> I'm not 100% familiar but doesn't this app allow you to re-invest your paper gains without actually having anything material

I can't parse this sentence.

You can 'reinvest' non-settled funds. This is the definition for any margin account. "Paper gains" is usually in the context of paper trading, which the app doesn't allow. So this doesn't make sense.

Your link is not working for me, but the case for that customer was a lack of understanding, he didn't really owe 730k. It was a temporary balance. Which is the kind of thing you need to understand if you are trading options.

> We're all told to invest, so it's only natural for millennials/GenZ/etc to want to do that. Everything costs money,

Robinhood is mostly used for 'gambling'. If you want to invest, you should open a boring account in Vanguard, setup automatic deposits in VSTAX or similar (or manually on VTI), but otherwise forget about it. That's investing.

Playing around with short term market fluctuations is either trading or gambling.

> so if you can "make more money out of the money you already have", then that's quite appealing.

And yet that's what people do. If you are not doing the same, you are doing yourself a disservice.

This concept doesn't only exist in stocks. For instance, take a savings account. It appreciates over time. The reasons why are left as an exercise to the reader.

> As if creating money out of money makes any mathematical sense.

But it does. It's not about money creation, it's about wealth. Wealth is being created all the time. This is why the long term market tendency is always up. The moment we stop creating new things is the moment this will stop.

> I think in the end, all these "investment" apps are really just shuffling money from users. How else can you "make" money without taking money from someone else?

Congratulations. You have discovered trading. Someone buys, someone else sells.

Note that this is only a zero sum in the short term.
MW is a funny unit in this context. Apparently Daily Mail meant MWh.

> It provides a total of 129 megawatt-hours (460 GJ) of storage capable of discharge at 100 megawatts (130,000 hp) into the power grid, which is contractually divided into two parts:[20][needs update]

>This is good for them because they might be able to get TLSA at $1599.20 and sell it to the User at $1599.84, and it's good for the user because contracts have a narrower spread and they can give the user the price they saw when they sold it (vs Schwab, which gives you direct access to the market so you need to set limits)

This is not quite accurate. The user doesn't get a better price from a dark pool than they would in the market. They get filled at the market price. It's illegal for it to be higher and Citadel/Robinhood aren't going to leave money on the table by filling it cheaper.

Citadel is willing to pay Robinhood for their order flow because it is less risky and therefore more profitable because Citadel won't end up on the wrong side of a trade. Robinhood uses this money to fund their business and takes any excess as profit.

You're disappointed that a bunch of "ML experts" were not monitoring HN, in real-time, just waiting for posts like this so that they could drop whatever they were doing and immediately respond with a solution to this "problem" -- in detail, with the use of ML -- on a Monday morning, within roughly an hour or so after the question was initially asked?

---

To make up for this unimaginable transgression that you have been subjected to, I hereby demand that HN/YC immediately provide you with a sincere, heartfelt, and public apology and a signed and notarized guarantee that they have repented for their sins and pinky swear that such an incident will never ever ever happen again.

They must do this immediately after they fully refund you every single penny you have ever paid them (in this life as well as any past ones) and, in order to prove they are taking this issue seriously, all of this MUST happen before I click the "add comment" button in about two seconds from now ...

---

UPDATE: dang, I am very disappointed in the lack of attention to this matter by HN/YC and you, in particular. It's been 25 minutes since I posted this comment, yet this absolutely unbelievable occurrence should have been resolved before SubiculumCode became "disappointed"!

The US legal system allows a great many delaying tactics if you can afford filing fees and base your case on statements that cannot be proven with certainty. The legal system is often set up to require either certain proof or expensive multi-year reviews to overcome such objections, and they are used with great success by coordinated groups of NIMBY folks.

Laws could be passed to sidestep all of this and support infrastructure growth, but those laws would trigger the same attacks from coordinated groups NIMBY, who happen to often be wealthy single-family homeowners, and thus more often than their competition have captive lawmakers to resist any effort they disapprove of.

You're mixing up patents with copyright. First-to-file is an element of patent law, where priority is given to the first person to file the patent as opposed to the prior version in the US law (first-to-invent) where priority would be given to someone who demonstrated that they invented it first.

The actual law for the US (17 USC §201 (a)):

> Copyright in a work protected under this title vests initially in the author or authors of the work. The authors of a joint work are coowners of copyright in the work.

You cannot own copyright on a work that you have not authored, unless it has been (lawfully) transferred to you.

Incidentally, this is basically the core of the "Happy Birthday" copyright dispute: it was never established that the Hill sisters authored the lyrics, so they never had a copyright interest in it.

1. The manifesto author was barely 18 when he wrote this; representative of a new, younger cohort interested in this stuff.

2. Handmade is into low-level understanding, but certainly a few people stick to high-level projects, and simply peek behind the curtain when they need to. Low-level thinking translating into high-level wins.

3. Someone mentioned my conference, Handmade Seattle [0]. This is part of an effort to expand into the mainstream, and to inspire the next generation of compiler writers, kernel developers, game engine programmers etc.

We're not saying everyone has to be into this. We want to carve out our place, let those who care flourish, and not be caricatured for "reinventing the wheel."

I think that's not in opposition to what the article says. The main point is that computer science largely dismisses social sciences, hitting realizations and creating problems which social scientists have long considered and solved. To fix this, more exchange of knowledge must happen between computer science and social sciences. In order for social sciences to embrace computing, computing must realize that social science is a necessary part of their work.

Serious question: How was this handled in pre-AC times?

Is it just an issue because buildings are much better sealed than they used to be, or is there more to it than that?
In a sense yes, and this has already happened. It's just that GPUs are under lock and key just like early processors were. There are interesting development leaks you can find, like NVIDIA cards supporting USB connectors on some models, implying you can use just the GPU as a full computer.

Many ARM devices boot from GPU.
A few mantras I try to use for this type of problem:

* There are no solutions, just tradeoffs. Don't think there's a perfect tech stack.

* Done is better than perfect. Velocity matters. This generally means pick something you know if delivery is important.

* Boring tech tends to be reliable. Things like PHP, Rails, Django, etc. These tools have been around a long time and ironed out the kinks. Lots of documentation and tooling to make your life easier. Odds are very low your new fancy idea has any requirements that boring tech can't deliver on. This counts for every layer of the stack (frontend, DB, OS, etc).

I think the most important thing to keep in mind is you'll never have a perfect solution and that's ok! Don't get fooled by all the hype from new technologies that try to make you feel inferior for using other tech.
Congrats, looks useful! Just an opinion, but I think you should skip the cool large animation on your homepage and just start with the "Our platform is essential in scaling and maintaining your business.". I had no idea what Batch was until I scrolled way below the fold.
It's an unpopular opinion for a reason. Many people (too many at my current company) believe that effective collaboration requires in-person presence, but they only believe that because they never had to learn any other way. Once they open their minds to the idea of using remote collaboration methods to their fullest extent instead of just using VC as a direct replacement for ephemeral hallway conversations, both they and their companies are usually better off. A lot of remote collaboration involves writing instead of speaking, which can make conversations more inclusive and more searchable later. It can strengthen both focus and accountability. These are good things, but for various reasons some people still resist.
Hey there!

Re: lowering the bar - we hope so. What we've noticed is that the papers that talk about event sourcing mention replays but don't talk at all about the implementation (or give any pointers). We're hoping that if at least that part is done for you, you've got one less thing to worry about.

This subject is also featured in a MetaFilter front page post (FPP) titled "The 'Science' Behind the Plague Doctor Costume" on the site MetaFilter from 2015. [0] The FPP links to a Mental Floss article on the "Anatomy of 14th Century Bubonic Plague Hazmat Suits". [1]

What struck and haunted me about the "science" of Bubonic plague equipment was how so very close those cultures were to understanding the transmission of many diseases (though, ironically, not Bubonic Plague) and the Germ Theory of disease itself.

Quoting (in part) what I wrote then:

> Daniel Defoe's _Journal of the Plague Year_ published in 1722 [2] comes just before Pasteur's experiments confirming the Germ Theory of disease and it, too, is tantalizingly close about the empirical cause of the spread of Bubonic plague. [3]

Humans have come quite a ways toward understanding the science of infectious diseases, but given the many ways diseases propagate, one can't help but wonder how close we are to our 14th-century forbears when looked from the vantage of what we may know in 28th century. (That is, 14th century : 21st century :: 21st century : 28th century)

Only someone who is trying to muddy the waters against the scientific evidence supporting global warming would use the words "it takes two to tango". You're saying if someone lies, and another person calls out that lie, and your response is "it takes two to tango"...
Centralized is cheaper to install and maintain, though. Rather than dispatching an electrician to a home every time its battery has a problem, a farm keeps electricians on-staff and replacement parts in-stock. Installation is cheaper for the same reason.
I will use just one example to demonstrate that your double standards are not really double:

> - systemd has some Google DNS hardcoded int he code, if you don't like it ask your distro to change it or recompile it yourself (then please apply same for snap, ask you distro to recompile, patch it , etc)

Systemd has a default fallback hardcoded to Google DNS. Yes, distributions can compile in another default fallback. At the end of the chain, someone had to pick something, that works. The users can configure whatever they want - no need to recompile anything, just config file - and once they configure something, the default fallback is no more, the option picked by the user is used.

Canonical's snap store, on the other hand, is not a default fallback. It is only one option allowed, and if you don't like it, tough luck.

Wrt. the discussion, there are tree possibilities:

- you don't understand the nuance that makes the difference between those two situations;
- you willingly misrepresent two different situations as one;
- you don't understand what you are talking about.

Anyway, in all three cases, there's no point to any further discussion.
> DeJoy instructed USPS employees to leave mail behind if it delayed carriers from their routes

I mean, this does make sense. The more time you can spend doing the route itself, instead of waiting or coming back mid-way for whatever couldn’t be sorted in time in the morning is more “lean” efficient.

While some mail would take an extra day, it results in more mail delivered per carrier-hour.

I wonder if the increase in quality of smartphone cameras has driven more people back to film cameras.

10 years ago or so, if you wanted to dabble in photography you could spend $500 on an entry-level dslr kit and start taking significantly better pictures than your smartphone or point and shoot. Then you'd quickly hit the limits of the mediocre auto exposure settings and relatively low dynamic range, and be rewarded with even better shots for learning about the exposure triangle and better learning how to control your camera. It still took a bit of work & learning which is part of what makes something a fun hobby.

Now days the latest iphone will pretty much nail the shot 8 times out of 10, and for power users you can tweak exposure, focus, and now even low depth of field and extremely low light stills are possible. (This is a bit of a generalization, for some styles of photography like birds and wildlife you obviously still need long lenses. But smartphones can cover the 24-70mm equivalent range really well). It's pretty hard to justify an entry-level DSLR anymore. But a film camera still offers a relatively affordable way to slow things, and make photography more intentional, challenging, and fun.

On an evolutionary timescale, there would probably be an arms race of sorts leading to an equilibrium of predator/prey phenotypes.
> I'm old enough to remember when masks were not recommended by most public health experts (that is, I was born before March 2020).

There were initial concerns that improper mask use might do more harm than good (via misuse and potential changes to behaviour of wearers). Statistical and observational evidence has not borne this out, so the advice has changed.

By the way, this was just for mask use by laypeople; masks were always recommended for trained medical staff (where there would be less concern about misuse).

These things are never clean.

In the context of 20th century liberalism, some rights are more broadly accepted than others. Freedom of speech, press, free assembly, political association, rule of law, religion, property etc... these are the core freedoms.. the liberties liberalism refers to. Gun rights are somewhat unique to America so IDK how to treat them.

Other rights... these are not necessarily "liberal" rights. Socialism, for example, always criticised liberals for leaving workers rights and economic rights out of the equation. The ones that exist in law came about later, from socialist (progressives in US terms) agitations that came from "left" of the liberals.

Women only spaces, other such rights... I'm not sure how they relate to liberalism. Feminism generally has not been a purely liberal movement. It had/has many camps and influences.

Liberalism does not mean support for every right. In fact, early liberalism opposed the "rights and privileges" of monarchs, clergy and the aristocracy. Those rights, for example, are part of the UK constitution, but liberals are against them.
When the article calls this a "landmark plan", they mean it's an experimental new plan. Power technologies need to be well-tested, known to be reliable and efficient, if they're going to be deployed at scale.
