The problem is that it makes it hard to get enough of a critical mass to convince people that it's worth the ten bucks.

That being said, something awful did it well over a decade ago [1] and has a relatively low amount of assholes/harassment, but it's not zero.

Yep. The Nobel prize was created quite explicitly to assuage critiques of Alfred Nobel's legacy [1].

With 100 years to look back on, did the ends justify the means?

Because individual retail traders are (a) generally uninformed and (b) relative to institutions, have very small positions they want to move in the market. Those orders are intrinsically more valuable, because they aren't risky to make markets for.

Essentially, your trades have a lower cost basis than those of institutions. But the markets are generally priced assuming institutional traders. So if firms know you're not an exchange they can save some money on you, and Robinhood literally passes some of those savings to you.

(I don't love Robinhood or anything, but the model makes perfect sense.)

I’m starting to use Google Keep more and more for this. Seems to be better organized (for me) for digital jotpads. However it is much more limited in the text editing/word processing ability. However, I really don’t need that for quick notes.
The academics are wrong, the problem is tribalism. Facts don't matter, thought doesn't matter, even ideology doesn't matter. It's just about tribes at this point for a decent chunk of the population.

Now, social media is an excellent platform for whipping up further tribalism. But it's not so straightforward as "a few cambridge analytica ad buys -> electoral zombies".
Essential has nothing to do with it. Upgrading to a ten year old standard as a minimum is not burdensome. If these services are so critical, they have far bigger problems due to these gaping security holes.
Ah yes, PM Orban is such an amazing freedom fighter against the big bad European Union, and now he can go to war against his own constituents as well.

You find it concerning because it's easy to abuse. The fact-checkers get to decide what is "true", and other Facebook users are unlikely to listen to you if you try and convince them that the fact-checkers are wrong.
So, "No, you can't have that to go: we're gonna watch you either eat the fries you were paid $0.25 to eat, or else ask you to return the $0.25."
If you keep posting abusive comments, we are not going to unban you after 3 months.

You know how to post good comments and you know what the difference is.

How is this any less glib than saying "Rip Paul Allen"?
I think it's important to recognize that Tesla is (partially) a technology deflation play (its also a financial engineering play, but that is out of scope for this thread).

Their ability to deliver is a function of the costs of their basic technology supplies (batteries for the Roadster were expensive, less so for the S, X, and energy storage, and now even less so for the 3). This is very similar to the cost decline curve of solar, wind, and storage in the utility energy space (project developers provide bids based on where prices will be in 3-5 years).

Tesla can do this because technology and batteries rapidly decreases in cost every year. Need new autopilot compute hardware? It should be cheaper by the time they need to perform the swap to realize the capability. Need LIDAR? They'll find a way to install it, and the costs should be fairly reasonable per vehicle instead of thousands, or tens of thousands, if they went all in when it was expensive.

This is not unlike a technology startup, where technical debt you're going to pay off in the future is an acceptable tradeoff, so you push off the decision and/or work until the last possible moment (but no further).
RIP Paul Allen
I must admit that this news has shaken me quite a bit.

I was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma six months ago. I'm a young guy, married, and with toddlers at home. The initial tumor was removed and I am now in the "waiting period" to see if it spread and if additional tumors present themselves. It's a very good prognosis, but hot dog if this news hasn't hit close to home, especially considering this fun fact:

My six-month PET scan is tomorrow.

We shall see what they find. In the meantime Paul Allen and his family will be in my prayers.

In this specific case, it means that retail flow is much less likely to immediately move the market than flow from an informed (knows the market will move soon) or large (will trade so much that it will move the market) player, and is much more valuable to market makers who try to capture the spread on that order (and usually improve it) and hedge/trade out of that risk relatively soon.
Your example scenario wouldn't pass the smell test because there's no non-racist reason why someone would only want to hire whites, so it's obviously a smokescreen for racist intent. In the case of college admissions, there are plausible reasons for wanting to increase the diversity of their student body.
Because surveillance isn’t an issue of left vs right, it’s an issue of predator vs prey, and all of the elected officials are the predators as much as the voters are prey.
Say there are 100 people racing, and the top 25% get to advance to the next round. "We're hurting you" is that you have to start 10 seconds late. "We're helping them" is that a few people get to start 10 seconds early. Would you assert that the two scenarios are equivalent?
I've heard similar sentiments around looking at API monitoring graphs when you're not investigating a specific problem. Weird stuff happens all the time, and most of the time it's no big deal.

I don't have any inside information about Robinhood's infrastructure, but I'd be willing to bet the mobile phone thing is a red herring.

HFT will take that bet on the other side of every retail investor they can get their hands on, including those with very sophisticated trading terminals. For that matter they will take the other side for very sophisticated non-retail investors so long as its non-directional flow.

Trying to overcompensate for bias is how we got into this mess in the first place. Rather than picking a set of biases and viewpoints and presenting that, news orgs and silicon valley have decided that $thing_i_agree_with and $the_opposite_view deserve equal reach/airtime.
Yes I think the cons of this outweigh the pros. Ultimately, people will stop getting their information on FB if it becomes too obvious it is being skewed unfairly.
Problem is the temperature keeps changing (upwards). If it was a step input, then you might see a sudden die-off and then a ramp back up. But the temperature change is, to first order, a ramp input.
I really don't think you should remove information (or even be able to sue someone, except for defamation) for it being false, because it gives people the false impression that if information is printed or allowed on Facebook that it's probably accurate. We need to give everyone the impression that whatever they read might be false, because it actually might be false. Maybe that will make people think critically about what they read.
At least the ideas are immortal.
The API alone is pretty amazing. SendGrid allows you to send up to 1000 customized non-campaign (transactional) emails in a single call. This is huge if you send a ton of email. Plus the deliverablity stats for transaction emails is great, too.
What a time to get pedantic.

I totally expect that Facebook will just pick biased "fact-checkers" on both sides of the aisle and call it done.

No, we do that because a marketplace of subjective ideas is a good thing.
Exactly how do you think you're paying it here? Be specific.

Later: to be clear, my subtext is that Robinhood customers aren't actually paying anything and are sort of getting a free lunch here. The money Robinhood pockets from your trades isn't available to you in any form, at least until someone starts the brokerage that pays you to trade.
This is so sad. I met him once when my company was doing some work for Vulcan and I was impressed that his manner was so understated but SHARP, he just "got" things very quickly.

My favorite anecdote from that time period was someone telling me that the first time they met him they were seated next to each other at dinner and he turned and asked "So, what's your favorite shark?"

(I mean I think it was at a dinner for something to do with the ocean/sharks so not totally crazy, but still - charming)

Ever wondered why in millions of years nature didnt evolve a LIDAR equivalent and most species use passive vision?

I think Tesla is bang on the money going only with cameras. They are already better than the human eye.
Within the parent comment and beyond, it seems people are putting emphasis on a change in temperature but do not state a deviation from the average 98.2°. Even if we did have it though, I don’t think having a longitudinal look at someone’s vital signs (VS) would be misleading in any sense. It establishes a baseline history of the person and deviations will be put in context with the addition charting notes from that visit.

While I do agree with a single point not being enough information, nobody is looking at body temperature alone when diagnosing a patient— unless they’re reaching internal temperatures of below 95° and above ~100.9 for hypothermia or hyperthermia respectfully. With each diagnosis there are /x/ number of signs and symptoms that go along with it so it is crucial that we gather as much information on all the VS we can, no matter how minuscule the data may seem.
Wait a sec! There is nothing wrong with tribalism per se. The problem is that fake news are convincing people that my tribe is wrong, which is obviously nonsense!

> A very good case can be made for such an expansion to slow down the amount the Court can change in the short term.

No, it can't, at least in terms of a normal legislated expansion, because the immediate effect would be to vastly accelerate the change in the direction of the then-dominant party.

Also, a larger court (even beyond the one-time transition) doesn't provide any more stability on average, though it does reduce the variability in the rate of change (doubling the size of the court doesn't change the percent of the court that changes, on average, each Presidential term. But it makes the standard deviation of that percentage less.)

5% is a lot. Political ads are 5% of Facebook's revenue? Wow that's way more than I expected.
"Ban misinformation"? This is a very slippery slope... Facebook's very own Babel's Tower.
I suppose “variants” is not an inaccurate description, but it feels misleading (although you could argue about intention vs reality). The spec calls them “extensions”. Support for an extension can be checked at runtime, and unsupported instructions can be trapped and emulated. The base ISA is frozen, and the common extensions (floating point, atomics, vectors) are standardized. The spec also defines a subset of the extensions that general purpose processors are expected to support.

It may be a hope born of bias (I’ve worked with the architects of RISC-V), but I don’t expect fragmentation to be one of the primary issues that RISC-V will face.

They're promoting a security [1]. If a company can't bother with the law, I distrust their claims around privacy.

If Harvard is trying to admit the top students academically, they must be race blind. If they are trying to admit the future powerful citizens of America, they can use a metric that accounts for that. For example, Beyoncé is more powerful than me, even though I probably had better grades. It wouldn’t be outrageous for Harvard to say we want Beyoncé as an alumnus more than me. But be honest about what you’re doing then, and don’t call your institution an academic one.
They have a fiduciary duty to their investors to not leave money on the table... blah blah blah.

Indeed. What I find shocking is how many people still delude themselves that this stuff isn't ubiquitous across the industry. 20% experienced sexual coercion. Think about how many more experience "just" sexual harassment, misogyny, mistreatment, etc. How many instances of being mistreated does it take to affect your career growth? How many instances does it take to impact your perception of the industry as a whole and your desire to stay working in it? To what degree you keep a list of safe and unsafe places to work, safe and unsafe opportunities for you, and how much that curtails your growth potential? How many stories from other coworkers about worse abuses (like sexual coercion) does it take to erode any belief in the goodness of your industry whatsoever and make you feel like you are walking around with a target on your back just waiting until it happens to you? This is why the industry finds retention and promotion of women so difficult, because it treats them horribly and like all rational people they have a tendency to leave situations that are harmful to them. It doesn't take a huge number of bad actors for these things to affect lots (or even most) women, but it does require organizations (HR, management, etc.) consistently looking the other way and failing to take action, it does require the majority of guys just bumbling around thinking these problems are super rare instead of universal.
Wait, I thought grid cells were hippocampal cells, and therefore not in cortical columns.
>>Plus radiation. Every CT scan increases your odds of cancer.

If the doctor makes money from your CT Scan you are absolutely right to question the need. Conflict of interest and all. Sure you increase the chances of cancer but that has to be weighed by what can happen if you don't do the CT Scan.
>> Now if I take the medicine and it's not better in a day or two, maybe then I will want that CT scan.

That's what most doctors in my country would do. Are you saying that US doctors will send you to CT right away, just to be sure?
If cost is a concern it does pay dividends in the long run though. Biggest hassle is the initial setup.
Ubiquiti's cameras are rock solid, both in terms of hardware and software. And if you don't like their software, the cameras provide a raw RTSP feed you can integrate with other open source alternatives. They're not too hard to hack on (official API docs are lacking but their forums are quite vibrant); I've integrated mine with my OpenHab control/display.

I've got a couple cameras that have been running outdoors for years in rain, snow, and heat. At this point I'm just waiting for them to die so I can finally upgrade to the latest and greatest models.

And why do half of these sentences not make sense?

Back in my day, journalism in forbes was still shitty but at least with coherent sentences.

edit: A link in the article does inform me of 'rap crew'
"O

n a June day last year, a skinny, dreadlocked 29-year-old rapper known as Tony Da Boss lay in bed in a redbrick apartment on a tree-lined street in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was not the kind of place you’d associate with a million-dollar criminal conspiracy. But Da Boss (real name Damonte Withers) was a leader of the FreeBandz Gang, an amateur hip-hop crew of twentysomethings who were into much more nefarious activities than laying down tracks."

jesus christ. get out of journalism and go write that pulp novel kicking around in your head.
I think this is something that isnt that present in our profession as it should be. If you are an electrical engineer, it is clear and present, that your products might kill someone if you screw up. The same goes for a mechanical engineer. And it will be your responsibility. If you screw up and should have known better, you might even go to jail for negligence.

We on the other hand have the Therac-25.

We claim to be on a level of engineering fields. We should also act that way.

> Apparently one of his tests for vet interns is to tell them "This bird is sick. Figure it out". Then he gives them a perfectly healthy bird. Their bias always makes them find something.

Seems like the "bias" in that case is likely due to an authority figure intentionally misleading them in the context of a "test", where one naturally assumes they're not being deceived by the very premise of said test? If an actual bird owner came in as a client and said the same (or if the test explicitly told them to assume this is the situation), the interns might very well still realize the client is wrong.
Ugh, was this ever exploited? I shudder to think about someone walking around a stadium or shopping mall with a Raspberry Pi, killing people.
So, what's the name of your hero? I guarantee I can dig up some less-than-noble aspect about them, or cast a past action in negative light. People are pretty complicated, multi-faceted creatures. We're allowed to be grateful for their positive contributions even though we're all teeming with flaws.

No one here is paying tribute because the man was a literal saint, and I've yet to see anyone praise him specifically for building Microsoft. They're simply thankful for the actions of a man that resonate directly with each individual; it's a pretty common thing to so when someone passes.

So, thanks for the heads up, though I'm pretty sure anyone familiar with Allen's numerous organizations, business and charities is also aware of his less noble pursuits. There will be plenty of opportunity to focus on the negative aspects but the polite thing to do at this time is stay quiet.
(Shrug) He did a lot of good things and a few bad things, like most of us. Because he was extremely wealthy, though, the "lot of good things" that he did amounted to a significant boon to humanity. It's a very safe bet that anyone who lives in the Seattle area has benefited from his philanthropy in one respect or another, probably several.

I don't have much use for patent trolls, or (for that matter) people who give six-figure sums to Republican PACs looking to maintain control of the House. It seems weird for a philanthropist who is also a cancer survivor to donate to people who fight scientific, environmental, and humanitarian progress at every turn. But this is one of those cases where it really is more appropriate to remember his contributions that almost everyone regardless of political or technical persuasion would consider good. We are unquestionably worse off without Paul Allen, especially here in the PNW.
Does Freetrade say somewhere that they don't pay for execution services from some other company? If they don't, is that a good thing? Doesn't that imply that they think they can outcompete Citadel and Two Sigma on execution? Because, like, they can't? Right?
Yeah, your intuition seems correct to me. I wonder if I was thinking about 64 to 32 signed, or if just didn't know.
What a weird thing to say. Everyone will die. It makes no sense to point out that no one would want to trade places with a dying or dead person. Of course not. Meaningfulness of life is more valuable than length of life.
This is such a slippery slope. Even now snopes hasn’t debunked the “Trump tower server communicating to Russia”[1] story even though it was simply spam and is soundly debunked.

And when we learned that or national intelligence agencies wire tapped a duly elected president? CNN called it fake news (“we’re dumber for having heard that”).

If we let these “fact checkers” control the narrative we’re sacrificing our own ability to critically judge things for ourselves. Because we’ll never see it.

I have zero doubt that “misinformation” is simply — or already — overloaded with political biases.
