  1. RT @cshirky RT @wikileaks WikiLeaks to release over half a million 9/11 intercepts http://911.wikileaks.org/
  2. @interfluidity Likewise.
  3. @interfluidity Bank = risk-free lending. I thought you wanted people to take more risks with their lending? More limited banks would help.
  4. @interfluidity FDIC has (big!) flaws, but it's better than what we had before.
  5. @interfluidity Our solution for 1929 bank runs (FDIC) is guaranteed bailouts of creditors, who we hope to make less reckless w/bank regultn.
  6. @interfluidity His (vague) alternative policy isn't -credible-. We can't threaten to stick to it in the middle of a bank run, bc we won't.
  7. @interfluidity The cost to society of NOT bailing out AIG/moneymarkets/etc would have been in the many trillions.
  8. @interfluidity Our captured politicians/regulators have even less hope of making the threat credible.
  9. @interfluidity Wasn't LEH an attempt to toughen? It's clear that, as a society, we can't credibly threaten to let TBTF institutions fail.
  10. @interfluidity Every market is man-made, none are "natural". (You have an old post on what contracts our courts choose to honor/enforce.)
  11. @interfluidity I'm cynical abt disc spvsn too, but hopeful abt changing incentives on politicians/regulators (eg, Lessig's Change Congress)
  12. @interfluidity "" is my take on what he's saying. I say 1929 bc it sounds like he wants runs on [shadow] banks, eg, let LEH/AIG/FNM/FRE fail
  13. @interfluidity Huh? "Flawed regulation doesn't work, so lets give up on regulation entirely." How is this not a return to 1929?
  14. @kpich I think @dcbriccetti (who writes a Twitter client) sees these a lot. I believe he's implemented retry logic for his API calls.
  15. @eishay Mine calls services remotely, but it doesn't run on remote services.
  16. RT @gracelessblog: Add A Remote In-Process REPL to your Scala Project http://bit.ly/84O5QO
  17. @djspiewak After seeing how the sausage is made, I'm amazed they work at all.
  18. @ekabanov Mine starting shooting sparks once. Wasn't pretty.
  19. Number of WTFs/min reaching critical levels.
  20. @djspiewak It wouldn't fit in the tweet, but yes :)
