The systemic-risk debate over perpetual futures is aimed at the wrong target

As perpetuals enter regulated markets, critics warn they import systemic risk. But the risk comes from venue design — leverage limits, margin rules, index construction, and default handling — not the contract itself, argues Chris Tyrer, President of Bullish Exchange. Read more

Это один из немногих крупных издателей, под эгидой которого выходят крайне увлекательные приключения со свежими идеями в геймдизайне. Однако, кроме эксклюзивов, на Nintendo Switch есть и множество качественных портов, особенно — инди-игр.Специально. Read more

Что в работе аналитика поменялось за пять лет, а что только в вакансиях

Открываешь вакансию аналитика в 2026 и видишь ML, LLM, дата-инженерию, облака и пятнадцать инструментов, а SQL с Excel где-то внизу, будто это само собой. Кажется, что профессия ушла далеко вперёд и, если ты только вкатываешься, ты опоздал на пять лет. Я в аналитике с 2020 года и вижу оба конца отрезка: и с чего начинала сама, и с чем приходит новый поток. Так вот, если смотреть не на список требований,... Read more
