Let us begin:

1) Defendants operated an undisclosed Insider Trading Desk managed by Gregory Dwyer with at least three key employees, including Stuart Elkington and Nick Andrianov.

@majinsayan This desk operated to continuously manipulate markets on the BitMEX platform and cause artificial prices for BitMEX derivatives, including derivatives of
Bitcoin and Ethereum
@majinsayan The operators of the Insider Trading Desk had what BitMEX internally referred to as “God Access” that allowed them to see all of the information of all trader accounts, including any hidden orders and the liquidation points for all orders and open positions.
@majinsayan They were also provided with automated systems, built by BitMEX, leveraging this highly sensitive insider information to enable their manipulation that told them how the market was likely to move by assessing the impact of the hidden orders and liquidations, when they triggered.
@majinsayan Thus, based on the sensitive insider information of BitMEX traders, the automated system was able to predict a potential profit for BitMEX from liquidating its traders, triggered by a potential manipulation.
@majinsayan The traders at the Insider Trading Desk had tools that showed them which
liquidations would occur across the entirety of BitMEX’s platform if prices moved in any
given direction, which was used to predict profitability of potential liquidations.
@majinsayan Once predetermined predicted profitability was met, the manipulative trades were automatically executed by the BitMEX automated systems, resulting in trader
liquidations.
@majinsayan To prevent the conditions of the order book from changing between the profitability prediction time and actual liquidation time, BitMEX froze its servers
@majinsayan preventing traders from closing or changing their positions or placing new orders that could interfere with the manipulation, so that BitMEX would get the exact profit that was predicted

I just finished Eric Adler's The Battle of the Classics, and wanted to say something about Joel Christiansen's review linked below. I am not sure what motivates the review (I speculate a bit below), but it gives a very misleading impression of the book. 1/x


The meat of the criticism is that the history Adler gives is insufficiently critical. Adler describes a few figures who had a great influence on how the modern US university was formed. It's certainly critical: it focuses on the social Darwinism of these figures. 2/x

Other insinuations and suggestions in the review seem wildly off the mark, distorted, or inappropriate-- for example, that the book is clickbaity (it is scholarly) or conservative (hardly) or connected to the events at the Capitol (give me a break). 3/x

The core question: in what sense is classics inherently racist? Classics is old. On Adler's account, it begins in ancient Rome and is revived in the Renaissance. Slavery (Christiansen's primary concern) is also very old. Let's say classics is an education for slaveowners. 4/x

It's worth remembering that literacy itself is elite throughout most of this history. Literacy is, then, also the education of slaveowners. We can honor oral and musical traditions without denying that literacy is, generally, good. 5/x
This is NONSENSE. The people who take photos with their books on instagram are known to be voracious readers who graciously take time to review books and recommend them to their followers. Part of their medium is to take elaborate, beautiful photos of books. Die mad, Guardian.
