Because you need to qualify for margin and the person who lent you the money agreed to lend it to you knowing that you could BK it. With student loans, the student usually doesn't have an income or assets so there needs to be more incentives to convince lenders to lend money.

What corporations don't have is any obligation to cede to the public demand or be held accountable for their actions. There's no democratic control, no way they can be fired by the voter nor do they have any responsibility of •transparency.

How well has that whole accountability thing worked out for the police department and the American military? The justice system?

I think I’m going to call my congresspeople with the same question.
WebRTC doesn't do everything for you; it's really just responsible for tying together ICE with media streams. Signaling is up to you to figure out. For instance, multiple clients in one room: this is part of the signaling layer and is not WebRTC's responsibility (I built this into zonko.chat if you want to see how it works though).

Closing and restarting connections is signaling layer stuff, ie your responsibility.

Echo cancellation is really supposed to be application layer and up to you as well, but I think this will probably shift to be the browser's/WebRTC's/getUserMedia's responsibility at some point.

Re. TURN: ICE is the process that works out whether a specific client needs to relay through a TURN server. The question is: do you need to implement a TURN server? The answer is: yes, you need a TURN server. If you built a P2P app that you want to work for all users, you will always need a TURN server. You can run coturn on the same box that you serve your app from. Most likely a side project will never hit the scale requiring more than a $5 digitalocean box for TURN.

And yes, it should not be a surprise that products are time consuming to build :) WebRTC is plumbing; you probably were expecting something more like Jitsi.
I don't see how that reasoning applies to one, but not the other circumstance.
It's a non-issue, don't sweat it.
You mean fix one entire branch of the US government - the judicial branch. Or do you mean the Senate that has two senators regardless of population where someone in the Midwest has far more voting power than someone in a more populous state? Or do you mean gerrymandering?

It’s not libertarianism. It’s seeing the history of biased enforcement when it comes to the “War on Drugs” among other things but even with tech, we see the government would love to get access to data and in the case of the current administration “shut down Twitter”.

If the government had more control over the tech industry, who do you think they would go after?

Totally agree that formal and mathematical logic crosses over lots between math and philosophy folks (well, analytic philosophers and logicians). Categorizing books is pretty subjective. Looking at the table of contents, it feels like a work from someone working in the philosophy dept. There's an entire chapter for each of Modal Logic, Philosophy of Language, Intuitionism and Intuitionistic Logic, and Fallacies and Unfair Discussion Methods --- when I learned those things, I learned them from philosophy department courses. Certainly it was a very analytic philosophy department, so I'm totally on board with putting it under an analytic philosophy section. I seem to notice publishers and bookstores like to group religion and philosophy together though, so maybe that's why Springer did that. And yeah, I agree that it'd be a better fit for an analytic philosophy section.
I've heard of those, but it's interesting to me that you list those and not, say, Illumina.
Imagine: "A 20 yo runs across highway in heavy truck traffic, dies". Well, yes. There is an obvious risk, and you either acknowledge this risk and act accordingly, or get struck.

Fortunately, if you do a very bad investment, you can sell all your assets, go bankrupt, and keep your life. Too bad the poor guy chose to take his life. But this again looks like not doing enough homework.

This is very sad. I wish these things were written in large red letters on the signup page for a trading account, and one would have to type them in first person, like "I realize that I can lose all my possessions as a result of a bad trade" (no copy-paste allowed) to even accept the terms of service.

This is getting ridiculous and annoying.

When I hear about slavery, I think about the poor people that did not have any freedom, not about black people.
There have been african slaves in africa, asian slaves in asia, european slaves in europe and native american slaves in native american civilizations for thousands of years.

American people are projecting their very own and specific segregation problems onto the whole world by banning words universally useful.

Forbidding vocabulary like this only reduces the quality of debates on the long term and does not make anything better. That is how dictatorships works.

If you cannot say the words "slave" and "master", you cannot have a discussion about it, its history and influences on our society and on real people, because otherwise you would be deemed racist.
In my country it became racist and implicitly forbidden to say "black people" or "arab people" because otherwise you are instantly deemed to be racist. So now we cannot talk at all about this topic. Politicians certainly won't risk their career by talking about it. So nothing changes, and nothing can actually improve (including the lives or people living today), because we cannot talk about it...

I will continue to use words however I want.
Could Bruce Lee win a real fight?
On the flip side, if this trader instead made 700k on options, he'd be celebrated as a hero who beat the market at such a young age and Robinhood would be an empowering role in elevating the young and disenfranchised. That is just the reality of the market. I hope this is not setting up so that the powers that be, and the market makers can demonize trading and then regulate away all the new blood who wants to get in on their game.
Being able to trade with no experience and oversight is one of those things that seems like it should be illegal. I can't think of any way you can go so far in debt more quickly. Even if I tried to buy a bunch of cars or houses I can't afford I would just get rejected.
Why do you believe that cryptocurrencies are not much more than a pyramid scheme?
Robin Hood has various tricks allowing your buying power to be inflated artificially, there have been a bunch of reports about it.

It also appears RH users get margin accounts by default, at least from everything I've read. If that's true, it's probably the real problem.

In the EU retail traders are permitted access to margin, but brokers are required to eat any loss exceeding the value of the account. It's not enough, because it still means new "traders" are exposed to amplified volatility, thus ensuring their accounts will blow out much faster than they may have otherwise, and positions that might have recovered in a cash account get margin called and closed out at the worst possible moment.

Leverage/margin access should require similar levels of study as a private pilot's license
Does anyone know who this is and if there is a way to verify what he is saying is true?

I don’t know much about Robin Hood but people here seem to be indicating that it’s not possible to end up owing money like that.

The tweets also seem to advertise for two other twitter accounts that give investing advice.
Buddy, you can make all the "logical arguments" you want, but if you can't back up them up with evidence, you're just making guesses.
I'm going to delete my original comment because it is flat out misinformation. Thank you for correcting me.
He likely did a credit spread and one of the options exercised early. Robinhood shows that you owe $x, but if you look closer you have another option that guarantees that you'll get the stock to cover it, you just have to email robinhood support and tell them to exercise that option too. Very sad that he likely didn't even owe that $700k, just misunderstood the UI in his panic.

They probably ran up something like +$150k+ and then kept pushing it, used all margin to get multiples of this amount which went bad shortly thereby going deeply negative.

Live by the sword, die by the sword.

The answer is right there. Bankruptcy is legally a recourse of the credit extended by Robinhood, and it is legally not one of student loans. That may or may not be morally correct or good policy, but it's certainly the current state of the world.
Might be due to margins - i.e. buy/sell options with money borrowed from Robinhood.

I can imagine the reason could be the insufferable feeling of guilt and shame, especially if the poor trader e.g. lent someone else's money and now would leave them broke.

Hell if a kid owed me 700k, I would seriously consider putting them through college just to increase the chances of ever seeing that money again.
I use the same pattern, if only because I've not mastered the art of naming directories with clear and short names, so my $PWD tends to get rather long. Add in any git nonsense, and I end up line wrapping anyways.

Much cleaner to always put a newline after the $PWD
Something seems off here. The person would have had to have significant assets or collateral to end up negative; regardless of age and income.

It just doesn’t work like that.
I'm not really aware of a single way appimage would be better than flatpak. To get the integration and updating working you would need to install a tool and not having to install something for appimage is the only benefit I see over flatpak. It makes it easier to just quickly download and runs something but less convenient in the long run.

Also in the future I can see apps being built to actually use the permissions system in flatpak so it doesn't have to be disabled. Flatpak is a step forwards for linux where as appimage is restoring bad practices from windows.

They had no income; nothing to garnish. They'd enter bankrupcy and discharge the debt. Their credit would suck for 7 years and they'd lose assets that can be taken in bankrupcy (if they had any).
My general guidelines about AI (Machine learning, programming):

1: Computers can't read minds! Your algorithm might know that I like the Beatles because I listen to them a lot, but it can't predict that I woke up today craving to listen to some music from my childhood.

2: You don't know what you don't know! Your algorithm might make 24 frames per second film look smoother at 60 fps, but if something like wheel spokes move backwards at 24fps, it'll have a tough time getting the wheel to move the right way at 60fps.

3: Just because you have the information, doesn't mean you know how to write a program that can extract the knowledge you're looking for.

Which really means we need a super advanced AI with a worldview and context in order to automate certain kinds of information processing. I don't expect this anytime soon.
I would be very surprised to learn that RETURNING order is different from the order of rows in INSERT statement.

Some ORMs (at least SQLAlchemy) do that already, they can fill primary keys in your objects during single inserts, and in dicts during bulk insert.
Awesome, thanks for the pointers.
You're right, but due to Robinhood's terrible UI/UX, when you hold a spread and the short leg gets assigned, it shows your account as owing an astronomical amount. In reality, you have an opposite leg that gets exercised and you're only out the difference in the spread (which that risk is based on your account balance/margin/etc).

This kid didn't lose $700k, his account just shows -$700k until Monday morning when it will update with the other leg being exercised and he probably lost a few grand instead. Here's a similar situation where someone thought they lost $172k, when in reality they lost $2k. [1]. It's a combination of a shitty UI and people not understanding option spreads.

You seem to be more extreme version of me in that regard :) I'll sleep for 9-10 hours and end up on a 25-26 hour rhythm.

I can get myself to 24-hour rhythm with melatonin, which I do, but it doesn't reduce amount of sleep I need so I'm left with a shortened day.

Unfortunately, after getting used to waking up without alarm, I find getting up forcefully really painful. And I doubt it would help productivity much, because I'd be half-zombie if I do it more than 2 days in a row.
I did indeed skip some details in the article. In the case of Zsh, the output actually ends with `\r \r` which is probably meant to handle this exact case by having a space overwrite any marker in case the prompt doesn't.
Student loans are cheap and available because they can't be defaulted on. If lenders don't get those guarantees, they won't want to lend at the lower rates or approve people as easily.

Great little app. I'm using the web version and I really love its simplicity.

One thing I've noticed is that when I edit a note the url exposes the ids of my account and the note I'm editing; idk if it's right or wrong to do that, but I tend to hide any incrementing key in the url. I know I'm the twothousandth-something user of your app, you are the first, etc. Not a bad thing, but a thing I would avoid. Also a bot could scan your database very easily and I'm sure you don't want that. For indexing purposes (speaking about using your app as a blog), it's bad for seo to have two urls pointing to the same resource (/sites/1 == /alejandro). My go to solution is to use random uuid for anything user facing.

Keep up the good job!
I know others who make profit from borrowing leverage and bet that Robionhood is doing same.

What you propose is nice, but against platform financial interests.
Robinhood is in the business of encouraging poor investment decisions among the less-informed. Even outside of leverage and options, trading single stocks is extremely foolish for most investors.
Anecdotally, of my friend group in college (at a large state school in the US) everyone who was financially stable eventually graduated with a bachelors degree. 3 out of 4 of my friends who were paying themselves through college dropped out. Having a part time job and trying to go to school full time took a huge toll on them.

It was Bob. Rough transcript:

"We were surprised a little bit at how smooth things were off the pad. The space shuttle is a pretty rough ride heading into orbit with the SRBs, and our expectation was as we continued with the flight into second stage that things would basically get a lot smoother than the space shuttle did, but Dragon was huffing and puffing all the way into orbit and we were definitely driving and riding a dragon all the way up, and so it was not quite the same ride, the smooth ride, as the space shuttle was, up to MECO. A little bit less Gs, but a little bit more alive is probably the best way I would describe it."

Edit: Just noticed that that description is in the original article, too, fwiw

What "no code" is really about is "no figuring out the toolchain, deployment, integration with third parties, etc". For actually writing business logic, replacing code with drag and drop logic blocks is... not really helpful to anybody. But with all the crap that programmers actually spend our days dealing with removed from the picture, anybody can write their own business logic, even if they have to do it in gasp code.
Absolutely!

Humans can be real bastards and governments aren't magical solutions just as corporations aren't magically evil.

The question is about who can be held more accountable, who can be more feasibly removed from power and what kind of institution can be more promptly remedied.

We as moral actors could potentially change the laws of governance probably far easier than we could form a corporation to defeat ExxonMobil in the marketplace. Both should be easier, but that's another discussion.

Both governance and private capital are imperfect and both deserve criticism. Being a fan of either is a mistake.

> what’s the edge that China gets since NIH research gets published publicly anyway?

There's a lot of ways and it is dependent on what is being researched.

For example, if you are researching drugs you don't say everything about how to make that drug. In fact, you can't really in a 10 page report if you also want to show results (which is what the focus is on). Typically the "how" is kept more secret, because then it can be commercialized. This is their "secret sauce." Everyone can taste it and see it, but that doesn't mean you know how it is made and to recreate it takes a lot of time and research. If you made it first, you have a big head start, even if it doesn't stay secret for long. So the question as a US citizen here is "The US funded this research through tax payer money, do you want a Chinese company producing the drug or an American?" Or I can rephrase that as "Which country gets the economic benefits from production of said product?" Obviously a government doesn't like investing in something that another country is going to reap all the benefits from.

Researchers frequently have custom and specialty equipment. Frequently to invent things you need to invent other things along the way. You aren't going to publish a paper on the method you used to keep a solution at a constant temperature and mixing level, but that machine may be essential to making the product. In fact, many of the people in the lab would have no idea how to recreate that machine (only one person knows). So if pictures are being taken so that it can be reverse engineered, this is definitely academic espionage.

There's also academic scooping. As much as people don't talk about it, it happens a lot. Imagine working on a project for a year and then some other lab produces the same thing you have and publishes first. Your research can be done overnight because you need to be published. You might even have a better product but if it can be difficult to prove that yours is so much better that a rushed and lower quality product can win. This means they can also get the patents and rights to that thing if it is commercializable.

There's other ways too, but I believe these would be the most common.

> how do we get the benefits of the GPL - especially receiving things like source code - if we no longer have copyright?

It’s not obvious to me that enforceable copyleft licences have increased the availability of free software to such an extent as to outweigh the loss of freedom effected by normal copyrights. Abolishing copyright (or less radically, rejecting the prevailing interpretation of copyright law which says that software is a “literary work”) would do more to advance the four essential software freedoms than any copyleft licence. Notably, copyright is the only thing standing in the way of freedoms 2 and 3. As for freedom 1, companies would still treat their source code as a trade secret, but without copyright they’d have no recourse against people republishing leaked source code, which could then be incorporated into free software projects.
