The WSJ on the other hand…

The question I keep pointing at though is, why does it matter? These are not retail traders. They’re institutions that are considered experts in their field and hold no customer deposits (aside from accredited investors, who are again considered knowledgeable enough to not need government oversight to invest).

Everyone here ostensibly knows the risks and their crash won’t tank i.e. the housing market or pension funds.

It seems reasonable to at least set the lower bound above Deutsche Bank who are frequently in the spotlight for AML and terrorist financing for amounts far greater than $600 and operating today.

There are two weird things here. The first is that the CFTC does have purvue to protect the American people. However, if Binance were to simply say “we now accept US citizens” — the trading cited here would be allowed. Market makers are accredited investors.

It’s rather because they offer services to investors who are not US based which, if they were offered to US investors, would only be allowed to be offered to Accredited Investors — Binance has chosen to not offer services in the US, and allowed Accredited Investors (the same group who would be permitted if they did operate in the US).

The case is interesting. Even though these traders were operating significant portions of their business from the US, the claim will be made that they were acting as their international subsidiary.

Would the SEC claim that she was not good enough friends with the people who told her that to call them friends?

I’m not sure what you mean by this, but it’s incorrect. Sensitive USG information is not processed on Amazon’s commercial offering.

I think this is what you’re referring to.

When you really ask yourself what workload you’re doing on an iPad that requires anything more than an A16 is … I think you’ll find there isn’t much. You’re limited to iPad apps. You can’t even install a browser that isn’t a safari skin. Multitasking is horrible. The mouse/touch interface has weird janky things (like text selection).

You don’t have an escape key or a function row, so even many web apps are broken.

The iPad pro is about the same price as an M2 Macbook Air, and significantly more expensive than an M1 Macbook Air. While the hardware looks comparable, the software makes the hardware more or less useless.

The apple pencil difference is magnetic charging and magnetic storage on the side of the ipad. Which is nice, but it also means you have the camera in the absolutely most annoying spot in the world. Good luck using faceID while you’re browsing and you’re always going to have the worst angle/look like you’re staring into space during video calls.

iPadOS just doesn’t cut it for multi-tasking/any pro workload that would justify an M2 chip
