Yup. I can certainly understand the hesitation because it's basically two computer programs both saying "I'm smarter than you! No I'm smarter than you!" which rarely ends well.

But I think since WiFi clients are so varied in their intelligence, the ideal thing is to build the roaming functionality into the AP... because at least you have the ability to fix it once and for all for everyone. Whether or not currently commercially-available hardware does that, I don't know.
Would technicians, construction/renovation workers, and the likes be good alternative career paths for the current truck drivers?

If so, there should be policy support/subsidy to help train those who wish to shift to these options which, to my knowledge, pay pretty well and will continue to be in demand for the foreseeable future (little automation is likely, given the limits of current technology.)

Gmail's basically parsing emails, so I don't think it would be that hard to do client-side if there was a community effort to create and maintain the parsers. That's certainly doable, because ad-block lists have some of the same characteristics and are community maintained.

> So when Elon tweeted, a whole whack of shorts got stopped out

What means stopped out? The bank forcing the lender to give the stock back right at this point?
> Shorting is selling? Selling to whom? Ah, right, a buyer.

A buyer who would otherwise have had to buy from a seller who wanted a higher price.

The stock price is really the value for which shares were most recently exchanged. If the price is $500, shares were exchanged for $500.

That isn't the same as what other people value the shares at, which is different for each person. The people who own shares value them at more than their market price (or they would sell) and the people who can afford but don't own shares value them less (or they would buy). Someone could own shares and value them at $600, so they wouldn't even sell at $550, meanwhile another owner values them at no more than $500.02, so they sell as soon as the price hits $500.02.

That's where the bid/ask spread comes from. The lowest seller values the shares at $500.02, the highest buyer values them at $499.98, so the seller keeps their shares and the buyer keeps their money, and the share price is still considered to be $500.00 because that's what the last actual sale went through as. To get another transaction either the seller or the buyer has to "cross the spread" and meet the other side's price and then the price goes up or down based on whether it was the buyer or the seller.

So what happens when someone makes a short sale? They borrow shares and cross the spread to sell for $499.98. Now the share price has gone down two cents. Moreover, the buyer willing to pay $499.98 now has their shares. The next highest bid is $499.97. If another short seller supplies that buyer with shares, the share price drops again and so does the bid price, because the previous high bid already has their shares. The more short sellers, the lower the sale price.

This is one of the reasons why short selling is frequently unprofitable. If you're not an early short seller, you're selling shares for $450 that all else equal would be worth $500 once the existing shorts close their positions, and at some point you have to buy them back. Which means to make money the company doesn't just have to lose value, it has to fail hard enough to prevent your profits from being erased by other shorts buying back shares to close their positions.

> Telsa share price has risen through extreme short interest for years. How?

If the share price would rise by $3 while short selling would cause it to decline by $1 then on net the price rises by $2, i.e. $1 less than it would have but still a positive value.
I am. There is inherent risk with investing. Buying up stock because of a tweet by the ceo who was "thinking about" (even if he did have funding secured) isn't the most sound financial decision IMO.

If you use a free service, you basically have assurances that they're not respecting your privacy. The probability of a paid service respecting your privacy is greater than zero, at least.

Also, not all paid services are created equal. You still have to do more due diligence past just throwing money at someone who'll take it.

This is very interesting, to be sure, and I commend everyone involved for their work in exposing this stuff. But does anyone else get irked by the style of writing? He’s alternating between implying complete assuredness and being excessively vague:

> (2) The perps are probably a Russian hacking group (military, KGB, FSB, or something similar), known by a bunch of names, but I call them Fancy Bear, for no particular reason other than it was the first name I knew them by, and it's a neat name. These are the same guys that (probably) broke into a factory in Taiwan in Feb 2018, and modified firmware in a bunch of computers, headed for the German government.

How could he possibly be so sure (that he implies) that this is the same group? Sure, he adds a couple of “probably”s, but the style is completely undoubting.

Then, later:

> (6) Interestingly, the modus operandi of the Lenovo rootkit and the modified Lo Jacks, are _remarkably_ similar. This might be pure coincidence… or … maybe something else.

Maybe what? Why is he being cagey about what it could be? It looks like he wants the reader to feel like the “in”-group who knows what he means, but in reality nobody does.

it’s not being manipulated, what you’re seeing as “the farmer wasn’t willing to accept that much” is probably a little bit of hyperbole with a few anecdotes.

The more interesting bit is that farmers are not directly setting the price they will be paid. There’s clearly a huge information assymetry, so the pricing is necessarily going to be dictated by the purchasers.

Given that all of the purchasers know the same thing, they will know approximately what the actual market price will be. Before they have talked to any farmers. They don’t need to talk to any other purchasers. They have all of the required information. So when the legal market period starts all of the purchasers will arrive knowing what a reasonable price will be this season.

From a farmers point of view though, what happens is this:

* You take your beans to the market

* you are offered money for the beans. Sometimes you are offered 100 times as much. You have no idea why.

A agree wizh you on the Tesla part, there Musk really forced very positive development. One could argue of course if that development wouldn't have taken place as well without Tesla. But even then it is clear that Musk / Tesla moved things along a lot faster.

SpaceX is an incredible achievement. The reusable rockets are a point I really need to dig deeper into, especially the financial aspects of it. Because there a pretty convincing argument is that peivate SpaceX launches are subsidized by government launches. I really have to go hunting for some numbers there more I think about it. And even then, building competitive rockets, not just one, in a private endevour is incredible.

I'm just wondering if Musk is not getting to much credit and hype. Not that he would need it, even the smallest common ground regarding Musk's achievements is more than enough for a lifetime. Unless he throwing all of it away over some paranoid obsession about short sellers and a loose Twitter finger...

Many investors (long or short) place what are called stop orders to protect their positions from steep losses.

For a long investor, you might buy a stock at $100, watch it go up to $150 and enter a sell-stop order at $130. That stop order has no effect so long as the price stays above $130. When/if the stock drops to $130, the order becomes a market order to sell out, protecting from further losses.

For a short seller, they might place a buy-stop order (at a price higher than the current price) to protect from disastrous runaway price to the high side. Those stops could have been triggered by the run-up after Musk's tweet.
It did that for me for a while, but eventually it came around to syncing.

Whatever you say Mr. Secret Agent Man. I'm sure you're a real expert on "op-sec", much better than the FBI or Treasury Department.
The "custom" and "proprietary" are largely irrelevant, in that they're merely internal implementation details.

These systems (from SuperMicro or Lenovo, for example) still fit in a standard 19" rack, and still take standard CPUs, standard DIMMs, and standard PCIe cards.

The main limitation is that the complete "barebones" system is indivisible, unlike with most 1S-2S systems, where motherboards can be mixed and matched among a wider variety of chasses. This limitation also applies to high-density offerings like blades and SM's "Twin" line. I have yet to encounter a situation where such a limitation has ever even entered the conversation.

I didn't get the impression that he was trying to imply anything beyond what he wrote... I think it was very clear that such speculation had no backing and was purely that- speculation.
The goals of the Coinbase founder and Satoshi are entirely irrelevant. Power comes from the barrel of a gun.
"Shorting" a stock means selling it without owning it, essentially owning negative stock. You're betting that it will go down, and then when it does go down, you close your position by buying the stock (to get back to zero shares).

The risk in doing this is unlimited. If you short a stock at $100, and then it goes to $500, you've lost $400.

Your broker doesn't want to take liability for your loss if you're not able to cover it. So your broker will forcibly close your position for you.

Even if your broker doesn't close your position, you might do it yourself to stop losing money.

When a lot of people do this all at once, it's called a "short squeeze" as everyone who was short buys shares to close their short positions. It can make the price go up.

I don't follow Tesla's stock price, but Musk getting on Twitter saying something that could make the stock price go up could (and perhaps did) cause a short squeeze.

Thanks for the tip. I appreciate it. I also appreciate the extra effort you put into making sure I interpreted in the spirit in which it is given. It can be hard to understand intent via text.

You're right. They definitely aren't immaterial misses. I'm not trying to deny that there are misses.

I'm trying to talk about the vector that Tesla is representing and the way that vector makes the claims about their misses less important. There is now a new trend in the auto industry, with the monthly sales of ICE vehicles going down every month and the number of electric vehicles sold every month going up. Tesla is now projected to have a vehicle within the top 20 most sold vehicles in the United States. They are projected to be first by vehicle revenue for a single model. They are doing worse than they wanted, but not terribly. They need support, in my view, so that they can continue their mission of electrifying transport. Not to be torn down, which feels almost suicidal at societal scale for as long as the other manufacturers still make most of their income on ICE vehicles.

Though, I suppose legislators will eventually ban those vehicles outright, it is already starting to happen in some places.

Hope you have a wonderful day. As for me, I'm in the house of mourning. I'm certain that more people are going to suffer in the future. It has me really down. I'm watching people trying to bet on disasters occurring, seeing another person realize this and try to do something to fix it, and then seeing that blow up in the most horrible way. It is tragedy. Already, I have friends and family that have been impacted by climate change. I can't stop caring about them.

We're late on stopping climate change. So is Tesla. It sucks.
"long" in this case is a direction (net owner of shares), not a duration.
If an app (even badly coded) causes memory leaks in the OS, that's a fault of the OS still. Of course fast moving OSes like Android or iOS are always going to have these kinds of bugs and it's probably not related to Swift as Swift isn't used in the kernel internals.
I've been trying to watch these issues and not seen anything that suggests they won't do it again. If you have some evidence of this, please post it.

In fact I think it more important to point out that the incident proved they can and will do such a thing, and will have less of an argument should someone stick a piece of paper to their head and tell them to do it more often.

I like cloudflare and appreciate all these cool things they are doing with with other's (Google's, Micorsoft's and Baidu's ?) money... however the old playbook of get big and entrenched then start to bleed your captive customers is getting rather old.

Wall street pressure has made godaddy much worse in my experience, and I have seen nothing that says cloudflare has done anything to prevent these things from happening again.

Whichever registrar is keeping stormfront as a customer is likely more resilient. (would like to know which (tucows?) reseller is the one.)

As I have mentioned elsewhere, I hope cloudflare is already setting up ways to split their company into cloudflare US, cloudflare CA, cloudflare UK, cloudflare JP, IN, etc etc.. as I think it's the only way to prevent mass takedowns that are likely coming in the future.
