> Do you see why people are mad?

Because it's an extremely hard problem, and it's easier to be abstractly mad and hope someone else solves it, than to come up with concrete practical effective solutions?
Robinhood definitely has some questionable tactics but it may actually be a positive. Much better to gain financial literacy when you only have a few thousand, and how else do kids or young adults gain the knowledge, especially if they don't have financially literate parents? Schools don't teach even rudimentary finance.

It's very hard to get ahead financially without understanding the power of compound interest or the importance of putting your money to work for you.
The entire stock market is just one big, gamified casino. It’s completely decoupled from the actual performance of any company. I do agree that they should not be letting people that don’t know what they are doing get access to margin trading and leveraged instruments though. That can be disastrous.
I think the biggest reason is demographic in nature: The rapidly expanding population of professional programmers means that programmers are regularly building their skills on third-hand advice while simultaneously encountering situations nobody they know has seen.

In such a climate, they aren't really competing for the job on the basis of merit, so much as they are posturing that they are a good candidate - because they learned that that's what one does to get work and protect their family. And there is so little expertise around that nobody can call them out. When they get hired, the posturing turns into gatekeeping in short order. They aren't curious about the work, they just want to keep the position. When you fill the ranks with uncurious individuals you get stagnation, because nobody is pushing them forward.

In other professions the process of education and certification cuts most of these people out early on, which comes with its own downsides but does impose some minimum standard of capability which they may go on to use or misuse. But the problem in programming is that the tools of programming address a multitude of problem domains, outstripping what could be reasonably certified - that's why the profession has gotten so big, so quickly. It's all research, all the time - independent, unverified, unscientific research.

In response to this we've ended up with the whiteboard coding interview, which basically aims to do the task of certification within the span of a few hours. It's not very good at that - these interviews are run in an inconsistent and often unprofessional manner too.
I can see several logical counter examples of power on a basic level that the thesis isn't consistent or sensible. "Equality" would rely upon too many circumstances to be universal or solveable.

Take 7 bigotted against Y of power X each and add an 8th Y person of power X as well. They could be lynched by them trivially. If they had 7X power he could only be matched if the bigots worked in perfect unision to combine. Otherwise he would be the effective leading power.

If we are dealing with counterfactual root solutions why not use a hypothetical world where violence is literally impossible? It would be more self consistent and just as possible.
That is exactly part of the problem, though. The thing about systemic racism and sexism, versus just regular racism and sexism, is that they're entangled (or worse, encoded) into the existing systems. You can't really solve the issues without unraveling the systems.

Regular racism and sexism is when the reason you're not given a chance is because of direct racial or gender-based bias. Systemic racism and sexism can additionally include scenarios where the systems in place (such as the private Ivy League club) might not necessarily be intentionally racist or sexist, but rather just incidentally racist or sexist.

From the article, when a venture fund hides their email or contact information, that's not directly racist or sexist. However, if it prevents people outside of your existing network from contacting you, and your existing network happens to be underrepresented on the basis of color or gender, then it's certainly going to help perpetuate the already-existing under-representation in your network, regardless of whatever the root cause of it may be.

Flutter only falls back on the canvas, it avoids using anything but html elements if it can. Fancy animations tend to resort to the canvas
complete bs
I had one of the responses questioning the story (I wrote it would be more persuasive with the pitch deck or an explanation for why the app was in VC territory)

But I completely agree with you about the hypocrisy of asking for emails from black founders and then ignoring them.

And also agree that requiring a warm intro as the only way to reach a VC is a real barrier. It may be a good test (“Can you hustle enough to reach me”), but is objectively harder if you’re not in a certain set.
Enabling Serverless Applications at Square
I've made about 300% profit since last summer. I don't have any special knowledge of finance. It's not some hugely complicated thing.

We don't actually need social media marketers doing a PR campaign to warn us. Get a better excuse.

We haven't reached perfection yet (that's why we're still in beta), but our goal is to be _very_ different to Flash in these kinds of areas.

Here's an example of text fields: https://gallery.flutter.dev/#/demo/text-field

Right-click and you have access to the browser context menu; choose Inspect and you can see a <textarea> or <input> control.
> You don't "train" your UI, neural nets won't directly consume audio or spit out encoded audio

I'm not an expert, but I thought pictures and audio were one of the few places where you could feed raw inputs into a neural net and get good results? Or am I wrong and we instead feed in some pre-processed version?
Pipeline Design Patterns for Continuous Delivery
>Isn't trading a commodity technology?

The rapid consumption RH has of younger retail market seems to imply the answer is firmly "no". The backend of sending orders to exchanges without caring much about latency is surely simple, but the UI and UX clearly had plenty of room for improvement.
The saddest “Just Ship It” story
Can you explain how my "values" celebrate global human labor trafficking?
No, I mean, in what way can this feature be implemented and avoid sharing any PII (assuming the list itself is not PII, since that list could potentially be the same used by other users)? What about a text file hosted somewhere, and the only identifiable information is the cookie containing the link to that file?
The author's solution is to shift the problem of uniqueness of usernames to email, as if email is less likely to change than a site-specific username.

The opposite is actually true - there are many reasons to change your email, while changing your username on the vast majority of websites is simply unnecessary (e.g. anything without a social component, such as banks, shops, Healthcare providers etc.).

Not to mention, if you don't have a system for ensuring unique usernames, you also shift the burden of ensuring identity to your other users, who now have to understand how to distinguish different users with the same name.
Thanks. That sounds about what I expected.
It replaced Project Atomic for them, some parts from atomic ended up in core os though.

That is a pretty ironic given the sentiment is given from actual slavers who justify it over their ancestors not fighting the machines.
Out of curiousity, what happens with a 123 share order? Are 100 subject to those rules and 23 are not or?
I don't think that "search quality" as perceived by end users is the metric that Google is trying to optimize - my guess is that their real goal is to maximize revenue from ads. Now if Google's ad revenue were to start declining, that would make their executives fear for their jobs.
M1 deserves some credit for designing something in the same space, but for a different market, and encouraging different behavior. They built the app around setting it and forgetting it, making day trading impossible, and auto balancing. You set percentages, and when you deposit or autodeposit, it buys whatever proportion is the shortest. You can active pick stocks or index etfs, but the only proper way to use the tool is buy and hold. More firms would be wise to offer that kind of simplicity, without having to manage WHICH shares to buy.

It gives people a similar experience to buying a Total Stock Market ETF, but still lets them have some runway to be foolish. The 30% nanny state of investing software.
Trading options is gambling. It is.

Just because TDAmeritrade has a very spartan UX doesn't mean people haven't made very stupid trades on it.

Churches Emerge as Major Source of Coronavirus Cases
Of all the possible explanations, "racism" seems especially unlikely, given that so many in tech are Asians. Or is this some new kind of racism, where in tech it's "pro-Asian anti-black" racism while in sports (in particular basketball) it's "anti-Asian pro-black"? Occam's Razor says it's not racism.
What’s annoying is that space shouldn’t be an issue at all, these secrets are tiny. Instead of folders, they should be tags, with the ability to grant access and sort by those tags (IMHO as a Bitwarden paying customer).

I hope Apple rolls out their iOS 14 keychain improvements soon, and supports family sharing/delegation/access controls based on the family primitives in iCloud, so we can bounce from Bitwarden.
> Instead of looking at it that way, consider a different frame. Both companies target the same customer: affluent millennials who like to workout and stare at themselves in a mirror.

Are they kidding though? I'd s/millennials/people, but otherwise I think there's some truth there. Since that kind of exercise instruction and motivation can be delivered via a TV or laptop.

At the minimum, capture market share.
AFAIK there isn't much (if any) evidence of ocean-going vessels in pre-Colombian South America. So probably not.
Ah that’s almost exactly the same timeframe as the Android reviews.
What a crappy framing. From a publicly traded company that benefits from the stock market, no less.

The stock market is soaring, despite millions being out of work in the US. The US has two different economies, and I'm all for anything that gives the latter group the same tools the former group has.

Why should only rich people who know how to navigate beige clunky 1990s websites, or whose parents give them the number to their investment guy, be the only ones who get to trade?

And the frustrating part of this article is that they aren't saying trading is inherently risky, but rather that a certain group shouldn't be allowed to? It's a cliche that stock traders were jumping out of windows in 1929, but nobody said "we should shut down the stock market".

Everything can be overdone... gambling, sugar, video games. Why focus on the few people who take it too far, rather than the millions who now have the same access to wealth building that rich old people do?
Intel details Thunderbolt 4: Required DMA protection, longer cables, and more
I didn't say adversarial review. I said publishing papers from authors who explicitly disclaim that they do not have access to their own data any more. Because that's what this publication did. They asked for the data, the hoaxsters claimed that they lost the data, and the journal published the paper anyway.

If what you say is true, that reviewers don't bother reviewing the actual data, then mistakes like missing a decimal point and reporting figures an order of magnitude off would not be caught. That would be astounding, but fortunately most of my coworkers who have experience in academia do not corroborate your claim that reviewers don't bother to look at the data used to produce the paper.
That's a pretty damn bad "worst case"
Germany and Japan being two axis powers is so irrelevant to the given topic... GPT-2 is probably smarter than you if this is all the skill you have in correlation.
It doesn't make logical sense.

I suspect this misuse is due to the early 12th-16th century English population's ignorance of the complexity of global spice markets and black pepper being one of the first popularized spices once trade routes expanded.

Peppery would make much more sense.
to me it seems the suggestion is to allow aliases (nicknames, images, utf, qr-code, text) and stick with numerical ids (or whatever you use as the true primary key, which can be email or phone number i guess, but hope not).

Even hints that for directories, etc at the end.
PQShield raises $7M for quantum-ready cryptographic security solutions
Spot on about unreasonable expectations; omne ignotum pro magnifico est always pokes its head when guessing on unfamiliar processes and procedures and what not. So funny how human nature when it assumes, assumes big grand intensive things! I'm frequently guilty of it myself. This is news to me about the reasonable costs absorbed from peer review, makes so much sense the level of vetting that's employed.
Maybe its VCs responsibility to respect what they say in public and give disadvantaged founders the extra support and consideration they said out loud in public?

Companies can't be doing plenty if they say 'we will help this imbalance' and then don't.
Maybe the answer is that you buy display time, but with no keywords. Like in the real world, everyone will see the ad.

Or you can just buy ads for a given "theme" and the search engine will try to interpret queries and assign theme the most close theme, displaying relevant ads.
Usually for an API it indicates a breaking change. In this case the removal of some functions which might require refactoring on the consumers end.
Someone in the thread linked a Tim O’Reilly interview where his partner pursued the “invest more in women and people of color” strategy and it seems to be working for him.

In addition to diversity, he also selected different types of businesses. More medium size, not the rocketships.

The author's point about VC firms providing no contact information disproportionately impacting minority founders who don't have network connections is also a good one, and fixable.
Like I said, often it's not that simple. Each iteration on re-inventing the wheel usually incorporates some new lessons learned. I won't disagree that more perspective on history would be a good thing, but that's no reason to dismiss it all wholesale.
Did you try the IB mobile app? It has quite a nice UI compared to the desktop trading software. For example the option chain builder is very easy to use on the app. Obviously if you need all the advanced features then the app will not be good enough.
For someone who wants to get started messing around with webgl I would recommend http://regl.party/. I found it easier to work with webgl by learning about the concepts from tutorials like https://webglfundamentals.org/ but then use regl for my actual coding, because you still need to understand the way webgl works but the API regl exposes is much more ergonomic.

Yup.

There is a reason why Boom Supersonic is only targeting a plane that comfortably seats 50.
There's a problem with using email addresses as IDs which has nothing to do with Unicode: Is frobozz@example.com the same as frobozz@example.com? Don't bother comparing bytes: What's changed is the time, and who owns the frobozz@example.com email account. Names need to have some kind of stability over time to be useful, and need to have some mechanism whereby they can be changed gracefully if they need to be. Email addresses have neither of those properties.

Mailing addresses have the same problems to some extent, but at least most mail systems should have some concept of forwarding addresses by now. Email is never going to.
The high figure compared to other medias need to be put in perspective.
It's possible that a lot of content is just a duplication for different languages.

Where a movie can get subtitles or dubbing, where a music don't need any translation, an English podcast will only be listened by people fluent in English and will need to be adapted for other languages, either by the original podcaster or by a local one without any fear of copyright infringement.

Thus it's hard to directly compare movies, music and podcasts figures together.
Reddcoin (RDD) Core v3.10.1 – Recommended Upgrade to Core – Reddcoin.com
That's the sort of knowledge that only comes with experience. Inexperienced people need to get burned a few times before they are ready to listen.

I have plenty of experience in this, both my own behavior and that of many people I know.
They are not "traders". They are kids speculating.

Leveraged exposure to the stock market and the obsession with leveraged property are symptomatic of the fact that doing wealth creating jobs no longer pays enough to lead a decent life.

It's given us Trump, it's also totally brought the UK to its knees.

The rentier culture of wealth appropriation over wealth creation has destroyed the West.
Same here. FF on Mac. I’ve been using it since lockdown began in the UK in March. It’s been really handy to keep BBC News in the corner of the screen when the Government was doing daily briefings.

I had read that too and I do not understand at all. What is openjdk beyond a runtime VM ? They do not use what truly qualify as openjdk otherwise they would have C2 and G1 and therefore true java 8+ support, for free.
> How much does a Vegas casino let the average person gamble that they don't already have?

Do people not just gamble on credit? I highly doubt casinos care about the average person's financials, as long as the money ends in their pockets.

I see no difference between the stock market and gambling, sure there's "smart strategies" to the stock market but at the end of the day it's the same result for anyone with a gambling addiction to either.

Nuclear weapon proliferation is actually two risks fighting each other for total risk curves fighting each other - conventional war prevention and irrational actor risk. More proliferation prevents conventional wars. Pakistan and India have limited themselves to skirmishes at worst. However the more proliferation the greater the risk of a suicidal actor who doesn't care about or seeks mutually assued destruction.

If you want world peace betweeen nations at any cost give every nation ICBMs and nuclear warheads sufficient to break through enough of everyone's defenses - it will last unless and until thermonuclear war starts.
The great book Pathway of the Birds, about Polynesian voyaging, navigation and settlement, mentions the possibility of travel to the South American mainline. I don't remember the details, but the winds and currents support travel east and then north along the coast, then back west further north.
Yep. Though it's a lot trickier than just bind/unbind, e.g. if you have a VAO bound, you need to unbind the VAO before binding a vertex buffer, or else you might have overwritten the VAO's vertex buffer binding slot. And I've encountered many, many similar cases like that and edge cases, especially around framebuffer management.

The OpenGL programming model is unfortunate.
I hadn’t heard of Mirror prior to this acquisition but I’m a big Peloton fan.

I used to do a lot of YouTube fitness videos but the Peloton classes are better. Full Netflix quality HD, no preroll commercials, constant stream of new workouts that I don’t have to search around for, etc.

I assume Mirror offers something similar. If $40/month sounds expensive keep in mind many of us compare fitness expenses to the $300/month gym memberships we were paying for prior to Covid.
Robinhood (RH) cannot cure stupidity. The only thing, they did was to kill all brokerage fees to trade stocks. This has made it easy for value investors like myself who occasionally trades stocks.

Having said that, I do believe there are lot of novice traders out there trading options without really understanding what they are getting into. Also, margin trading is another recipe for disaster if you dont know what you're doing. But none of these can be directly attributed to RH.

My only major callout here is, they very easily got away for being down during Market hours. For any brokerage, this should not be allowed without any consequences.
They can't distinguish at this point. I wonder if examining the Y DNA and mitochondrial DNA patterns of the same populations might shed light on the gender breakdown of the genes, which might be something that can be correlated with patterns of gender representation in migrations.

My understanding is that they took in RGB picture data, yes, but that they were required to be square (s.t. matrix transforms work on them, I think?).

But that's still different from taking in the actual JPEG data, which is sort of what the parent gets at: something has to decode that, and that software isn't a neural net.

(Further, when I worked w/ ML that dealt w/ image data, we had a host of non-ML code written around it to support it, dealing with the various facets of running in the cloud, where to get the data, where to store the results, who to notify about the results, and a bunch of preprocessing on the image — such as removing pointless borders that humans put around images.)
