> Why hasn’t the current administration brought criminal charges against them?

No idea. My guess is that it takes time, and that the DoJ will need to be prodded to do it, that the DoJ won't do it of its own volition. Whether the AG or deputy AG have to get involved, or the POTUS, or perhaps a criminal complaint has to be filed by, e.g., Ethiopia, I don't know, but I expect there are no DAs who would initiate a case here on their own (whether because government protects government, or because they think the case is radioactive, or whatever).

Why?
People might forget, but part of his platform was supercharging the economy (really, the stock market) past the moderate, but steady and unexciting post-financial-crisis growth of the Obama era.

To continue the automotive analogy, supercharging an engine with major fragilities usually sets it up for a reckoning, just waiting for a trigger.

Covid-19 is just a particularly powerful trigger since it is globally correlated, and also has its primary effects at the local level. It would have shocked any economy, Obama's or Trump's, but there is much farther to fall in the latter's, because of the huge market rallies and the expectations that drove and emerged from it.

There’s one thing I don’t think Gassée, or many of the people predicting an ARM transition for the Mac, are considering: user patience and goodwill, basically political capital with the user base.

Apple blew through an incredible amount of it on vanity projects in the 2010s, from the abandoned trashcan Mac Pro to the Touch Bar and butterfly keyboard. They’ve clearly changed course with the 16” MacBook Pro and the 2019 Mac Pro, but they’ve asked a lot of users over the past decade, and this doesn’t quite seem like the right time to ask the entire user base to please be patient once again.

In other words, while there’s little question that a switch to ARM is worth the headache for Apple, the critical question is whether Apple can make the case that the switch is worth it for users.
no no,,, COVID-19 is not the trigger its just one of the steps leading to the trigger...you had to have the fed manipulation of money to account for the 2008 losses on mortgages combined with the firm's stock performance via profits etc.

Congratulations. I'd love to only carry an iPad as it's < 1/2 the weight of a Macbook Air and it appears to be faster (runs Shadertoy shaders faster).

Unfortunately even simple things I find infuriating like trying to select text with my fingers.

Trying to multitask while planning a vacation/business trip and trying to flip between note taking, 4 hotel sites, 3 airline sites, airbnb, and multiple instances of google maps (oh right, only allowed one map view on iOS and one AirBnB view) ...

Shopping online I find similar, it's so much easier to compare items on a desktop ATM with 12+ tabs open and some split in into separate windows.

The majority of tasks I do require multi-tasking and often seeing 2-3 apps at once.

Even trying to write replies on HN is almost always infuriating, especially if I want to grab some links to paste into the reply, but also if I see a typo and try to use my fingers to move the cursor to the place to edit.

Maybe it's a learned skill or maybe I just use computers differently but I'm always fascinated and somewhat jealous of people like you that some how manage to avoid all that frustration on an iPad.
It takes a few days to transfer money from your Robinhood account to your bank account.
But that logic is flawed, see Japanese market. NIKKEI 225 Index, Was 34k in 1990, still 20+k and hasn't recovered after 30 years. There's nothing preventing that from happening to the US market.
A good REPL is nice, but its hardly a killer feature or a big productivity boost. If Clojure didn't have a REPL it would have been completely dead by now cause its startup time is really bad. Clojure needs to have a REPL in order to survive (which is barely doing).

Programmers are equally productive[0] (or way more because of their big ecosystems) in languages that have a fast code-run cycle.

Man, I picked a hell of a time to dip my toe into the investment game. I picked up a couple of reasonably wide Vanguard ETFs that seemed to be doing fine at the end of last year. I'm currently down 12%, and down 15% in the last month.

I suppose that's what I get. I realize that I should be looking at yearly data and I've only had them for a couple of months, but it's a little hard to look at.

Not to mention with all of the other RobinHood issues I want to move to another platform I'm already on (I've got an account with Schwab for work stuff and they seem fine), but general wisdom says to hold and let this craziness ride out.
A quirk of information propagation. If it's there, it was put there for a reason. If you don't understand the reason, you're at risk of having to rediscover it the hard way; something we generally wish to avoid at all costs.

Which is somewhat ironic considering the attitude around things like Trade Secrets leading to a plethora of Chesterton's Fences being basically guaranteed to litter the economic landscape.
Thanks for the link. I hadn’t ever heard of the Ship of Theseus – though I’ve referred to Trigger’s Broom from Only Fools and Horses when discussing this concept with others: the character worked as a street-sweeper and claimed to have had the same broom for the past 20 years (however, he had changed both the handle and the head multiple times during this time).
Please be mindful about the use of name for the covid-19. Use of Wuhan in name is not accurate, and deliberately implies a link to specific area and people, which is countereffective.
This is pretty interesting for capacity planning. I worked at a minor ecommerce company when Black Friday was still a big deal. In the month leading up to it, we went into code freeze and made sure all our systems can handle added load.

What Robinhood is facing is like that, but with no notice. It means they ~always need to be ready for a 4x(?) increase in load.
Graph-based codexes like RoamResearch.com show just how powerful such back-references can be.
Speaking as an author who deliberately chose to use JavaScript as the language of communication...

I both agree and disagree with you. It is nearly impossible to make one post that communicates strongly to all audiences. If you use an example problem simple enough to be understood by everyone, you almost certainly give up some of the nuänces that would be surfaced by a more complex problem to solve.

Likewise, using a language like JavaScript that is popular but doesn't embrace modern FP, you necessarily end up reinventing a lot of wheels like composition and chaining and partial application.

This can be very instructive for the newcomer, but is nothing but incidental complexity for the more experienced functional programmer.

In the end, I think the world benefits from authors not trying to be all things to all people. We all win if there are a variety of posts about a similar subject, using different languages and solving different complexities of problem.

So yes, 100% this post is not going to meet a lot of programmers' needs. But if there is some set of programmers--no matter how small--for whom it is a good fit, then let's agree that it's valuable and well-written for iuts target audience.

So what you are saying with a lot of words "The Future is uncertain" ;)
Put a handful of grad students in a room for a week and you have hundreds of hours right there.
We're not near any fundamental limits on growth. They exist, but the economy can get a lot bigger before it hits them. I have heard some really daft arguments about it ("the observable universe is finite!") and some less daft arguments ("resource shortages are more likely than asteroid mining within our lifetimes") but all of these predictions are for things a long time in the future.

Almost everyone I know has a nightmare healthcare story. We have the worst healthcare of a first world country. Many folks who have employer provided healthcare from top tier tech companies are kinda happy but anyone who is below the 50th percentile is living on the edge and playing a gamble.

I’m a solopreneur and we’ve decided to go without health insurance. The ridiculous premiums + super high deductibles mean even if you were to go to the doctor, you’re still paying full cost.

The gamble is you want to avoid any catastrophic visits which would cost 20k+ to offset the insurance deductible + premiums.

Compared to Australia, US healthcare system would be considered a joke.
I think the simple explanation here, per POSIWID, is that people who do the latter things do not in fact want to sell you on a language. It reminds me of the people who liked a band until it got popular. The point isn't the thing itself, it's having a reason to feel superior to other people.
Guess you can only turn the chessboard on Death so many times.
The device tree is part of the solution, not part of the problem. The reason PCs are able to handle this is that the really gnarly stuff (pincfg, gpios, I2C, SPI, random power management), is handled by per board tables in ACPI, and device tree handles the same niche.

The problem is that the device trees are half assed since they run against a hacked up kernel, not that they exist in the first place.
Sounds like a case of survivorship bias. Is there a phenomenon more descriptive, or do I have it right?

If you believe that the platform is so broken that it shouldn't be used (and I'm not arguing against that, btw) then a more reasonable solution would be to only allow position-reducing trades. That would also reduce overall trading volume on their platform.

Not that I expect them to do any of this, just pointing out that 'shut everything down' is not necessarily the best approach.
Next step: setting up email filters for @github-actions and various combinations of things you really don't need to see.

It's cool for sure, but maybe not for things like their big "lgtm" example.
That's a slogan of pro traders who have three problems:

(1) They trade on margin, so huge drops are much more dangerous to them

(2) Their boss sees a Profit & Loss for the trading day that evening, if they don't like what they see they might give their portfolio to somebody else.

(3) Customers are calling the sales desk and they want to sell; hopefully sales can slow them down, but you may need to sell to pay for redemptions. Many customers may need to sell to rebalance their portfolios, get liquidity, etc. This is a mechanism which can carry instability from one market into another one which would otherwise be doing just fine.

I don't really understand the "is not within" in that second sentence. They're easier to see if we aren't in the line of sight?
You should not assume that you can reasonably control your assets in moments of volatility. You may not be able to control them at all.

Market access is a major component of liquidity. If your broker already holds a phone in either hand, he won't be able to pick up your line when the light next to your name flashes.

Imagine that you have all of your liquid net worth in GLD and a huge cholera outbreak hits lower Manhattan. Bad shellfish. GLD rallies and you want to close your position and take profits. The problem is, the largest firms that make markets electronically on GLD have sent their employees home and shut down for the week. Their absence from the market makes it difficult for you to get a fair price for your large position.

Imagine that you use Verizon for your mobile phone and internet service. You think their service is great, so you buy shares of VZ. One day, Verizon announces that due to a malicious hacker, their network is experiencing cascading nationwide hardware failures that will not be repaired for at least a week. VZ stock plunges, but you can't modify your position because you can't get on the internet or make calls.

A less fanciful example would be owning stock when trading has been halted by the exchange. Perhaps there exists a buyer during the halt who would be willing to trade at a price that is favorable to you, but that transaction cannot happen.

Tail risk, in some cases, is a scenario where stocks get cheap. In other cases, stocks can't trade at all. (And in the worst of situations, tail risk is a scenario where guns get expensive.)
I believe Emoji input remains an unsolved problem from a UX perspective. Adding more emojis makes it even a bigger problem.
Any rumors if iOS will ever support multiple accounts in the future? It's infuriating how bad support is for people who travel and/or live abroad. I need to be on the USA App Store for various USA only apps and I need to be on the Japanese App Store for Japan only apps (examples including banking apps) but iOS doesn't allow multiple stores or multiple accounts and switching stores cancels all your subscriptions.

It's hard to believe no one at Apple has this issue but maybe they all just use 2 devices or something.
There seems to be some language confusion here. Single speed gearbox is still called a gearbox.
Not to don the tinfoil hat, but the simplest answer is that Robinhood can't afford to cover the consequences of a fire sale, so they take the app down and blame technical difficulties.

You’re assuming that the reporting in Germany is the same as the reporting in France.

While they reached 4 cases the same day, that doesn’t mean that they had the same number of unknown infections. Let’s say France had 10x as many unknown infections than Germany. How would that impact the disparity in death count? And is this even a large enough sample size for that disparity to not just be explained to a high degree by mere chance?

I'm not too experienced with this but I'm 99% sure this is in fact something you can do in the latest version of iPadOS. You can have three apps on screen at once too.

The problem is that the gesture system for doing so requires too much effort versus just using a laptop with multiple windows.
Yep. I don't have a stomach for it. So I've invested my RRSPs into a few different index funds run by Wealthsimple and Tangerine. I literally haven't looked at them in a year. Short term performance is noise, not signal.

Most content is garbage, but there exists content you want. If it didn't exist, you wouldn't be looking for it, and you wouldn't see any ads.

Ads are just the most friction-free way (from the reader's point of view) to pay for it. You don't have to install anything or connect your bank account. There's a lot wrong with that, including the proliferation of crappy content, but it does fund a lot of the genuine content as well. Both readers and writers want a better way, but results are mixed at best.

We bought our house in 2009. It was kinda scary--there was no telling when the recovery would come, and I was working a temp job that ended the day we signed papers. But we had been saving for a downpayment for several years--by 2005 or so it was clear that the Great Bubble was going to end very badly, so we just hunkered down in our crummy tenement apartment and waited it out.

I think JavaScript should be the perfect language for explaining these concepts. Many programmers understand JavaScript, and it has higher-order functions.

And many programmers use JavaScript so they could easily start adopting this mechanism in their actual programs.

> Q5 In the case of Markov, etc., I understand that the generation may be not very conformant to the style learnt, unless using a high order Markov but with the risk of recopying entire sequences from the corpus and thus plagiat. But, in the case of a RNN-based architecture [9], what is the rationale?-------------------- A5: As mentioned before, RNN does the similar work as LSTM in our work. But without including a discriminator, it only learns transmission probability between adjacent notes, but does not promise that generated sequences look like real ones.

Come on, guys, that's just not true. You do not need an adversarial loss to get good quality melodies. Look at Sturm's char-RNN on ABC notation, or OpenAI's MuseNet, or a bunch of Project Magenta work, or my own GPT-2 ABC music (MIDI in progress): https://www.gwern.net/GPT-2-music Or for that matter, any generative model trained with a non-adversarial loss (anything using GPT-2 for example).

In fact, generally, everyone avoids GANs for sequence generation because they work so badly compared to regular likelihood training... (Just at a skim, their 'baseline' is pretty suspicious. I'd expect an ablation for the GAN, not comparing their 400-unit LSTM to... a 100-unit LSTM https://www.aclweb.org/anthology/N19-4015.pdf ? Really?)

Not sure how much you can get a decent configuration of the Mac Pro for just $8000, but this is a very steep price, considering that the Mac Pro just doubled the entry price compared to its predecessors.

The vast majority of Robinhood's customers aren't day trading clamoring to get their daily dose of tendies. The proportion of RH's customers who are actually effected is probably quite minimal, and of those some might change to another broker, but most will probably just put up with it. The market isn't going to be this active for long, and so once it calms down RH will put in place some fixes for its systems. This will be forgotten after a couple of weeks, it'll perform better next time and it'll have almost no impact on RH's value.
