The triangle wasn't the only Nazi reference. They ran 88 variations of the ad, and the first sentence had 14 words. Both numbers are well-known references used by neo-Nazis for decades.

It downloads 89 separate JS files and then breaks scrolling with my scroll wheel on Firefox.

I was a customer at one of their gyms and the app was garbage. It frequently crashed and there were huge bugs with basic stuff like the dates I'd be billed for renewal being wrong. I didn't realize I was still subscribed and they charged me ~$250 for a month where I didn't even go in.
That's not the sense in which market makers "win" on these trades. The information market makers are capitalizing on is "your tiny retail trade isn't followed by a giant block of additional trades unloading a huge position held by a pension fund", not "you are too dumb to know what this stock costs".

The money they're making is just the spread. They can safely quote better spreads to retail investors than they can to execution firms trading for giant funds.
"So yeah, I'm bullish on home workouts, but bearish on Mirror."

Yeah, if my psychology was set up for it, I'd be doing those hill sprints in the park near me in addition to perfunctory pushups. But in either case: none of it involves spending $1500 on some magic mirror.
There are thousands of networks of paid political and corporate sock puppets exploiting these tech platforms. Some are allowed to get away with it and some are cancelled.
Her experience is the same. Zero funding is zero funding. Your experience cannot be worse than "received no money" when it comes to raising money. It is a binary outcome.

She's receiving equal treatment.

But she's expecting and explicitly asking for preferential treatment based on the her belief that VCs have promised it.

It could be that these VCs were never intending to offer preferential treatment. Or that they meant that they would offer preferential treatment to black members of the Ivy League. Neither of these answers would be surprising.
Maybe living in the inner city. I know a great many people who feed their family through hunting. In my area, if there were to be a supply chain issue and food was hard to come by, knowing how to turn an animal to food is an important thing to know. I'd say that is likely more important that conn'ing a ship. Anyway, let's not get to pedantic. "A human should be able to feed themselves and their family."
I’m hesitant to give examples unfortunately but yes to the above and lots of what we do is bespoke whereas we could leverage Django for a lot of it. How are you putting it together? Independent Python classes that exist outside of most of Django core?
"The thing is I really try to improve", that statement alone makes me think you are not one of these people.

Don't underestimate the value of slow and steady in the world of corporate development. Many fresh out of college might seem like super stars developers that know all the latest buzz word technologies, I know this is a massive generalisation, but they don't like to work on "boring" or "legacy" and often quick to jump ship to the next opportunity.

Also, please be aware that this feeling is a common symptom of imposter syndrome.
How do you know how many variations of the ad they ran?
I disagree with you on being skeptical - I think (my humble 0.02) that you are in the minority. People still buy these gadgets despite for the past 40 years or so they mostly kept collecting dust at home.

But I agree on something else: I would also short these companies, for other reasons. I think there's no moat large enough to defend them in the future.

Also, you say you're "highly highly productive". Hey man, please share more about it. I believe you, and I want to know more!
Models are not just descriptions of data, which is why overfitting is not considered success. They are an attempt to generalize patterns from a given datatset. What patterns they generalize is of interest to several research fields, including fairness, domain adaptation, and robustness. A useful but incomplete resource is below.

That definitely makes it sound more like undefined behavior than a bug.
Several brokerages offer a paper trading option so there’s no need to risk real money or fear accidentally leveraging yourself. Just google paper trading, I think thinkorswim has it along with others.

If using an actual account just don’t use options and don’t apply for margin when you open the brokerage. It will be a cash only account and you won’t be able to lose more than you put in (assuming we’re talking stocks and bonds here, not Futures).

There are many words I'd use to describe SUSE, but neither "mediocre" nor "behemoth" are among them.
It is not my responsibility to define whether it is a "platform" or a "publisher" as a user. I feel it is behaving more as a publisher than as a platform. I have explained in detail my reasoning (if you wish to learn more about my stand on this): https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23716300

I have no issues with any social media groups taking action on posts that are explicitly illegal (based on your jurisdiction): child porn, gambling, calls to violence etc. My problem lies in the power that these social media companies enjoy. They can literally influence people in ways that could never have been done in the past. You are always connected to Google or Facebook wherever you go. Through their "audience network" they have nearly 100% reach to every user in the World. Yes that includes any app that you use on your mobile that shows you ads. With that kind of power, these social media companies have more reach than any Government on this planet. They can influence elections in profound ways. They can swing voters to any policy they feel meets their goals. There has to be some sort of regulation that keeps these powers in check! Censorship of voices is just the first step towards building an Orwellian society where every flow of information is controlled by these media giants.
I'm guessing that having your sock puppet network admitted into evidence in a federal case that you subsequently lose is a pretty strong factor in which networks get taken down.
I don't option trade, but I don't think Fidelity is really that fair of a comparison for option trading, they don't market themselves as an active trading platform the way Ameritrade, Etrade or IB do.

After the outages, I don't see why a sophisticated trader who's doing option trading would trust Robinhood. I trade at IB and am very happy there. Just my 2 cents.
I don't really understand what point you're trying to make. The relevant part of the mirror in the quote you're giving from 1984 is that it was compulsory. This product is optional.

That means I think they're not really comparable.

You can make anything sound dystopian if it were compulsory. When it's a tool people choose to use it can be empowering and help people achieve the goals they had before they chose the product.

I'm not sure this is really an intelligent or meaningful criticism. I think it's just snark - something said for the sake of it that sounds witty but doesn't really stand up if you think about it.
That top answer is editorializing but their own analysis indicates that in Europe the upside red triangle is incredibly common in resistance movement imagery as well as having precedented use in US Antifa branches.
That same answer goes on to show all of the imagery dating back to WWII using the red triangle. Plus images of modern Antifa paraphernalia including T-Shirts, Stickers and more that include that symbol.

Seems, to me, the upside down red triangle is definitely a symbol of Antifa, although perhaps not the most commonly used symbol in the US.

Regardless, the claim that the Trump campaign picked an obvious Nazi symbol just to make Antifa look bad seems very clearly garbage. I, as a sample of one, have never seen that symbol used in a Nazi context before, but that's just me.
Ask HN: How are you teambuilding while in quarantine?
Our company used to be very active with after-work events, like happy hours, karaoke nights, etc. With quarantine, we've found it a bit more challenging to organize social events. We tried a virtual happy hour for a while, but it fizzled out after a few weeks.

What creative things have your teams done for social events while in quarantine?
So, just leaving the issue unsolved for probably around 20 years or so and letting under-represented groups play catch-up.

There are a lot more meaningful and effective actions that can be implemented now, which would correct things in a shorter length of time. I do think that the 'pipeline' is the fundamental way to fix the issue -- but I think that the best way of creating that interest is to present those under-represented groups in our society now, rather than later.
This is not reading material for non-technical users.

That seems quite paternalistic. Why should 20 somethings have their access to equity markets restricted? They can vote, go to war, use mind altering substances, and more.
As exercise equipment: Meh.
As large form-factor indoor advertising: Interesting.

Some article pointed out that the mirror has some potential to be a useful form factor for information display alongside phone, laptop, tablet, watch, book reader, and Alexa/Google Home display.
I'm not sure why this article is so controversial. Whether her app deserved funding or not wasn't what the main point of the article was. No one is saying they are obligated to fund a startup because a person is black.

If VCs want to claim to put effort into supporting black founders, then they should follow through on that with their actions. They had committed to meeting and helping black founders. Ignoring emails and generic responses is in no way helping. They could have still said no and been more accommodating as they claimed they would do.
You can invest in Vanguard ETFs on Robinhood.

Except, you know, easier and faster than via vanguard.com

Literally every brokerage allows trading on margin because they all make more money that way (via interest fees).

Banks flood people with credit card offers (instant, unsecured $10k loan) and allow you to irresponsibly borrow against your mortgage.

How are those other companies any different than Robinhood?
The last time I used Doordash, they had an outage that affected all active orders. I did not receive my meal because of it. And from their Twitter feed, it seems that has happened multiple times.

When I tried to reach out to customer support, I realized the processing time for customer support inquiries is 3 business days.

I am surprised Doordash still exists. It's a subpar service and the founders have shown poor ethics.
"Mirror sells you the equivalent of a beautiful, giant iPad that hangs on your wall for $1,495. Then, if you pay a $39 monthly subscription, you can use a mobile app to turn the Mirror into a fitness class". Hold on a second. i do have this 50" thing in my living room.

I'm in VC and there are many reasons why I and my peers are not interested in yet another software product selling to gyms. They are extremely fragmented, hard to access, low ACV customers who are already well served by products like MindBody. I've seen a ton of marketplaces for personal trainers as well.

The reality is that the chance a VC responds to a cold outbound email is already near 0. I get these in my LinkedIn inbox almost all the time and they are very rarely good because the founders with great companies are not going out of their way to cold email people. I doubt that most of the VCs she's talking about spent enough time to even realize it was a WoC.

> Trading with you (a retail investor) has a lower cost basis because retail investors are reliably less sophisticated than institutional investors

It's not about winning or losing, it's about getting "run over" by massive momentum. Retail investors move less volume and randomly take both sides of trades, so it's much less risky to trade with them. Conversely, large players can dump so much volume that they move the price against a market maker and decimate their revenue from whatever very small spread they usually collect.

> The most obvious way for Robinhood to optimize its revenue is to get its investors to make lots of bad trades.

Robinhood doesn't care whether trades are good or bad. A discount brokerage is a moving business, not a storage business (unless you count interest on cash balances, which Robinhood doesn't make much from). They make money from retail investors doing a lot of trades. Arguably that's against the interest of the investors because retail investors tend to make bad trades, but there's no malice on the part of Robinhood there. If all their clients made a lot of money presumably they'd use it to make more trades and make Robinhood more money.
What It Takes to Be a Leader in Both Basic Science and Technological Progress
Everybody telling you to try something else than Arch.

There's a reason Arch is so famous and a meme: installation is a challenging weekend project if you've never done it, but it's the most stable distribution with the sanest ecosystem (AUR, sane defaults like systemd, fastest package manager, rolling releases, packages are kept as close to upstream as possible).

Once you go Arch you probably won't go back and you will just grow the meme further.

Dit not know that, but after "just installing it", it was suuuper slow and ugly (very not matching my other apps) and I could not find the process it was running as at first (snap obfuscates that). Also it could not read a file I put in /tmp.

I want to use a tool to protect my privacy, please not package that in some security-unproven test-bed of a packaging/execution method please.

(Also found the calc app was in snap, and thus verrrry slow to start, then I dumped Ubuntu altogether)
They've always been censoring is my point. Profanity, porn and hatefulness is a normative decision. This also doesn't touch the problem that the platform based on its content structuring and targeting will always reward emotional ideas over everything.

You're just frustrated now because they came for your voice. If they're going to put advertising up against it, they should be held to the same annoying process and responsibility that broadcast media is.
Honestly, putting your money in an ETF so you have a bit more money when you retire is stupid. You cant retire any earlier investing that way, and you are subsidizing all of the terrible sectors included in the etfs. Its brainwashing to do it.
Thanks. That was next on my list :)
This snap business is what we get when commercial interests try to warp the concept of FOSS distributions. That's what we get for letting companies such as Canonical and Red Hat control so much of the distribution space (and I mention Red Hat because of systemd, which has made its inroads much more successfully).

And snap is bad not just because you can't patch, or pin, or set up a snap mirror etc. The whole concept is bad.

Sure. Universities are megacorporations that aren't exactly doing it for charity. They charge an arm and a leg and online education sucks by comparison. I'd like to see universities slash their tuitions for the online system.

Literally none of that makes it okay to evict people from the country under this policy. This isn't about the Trump administration standing up for students against universities. This is about the Trump administration shitting on immigrants.
Suse has been around just as long as RedHat, put out a great suite of products, went for-profit, and seems to do well in the EU market. They've never generated as much buzz - good or bad - though. Is that just my perspective from being in the American linux bubble? Centos, RHEL, Debian, Ubuntu, Arch even; I hear about those players all the time.
>Reddit tried to change all the moderators on the Donald Trump subreddit a few months back and in response the moderators built thedonald.win.

Not exactly true. They banned the top mods for not removing problematic content or posting some of their own. This led to there not being enough manpower to manage an active sub. So the remaining mods were instructed to hire new mods based on certain standards, like having a certain karma threshold on the sub.

>After the recent ban wave of subs several others moved to the '.win network'.

What subs are those and do they live on the same domain?
This kind of comment is now against the guidelines: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html (third from bottom).
GDPR adds an interesting wrinkle in all this. GDPR requires both the right of removal (removing @-mentions) and the right of rectification (updating them.) So if I change my name from notJim to notJohn, GDPR requires* services to update previous @-mentions from notJim to notJohn, and similarly requires services to remove old mentions of notJim if I request removal. Using an identifier behind the scenes greatly simplifies this, because instead of dealing with text, you fetch the appropriate display name at render time.

* IANAL, etc, and I'm sure requirements and interpretations of GDPR vary, but I do know that my company invested quite a lot into systems to fix this @-mentioning issue, so at least some people thinks it requires this and are willing to spend probably millions of dollars of engineering time to comply with said requirement. Personally, I support this provision.

bitwarden_rs is really nice code.
Interesting ideas. How long should it take to create one of these solutions? NP-completeness doesn't care whether the thinker is human or neural-net, and optimality can take exponentially long to find.

Also, what if there simply isn't an optimal solution? Matrix multiplication comes to mind; we think it's quadratic-time, given the asymptotic number of operations that ought to be needed, but all existing algorithms are cubic-time (rounded up), and possibly there isn't a quadratic-time algorithm.

> In my opinion, the net of the democratizing of stock trading

What exactly does this mean? I'm pretty sure you've been able to purchase stock as a retail investor for a long time now. I'm also pretty sure that the friction that used to exist to direct stock trading was a net positive for the average retail investor.
If you want to label 'not having much power or responsibility' as 'passing the buck' that's your prerogative, but poo colored glasses hide reality just as well as the rose colored kind.

Perhaps. My way to fitness was Parkrun, a fantastic initiative that organises free 5km runs every Saturday in a local park. You just turn up and run. If you register and download a barcode, volunteers record your finish time each week and you get your time, and other statistics e-mailed to you.

They are great community events, and the organisers are proud that average finish time is gradually creeping up as more slower runners (and walkers) get involved. I started several years ago aged 52 and am now coming in at about 26 minutes, 10 minutes faster than my first run. Obviously they aren't running at the moment, apart from New Zealand, but check-out your nearest one. www.parkrun.com
I want to try Void Linux one day, but a distro that throws away systemd because REASONS is completely anachronistic for me.

It’s not a myth. In the trite examples provided with tiny datasets they scale. In stark reality when you’ve got 5000+ qps of dog shit queries of several joins each and buggered table statistics (thanks optimiser!) coming in on realistic datasets they are a damage amplifier.

Really all they do is repeat work in the most costly way possible that should have been done up front once. But that incurs the cost of knowing what you’re looking for before you do it.
