> Not exactly, the current shareholders are getting paid interest to loan out their shares to short sellers.

I don't believe Robinhood traders get this benefit. A premium service like Interactive Brokers provides the ability to lend shares. Sophisticated investors buying/selling and trying to make money through bankruptcy is fine.

The issue I have is that normal, retail investors, are going to be caught up in this game. Under traditional retailer strategy (ie: buy and hold, and/or dollar cost averaging), the retail investor is going to be wiped out here.

> Or doing all that indirectly through options. If you know that the stock will still be worth 12 cents in 4 months, that can earn a fortune.

You don't need to own any shares to buy or sell options. You can play the options market whenever you feel like.
Wil Shipley is an excellent developer and his points are excellent as well.

Agreed completely about ads in the app store - they are basically worthless and often very annoying and spammy.

I particularly concur with subscription vs. upgrade pricing. I utterly despise subscriptions, and I want to have the option to pay an incremental fee for an upgrade if I want to rather than having to purchase a new version of the app!

Yeah, but when someone mentions some system is TC they are not claiming input/output is easy to encode.

This is the MO of news journalism (well, at least a subset). There's a narrative that sells ("big corp = bad, fire person for complaining to zuck") but they still typically include a little detail in the article ("actually fired for harrassing coworker") below the lede.

"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words.

If you can get them to see the world as you do, they will think as you do. Comprehension follows perception." --Philip K. Dick

Indeed. With "most stocks" you have to do lots of work to figure out if they're actually insolvent. With HTZ, they've gone through the hassle of telling you up front.

Those aren't mutually exclusive. Middle school civics class explanations of the electoral college are fine. You can understand the reasons the electoral college was created and still oppose the fact that there have been multiple recent cases where the electoral college went against the popular vote. And, not that it's particularly relevant, but I highly doubt the very people who designed the electoral college would approve of its use when it seems to routinely elect someone who lost the popular vote.

"Users holding" is a pointless metric. RH has no commissions.

The fact that most devs use _ to work around it surely suggests that it was a pointless idea in the first place. Of all the barmy ideas to make a programming language unique this surely tops the list. As for escaped opening brackets you have to ask why no other language found this necessary. Is the Swift parser really so dumb? These 2 language features prove that however clever a language creator may be he/she can end-up producing features which are frankly absurd.

Publicly shaming the guy for not wanting to take a public stance? Sounds pretty close to harassment the way these Twitter brigades can go.
Maybe I'm getting old but I'm seeing some very troubling signs with the current social climate. Cancelling shows, destroying monuments, getting people removed from their jobs, and getting people silenced on social media all due to not agreeing with their worldview. It seems very much like the Nazi students burning books that didn't agree with their worldview.

I agree that black people have been dealt a really shit hand in the US and it's going to take something to really shake the system to improve the lives of the average black person. Globalisation has stripped away a lot of the good jobs they could work with a lower socioeconomic background. Relaxed gun laws puts the police on edge, who react with strong tactics. No good social safety nets for income or health. It's going to take a huge amount of funding and time to drag the community out of the poverty cycle and a lot of people seem unwilling to spend this money.
In this case, it's a public open source project that was being discussed. That both people are also Facebook developers (and from what I can tell both worked on the project as part of their job), doesn't seem particularly relevant.

Ask HN: Command line tool like Pandas?
I'm looking for recommendations for a tool for quickly processing columnar data from the command line. The reason that I mention pandas is because that's the tool I'm currently most familiar with. It'd be nice to avoid learning a lot of new syntax (e.g. picking up awk). There are a lot of scenarios where Pandas isn't optimal, and I'd like to also learn another cli data processor. Any suggestions?

Currently having a blast with Haskell. Rust is probably my favorite overall, however, for pure fun: Scheme.

- Scheme: pure fun. Pairs well with, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs

- Elixir: also a lot of fun, I really enjoy the elixir help-docs/man-pages... Really ergonomic, almost no hassle.

- Haskell: endless fun; tbh, for me, setting up a Haskell environment wasn’t what I hoped it’d be. It’s getting there, but if you’ve used Cargo (rust) or Mix (elixir) and expect to have a similarly smooth experience in Haskell, you’re going to have to work for it.

- ReasonML: I’m pretty excited about this and interested to see how it goes. I’m a big fan of OCaml-flavored languages.

- Racket or Clojure: both are cool, docs/guides for both are great. The online Clojure docs/reference are fantastic. Same with racket.

If you’re leaning towards F#, try to lean Scala. Just my 2cents.

> even $0.99 is "expensive" for most people these days

In my experience, this is not really true - most people (including myself) just cannot find these apps and instead see only subscription ones which seems to be the new trend.

The last 7 apps I downloaded on iOS wanted a $5-10/mo monthly subscription, and I literally _cannot_ purchase the app. And I'm talking about really basic zero-infrastructure apps:

- 2 transcriber apps that use iOS's native speech recognition functionality only (no server).

- A Snapchat equivalent that puts beards and other funny things on a picture of your face.

- A photo collage maker.

- A photo effects editor.

- An app that turns live pictures into gifs (really?)

If you had any suggestion for the website of an open source project, wouldn't you discuss that publicly? I don't think you would privately contact the single person who is in control of the project's website, at least not initially.
On the contrary, I think the electoral college was introduced precisely to ensure that the person who won the election was not who would win the popular vote.
Inconsistent naming standards hurts everyone. Now some repositories will have master branches while others will have them named something else, it makes things harder to work with. If every developer spends just a minute wondering where the main branch is before realizing the new naming standards, that is still a lifetimes worth of time lost due to this change.
ha, glad to see at least one sane person here. i don't think your average HN bubble-boy realizes how unorganized these folks are.
They don't have the numbers to impose the authoritarianism they seek (to fully remake things in the way they see fit), so the rampant threats and intimidation are meant to force joining. The best way to accomplish that, is to threaten a person's livelihood, which threatens their ability to exist. They started by just doing social ostracising, social threats of exclusion, and now they've moved on to targeting livelihoods.

Cancel culture is part of this livelihood targeting shift. Behave exactly the way we say, or you're "problematic" and we'll kill your life. And we'll cheer and dance like soulless monsters in the tweet threads while you suffer. It's going to get a lot more aggressive yet, until a line gets drawn by the companies that comply too easily with the cancel demands.

The malignant dictatorship of social media rage in the US is becoming insufferable. It's probably going to require government regulation to stop it.
> In parapgraph 29 of the response

Could you refer to page number or something? I'm not going through counting paragraphs. I searched for "publisher ad serving" and didn't find it, and searched for "Facebook" and didn't find anything that seemed to sound like what you are talking about.

I don't understand the gist of your comments here either. You asked me why Google didn't refer to competitors in their response, but now you say that they do?

> Not sure I understand what you are thinking regarding the "policy choice" idea.

"they don't want to be seen as pointing regulators at competitors."

I don't know if I'd go as far as to say "wrong" but certainly the less processing a food has, the better, primarily because you get to retain more of the fiber content (and so the food is more filling).
> You mean their biological clock is ticking to get kids?

Partially, but the fact that the men I know are more likely to want deeper relationships too suggests that it's not entirely due to that. Aging changes preferences: most people also have fewer, closer friends as they age too.

> you can phase shift/delay signals however you wish and it should not add distortion.

Digital audio sampling rates and resolution are far higher than the limits of perception, so there's sufficient resolution to shift by eg. half a wavelength for noise cancelling or by fractions of a wavelength for beamforming (at least, if you use the highest sample rates and resolution supported by your equipment, rather than the CD audio standard default settings).

The spatial resolution of computer graphics does not yet have such comfortable headroom. In the best cases, they've caught up to normal human visual acuity but usually not vernier acuity. Once displays outpace eyeballs to the same extent that soundcards outpace ears, it will be possible to shift an image by 1mm and have it remain as sharp-looking as the original—because a sharp edge smeared across several pixels will still be sharp enough to look "perfectly sharp" to a human.
I'm not them, but I suspect that they're slowly switching not because of its slightly better abstract data types but because it offers better memory safety.
Superhuman?
Not the Senate?

The Senate results in huge vote power discrepancies.
Oh, I'm personally against the electoral college (have been since I was a kid). However, it's still not mob rule, by the virtue of the fact that mob rule is necessarily non-legal, while the electoral college is the essence of "legal".

And the people who set up electoral college (the authors of the constitution) explicitly added a mechanism to change the system via amendments (it's just very hard to get one passed).

Clearly, the college was a compromise the authors of the constitution felt that had to make to create the US. I bet a lot of them didn't like it.

When you say routinely: only 5 presidents have been elected without the majority of the popular vote, spread throughout a couple hundred years.

At best, you're never going to change somebody's mind in a political discussion (you can only change people who are not directly participating), and at worst, there's the risk of being raked over the coils by HR or even losing your job.
Yep. This guy is the textbook definition of toxic. There is nothing worse than people who want to inflict their own opinion on others. Yeah you can think of Trumps tweets what you want, censorship is a big thing too you know... The problem is not Trumps tweets, its that 40% of Americans are supporting Trump that should worry us. But then again, you can't inflict your own opinion on others. The only way to do something useful here is to educate people about how wrong they are in supporting Trump.
He shouldn’t have been fired I think, but he also shouldn’t be a tattle-tale against his co-workers. We need solidarity with our co-workers + an end to at-will employment.

Relatedly (but not specific to this situation), if we had stronger employment guarantees people probably wouldn’t taddle to try to get people fired as much. Win-win-win all around.
Power discrepancies and mob rule are different things.
