> This tale also illustrates the point that you can move companies from Wall Street to Silicon Valley, and replace cynical baby boomers with optimistic millennials (Robinhood’s co-founders are in their mid-30s) who issue rousing mission statements, such as Robinhood’s promise to “democratize finance for all,” but ultimately the underlying math does not change. Sometimes, a business decides that its fortunes may diverge from those of its customers. Caveat emptor.
This was completely unnecessary, but true.
And now, please permit me a hearty laugh at the expense of millennials...

However, I know people that have used robinhood, I’m upset that they were affected, and I don’t blame millennials.
> (In the following, I assume that tail-calls, i.e. those where a function end with another function call, but without modifying its result, do not actually use stack space. Once all recursive function calls are tail calls, the code is equivalent to an imperative loop, as we will see.)
No, it’s not “tail call”, it’s “tail recursion” or “tail-end recursion”.
“Tail call” could be interpreted as any call from a function’s end, even one that adds to the stack.
This was completely unnecessary, but true.
