One of the first times I tried using an Instant Pot, I was also using a starter (powdered, commercial) I'd not used before. It turned to cheese curds. I came to the conclusion that the Instant Pot got too hot for that particular culture. So, yes - it could be a combo of both temp and culture causing your lumpiness. I've noticed too with a different culture (yesterday's yogurt) that even after mixing thoroughly, it seems like it clumps back together and I've not been able to discern why.
I am not fan of the DEA, but this trend of generating bad PR for tech providers of governmental agencies ridiculous. Attack the agency or vote in politicians to change or dismantle them. As of 2020 Millennials are the largest adult generation. They have more voting power than the Boomers, if they actually get out and vote.

If he had gambled and lost $700+k then I'm kind of with you, but he hadn't. When it all shook out he might have secured a small profit or taken a loss proportional to his original stake ($16k).

It's showing the life changing loss without giving the user sufficient context or insight into what's happening that's the problem.
The US election system is a much narrower target than "democracy". It's possible to get big results by tipping over a small minority of people.

They have several extra responsibilities: ensuring your trades are handled fairly, the price information you're provided is reasonably accurate, and reasonably ensuring that you are generally capable of understanding what you're doing and the risks involved.

Ensuring you don't lose money, or overreact to numbers on a screen, are not among them.

I feel terrible for the kid. Even though he should have been well aware of what to expect in this situation, it seems like common sense that RH (or any trading software) should have some UI indication when the balance shown is a partially settled trade. It is an accounting reality - yes for a bit his account is really -$700k - but even if you know that, opening the screen and seeing it without some caveat is like a prank. Got you! You're actually not bankrupt. Seems unnecessary.
Do they even still make CRTs, or are you using a really old one?

It's certainly true that the dreaded title fever is a power no mortal can reckon with, only bow before:

https://hn.algolia.com/?sort=byDate&dateRange=all&type=comme...

I guarantee, though, that the solution you mention would make the problem worse. Actually, it's not viable at all, because there's way too much variance in what people put in <title>. It's an HTML jungle out there. But even if you could halfways do it, the titles on the front page would then be so provocative that title fever would be much worse than it is now. And of course there would be a gaping loophole for people to say whatever they wanted on HN's front page just by putting it in <title>. Don't think that wouldn't get abused!

The question is how to minimize all the offtopicness, nitpicking, and bikeshedding that flares up about titles. HN's approach is: (1) use the article's original title unless it is misleading or linkbait; (2) failing that, edit the title to be accurate and neutral, preferably using representative language from the article; (3) if users object, flex until the objections subside; (4) keep the front page 'bookish' (pg's original word).

This is basically an optimization problem (note the word "minimize" above). We learned (3) through trial and error as the best solution so far: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=17496011. It would seem to have an obvious vulnerability: what if some users demand one change while other users demand the opposite change? Then we'd get a non-converging sequence and the objections would never subside. In practice, though, this almost never happens, and if it does then you can point out that it's happening and people will accept a best-faith arbitrary choice.

There's a deeper aspect too. The passion for titles is so intense that if we simply flex in response to objections, people feel heard, and immediately feel better. So it doesn't matter so much what the title edit precisely is, as long as it's good enough, because it demonstrates that there is an outlet for those feelings and that readers can actually affect the state of HN's front page.
More to the point: which of those has true e2e encryption?
For real. Many of the anti-Google comments here are injecting their own fantasies for what this lawsuit could be about, celebrating it as some kind of victory towards user privacy - which, to be fair, is a discussion that needs to be had - but this lawsuit isn't that.

This lawsuit is literally "I think incognito mode should specifically stop Google Analytics, a website feature, from tracking me" even though the first thing you see when you open an incognito window is that "this doesn't stop websites from tracking you."

What do they want Google to do, lean in further towards monopolistic abuse and give Chrome Incognito special treatment when its users are on a site using Google Analytics?

while I do think robinhood should have better interface / logic, I see this as an issue with the person who committed suicide.

Everything you said + the fact they thought it was a better option to kill themselves instead of contacting robinhood? finding out what their options were? (not trying to pun)

> "His final note, filled with anger toward Robinhood, says that he had “no clue” what he was doing."

yeah, that's true on so many levels. people will try to use stories like this to take freedoms away from everyone else to 'only let the experts deal with it'. at the very least though, I suspect robinhood will fix that particular interface issue.

> I don't really think 120Hz is that big a deal

IMO 120 Hz monitors are overrated for pretty much everything except for FPS games (and similar fast-paced interactive titles).

I have a 144 Hz display and I would not want to go back to a 60 Hz display for gaming. At some point, my monitor changed to a 60 Hz refresh rate without telling me after some driver update. The first time I played Overwatch after that happened I could immediately tell that something was wrong, since the game just didn't feel as responsive and smooth as it usually does.
PHP is quite fast actually. Its not Go fast but for an interpreted language its doing really well, runs circles round Ruby for example which was very popular for web apps.
It was at this point I realized the entire premise of the article was a very long-winded way of saying "I like using high DPI monitors when I code". And then tossing in a bunch of technical details to make it sound like a "fact".
Before "retina" apple used TN and lower res displays on their mbp (compare WUXGA dreamcolor for hp or flexview on thinkpads).

They were not the first. That would be Sony Vaio for hidpi and ultrabooks and ibm and hp for hires ips. Apple were the first widely successful ones.
This is awesome, and as the title says, very left field. I wonder what visuals would be produced if you could specify that a given parameter linearly tracks across a parameter space. Some crazy animation?

Another way of looking at it is that Zoom is learning from its mistakes and making improvements that the market demands.

I'm no Zoom fan (I'd even use BlueJeans first), but people on HN are always so eager to crucify a company for its past. If it made mistakes, get out the tar and feathers! If it doesn't fix those mistakes, get out more tar and feathers! If it fixes the mistakes, even more tar and feathers!

May favourite dev environment was a 7" Android 4 running Debian. I got plenty done with an external keyboard.

I bang away at my mba 13" 2013 these days and the only real gripe i have is the lack of delete & backspace keys combo: I've never gotten comfortable without it.

That said, the only reason i could possibly use more screen real estate is web debugging. But to me that's more of an indictment of the environment I'm "coding" in.

The only time ever needed two monitors was back writing 3d games on a 3dfx (before nvidia head hunted their engineers) and needed to debug something while running full screen.

While i understand this argumentation, to me, monitors, their size & their number have always been pretty much...meh. instead it's the quality of the monitor itself (refresh rates, contrast, brightness)

What's ridiculous about it? Why is attacking the agency fair game but you can't attack the company?
Okay look... it's really terrible and robinhood can improve their interface. However, this kid also probably had some kind of anxiety problem. Most people in this situation would panic, but most would not take their own life. We cannot expect companies (or anyone) to insulate us from the realities of life.

The lesson of the story is ultimately that... if you can't handle the heat, please, for the love of everything good, don't enter the kitchen. Options are a gamble. Everyone knows that. It's written in every article on options trading.
It's amazing to me that from the local to (inter)national level there is no real requirement for companies to price this cost into production.

You're using education in an ambiguous way here. Either you're including vocational training, in which case the argument for universal college doesn't follow, or you only mean college, in which case the premise is false.
I suppose it might be worth reexamining. Last time I used etrade it was a flat 10 dollar txn fee, which was absolutely ridiculous for people like me who just play around with funmoney. Robinhood was perfect for my needs.

These landowners tried to get money out of their property, and incorrectly assessed the expected outcome. Out of all the "victims", I am least sympathetic to the school district; they are a sophisticated entity, which had a significant amount of money on the line, and should have been smarter. This is an indictment of foolish or incompetent school officials (and perhaps other landowners), not of the bankruptcy system or corporations at large.

Simply put, the school officials made a bet and lost.

If I invest $1, could I not get that $1 back?

Of course. You buy a very risky "investment" using your 401K, that investment goes bust, and you get back...zero divided by zero...carry the zero...you get back zero dollars from your initial investment of $1.
> Am I reading this correctly and he really wasn't in the hole badly, but a crappy presentation of information broke him?

Yes, but I think it's important to note that every other broker I've used presents the information in the same way and the way they are displaying the info is an accurate representation of the state of the account at that moment.

Blaming bad UI is the easy way out here. Robinhood should take the blame for this, but not because of bad UI. Robinhood should be at fault because the knowingly allow tons of "investors" to have options trading access with little or no screening and verification.

Blaming the UI here would be like blaming a single specific gun maker for a mass shooting, when the real question you should be asking is how did this person get a gun at all?
They are probably using keybase ;)
> Will a person who turns these ads off even UNDERSTAND that they're not allowing

Do you not find this approach patronizing?

I'm not jesting, your comments are well-informed and I am better off for having read them. Still I am curious why is it that you do not believe that people can make reasonable choices about content blocking and correctly interpret "sensitive topics that are heavily debated, may influence the outcome of an election or result in/relate to existing or proposed legislation.".
"This redundancy failed us and resulted in an overload situation that was then compounded by other factors" seems like those other factors may have been more important too.
Very tragic, but at the age of 20, it's not like you have much capital as it is - one would declare bankruptcy and continue onwards. It's not like Robinhood was going to send the mafia after his family if he didn't come up with the money.
On behalf of future searchers trying to avoid the "nvm I figured it out" problem, what was the answer?
Not a fan of the DEA or any TLA for that matter. However, I believe we need to do this right and police everything which is morally questionable. Including but not limited to health insurers, student loan companies, high frequency trading and wage slavers (which is most retailers).

I think people have their heart in the right place. But the hate shouldn't be directed at MSFT in my opinion but on the legislators and ultimately at the DEA. Boycotting Microsoft for trying to get a government contract will not solve shit. Ultimately, the government can (and does) seed private companies to do their shady tech shit if Microsoft or some tech giant refuses to provide it.
If you are on macOS, all is good. Never had a problem with any of my 4 monitors (3x4K, 1x5K). I set the scaling to a size I like, and the text is super crisp. I don't see how any programmer can NOT like that.
That's the most nonsensical idea I've heard from a non-politician in recent memory (apologies if I have made an incorrect assumption about your employment).

What we have instead of terrible ideas like this, are laws. Unfortunately these are often designed by the same nonsensemongers mentioned above, but they are the only reasonable recourse.
Does anyone else think that in an awful way this story is incredible advertising for Robinhood? How many young people are going to read this story and think they can trade 730K on margin? If you’re already broke there isn’t much downside, but relatively unlimited upside.

Well, I said, that it is good for a subset of those who make money on it.

Major chess tournaments, for instance, are quite specific thing, it won't really notice these new 40k Hikaru's viewers, as money source is different. And professional full-format chess won't ever be popular thing to watch anyway, it isn't football or even CS:GO, it isn't really watchable even for somewhat good players.
yup. robinhood SUCKS at handling short term options spreads. if a leg gets exercised and you all of a sudden own or have to sell a ton of stock, they don't tell you the other leg will get exercised to cover. they just let you stew with the weird after effects in your account. the founders and insiders are all going to be extraordinarily wealthy while things like this happen and some lives are outright ruined or kinda ruined.

Have you been to any of the regions where these drugs are produced? They aren't victimless crimes. The drug trade creates very real social problems in both the regions they're produced and where they're consumed. Now, maybe certain policies and the war on drugs create more problems than they solve, but the problems they aim to address are very real, and do have victims associated with them.

How I do it:

1. Heat 14oz of milk for 2 minutes in a 700W microwave
2. Add 4oz of cold milk to a container
3. Add 2 spoons of Yogurt (I use Pavel's full cream) to the cold milk and mix
4. Pour the hot milk in the container and stir it
5. Put away in a place where the temperature won't fluctuate much and container won't be disturbed for next 12-18 hour.
I use an oven for this with no per-heating or temperature control.
yes, fair enough. I suppose they had to draw the line somewhere.

I'm kind of surprised they decided to take this route. I'm guessing they are trying to get ahead of future regulation by governments.

It would be trivial to solve by still requiring the IAP, but allowing developers to inform the user that another price is available on the web.

You'd still get the convenience of subscribing through the app if you want it (and paying more for it), but you'd be aware of the alternative. After all, if Apple defends their policies as user protection, they shouldn't be opposed to more information being given.
