Lol...They can sell my order flow all they want as long as I’m still earning

Edit: Downvote all you want. That all brokers (well, not all, depending on your account) sell your flow to Citadel et el is well discussed, and RH has an even better client base to ‘sell out’...

The point I’m making is that for some users they don’t really care it it currently ‘works well enough’ for whatever they’re doing.
Do you have any self awareness of how awful that sounds?

Same with gambling, I imagine. The utility of 107% guaranteed of this dollar is less than a less than one in a billion chance at a billion dollars.

The net expected value of the dollar doesn't have to be positive. Losing $2000 over 80 years of your life is certainly worth is a non-factor for many.

Add in the fact that RH has reduced barriers to entry to investing. It's way easier to get RH and buy VOOG than to get Vanguard set up. I have enough in both to know.
>"The significance of this discovery is that classical physics does not allow for such things as paramagnetism, diamagnetism and ferromagnetism and thus quantum physics are needed to explain the magnetic events.[5]"

Well, that might be true and all, but I like the following simpler explanation:

1) There is an extra dimension in space.

2) This extra dimension in space can be occupied by magnetic and other fields. They are unseen, but present when a magnetic object is present, much like radio or other electromagnetic waves are unseen, but can be present.

3) These fields, when present, exert a force on the magnetic objects they occupy, and can be used to exert force on other magnetic opjects, without the two objects ever physically touching.

Which also means that:

4) Magnetic fields are somehow intricately related to the materials they occupy, that is, the matter, at either the molecular or atomic levels...

If this is true, then one weird model for magnetism might exist as the "displacement of space"...

For example, you take a stone, you put it in some water, it displaces a little bit of that water.

But not enough to really see anything...

So now the $64,000 question:

What happens when you have a fixed ditch/gutter/trench/trough/channel/container of water, and you start to cram in stones, a whole lot of stones, such that each stone starts to displace more and more water?

?

Oh, and lets suppose that it's open on one side... and in that side is a much thinner open trench, which loops around to the other side, the closed side of the container?

Well, put enough stones (atoms, molecules) there, and they'll displace the water such that it flows into the small looped external open trench...

So, is a magenetic field -- actually the displacement of space?

I don't know, but there might be a case to be made for it...

Also, other observation: IF a magnetic field is in fact the displacement of space -- then this would mean that the magnetic field lines... represent a different kind of space than regular space... in other words, there are at least two kinds of space, regular space and magnetic field line space.

Then of course the next question is, how are these two types of space the same, and how are they different?

How do you make one from the other (without using a magnet!), and vice-versa?

But of course, all of the above is highly speculative...

Some people don't miss that at all,as their personal views are so neatly aligned with the ruling regime that a) their thoughts are not constrained, thus free, and b) having any other form of government would represent a suboptimal solution dictated by a ignorant majority.

This has been observed in pretty much any totalitarian regime since ever in a fraction of the population that in some cases might be the majority.

Thats pretty much my experience aswell. We use code reviews in pull requests from feature branch (not deployed anywhere yet) to the staging branch (deployed) and the PO/PM gets that these are important and fixes take time. If something is deployed and not utterly broken, well theres more important stuff to be done.
Additionally we have caught some really nasty stuff in code reviews that had the potential to activly break the staging system which would have, at least, caused some hectic work to fix the db there. Some things are hard and impractical to test, e.g. if a migration just destroys your data.
I have worked in a company before that did not have code reviews and when I tried to intruduce them they basically where "I need you to press this button" rubber stamps where most of the approvers never even looked at the code. Not going back there...
This is an absurd argument. At the very least, science can absolutely provide conclusive evidence that the world is not flat and that vaccines cannot cause autism. This isn’t a “belief.” This can be shown with clear conclusive evidence. Religious beliefs cannot be tested due to how they are structured (“just gotta have faith”).

So even assuming you are arguing in good faith, an anti-vaxxer and/or a flat-earther are people who can be shown irrefutable evidence that goes against their beliefs and they will simply close their eyes, plug their ears, and scream and shout until you go away. The opinions of those people are ones I don’t care about or think worthwhile because they have already made up their minds and are working backwards to look for evidence that supports their beliefs, and invalidating all others.

Show HN: Free Covid-19 Check-in System for Businesses
Hey HN,

My name is Marcus, I’m a foodie/programmer who wants to help hospitality businesses get back on their feet.

With the recent COVID-19 cases, I though the best way I could do this was by providing my COVID-19 guest check-in website https://shielded.app for free.

The software works by letting guests provide you with their details via their phone (using a QR code or NFC) instead of virus spreading pen and paper.

Believing he has responsibility or competence to decide would be his biggest mistake. It wouldn't matter if he actually did have credentials, it's not the role of an executive to decide technical disputes.

Having independent knowledge and skills would enable him to discover when he is being lied to, and usually prevent the attempt.

But he has been installed to direct budget to certain parties outside government, and can probably succeed at that. He might have been installed to commit the DoD to continue delivering budget to those parties long after he has been dismissed.

That doesn't take a totalitarian oppressive regime like the one forced into China by China's communist party. In some European cities old cars or diesel-powered cars are banned from city centers, and certain types of bikes are only allowed on some zones.

Also, the fact that many schools in the US have classes with no windows should be made illegal, when I first heard about that I thought it was a joke (until I saw some photos). The communists did a lot of things wrong in my country when they came to power after WW2 but one of the things that they did do right was to build lots and lots of new schools, and every one of the classes in those schools had big windows by mandated design, not just as an afterthought.

I was able to get a custom 10gbit unmetered plan from Virmach a couple years ago. Definitely real, and I've been pulling double-digit-TB egress for months without issue.

I see on their website you can upgrade to 10gbit metered for an extra $2/month but I don't know what they'd charge for the unmetered options now.

There are lots and lots of providers if you are happy with 1gbit unmetered though: I'm a happy customer of BuyVM (starting from less than $2 a month!) and Scaleway (bandwidth depends on your plan).

If you are happy to spend a bit more for your own dedicated box, OVH, Hertzner, Online.net are great options. All of them offer unmetered BW I believe.
> To me, it feels much more like a pick your poison type of thing.

The way out is consistently living way under your means (if possible). If you don't live in poverty, this is likely possible in the general case; just pretend you make XX% less aftertax and voila, you have an %XX savings rate. There are non-monetary costs to doing this, but there are also benefits, and the freedom is really hard to beat.

...though I've heard that that doesn't apply to having a family. I don't know exactly this wouldn't generalize to having a family, but I don't currently have dependents, so this blind spot is likely the reason. The main thing I can think of is how expensive schooling is (via or not via housing prices), and the understandable desire to max out the quality of your kids' schooling (my mom took a super-shitty job as a teacher to get my sister and I free private school tuitions, with a bitch of a commute, until we were old enough to get scholarships).

No. Read my example of the ten people again, carefully. I don't think you have grasped it yet.

I have said no such thing. I have no idea where you are getting this from. I have said nothing whatever about wages.

> if there was significant wealth transfer from almost everybody, then it would be obvious

It is obvious. See further comments below about McMansions, etc.

> I think you are saying that somehow, in emotional terms, the banks are a vampiric drain on the economy.

No. I am saying that the government is favoring financial institutions over everyone else by printing money and giving it to them. That does not mean financial institutions in themselves are not necessary. It just means they are being favored by the government, and this has negative effects and should be stopped. See my post in response to qnt upthread about misallocation of resources.

> If they somehow make money vanish

I have said no such thing. Where are you getting this from?

> If all the excess money is being hoarded by a tiny number of people

I have said no such thing. You are reading a lot of things into my post that are not there.

The financial institutions are not hoarding the money the Fed prints and gives to them. They are using it to make mortgage and commercial real estate loans, because that is what they are allowed to use it for under current policies. Which in turn means more economic incentive for people to produce things that can be bought with those loans: McMansions and commercial real estate, well beyond the amount that would actually be bought in a free market with no government interference. And, as a result, we have, as I said, McMansions galore and empty commercial real estate all over, while other things that people need or want more are unnecessarily scarce, because the economic demand that would have motivated people to produce them has been taken away and transferred to financial institutions.

> The idea that financial institutions possess all wealth

I have said no such thing. I have only said that when the Fed prints money and gives it to financial institutions, that is economically equivalent to transferring some wealth to them from everyone else. I have never said it transfers all wealth to them. I have not even said it transfers most wealth to them.
The last time I tried to deposit pre-rolled coins, the bank told me I could only deposit a maximum number per visit w/o a coin counting fee, and that number was really low.

> human intelligence may not be that general

Humans have more of an ability to generalize (ie learn and then apply abstractions) than anything else we have available to compare to.

> would it be considered a human-level AI yet

Not necessarily human level, but certainly general.

Dogs don't appear to attain a human level of intelligence but they do seem to be capable of rudimentary reasoning about specific topics. Primates are able to learn a limited subset of sign language; they also seem to be capable of basic political maneuvering. Orca whales exhibit complex cultural behaviors and employ highly coordinated teamwork when hunting.

None of those examples appear (to me at least) to be anywhere near human level, but they all (to me) appear to exhibit at least some ability to generalize.

Since it's seems like you were already motivated and interested in learning Math on your own, how would you describe what your learnings were before you enrolled in formal studies? In other words if you could travel back in time to talk to yourself before you made the decision to enroll in a Master's program, what would the younger you have asked the older you and what would be the response?
For example I'm thinking a reply might be like "well you're going to miss out on opportunities xyz by commiting to a Master's program, but because I know you and know you wouldn't be happy without satisfying your desire to learn Math in a more formal study the trade of is worth it. And you don't know this yet but when you start learning about P,Q,R you'll really get a kick out of it" :-)
As someone who is experiencing these long-term symptoms for months, I can tell you that my pulse oximeter reports a blood oxygen of 97+ even when I am feeling it is difficult to breathe. I feel a tightness in my chest when it happens, primarily below the upper sternum. I'm also producing thick phlegm, only in my throat (not in my head or chest). I have no cough or fever.

When I first came down with the illness in March, I went to the emergency room but could not get a COVID test, because they were limited to people who had been in contact with someone from China. I had a chest x-ray, which showed that I did not have pneumonia. I had what doctors would call a "mild case" with fever, cough, fatigue, headaches, "red eyes", and diarrhea.

- Ratio between thinking and doing. People call it overthinking, I don't, because in some cases, I prevented myself some nasty situations (e.g. any form of addiction, scams and similar things). So it has been beneficial as well, but I think it took more than it gave me back.

- Less relationships and more dating. Though, it might be the case that I'd want it the other way around since I did this once in my life and got tired about it after 5 weeks (traveling, having intimacy -- kissing and/or sex -- with one woman per week). I think this points serves to show that even if I could redo life, it doesn't mean it'd be better at all points.

- Not study as much and get a job ASAP. I started a first serious freelance job around 27 (being a TA before). In retrospect, I should've ditched my extracurricular study stuff and started making money at 22 and invest 50% of it. Preferably, I'd have gotten a job at 16 (20 hours per week) and started investing 50% of that. I don't regret investing late, despite the fact that I don't have the amazing compound interest of a 16 year old. But I do regret not having any focus on building up some capital. Especially because I don't have access to high paying jobs, despite being a programmer and despite delivering good work (I am terrible at job interviews as I'm simply myself and find it hard to apply to one role). I have some now and have needed to rely on it at times and it saved me a ton of stress and related mental health issues (potentially caused by stress [1]).

[1] I know because there has been one time where I did get hit by stress for a bit too long (6 months). If it would go unchecked for a couple of years, then a moderate depression might be what you're looking at.
