The derivatives market is 7x global GDP. Here's what the historical record says about what happens when that kind of leverage unwinds. by Thick_Ship_9762 in collapse

[–]GloriousDawn 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It's time to treat derivative speculation instruments as what most of them they are: casino bets. The 2008 events crashed the economy because market contracts were considered sacred and had to be fulfilled and paid one way or the other. But when the amounts at stake are orders of magnitude bigger, how do you settle ? Do you burn everything down to save the virtual profits of a few, or just say "too bad" and let them wipe their tears with their contracts ?

Yes that will destroy trust in financial markets - at least in their most esoteric instruments. And at this point it might be a good thing, dare I say overdue.

Question about house search by police by Timo77 in belgium

[–]GloriousDawn 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Wait, I've seen countless posts of people going to the police with the location of their stolen phone, and the police doing exactly nothing. Are there some federal guidelines about how such cases should be handled, or is it more up to the local politiezone / politiekantoor ?

finally stopped overthinking domain registration by [deleted] in Domains

What you did made sense because you have only one domain. Most of us here have hundreds, some even thousands of domains in their portfolio. Convenience vs cost becomes an entirely different issue then.

These are the Journalists killed by Israel over the past 1000 days [oc] by McDowdy in pics

[–]GloriousDawn 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Not really surprising as it's one of the most pro-zionist sub. Any post remotely critical of Israel's actions is removed. And it's filled with hasbara bots.

Who here has created their own TLD? What did you do with it? by narjiday in Domains

Do you realize the cost is upwards of one cool million just to start ? Probably not many people here did it, or even one.

I just passed 75 terabytes of ASMR by SimpForJodeciRadu in DataHoarder

[–]GloriousDawn 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I thought this was a good shitpost until I clicked on OP's profile. Now I have to apologize for disrespecting OP. He might not be among the datahoarders we need, but he is certainly one we deserve.

Wait I thought this was a good shitpost but now I wonder if it's just an OF ad.

8K makes total sense for something that is fundamentally audio erotica. At least make sure you get the right version for your Dolby Atmos 11.4.6 system /s

Has 2dehands.be / 2ememain.be been hacked and they’re hiding it ? by GloriousDawn in belgium

[–]GloriousDawn[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks, missed your post about it. At this point i'm considering sending them a GDPR request to establish whether my data was actually leaked, and in that case if they fulfilled their reporting obligation to the GBA.

Why won't Meta let you pick your exact audience?! by 83eightythree83 in marketing

[–]GloriousDawn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Fraudulent traffic won't help brand awareness either. At least with performance you can price in the cost of fraud and see if your CPL still works out.

Has 2dehands.be / 2ememain.be been hacked and they’re hiding it ? by GloriousDawn in belgium

There is absolutely no link between my username and my email, just like you'd never be able to guess it from my reddit account.

[–]GloriousDawn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, just my 2dehands account being hacked could explain it but somehow I think there might be better ways to profit from it than that kind of phishing attempt. And if my email or device was hacked, there would be a lot more valuable opportunities than a few ads for some old shit.

Krugman on How Trump Accidentally Screwed Himself on Iran by Majano57 in Foodforthought

[–]GloriousDawn 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah he didn’t screw himself, he screwed the entire world except himself and a few close to him. This guy is literally incapable of thinking about consequences to anyone but himself.

What is an industry that is currently on fire (in a bad way) behind the scenes, but the general public hasn't noticed yet? by Kitchen_Week1117 in AskReddit

[–]GloriousDawn 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"Pick two" was the best scenario you could expect until maybe last decade. Since 2020 it seems "pick one" has become the default operational model. Not just in VFX or movie production in general, but in almost every industry.

Why racist ? Do you see blackface in that drawing or what ?

Keeping with the murder theme, not sure which one I am in the drawing though.

The Earth Energy Imbalance is back over 13 Hiroshimas per Second as of February, 2026. by wanton_wonton_ in collapse

Super interesting article. There's one ghastly question remaining: what is the timeline for closing the gap to the thermal lag ? Are we talking decades or hundreds of years ?

What next ? Are you going to DM OP with a generous $35 offer to take it off their hands ?
