The buy ahead of you scenario described in this comment is not what the allegations are in the filing (and wouldn’t work in practice because of the way exchanges work).

What is actually being alleged here is that Robinhood did not fulfill their obligation to secure the best price. There is a literal system in the US equities space that says what the best price for a symbol is across the exchanges.

The internalizer can arbitrage this system due to physics & CAP there on but they can also do it in more prosaic ways, by having previous inventory that is priced better or by simply taking the spread between an internal netting (thus internalizing it).

In any case it’s Robinhood who holds the fiduciary duty not the internalizer so if they aren’t getting appropriate execution they need to change their contracts with the internalizers, switch to a different set or send directly to lit exchanges (which destroys their business model & likely gives worse execution than a more fair internalization setup would).
If Patrick reads this, their support had us going around in circles. We originally had an account manager, then we got a new one, then we got told we're not having an account manager and ended up getting a different person for the same expensive issue...

We were using managed accounts for our customers, wrapping Stripe to provide payment accounts to our customers. Stripe was allowing our customers to process refunds on payments even if they had negative balances and had no automated notifications in place to send us notice of these negative balances.

Stripe gave us no notice, and shut down payments for all of our customers and accounts until the balance was cleared. We basically got an email one day saying pay 40k~ and we'll unlock your accounts. This behaviour was going on for about 18 months I think, it wasn't just some issue that came about over 2 weeks. We were running our business in such a way that to us looked profitable and well-ran but Stripe was keeping an internal debit against us which they decided had reached it's cap and email us.

Their thinking was that they didn't have any responsibility to send notifications to us and they also didn't need to restrict refunds, we should do it on our application.. except the information we needed wasn't even available to us.

About 3 months afterwards, their platform magically started doing exactly what we were saying should have been their responsibility from day one. When you hit robotic support people who are reading from a script, your account manager is removed and your business depends on processing payments they really had all the power.

Very unhappy about this and we're still paying off the $40k that they decided to collect overnight from us...
How about stop silencing critics everywhere?
> Basic soldering is easy to improve with practice

If you're looking for a practical way to do this, consider hand-wiring your own keyboard. I did this a couple years back, with 75 keys or so. With the diodes on each key, it was about 225 solder joints plus whatever extra to land the matrix leads on the microcontroller.

Good variety, too. Some were wire-to-wire joints, others were wire wrapped around post, and a few where through-hole joints.

If I look at the underside of that keyboard, I can tell where I started and where I finished by how clean the solder joints look :)
If you copy over files directly built by your build steps, sure, you don't really need diffing images, you know where things are. If you're trying to build a minimal image with some specific dependencies copied over that are the result of things you have less control over diffing is pretty much the only way to figure out what you need IME. E.g. you want to copy only the parts of dependencies you actually need.
Thanks for that.

I still find it curious that according to the contract, they would have to give the money back if they change the name. At least thats whats being reported.
I believe for this example to be correct, the bank would also be hiding in its documentation that you have to pay an annual $100,000 mortgage paperwork fee for this 0% loan.
Is "having standards for what Google pursues for publications" really censorship? I think we'd need additional evidence to say so. If this isn't the first paper Google has stopped when an internal anonymous reviewer gives the red light, it sounds like they're just following their own process for quality control. Maybe the debate should be whether it is the best process for quality control.
Could you explain what is going on in this video? Are you building a microsat launcher that gets sent off while hanging from a helicopter?
Exactly. When did indifference and apathy become a virtue?
It is, but when you have ability to modify or fork a project, it is an insurance against corporations adding anti-features.
Totally agree! Really hoping to see a push for performance closer to the Google SERP Page Rank algorithm change going live.
If the question is "is there something technical preventing Microsoft from pivoting to a *nix kernel instead of NT" the answer is "no, and there hasn't been for at least 20 years - if ever".
I'm currently reading the book, "Why We Sleep (Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dreams)" right now and I'm stunned by all the new things we ignored when it comes to sleep. There are so many fascinating aspects of our life and body, all governed by Sleep.

I highly suggest reading the book to explore more about your sleep.
It's good UI for videos - that's it really.
There may not be specific laws preventing this sort of surveillance because it is unknown. Sure, you could have it considered as a general 4th ammendment violation which would protect the general population. You'll still have it used against small numbers of high-value targets.

I think the main thing preventing widespread use is that once you start using these technologies on a larger scale, then people can identify it's capabilities (making it less effective, especially against the highest value targets) and also creating public backlash once a sufficient number of 'normal' people have been targeted (without getting 'disappeared').
The significance of ARM on AWS: cost savings, climate goals and security
It has the properties of a two stroke engine. I hesitate to call it a two stroke because that isn't strictly true, apparently. However, it has a narrow power band, like a conventional two stroke. This means that it's a poor engine outside its power band; excessive emissions, inefficient, etc. Inside its power band it can be tuned to be clean and efficient.

So using it for constant RPM applications such as a generator can make sense. Using it as the prime mover where a wide power band is needed is a bad choice.
I'm distanced from American culture (to the extent that you can actually be in the West, which is not much) and what they said rings true to me, although there's no real point in focusing on specific politicians. For instance, most articles in the New York Times often seem like a parody of themselves. I am under the impression that American culture is flanderizing at a faster relative speed, but I am not sure what the nature of my bias is at this point.
Using IRC will 100% get you much better developer support from Stripe. It's staffed only by developers (a very good team of people IMO).

Disclaimer: former stripe employee, worked directly with said team.
You are misunderstanding what these terms actually mean. Free as in freedom basically implies free as in price. No one is hiding this. Free as in price does not imply free as in freedom. Free as in freedom is a lot stronger of a concept than free as in price.

You've stumbled upon one of the many benefits and consequences of free as in freedom. It should be obvious that the market value of anything free as in freedom will be zero. If you're an American citizen, I'll sell you freedom from government censorship for $5.
Aren't we heading for the same problem the way things are going with
dynamic frequency scaling in AMD and Intel processors? How do you

I’ve kept a journal since 2011. Some years I wrote a lot, one year I only wrote once. I have no plans to publish or share it with anyone while I’m alive but I may pass it on to a granddaughter or grandniece if I have one.
Dataset Enhancer – A free Data Augmentation tool that generates more samples
Love the data on this experiment. I made one of these during the wildfires, and it was apparent that it was working after just a few days. The once colorless filter had become noticeably grey/yellowed.
I actually do roll my own crypto library :D
Indeed. If most others know, good for them I guess. I didn't know, so I mentioned for others. I'm not well versed in Chinese history.

And my impression wasn't wrong, most people would've thought that way too given the picture. Stop gaslighting.
I would guess that since Robinhood has been found guilty of misleading customers it wouldn't be too difficult to say they were negotiating in bad faith.

Note: This is complete arm chair lawyering with no real world knowledge
Sure, but will Saka Keys allow you to configure the browser itself? Will it autoload the actual dotfile on startup if it's already in the expected configuration directory?

I'm not saying vim-like extensions aren't worth using, but they are inherently less capable due to hamstringing by WebExtension APIs. If anything, it's proof of how much work and care goes into them, since they have to fight the limitations of a framework not designed for this type of UI overhaul
I don't have all the facts here and neither, I believe, do you, and we don't know what recourses have been tried. My point is just that I find strange the view that the company is entitled to do anything as long as it's legal while employees aren't, and are expected to either leave or stay and shut up.
Would be happy to pay USD 80 for it as well
Reverie Labs (YC W18) is hiring senior full-stack engineers to help cure cancer
This kind of liability mitigation use case is at odds with academic freedom. Your view would imply making AI part of your InfoSec / CyberOps team, not an academic research group.
Ironic if true since given current trends there won’t be many white/western people left within a short amount of time.
That’s not surprising at all. From a paper on circadian expression:

> We found 43% of all protein coding genes showed circadian rhythms in transcription somewhere in the body, largely in an organ-specific manner.

Assuming they looked at more than one protein biomarker, it’s highly likely that one of them would have circadian expression.

Yeah it's actually pretty damn good. Performance was better than it was with WSL1 for me, at least (especially IO). IIRC they are exploring USB passthrough using Hyper-V sockets, but it's still very early to actually talk about having that included[1]

Once they figure that out I might just as well be able to switch over and stop dual booting. I hate dual booting more than I hate Windows, so it would be an improvement.

He's certainly achieved a lot, but I think that's overstating it. BSD and pcc started 10 years before GNU, and if it wasn't for the failed law suit against it by AT&T there wouldn't have been any need for Linux either. Free and open source software has deep roots, GNU has been a great champion for the movement, but it doesn't represent all of open source and it didn't create the concept.
In my tests with the mix of files on this particular virtual machine, increasing the compression ratio of zstd to achieve an equally small output file size as xzip, it's equally as slow on a per-core basis.

It does have a performance advantage in that it by default uses both CPU cores, while a default tar with -J option will use xzip on only one CPU core.
I own some because I thought it was a neat idea when I was in grad school and talking about these concepts with other comp sci folks, but I have had a hard time finding use cases beyond speculation that aren't covered by other options today. Re: taxes, bitcoin should not matter at all unless these people are hiding money illegally and bitcoin is making that easier. You don't get to avoid taxes because you're using bitcoin. There are a lot of people who have not realized they owe money to their government when buying and selling crypto, which has caused major issues for folks who aren't prepared and put aside taxes appropriately.
Coroner: State included a murder-suicide in Covid deaths
That's pure HN solipsism.

I don't know how you can look at plummeting rates of illiteracy, child mortality, polio(!) and countless other scourges on humanity and conclude that no impressive progress has been made since 1950 outside of computers.

The first (internal) organ transplant was only in 1954. The amount of progress made in medicine and pharmaceuticals alone is staggering.
I've been struggling with this. Should a company be expected to obey the local government and local laws, even if they seem unjust? Or should they uphold the values of their country of origin in foreign countries where they operate?

What does history teach us about what companies have done in the past in similar situations? Was the outcome good?

I'm genuinely curious.
My little dog recently started learning new ways of communicating with us. She does the standard pawing at the door of a room she wants to enter. She then began pawing at her food bowl when she wants food. It now seems like she has started experimenting by pawing at other random objects, then watching for a reaction to see what we do. When we forget to take her down from the bed (she’s scared to jump off), she’ll do a distinct little gruff bark as if to say, “Hey! Come get me!” She now uses a similar bark to tell us when she wants us to remove her little sweaters hahaha
This could spare certain engineers so many Slack conversations.

Any plans on making something like a Helm chart to deploy to Kubernetes easily?
xz on highest (normal) compression level easily beats the compression ratio of zstd on highest compression level (--ultra -22) on any data I've tested. However with xz reading the compressed files easily becomes a bottleneck, zstd has great read speeds regardless of compression ratio.
Tool automatically generates Lorem Ipsum placeholder text on any topic
You just input a topic into the search box and it automatically writes placeholder text on that topic.

Some of my favorites are bacon ipsum, spider ipsum, and Michael Jackson ipsum. Who knew placeholder text could be so entertaining?
Yes, it can be seen and searched on https://malware.prevasio.com/

Looks like the vast majority are images that are intended to mine coins, but there are a few "normal-looking" ones in the top as well
Not so much. French tends to have words that are pronounced the same but are written differently thanks to all the silent letters and combinations that are pronounced the same:

vers, verre, vert.

mer, mère, maire.

In writing you can usually do away with all the accents (many of them are grammatical or the strictly correct spelling but without changing the pronunciation and with little change of the 'look' of the word) without problems.
I don’t get it. If you sell stocks at the market price it wouldn’t be the market price but something cheaper that RB would buy and then sell at the real market price?
Any other year, this would be a believable story.
Am I dating myself by thinking of this when I read the article title?

To add a bit of context: brokerages like Robinhood send buy/sell orders to national exchanges and to private trading firms e.g. high-frequency traders. Private firms provide price improvement: orders that execute at prices better than the national exchange. All brokerages have a duty of best execution, including a duty of price improvement. Brokerages can also receive payment for order flow from private firms, as long as it does not interfere with best execution. However, "Robinhood explicitly offered to accept less price improvement for its customers... in exchange for receiving a higher payment for order flow," which is illegal.

I've wanted to use zstandard with a dictionary, but how do people manage their dictionaries? What if I want to update a dictionary, will that break old compressed data? Do I need to 'tag' the data so I know which dictionary to fetch?
Revocation is done in the ShareWith app or API. The ShareWith OIDC service does not handle the refresh tokens; those get handled by your upstream SSO. It's entirely up to whatever application is consuming our OIDC to decide how to set cookies that would make the session short or long lived. In the case of OAuth2Proxy, the default cookie lasts 5 minutes.
Yes. It's important to remember that the person who commissioned the painting was a Muslim, and in Islam both men and women are supposed to shave their genital area and underarms, because that's their proper state, according to islamic belief.

Uptime Monitoring Got 3000 Views since August 2020
I remember the day I posted my site here.
Someone commented and told me that the site needed to give value to its users apart from just being a website's directory.
So i got on a path to make it do two things.
1. Uptime Monitoring for other websites.
2. Traffic Analytics

I had to learn a lot from August 2020 and am still learning and adding up features to the site to make it more valuable to the user.

To genuinely see the number of traffic coming to my site, i used my own traffic analytics and made it public on weblister.co/demo
I blocked my self so that the site does not count me as a visitor when i open it and that i should see the real number of visitors coming through.

I posted on appsumo.com/weblister and I got 6 sales in the last 1 month of being active. I know, its not much, but I treasure my clients with my heart.

Thanks to that one guy from here who gave me a critic and inspired me to make something people can pay for.
Debian is free software. You can purchase Debian install CDs for a nominal price. You are free to share your Debian install CDs with others as much as you want. This is free as in freedom, even though you paid money for it.
GitHub Removes “Cookie Banners”
Beyond PR, if all the ethical AI people work for Google and none for governments or other regulatory entities, then Google has cleared the path for themselves in terms of regulation or they will be able to run circles around whatever does come up.

Certainly been ones looking at effects of lack of sleep and this jumped out: https://www.nih.gov/news-events/nih-research-matters/sleep-d...

Like most thinks, they have an effect and increase the odds, don't guarantee that lack of sleep during your life will assure you get it, just increases the chances as does age, which maybe a factor with such occupations you mention.

I'd imagine shift workers would be a source of study about sleep impact.

I got that book based upon a HN recommendation. It's fascinating reading and made me think carefully about how much sleep I was getting.

I used to think of sleep as something that I could put off on a whim and catch-up on over the weekend. I would stay up later to play video games or program if I felt like it. Now, I'm a lot more rigorous in keeping to my nighttime sleep schedule. Whatever I'm doing can normally wait until the next day.
I find it sad that a good chunk of HN seems to just go with the "she's a toxic person" narrative without ever relaying what she actually DID.
Ironically, the self identified "anti-SJW" are cancelling her by complaining about her "toxicity" and "attempts to cancel people" in vague terms.

I also find it sad that apparently, freedom of speech and free actions end when it comes to criticizing your employer in public, showing worker solidarity in public and asking for others to show their criticism in words and actions.
A shocking number of developers I know who use FOSS have no idea that there is even some kind of philosophy behind free software, relating to politics and ethics. Basically zero idea about licenses outside generic FUD about the viral nature of the GPL etc.

The ethical-philosophical free software people are terrible at marketing and getting their message across.

It's still just a small niche subculture despite the wide adoption of GNU tools and licenses. You'll never reach further with all the silly in joke stuff like Chief GNUisance etc. You'd need charismatic frontline personalities (there's a wide spectrum to explore between RMS and sleazy snake oil salesmen), who don't immediately put off the general population.
We've actually integrated with our Kubernetes ingress to protect our own dashboards via ShareWith. Right now, our "Usage" tab shows how to setup oauth proxy or use via OIDC directly, but we're looking into expanding the examples for Kubernetes and other common use cases
Uhh, given that safari users are using apple devices, I'm going to argue the opposite, that safari users are more likely to spend money.
It appears that some people in her management hierarchy (notably NOT including her direct manager, who thought highly of her) found themselves in conflict with her. Her peers (which is more how I would generally define "coworker") appear to be backing her in this conflict, and blaming management as well.

A number of posters (mostly using throwaway accounts) are interpreting this as a group of fair and reasonable managers being beset by the most toxic team that ever toxied in the history of toxicity. I submit that the facts in evidence permit the opposite hypothesis: That it is Google that has difficulties living up to ethical standards of conduct, and that it is the management of the ethical AI team that is not living up to their professional responsibilities.

For all the posturing about Social Justice Warriors run amok, the idea that Google has some 'splaining to do about its conduct is not exactly confined to left wing circles, as evidenced e.g. by yesterday's lawsuit filed by Texas et al. And I suspect it's exactly this increased scrutiny that is leading to these ham-handed and probably counterproductive attempts to first hire "ethical AI" teams and then try to silence their output.
Has anyone done the calculations on the pricing comparisons for github actions, netlify, vercel, cloudflare etc?
My mother has dementia, and I know 5 other close friends that are starting to deal with it as well. This is becoming an epidemic and what people don’t realize is that it is extremely expensive and exceedingly cruel. Most health care systems, including Canada and the US, do not handle dementia well at all. You have the choice of becoming financially destitute keeping your parents in a dignified setting, or you can let them essentially rot in a public facility which is basically a hospital. It’s terrible and needs a better solution.
