    Do you have a guess as to what percentage of all volume is driven by hedging by options market makers?

    It's just a numbers game, there's more Dems here (probably 4:1 given the industry demographic) and so you lose the popularity contest on a topic like this which stokes tribal senti…

    Exactly, and no Dem ever gets deplatformed for these incessant lies that lead to violence and death. Shows you it's all an excuse to purge Republicans (liars though they may be)

    Wouldn't people have said the same thing about Hitler after the failed Beer Hall Putsch? I think Trump's allure is going to mostly survive this event, he will figure out a way to b…

    I believe there's also a neurological basis as well. It's been shown that belief in superstition is predicted by dopamime levels in the brain. Likely same for conspiracy theory bel…

    The person you responded to is largely correct, despite your aggressive tone. While AWS will act on anything that's reported, they are well known to do absolutely nothing in additi…

    Nobody is arguing that these platforms don't have a legal right to do what they've done. The only debate is about what they ought to do, and whether the laws should be changed as a…

    Nonsense. A former Democratic staffer employed by Facebook censored the breaking news story about Hunter Biden's laptop on the eve of the election which we now know to be factually…

    Flying on 9/11/2001 was "mostly safe" because less than 96% of flights were hijacked. Also a true statement, but ridiculous. The BLM riots resulted in 19 dead, and thousands of pro…

    There's many bitcoin derivative exchanges which allow you to short, in addition to the CME's contract. Bitmex, Huobi, etc.

    The upside of your proposal is that it'll create a very strong disincentive for this kind of behavior. But if we really can't attribute blame to specific individuals, your proposal…

    It is absolutely not a fallacy, as Naval Ravikant points out, given the large numbers of slippery slopes that have played out in the historical record. I have no idea why the belie…

    TSLA has a P/E ratio of 1500. Even though they're a growth stock it's a generous valuation to say the least. The stock price has been driven up by (1) a lot of retail investors loa…
