our country and right here on this thread. For those of you who never watched it, Colbert plays a conservative pundit who takes ever more extreme conservative positions which end up...

    Taleb vs Assness on tail hedging and risk parity

    BS is "inefficient"? What does that even mean? It takes too long for you to run the formula? There's a faster formula that does the same thing? It takes part of the option value in exchange for being calculated? I think perhaps the word "efficient" doesn't mean what you think it means.

    President Trump's Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship

    And yet you have yet to address any of the issues I raised with your posts. Projection is such an obvious thing with you, I've seldom seen it so obvious and the person doing it so oblivious.

    President Trump's Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship

    So I'm not clear here, are you or aren't you appalled by Trump's tweet falsely questioning the integrity of our voting system? And are you for restricting the ability of a private company to correctly point out when the President lies or do you think that kind of restriction goes against...

    President Trump's Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship

    I'm not a fan of Biden, never posted anything in support of him. Even if I was, if he claimed without a shred of evidence that a state "is sending Ballots to millions of people, anyone living in the state, no matter who they are or how they got there, will get one.” 4 months before the election...

    President Trump's Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship

    The "monopoly" of Twitter, Facebook, Snapchat, YouTube and the dozen other prominent social media platforms is what you're concerned about? You seriously need to look up the word monopoly. Is English your first language? It's a pretty chicken-shit thing to parrot a position, claim you didn't...

    President Trump's Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship

    You say you agree but then go on to almost purposely miss the point. Free speech in the context of the constitution and our democracy ONLY means that the government can't interfere with speech. At the point you start to talk about moderation or platforms you're talking about private enterprise...

    President Trump's Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship

    Except "freedom of speech online" is a made-up concept that not only doesn't exist in our constitution but is expressly prohibited by it. Let me just quote the first amendment here to make it clear: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free...

    President Trump's Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship

    Pinochet made Chile much more prosperous than it was before his brutal dictatorship. Stalin won a major war and brought Russia from a country of desperately poor peasants to one of two superpowers. This belief that Trump can do no evil as long as he's accomplishing "results", even if you truly...

    President Trump's Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship

    Guess who else prohibits private companies from pointing out when their leader lies? You guessed it, China! If you dislike China so much, why in the world are you advocating for us to be more like them in restricting freedoms? And why, why are you not as upset about the President of the United...

    President Trump's Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship

    So you're saying if 2 weeks ago Nancy Pelosi introduced legislation saying Twitter wasn't allowed to accurately point out something she tweeted was false it would have had your resounding approval and you would have been here defending her exactly the same as you're defending Trump? Again, your...

    OTC markets - Why IB dont send order to ECN if a stock have less than 2 market makers ?

    If it's over the counter then by definition it doesn't trade on an exchange. So how could it be subject to exchange rules?

    Age-friendly companies for older developers?

    I think there is a bit of a divide between the Google/Facebook/Microsoft world and the small tech company world. Most of my developers are over 40 for two reasons. First, the top 25 year olds "discriminate" against smaller companies like mine....they all want to be able to say they work for...

    President Trump's Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship

    So first off, Twitter is a private company. In a democracy, private companies have complete control over what they allow or don't allow to be published on their platform. But let's get to the crux of the matter. Trump told a blatant lie on Twitter. You're advocating that they, as a private...

    President Trump's Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship

    So I get that you don't like the Chinese government. Lot's of legitimate reasons for that. For example they don't let their private companies point out when their leaders are lying which of course is dictatorial and the antithesis of everything we as Americans both hold as important, right...

    President Trump's Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship

    The President if the United States falsely claiming that our election system is rigged is a "small puny thing" that "nobody cares about" and "doesn't even make a difference"? Again it's a pretty sad day when anyone becomes such an apologist that they could seriously believe that. Also, please...

    President Trump's Executive Order on Preventing Online Censorship

    You do understand that they didn't censor anything, they added a note correctly pointing out that the tweet contained falsehoods while leaving the post entirely intact. If we've reached the point where a significant portion of the population considers correctly pointing out that the President...
