Technology@lemmy.zip•Traders Say ‘Insane’ Tech Is Making FX Markets SleepierEnglish
2·5 months agoMarket maker is a regulatory designation where a financial institution has to provide liquidity, which sometimes means taking on trades you wouldn’t otherwise. It’s not as glamorous as it sounds, especially in FX markets where profit margins have been nanometer-thin for ages.
The thing about internet is that anybody can do the hosting and they do not have to operate with same ethical standards as we do.
The whole point of using hashes here is to not store images.
Suggestion: in case of breaking API changes maintain old endpoints for a bit? This caught me off guard as a Voyager user this morning because versioning suggests that Piefed is stable (1.x) and that this was a minor release (x.0 -> x.2), yet it broke down completely.
I read Feddit.nu rules and couldn’t understand a word but we have credible intel that it’s just a cover for developing weapons of mass surströmming.

Technology@lemmy.zip•Welcome to the new world of risk: Microsoft cuts off services to energy company without noticeEnglish
71·7 months agoNayara Energy Limited is an entity established in India and operating an important refinery in Vadinar. That refinery is 49% owned by the Russian State oil company Rosneft, and is a major refiner of Russian crude oil. The energy sector, in particular the oil sector, is a sector providing substantial revenue to the Russian Government.
Therefore, Nayara Energy is involved in an economic sector providing a substantial source of revenue to the Government of the Russian Federation, which is responsible for the annexation of Crimea and the destabilisation of Ukraine.
Microsoft doing the right thing here. If you don’t want to worry about consequences of sanctions don’t use services from companies subject to jurisdiction of countries that sanction you.

Technology@piefed.social•Children Getting Smartphones Before 13 Have Skyrocketing Suicide Risk
2·7 months agoStudy recognises very strong correlation between poor family relations and poor mental health outcomes but doesn’t really attempt to separate it from smart device ownership. I’d be interested in seeing difference in outcome for a group affected by other potential causes and smart device ownership before jumping to conclusions like in the title of the post.

7·7 months agoThere is no causal link shown, just correlation. It could be absent parents who use gadgets to occupy their children that are causing this as well.

Fediverse@lemmy.world•Just received an email from feddit.online saying they've geoblocked UK IPs due to the Online Safety ActEnglish
21·7 months agoSaudi Arabia has plenty of soft and hard power too. Possibly more so than UK. I think we’re getting overly dramatic. UK doesn’t have enough pull to start extraditing thousands of people for not complying with their weirdo laws.

25·7 months agoHow would that even work in another country? Wouldn’t Saudi Arabia pressure hosts for breaking blasphemy laws?

123·7 months agoI’m confused, why are non-UK instances banning UK users? Are their admins located in the UK? Is anyone afraid of being extradited to UK because of their local laws? Do you block Saudi Arabia too because you can’t guarantee blasphemy laws are going to be upholded?

Television@piefed.social•‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’ English-Language Adaptation In Works At Netflix From Leila Gerstein & Jerry Bruckheimer TV
4·7 months agoThe issue with current autistic leads in series like Good Doctor or Extraordinary Attorney Woo is that they are almost level 3 (aka profound autism) while also being savants which doesn’t really represent much of autistic people (and savants are even less). I don’t want to marginalise those people but they’re quite overrepresented in media about autism while also being less than 10% of all autistic people and that leads to regular people being really confused as to what autism is.
I think this is what’s behind something that’s almost a meme by now among autistic people - when you tell someone you’re autistic without flapping your hands and without difficulty in stringing a coherent sentence you’re going to be replied with „but you don’t look autistic”. This also leads to many people going undiagnosed and without support, sometimes for their entire lives.

Television@piefed.social•‘Extraordinary Attorney Woo’ English-Language Adaptation In Works At Netflix From Leila Gerstein & Jerry Bruckheimer TV
5·7 months agoThe show is quite fun even if uneven but it suffers from the usual autism being off the charts on stereotypical traits without any nuance. I wonder if we’ll ever see an accurate representation of autism on TV, other than The Rehearsal, that is.
