> The parents should file a police report, it will be a very harsh lesson to the kid but he has screwed up on an incredible scale

I actually disagree. If it was my kid, i would be willing to eat the 20k in exchange for protecting them from the legal system. That's not to say there wouldn't be consequences, i would be pretty livid, but 20k would be a small price to pay. This may be influenced though by (like many hn'ers) being employed in the tech industry, where 20k is a substantial sum, but not lifesavings amount of money.

The issue I see is that streamers are real people, with hopes dreams, etc. They may have already spent the money donated to them, etc. Sure if it was actually stolen its reasonable to require them to give it back. One of the reasons the penalty for stealing is harsh, is because it doesn't just hurt the person stole from, but also the people who were paid in the stolen money. The parent wants to be made whole without any of the consequences coming back to either the son or the parent. This isn't fair to the streamers. Either the parent needs to take the responsibility for the stolen money (which she has elected to do by not pressing charges, but it comes with a 20k price tag) or needs to throw teenager under the bus in order to be made whole under the normal legal system. In the article, the parent wants both to shield the kid from the legal system but also disavow herself from his actions. But its unfair to other hurt parties to have both. Either the parent takes on responsibility for the kid's actions or she doesn't. There is no magic loophole where the parent takes responsibility but doesn't end up with consequences, nor should there be.
GPT3 demos are impressive. This looks like a significant step towards AGI. I think GPT3 simulates memory retrieval and data reconstruction quite well. The part that we are still missing for AGI is curiosity - ability to ask questions and fill in the missing information gaps.
I live in a country where that's still the mandate.
That chart is extremely misleading. You can't compare estimated flu cases and deaths with confirmed COVID19 cases and deaths.
> Yes I miss getting my privacy striped away by all the CCTV cameras and feeling safe.

I'm sorry to break it to you but that feeling is nothing more than a feeling. There is no assurance of safety from CCTV camera coverage. There is only the assurance that the ruling regime is spying on you. Case in point: I personally know of a case where a popular restaurant was robbed at gunpoint in a city area that was extensively covered by a network of CCTV cameras, and still the robbery was never solved.

And the robbery looked like an internal job.

So no, CCTV coverage does not mean safety. If it was, London would be crime-free, and it's one of Europe's capitals with he highest crime rate.
As someone who would love to pursue that path, I’d be interested in hearing more about your story if you’re willing to share.

GDPR is an EU law. What is the "similar" UK version post Brexit?
I work in the industry and these kind of articles are always full of bad information about order routing.

* Robinhood order flow is informed and toxic like all other brokerages. Taking the opposing side of all Robinhood trades would cause a broker-dealer to lose all of their capital very quickly.

* The "bad prices" the "novices" are trading at, are in fact, the same market price that all participants trade at (at or inside the bid/offer). If the prices were obviously bad, there is free money available to the author here by simply quoting inside the spread.

* Recall that the majority of trades on lit exchanges are from professional or institutional investors. For this reason, spreads are wide because providing liquidity means you will likely get run over. Robinhood orders do not exhibit as much short term momentum, and so trading against them is safer for broker-dealers because there is less risk. This risk profile is valuable, and you might wonder what's a fair way to allocate that value. One option is to not capture it, and send all Robinhood orders directly to the market. The author implies this makes sense (a gravy-free approach), but it does not, the retail customer actually ends up worse off. Another option, the one that occurs in practice now is for the value to get split between the counterparty taking on risk (Citadel, in the form of less toxicity on orders), the customer (the Robinhood client, in the form of price improvement over the national bid/offer), and Robinhood themselves for sourcing the flow (a commission or payment).
This argument always confuses me, as if "it makes it easier to not pay our taxes" is a legitimate argument for using cash
Not really. Almost all of the research that supports masking was done years ago. I spent March getting shouted down in various places because I read that research and concluded that people should be wearing masks. It took a machine learning researcher of all people to bring people around to what was obvious to anyone who spent a few hours reading scientific research.

The average reporter for a newspaper simply doesn't have the time to actually understand a topic. They talk to a few people, and with the current political environment, everything they hear is agenda driven.

Spend your information gathering time in a more productive way. If you really feel you need to be up to date, read the week in review section of one of the national newspapers.

Turkmenistan Banned Black Cars. So What?
Mostly valid arguments. Founding a startup with a co-founder can be like being in a marriage, and there are a lot of frustrations on the path to success (or failure).

That said, she doesn't seem to realize how privileged she actually is, having to choose between a high-paying job at a SV company or accepting to join one of the most famous startup accelerator programs... I don't think she does that on purpuse, just seems a bit out of touch (but then again this is HN so maybe not).
Hmm. Probably both.

On the second thought, it seems like that's a very good question, for these two processes are maybe in a positive feedback loop. This year we pay more attention to news, and this makes us both more susceptible and more exposed to things like "the moment to act is now".

> I am taking cognomen as surname, as is common when referring to him today, by nomen + cognomen.

Huh? "Caesar" is how he's generally referred to, almost certainly because the form of address to every Roman emperor was "Caesar", after him. But there's no indication that it is taken to be his surname. That would be ridiculous.

There is no pattern for the common English name of a Roman figure:

- Virgil: nomen

- Ovid: nomen

- Martial: cognomen

- Catullus: cognomen (of possible note: Martial and Catullus have the same nomen)

- Cicero: cognomen, but sometimes referred to by nomen as "Tully"

- Antony: nomen

- Brutus: cognomen

- Pliny the Elder: nomen

- Catiline: cognomen

It's purely convention whether they're known by surname or personal name.

Similarly, what are the surnames of, as they are known in English, Mao Tse-tung, Chiang Kai-shek, or Sun Yat-sen?

Taco Bell isn’t Tex-Mex, it’s corporatized and white-washed fast food. You won’t find Tex-Mex in California... that’s kind of the point.

I appreciate many different cuisines, so I am not saying Tex-Mex is better than Cali-Mex, just that they’re different. Bringing Taco Bell into the equation and saying it’s representative is deeply insulting to Tex-Mex, however.
This seems like a rather naive view to me (and one that I also used to have). As a business owner you are far more accountable to a far greater number of people than you ever will be as an employee. You have the authority to make more decisions, but it’s hardly a “whatever you like” sort of situation. Nearly all of the decisions you make will just be about balancing all the responsibilities you have to other people. As a business owner you might have more authority, but there are many areas where an employee would typically have more freedom. An employee has the freedom to leave all their work problems at the office and go home at the end of the day, or take a vacation. An employee has the freedom to leave the moment a better opportunity comes along. An employee has the freedom to only worry about the problems they’re specifically employed to solve. A business owner would not be expected to have any of that. If your primary concern is a greater level of autonomy at work, then you’d typically be better off seeking and employer who will give you more autonomy than you would be owning a business.

Did you get a sense for whether the higher denomination coins like €1 and €2 are getting impacted as much as lower ones? I'm trying to think of a reason that this effect would be coin-specific and not just, for instance, a function of the denomination.

Just search for the paper on the topic, written by the Phillip Morris Unbiased Research Group. it explains how frogs breathing air got more cancer then frogs trapped in airtight boxes and only allowed to breathe exhaled tobacco smoke, who mostly died for other reasons. seems legit...
Covid is more deadly then flu in literally any age group. It also takes more time to cure. Kids do handle covid better then adults, but kids do handle flu better then adults too.

We do know that kids can be transmission vectors and there is nothing to suggest they cant be.

This is a good way to look at it. I’ve given up Twitter and much shortform news for mental health, and haven’t had a good response to others saying it’s my “duty” as a citizen to stay informed.

You can stay just as informed without giving in to doombait articles. You are just as valuable in the public sphere if you don’t succumb to attaching yourself to the firehose of daily information and tweets.

With all due respect, the research that is being done is focused on treating active, severe cases. Doctors and researchers are only beginning to focus on the virus's aftermath. So please don't make assumptions about the prevalence of post-viral syndromes related to COVID-19. As someone who is suffering from CFS-like symptoms, I'm finding dismissiveness like yours to be infuriating, especially because your dismissiveness has been echoed by my own doctors. How many people reporting these symptoms are being ignored?
> In the first three months of 2020 ... [Robinhood users] also bought and sold 88 times as many risky options contracts as Schwab customers, relative to the average account size

> And let’s remember that options are far more illiquid and opaque than standard equities.

Okay, first of all the growth of the options market is AMAZING, and their utility increases the more liquid the market is.

So massive new groups of traders with a low barrier of entry make options much more liquid, and this is amazing.

There used to only be one series of options that expired once per quarter and had 5 cent ($5) bid and ask spreads, and strikes only every $5 or $10 dollars.

Now there are 20 series trading at once and pretty much all indice constituent companies, let alone the index itself, alongside strikes every $1 - $2.5 dollars, even $.50 cents sometimes.

There are so many strategies that were unviable because the spreads were too wide, the strikes were too few and far between, and the commissions structure was prohibitive.

That's all changed now, and that's the other perspective.

Robinhood is also still handicapping users, as the regulations allow for much greater amounts of leverage and margin capabilities, which Robinhood doesn't offer yet, which TD Ameritrade and others have offered all along. So all the surprise and angst directed at Robinhood is as ignorant as the speculators that you are worried about.

This is an education problem, not an access problem. They are mutually exclusive.

To the people not using options for what they were made for:

I don't think that's necessarily what the person I replied to is talking about, given their language, which is why I asked.
For stock options, a vertical spread is a combination of buying and selling a put or a call.

I could buy an AMZN call expiring next Friday with a notional value of $300,000 (100 shares at 3000 strike) for $6,250. I could simultaneously sell an AMZN call with a notional value of $300,500 (100 shares at $3005) for $5,855. My net debit would be $395 with a max profit of $105 if AMZN closes above $3005 a share at expiration.

In the above I bought a call from someone with a notional value of $300,000 and someone else bought a call from me with a $300,500 notional value. I paid $395 for this setup that has a notional value of $600,500, but the most I could ever get back is $500, the spread between the strike prices.

> For books it is usually just the same story told over and over again with the character names and forms changed.

actual new things are by definition rare. each thing can only be done once for all of humanity. after that, its an iterative process with the occasional leap forward.

if you're thinking about technical or even worse self-help books: yes - there are very few that actually bring anything worthwhile to the table. thats simply because it becomes common knowledge if its correct to a degree where it has a significant effect.

if you're however thinking of story-books than ... you're just reading similar things.
there is a lot of written stories around - they admittedly usually have things like `conversation` in common, but how else would you write a book? by leaving everything blank?
yep. while outdated it's a better visualization
Outsourcing your infrastructure to others is an existential risk. CDNs and such don't look so good to a lot of people because there's something to be said about the nature and value of doing it yourself. The nature being that no one cares about you more than you

An analog for me is car repair. I could take my car in to get oil changes, have brakes serviced, etc. etc. Disregarding the money I save the reason I don't use those services is because those technicians and companies do not care about the quality of their work on my property as much as I do.

As an example, I was feeling too lazy to do a radiator replacement myself and so I took it to a big shop. Terrible mistake, when I got the car back they'd unplugged some of the sparkplug wires and forgot to plug one back in. There's no way they didn't notice the rough idling when moving it out of the bay. Even worse they wanted to say nothing was wrong until I had them pop the hood and pointed out the spark plug boot just sitting there.

Edit: To expand on this, the answer isn't buy a CDN solution. The answer is make CDN solutions so easy to implement that anyone can setup their own with their own hardware hosted in colos around the world.

I'm not personally in a position to try this out currently as the product I'm currently employed to work on with >$50MM quarterly revenue just got axed due to macro effects of coronavirus. I know you have a free 30-day trial but I'm not sure I want to invest the energy to learn a new 'flow' that I know I won't be using next month.

My earlier frustration was mainly because I'm heavily fatigued with the appearances of dark patterns in modern business products, particularly SaaS, but by no means limited to web or tech in general. I've had some negative experiences recently when trying to cancel services and it colors my perceptions when I'm evaluating new offerings. I have learned the hard way to be diligent not just in cancelling subscriptions, but also to fully delete payment methods in order to prevent accidental/fraudulent continuations of charges. Critically I've found it necessary to also try my best to delete my entire account as some companies have followed up with mistaken debt collection calls/letters for my accounts months after I've made recorded phone calls to cancel and removed my payment methods online. For me it's now difficult to trust companies with auto-renew contracts, as the value of my time spent fixing the 5% of cancellations I have issues with dwarf the total dollars spent on all services/memberships in the first place. It sometimes takes months of back and forth to get these debt collection processes cleared up.

I do have a lot of empathy for launching good products in today's increasingly difficult environment of new regulatory burdens, walled gardens that are hard to interact with, and juggernaut monopoly products that make it hard to provide alternatives to users. I wish you well and hope you continue to evolve the utility of bookmarks and browsing history for end users. There's a lot of value to create there.
Having not used it, what is special about Robinhood? Online Trading platforms have been around since the 90s. Maybe earlier, but I was seeing them then. There wasn't much friction back then, other than needing to be physically located at home to have an internet connection (no wifi or mobile).
Am I the only one who finds this enslaving of living things troublesome?
I mean livestock enslavement is problematic, but the necessity for food could 'morally compensate' for it. Plus originally these animals were part of the family. Industrialization kinda blew the whole balance there. But again, feeding people is a necessity so while I can argue against excessive use of livestock, I find it morally ambivalent.

But this doesn't come out of any necessity. What uses are there for this? I bet 90% of usage for this is Surveillance.
So we enslave living things just to enhance enslavement of human beings.
I don't know, this feels very off.
