Ask HN: Anyone into Stock Scalping?
Asking as an amateur. First, let me say that I know that trading is not a game and most people lose money.

Having said that, the idea of scalping really fascinates me as I have always thought about it a simplistic manner "Hey that stock moved a couple of bucks up today. If I had 50 shares to sell, I could make a quick $200 profit minus the commission". Of course, the stock could have moved down and then may be I would have held it anyway.

A very simplied version of course but kinda scratching the surface of what stock traders call scalping. I know there are many other techniques in scalping itself.

Does anyone do this at a smaller level as in less than a few hundred bucks a day or even a month ?

Only partially, in Swift, it is still up to the user to cleverly work around scenarios that the system does not catch. Which is why you have weak references and other many tricks in the language to circumvent infinite reference cycles and related problems. It's hard to call language garbage collected when you have to deal with all that stuff yourself. Just look at the stuff you have to do sometimes in your closures to avoid them creating memories leaks.

>I wonder if they could have closed more deals if they'd promised to do something like this.

I think continuation of development and community growth even after they closed down is what gives people confidence - and there's no practical way to show that upfront (assuming that having a big/visible community outside of your core company is not viable for such project in that ammount of time) - re-licencing just the first step to that. They proved what happens in a "worse case scenario" but I don't think you could have done it without going trough it.

Some additional information, direct from the FTC:

"The complaint alleges that Vizio engaged in unfair trade practices that violated the FTC Act and were unconscionable under New Jersey law."

The FTC act is long-standing federal law and NJ apparently has its own strong laws for this kind of activity. The FTC itself states that there are clear violations of at least these laws, at bare minimum.

You seem generally confused about the distinction between correlation and causation

You seem generally confused about how reason works.

I provided strong evidence that the causal relationship is {violent tendencies} -> {gun violence, fist violence, knife violence}. Your theory {gun ownership} -> {gun violence} simply does not predict the observed result; it suggests that gun violence should be high, but knife violence should be the same.

That's evidence that your theory is false and mine is true. Though I don't think you really care.

Incidentally, we can find lots of things that Europe has which the US doesn't, and equally well attribute crime differences to that. For example, the US has lots of blacks and Europe doesn't. But I'm guessing you will dodge the question of whether you support the same conclusion in this case as well.

I didn't dodge anything - your whataboutism is in fact dodging so I ignored it

It's hardly fact dodging. I assert that you don't really care about danger, all you care about is banning the cultural expressions of cultures you oppose.

Dodging a question about other dangerous activities that your own culture favors provides strong evidence that you do, in fact, not really care about danger - only winning some culture war.

> Do Android apps regularly encompass over 65.3k methods?

No. I've built huge applications that didn't come nowhere near that. I don't dispute some apps might run into that, but it's not a regular occurrence at all.

The real problem here is that it depends on what kind of libraries you're using. If you're liberal with adding a lot of all-purpose libraries when you only need a feature or two, you can run into that limit fast.

For example, look at the comparison table ("Replacing existing libraries") here:

http://jeroenmols.com/blog/2016/05/06/methodcount/

If you just need to load an image, do you want a library with 12k methods (!) or 800?
Hey HN,

a few weeks ago we found a vulnerability in GNU/bash path completion feature.

The bug has already been fixed by Chet Ramey; the most used Linux distributions in productions have not been vulnerable.

Unluckily, we were not able to reach the CVE people, but since the bug has already been fixed, more than two weeks ago, we decided to publish the small report anyways.

For people like me in the US, it's a gigantic pain to switch every direct-debit payment setting from the old routing/account number to the new.

Often with things like auto-bill-pay, you have to wait a billing cycle for the new changes to take effect. And you generally have to keep the two accounts open until everything is switched over, or face the wrath of failed direct debits.

All that means is the ongoing infrastructure costs and technology upgrades required are even higher. I don't see how that makes it less like water and electricity infrastructure, surely it makes it even more of an extreme example of the same thing?

The fact is a lot of countries have successfully opened up their telecoms markets to competition through regulation. So the US telco company's assertions that this cannot work has been proven to be false. It has been done, therefore it's a thing that is doable.

This very much reminds me of the US mobile operator's arguments that the European model of standardizing mobile infrastructure on GSM was market interference that would harm consumers. What it did was establish an open market in which consumers could freely switch between providers thanks to common technical standards. Meanwhile the US market was ghettoized into GSM and CDMA silos.

The real question is: why CIA had classified Russian jokes on their file?
You are too kind and very naive. By what you wrote, those people are taking advantage of you and abusing your knowledge and time. You supposed to say something while ago. They saw that you are not making any comments and you are not raising your voice. And then they thought, OK let's use this guy as much as we can. If they weren't thinking like that, they would offer you a fair compensation long time ago. If there was not enough cash, then at least in some shares. Their plan was to use you to the point where you are not needed anymore. And I think that is when they employed new full time CTO. I think it is too late to do anything now. If you don't have anything on paper you will gain nothing for you previous work.

well gitlab ci is slower on our machine than jenkins.
also push based ci might be better for performance when having many workers. while gitlab ci is pull based which can net in negative performance.
of course pull based is way less painful when nodes go down/etc..

actually the biggest problems of slowness also comes from docker and caching. I think our docker setup for jenkins/gitlab-ci is not equal. for some jobs we will probably migrate away from docker, as soon as we are able to have a good story for running parallel tests.

Since I do not stay up to date with the latest from Google all the time, and didn't even know AMP was a thing until I encountered it in a production google search one day, I had no chance to offer feedback.

Any ideas how this process could be improved?

I'm not sure you've addressed the concern. Sure, reverse-engineering an interface is legal. However, use of these APIs by third-party, non-vetted apps or libraries potentially incurs other legal risks.

I suppose you've somewhat addressed it with your final comment: "...at their own risk." I'm not risking access to all my money on using your library to access my bank account. If you say the risk is mine, and, since I'm using your library rather than an approved binary, the bank can show that the risk is mine, when someone finds and exploits a weakness in your library to take my money, I'm screwed.

Most of the media is only interested in covering "violent protests" so they can help their buddies in power by discrediting the protesters.

Those who watched the U.S. elections closely in 2015 and 2016 already know the media had zero interest in covering real issues, and they would much rather do a one-day marathon about Trump calling someone a pussy. And now the same media blames the Russians or whoever that Trump is in power, even though they are the ones making him a TV star with their non-stop coverage of him.

After looking it up quickly, it seems that one step really was raising the buoy values by a single constant, but this was only a tiny part of a much more involved process.

"The SSTs from ships or buoys were accepted (rejected)
under a QC criterion that observed SSTs differ from the first-guess
SST from ERSST.v3b by less (more) than 4 times standard
deviation (STD) of SST (Smith and Reynolds 2003).
The ship and buoy SSTs that have passed QC were
then converted into SSTAs by subtracting the SST climatology
(1971–2000) at their in situ locations in
monthly resolution. The ship SSTA was adjusted based
on theNMATcomparators; buoy SSTA was adjusted by
a mean difference of 0.12 C between ship and buoy
observations (section 5). The ship and buoy SSTAs were
merged and bin-averaged into monthly ‘‘superobservations’’
on a 28 3 28 grid. The number of superobservations
was defined here as the count of 28 3 28 grid
boxes with valid data. The averaging of ship and buoy
SSTAs within each 28 3 28 grid box was based on their
proportions to the total number of observations. The
number of buoy observations was multiplied by a factor
of 6.8, which was determined by the ratio of randomerror
variances of ship and buoy observations (Reynolds and
Smith 1994), suggesting that buoy observations exhibit
much lower random variance than ship observations.
The SSTAs of superobservations were further
decomposed into low- and high-frequency components.
The low-frequency component was constructed by applying
a 268 3 268 spatial running mean using monthly
superobservations where the sampling ratio is larger
than 3% (five superobservations). An annual mean
SSTA was then defined with a minimum requirement of
two months of valid data. The annual mean SSTA fields
were screened and the missing SSTAs were filled by
searching the neighboring SSTAs within 108 in longitude,
68 in latitude, and 3-yr in time. The search areas
were tested using ranges of 158–208 in longitude, 58–108
in latitude, and 2–5 yr..."

From the README:

The Metropolitan Museum of Art presents over 5,000 years of art from around the world for everyone to experience and enjoy. The Museum lives in three iconic sites in New York City—The Met Fifth Avenue, The Met Breuer, and The Met Cloisters. Millions of people also take part in The Met experience online.

Since it was founded in 1870, The Met has always aspired to be more than a treasury of rare and beautiful objects. Every day, art comes alive in the Museum's galleries and through its exhibitions and events, revealing both new ideas and unexpected connections across time and across cultures.

The Metropolitan Museum of Art provides select datasets of information on more than 420,000 artworks in its Collection for unrestricted commercial and noncommercial use. To the extent possible under law, The Metropolitan Museum of Art has waived all copyright and related or neighboring rights to this dataset using Creative Commons Zero. This work is published from: The United States Of America. You can also find the text of the CC Zero deed in the file LICENSE in this repository. These select datasets are now available for use in any media without permission or fee; they also include identifying data for artworks under copyright. The datasets support the search, use, and interaction with the Museum’s collection.

At this time, the datasets are available in CSV format, encoded in UTF-8. While UTF-8 is the standard for multilingual character encodings, it is not correctly interpreted by Excel on a Mac. Users of Excel on a Mac can convert the UTF-8 to UTF-16 so the file can be imported correctly.
That's the contradiction: Donald Trump is indeed the least religious Republican candidate ever, with a wide variety of flaws and sins that might make Donald Trump less appealing for devotees of the Gospel ideas. Yet approximately 80% of evangelical Christians voted for him. (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/acts-of-faith/wp/2016/11...). Other religious identities were more split, but not evangelical Christianity.

I'm sure some of this was class issues. Anecdotally, of the people I know in the extended family that were both Trump supporters and of strong Christian faith, the Trump vote seemed either to be single-issue voting (eg abortion), or what I gathered was more just general cultural alignment. The later sort of ties into class: religion and class can go hand in hand.

The biggest question is whether this strong tie in America of "Christianity=evangelical", and the strong political stances this often evokes, damages the Christian brand overall here. It's possible: there's a pretty clear trend especially among younger people towards secularization, and seemingly hypocritical stances might be one of the reasons for this (http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2016/08/24/why-americas...).
>Per capita Germany performs about half as many MRIs, CT scans, c-sections, coronary bypasses, or knee replacements as the U.S. And, if you're over 65, you have very little value to the public system. Doctors will merely manage your pain rather than work to extend your life regardless of your age like they do in the U.S.

Some thoughts I don't necessarily have answers to:

- is the lower occurrence of these procedures due to a lower need? Maybe wider-spread healthcare throughout life means overall people are healthier and need less procedures later on in life. Maybe these procedures are over-performed in the US and not necessarily under-performed in Germany (patients like having tests done and receiving medication, doctors/labs happy to do so because it is profitable, etc; for example, nowhere in Europe will you see "ask your doctor about XYZ drug!" advertising and antibiotics are much less commonly prescribed).

- there may indeed be a cultural/philosophical difference in approach to end-of-life care. Is it right that life should be extended at any cost in the US? Is this something that's available to someone who is poor and has basic or no insurance, or is it only available to someone wealthy or with an exceptionally strong insurance plan?
