According to a market participant "the T2S operator will attempt to failover to their recovery site".

Doesn't smell good...

Not by regulation, you need a specific “payment service provider” licence for that.

> As an aside, not sure if OP is related to them but updown.io is a nice service and I appreciate the simple PAYG pricing! For what it's worth their mails seem to get through successfully to me too.

Not related in any way except as an happy customer. They added a blog recently and this article caught my eye because of the nightmare that is mail delivery issue for everyone.

I found it particularly ironic that you now have to think like a spammer (i.e. look at spam detection engine source code to find a way to circumvent their heuristics) in order to get your totally valid email delivered (^_^).

There is also in the Bible the notion of a 50 years periodic Jubilee[1] when all debts would be canceled and the system effectively resets.

If only C# had a brother language that would expose a nice functional syntax while keeping full interop and the benefits on running on the CLR ;-)

Nice thought experiment though!

I think the article is about the SVB Securities subsidiary (an investment bank) spinning off itself with a management buy-out.

Sadly this is not about the main bank and will not save it.

Sort of ejection pod for investment bankers tied to the mothership and deciding it is time to separate…

France, #1 on TaxTech :-)

Check TIPS (Treasury Inflation Linked Securities)[0] for a way to stay liquid but still get inflation protection.

Be careful of not trying to catch the proverbial falling knife!

There is still a ton of air down below :-)

If you go in, do it gradually in small trades, don’t try to « time the market ».

More information and speculation on the link below (in French) - seems Free was the most impacted.

Over 80% of statistics posted in comments are made on the spot.

Recent example (for me): Atlassian monthly per-user pricing vs. annual bulk pricing (discontinuous).

When moving up a range it seems more economical to revert to monthly pricing than to go annual. (Btw: that sucks!)

Data Revolution is one of the brands used by a UK based recruitment agency named VMR Consultants. As a hiring manager they are the worst I ever encountered - sending template emails every day where only the candidate name would change. Looking at their Glassdoor profile they look like an abusive employer as well. I am usually nice to people but in their case I would straightforwardly answer “sorry, I blacklisted your firm” and hang up to any poor soul cold calling on behalf of one of their brands… Stay away!
