Do the trades "clear" in the same way that checks "clear"? In other words, is there literally no point in time when you can be 100% sure that the transaction won't be reversed on you like with checks?
She's simply weeding out the losers to find her soulmate.
That finding your soulmate stuff is bullshit. You find someone you get along with and then you both choose to make it work. It's only much later that you become "soulmates".
I doubt that's true even during normal hours, but it's certainly not true outside of them. Plus this wasn't even a market problem, but rather an information problem. The market prices were not affected.
it is the gold standard for 90% of the worlds business
It's the norm. It's not the "gold standard." That means something different. If it were the gold standard that would mean it was the clear best, the one that all others aspire to and are measured against.
if you were on a per-minute-charge cell plan and used the old three-ring call as a calling card so you didn't have to pay for a phone call if they weren't there - it would still be on their caller ID
This doesn't change that. The "ringing" you hear normally is not the same ringing as is actually happening. And in this case you are simply hearing music instead of the simulated ringing. Nothing changes on the other end.
You're kidding. They post naive slashdot comments on every story that's outside their field, all the while being certain that they have seen in five seconds what the "idiotic" researchers couldn't see in five years.
What is my point with all this? That it is really time for people to band together on creating non-commercially owned replacements for these universes.
Or, ya know, just forget about it and do something else.
If you're into playing chess and you're serious about the game (and improving yourself) this site is hands down the best there is/ever was/ever will be.
An argument can be made for chess24, though it's still young.
I wonder if the games total is so large because a significant number of them are not actually people playing but people using bots to play for analysis purposes.
No, they are real games by real people. I personally have a bit over 15,000 games played. At this moment (~1PM eastern time on a Tuesday afternoon) there 28,384 players online and 10,158 games currently in progress. The very large majority of those games are 5 minutes or less. Almost all of mine are 2/1 (two minutes per side with a one second increment after each move).
Also, it's not a bot-friendly site. There is no API, and no real point to hacking it when other sites are much more amenable to bot play. If they detect a computer-aided game (it's not difficult) the account is banned.

100% I don't know, but it's got to be high 99s.
Did they? There's little doubt, and even some sly statements, but did they actually admit it?
It's right over hear.

Perhaps he is not privy to your personal fantasy world where that's true. How do you not realize this?
I doubt that's true even during normal hours, but it's certainly not true outside of them. Plus this wasn't even a market problem, but rather an information problem. The market prices were not affected.
If that were actually true then RIM wouldn't have thought what Apple demonstrated that day was impossible and a lie.
Then why would they disguise it as ransomware? Sure, it could be, but you're weaving quite a tapestry there, which I think is the Martian's point.
In the same way that "paper" is something that can be written upon.
That was my guess. The lack of a footnote acknowledging the change is not good.

The word apocryphal is not in the article, nor is there an update notice. Did they silently change it?
You forgot the part about making Samsung pay for the wall. Believe me.
A "deal" can also be a price that's considered to be lower than the item's value.
This doesn't change that. The "ringing" you hear normally is not the same ringing as is actually happening. And in this case you are simply hearing music instead of the simulated ringing. Nothing changes on the other end.

I suppose they could, but all played games are preserved in their entirety. Not doing so would be considered a much bigger error in judgment.
Chess.com is a multi-million dollar business. It'd be more surprising if they didn't have a CEO.
Then why didn't he mention it? Sworn to secrecy?
I was once eaten by a GRU. I don't think it was carrying any milk though.
If infogalactic intends to be taken seriously they should move away from that "galactic" stuff.
It tastes good? The stuff to make it palatable perhaps, but not the alcohol.
