Dear god

When someone mixes % and percentage points it's a red flag in my mind:

For reference, when Sri Lanka issued USD bonds in 2022 they traded at a roughly 9% premium (very high risk). When Alibaba issued USD bonds in 2017 they traded at 1.08% above the rate (medium risk). When China issued bonds last week, however, they traded at only 0.007-0.029% above the rate (3Y/5Y)

If the base rate is 3%, 9% premium means a rate of 3.27% (3%*1.09). If he means that the rate is 9 percentage points higher, that would mean a rate of 12% (3%+9%) or 4x the base rate. Pretty big difference.

The Onion don't miss

One of my coworkers had to do part time jail for a DUI. He lost his driving privileges and had to serve his time on the weekends, but he got to keep his job.

If you can be banned for a bit, or for expressing reasonable dissent, why would we put effort into anything more than shitposting on this site?

Likewise if decisions are made on a whim from the admin/mod team, it is reasonable for the users to feel and act like they are just along for the ride.

Such a great show. I love the weird glam 70s looks

Robinhood stock trading app now offering election gambling seems a bit on the nose. Reuters

Usually polls start to close around 7pm local time, so you'll start seeing reports then

Thank you! Yeah the lack of show notes is rough. I thought for sure I could find a reference but I missed it if it was noted somewhere.
