Edit: After reviewing the post below and others that have been made I see truth became irrelevant long ago.
I found that book amusing some years ago but have lost my copy. Wonder what they’d make of the current market conditions..
At least there are still quotes around “personal Pokemon consultant”.
Edit: Downvote all you want. That all brokers (well, not all, depending on your account) sell your flow to Citadel et el is well discussed, and RH has an even better client base to ‘sell out’...
The point I’m making is that for some users they don’t really care it it currently ‘works well enough’ for whatever they’re doing.
Not arguing with your post, as you mention prosecution not prevention; I agree. Ultimately, we'll be trading more liberty for 'security' I imagine.
I also suspect the decision makers don’t really want asset prices to go to shit, so better for them to issue more debt and let the next generation deal with it.
It just doesn’t work like that.
Out of curiosity, are you looking for any python dev's or people more familiar with Go?
Lots of retail getting taken out this morning
Is it that it's off-topic?
Edit: It seems every post remaining on this story has been flagged. I imagine it's 'off-topic' but curious why other off-topic stuff hasn't warranted such a strong reaction?
Of course, one could argue that if you choose to not consume those things, you can harvest the benefit of having information and fluid communication at your fingertips. The reality is that in the aggregate, we likely waste more time on the things like browsing <insert_favorite_site_here>.
This could have been phrased so many different ways, and its tricky to point out what exactly is wrong with it all..but I believe soon we'll be at a sort of short/medium term high-point with this sort of behavior, and people will start embracing more natural interactions, etc..
I also think much of this has to do with economics/markets. For the past decade theres been a massive run up in capital and with low yields it's been invested in about every scheme imaginable. Large companies like Lyft lose a lot of money and investors apparently haven't had enough yet...
In 2009 this would not have worked. Next time we have a recession, it will 'slow down' a lot of investment and in that sort of market it will be hard to continuously lose money; and this is where it gets a bit vague (if it hasn't already) but I feel that society needs that slow-down, since these days there's constant hype of this new service, app, way of doing things, etc..
