It’s going to be a sad day if Robinhood goes under because a bunch of gamblers lost Robinhood a couple million dollars. It’d also be sad for them if in later developments they find out their Margin Call feature didn’t work as advertised.
Real brokers like InteractiveBrokers make you fill in a survey where you detail your experience and trading history before enabling you to do highly levered futures trading (and lying to them about this dramatically weakens any legal protections you might otherwise enjoy as a customer). Also, they have much tighter risk controls and will liquidate an account automatically if it gets to a dangerous level. And they also require a significantly larger account size before they will enable margin-- an amount that most teenagers are unlikely to have in liquid assets.

I will restate my original post, which I agree with you could have been more ideally written:

"I don't think it's just government, but also likely industries as well. I've seen what could only be trolling for support of multiple industries."

Since this was my intent to state in the first place, do you disagree with this because you think it's impossible? Or because you think it's unlikely? Or some other reason?

The original post demonstrated proof that governments pay trolls, do you believe the only customers for these businesses are governments?
I think that's understating the complexity of the IBC. The nice thing about building codes is that the regulators are local, but the regulations are very widely (voluntarily) adopted by those independent jurisdictions.

Local jurisdictions will usually have addenda to the code, for local fire requirements, etc., but a lot of that flexibility is baked into the standards themselves. In here there may be regulatory capture from local builders, and at higher levels (state-wide) there may be some capture from larger construction companies, but there's very little in the way of a feedback loop to allow homeowners to significantly change the building code.

Rather than debate in abstracts, I'd be curious if there is a particular section of the code that you feel is a result of this sort of capture. The IBC is available for browsing online [1], and Chapter 5 has the base restrictions on building size, with some notes on justification (largely about at what size you require additional fire suppression, which is a cost that most builders want to avoid in residential settings).

But regulations did force companies to accept credit ratings from and use rating agencies that, under other regulations, had explicit immunity from liability for bad faith ratings. Even if companies knew the credit ratings were fraudulent, they were required to use them per regulation.

The regulatory framework for credit ratings created a serious moral hazard out of whole cloth, and then actively shielded bad actors from scrutiny. It was a clear and obvious case of regulatory malfeasance, and while the subprime mortgage issue was a manifest consequence of that malfeasance, they did not cause it.

The government allowed this regulatory capture by credit agencies to occur because it directly benefitted the government as well, as they are required to rely on these same credit agencies for their own debt instruments.

Thank you for pointing out, this place is indeed a typo, what I want to say here is: because in our implementation, the split operation of a raft group is treated as a special raft log, because raft is a quourum-based algorithm, so in the case of network isolation, there may be followers that cannot receive the split command. I added a practical example after the paragraph. The solution to this problem is written behind, using the epoch + logic clock to ensure that the system is able to confirm the newest leader for specific raft group at any time.

Er no? I think you're still not getting it. The essential trick is that the token gets to randomly pick the value for this cookie, it isn't depending on the application ID.

One example way you can do this goes like this:

* Token has a Secret Key S baked inside it

* During enrollment the token makes a random private key P1 and a corresponding public key K1

* It makes a Cookie C1 by encrypting P1 using S

* It signs a message Ma with P1 to produce Za

* It sends C1, K1 and Za

The relying party gets to influence Ma but they do NOT get to pick any of these other values like P1, C1, K1.

The relying party verifies that Za is indeed a signature of Ma with K1 and if so enrollment worked, store C1 and K1

Now, after enrollment the relying party can produce new challenge messages Mb Mc Md and so on for ever, and each time it supplies the token with C1.

Given C1 and Mb, the token can decrypt C1 with S to get back P1, and then it can sign Mb with P1 to produce Zb. It sends that back.

The relying party can confirm that Zb is a signature of Mb with K1 and so this must be the genuine token that was enrolled previously.

The single digit efficiency metric is probably overall conversion efficiency of sunlight. The two efficiencies are probably quantum yield, or the efficiency at converting one wavelength of light. We have two because the molecule's tristable. Converting from state 0 to 1 has one efficiency while converting from state 1 to 2 has another. State 0 and 1 also absorb different wavelengths of light. Because sunlight's a mix of different wavelengths not just the two our molecule's active at, the efficiency at sunlight conversion will be different than the quantum efficiency.

> Paid no penalties for the whole Dieselgate in Germany,

German prosecutors have charged VW's former CEO and some other executives [1]. I think it's very rare for bigwigs to be held personally responsible for pollution anywhere in the world so I see this as a refreshing change. The company itself paid a fine in Germany (one billion, I think) and has paid fines in other countries, as well as recalling a lot of cars.

As far as government support goes, well, Tesla made a ton of money from selling pollution permits and I think their car prices were also directly subsidised. I'm sure the big Chinese EV manufacturers were supported at crucial times as well. Industrial policy can be corrupt but it is a necessary part of a big, national or international level effort and I don't think there is any point in pretending otherwise.

Continuing from your article.

> However, the failure to take action in the face of widespread infringement could significantly impact a mark owner’s rights.

This reads like a risk to me.
Robinhood will likely not, considering they are grossly non-compliant with Regulation T (and have been reported to the SEC and FINRA regarding this issue), which governs margin requirements. This is someone's risk management system failing on a trivial use case.

The distinction between dressing up and not dressing up is not as big as those who dress with intention and purpose and those who don't. I've seen people wear very expensive suits but they look terrible because they are illfitting and poorly matched. I've seen people in brown pants and a button down shirt looking good because they have their leathers matching and have given some thought to their appearance. so wear suits by all means, but even more important, learn how to put together a set of clothes that speak well for you.

This was exactly my point. With pervasive crypto end users can assume this to a greater degree, whether you believe that appropriate or not.

Thanks!

At a credibility score of 6.91/10, many people will rightly judge that the full GPT-2 model will remain insufficient for malicious use in creating fake news.

However, even the smaller models are already good enough for spamming/trolling/astroturfing. It doesn’t take a Shakespearean soliloquy to convince people of a point. Just enough of a flood of short 1-3 sentence pro/con comments on a forum can drastically affect the perceived public opinion of an issue. Those comments can then spur real people to reply, which could result in an ultimately organic but directed propaganda vector. Propaganda directors will carefully craft something for people to look at, and the GPT-2 bots will move people’s eyes in that direction.

You can see the same happen on r/subsimulatorgpt2, where the longer titles and prompts and replies eventually sprawl into incoherence, but the shorter sentences from the finetuned bots in the comments section are effectively indistinguishable from the kinds of short comments you would find on their respective subreddits.

Or in other words, the malicious uses for GPT-2 won’t be a tidal wave, but a flash flood.
