> this is exactly what every single other free brokerage does

Kind of, but the article specifically mentions that Robinhood is getting 4x more money than the industry average, in exchange for giving users worse prices:

> Typically, the SEC found, payments for order flow equal about 20% of the average price improvement that investors realize on their trades. But Robinhood insisted on receiving what amounted to 80% of the improvement: 4 times the customary level.

> When Robinhood made that demand, the principal trading firms with which it was negotiating informed the company that something had to give. If Robinhood were to take that much of the proceeds for itself, then “there would be less money available for the principal trading firms to provide price improvement for Robinhood’s customers.” In other words, Robinhood explicitly was informed that more for it meant less for its customers. The company accepted those terms.

>They'll almost universally tell you that their field is undervalued, underappreciated

This is most likely due to an availability bias. They have concrete examples in their own sphere but not near as much detail about competing domains. This leads to the mistaken assumption that their own field more important than it possibly would be if viewed in the overarching context

There are many comments that identify the work by corporate sponsored researchers as fraud and not research.

I have the unpopular opinion, and I vehemently disagree.

There is no altruistic, sponsored research, no matter of the sponsor, be it corporate, government, non profit, or the Holy See.

There is always a specific outcome the sponsor hopes for. The question is, how much pressure the sponsor puts on the researcher not to publish failed or unfavorable outcomes? And, we all know majority of failed research never gets published.

Let's presume that we accept sponsorship. What is acceptable level of pressure? I think this is very subjective.

To be clear, falsifying by modification, omission or addition of data is fraud. Drawing the wrong conclusion is not.

The only time I have seen altruistic, "clean" research was performed by individuals as hobby. Once there are more than one person involved, there will be some preferred outcome. Nature of humanity.

The iOS app looks great. Thanks for the tip. It even has 3D visualisations of topography with satellite imagery.

Had tried to find similar apps for hiking recently and ended up with free versions of paid apps that were deliberately crippled, this looks perfect for what I need. Shame it’s not easier to find in App Store.

It even has a feature to find a trail looping a fixed distance from a point - I haven’t seen this on other apps and it’s really fast.

Influencers are very often harmful.

1. Their aspirational lifestyles perpetuate feelings of inadequacy amongst their viewers, especially when their target market is often predominantly young people. Their audiences grow up with self doubt and anxiety by comparing their lives to that of the influencers they follow.

2. They are in the pockets of their advertisers and sponsors. Any recommendations they make are inherently disingenuous.

3. They’re often just really terrible people. Being the kind of attention-seeker who is able to command a large online following often seems to correlate with being a jerk. Just look at Jake and Logan Paul — two of the biggest stars of today, and both mired in controversy and bad choices.

IMO, 5G is about automation and command/control of roving robots, “Smart Cities”, and finally Augmented Reality (AR) in industrial and urban contexts. Applications range from benign factory automation to Boston Dynamics police dogs patrolling your neighborhood, to your walking in downtown Tokyo and being (virtually) greeted by AR entities.

What is it that WiFi can not do but 5G can? 5G’s much lower latencies allow for R/T CnC (which enables all of the above).

So, for example, your factory floor bot’s camera sees something that it’s local AI can’t categorize, so a central node with greater computational power and storage capacity can (in R/T) make decisions and send operative commands:

Do the roundtrip latency calc for below for 4G and 5G:

OK, I see your point. I guess I'm spoiled in that the government in my country is not very corrupt. Sure a little, but not very.

But we also have our fair share of disputes over what businesses can open, which have to close, etc.
The problem is a very difficult one, so it's to be expected that there will be inconsistencies and some unfair treatment unfortunately.

In the best case the businesses that are forced to close get some help with payroll and such. Then again there is the problem of who gets help. You said small consultancies don't get help where you're from but big ones do. That sounds corrupt and so I can understand your viewpoint better.

Sometimes small businesses or individual operators don't get support because they have neglected proper taxes. They surely feel treated unfairly, but are they?
It's a hard problem.

Note that I'm not saying that's the case with your example, I can totally see a corrupt government helping their lobbyist friends in this way.

Speaking of corporate interests, it seems I really spooked some readers by mentioning asset taxes.

Same thing for me, I love OsmAnd and I paid to support it, but I'm frequently completely lost in the UI. I have used it for years and still I often need to kill it to be able to leave the menu.

Why? Pizza Hut was a fun experience as a Western group visiting Hong Kong some years ago; it isn't nearly what you'd think for "Pizza Hut"!

52% of voters in the 2020 election were over 50 [1], so they're not even that disconnected generationally from their voters.
The median age of Americans overall is 38 [2], and if you took out minors, you're probably well over 40. Again not that different in age.

One could also argue that since the USA is getting older all the time, that gap is going to disappear completely in the next 10-20 years.

Indeed. For what it’s worth I don’t think Robinhood intentionally created a product that can serve its users up on a platter. Robinhood’s platform can still be used in a way that creates a lot of value for disciplined value investors with long time horizons so long as they are careful with their order types. I think they’re just not watching their blind spots in an industry that thrives off exploiting blind spots, and their efforts to grow their product are outpacing their efforts at being market savvy.

In an adjacent thread [1], you have presented the increasing diabetes and obesity in young people as a problem.

Plenty room for more (concurrent) layers, too!

I've only recently embraced using multi-stage build to concurrently split a build in two to four steps

* (one or more) fetcher, for fetching (say) the source package or cloning a git repo in the proper commit/branch, or having external dependencies whose output could be cached regardless of the rest of the dockerfile contents

* builder, which uses "COPY --from=fetcher" to "bring over" the code or dependencies

* the actual resulting image, which oftentimes could well be a "FROM scratch" and be just comprised of "COPY --from=builder" instructions.

With "docker buildx", or with "DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 docker build", it's pure joy to use!
Your assumptions fall apart of you consider that it's not all skill, part of it is random.

You're falling into the same trap. You think someone is better when in all probability they got luckier. And you think that picking someone you think is better will statistically get you a better person when that's not true if credentials are highly luck based. It's like buying lotto tickets from a gas station that's produced more winners in the past.

I'm saying your measurements aren't going to be any better than whatever percent of "skill" is randomness. CEO candidate 2 went to a better school but you don't know that it was his grandpa's alma matter who pulled some strings. Candidate 3 might be a multimillionaire but it's because he got a settlement from a malfunctioning ski lift when he was 10.

A lot of the "signals" companies use to determine if somebody would be a good leader or employee are 100% luck based. You could statistically pick a worse candidate every time that looks betters if you're looking at the wrong signals.

I’ve never had a spotify account and whenever I want to listen to a specific song I go to youtube, even if I had already bought the song on bandcamp. It is amazing, sometimes I discover for the first time that the song has an amazing music video, or—better yet—a fan made music video (see e.g. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TOeL6PYrU8M).

I can’t speak much for the recommendations, as I am fine with getting my recommendations from the radio and I prefer listening to whole CDs over playlists.
I sort of handwaved this away - even with ofdm there is sharing of a finite spectrum subject to noise/neighbours etc - but it will likely get much better. And radios (in the ap) is still a limitation:

https://meraki.cisco.com/lib/pdf/meraki_whitepaper_wifi6.pdf

> MU-MIMO is technology that allows an AP to service multiple clients simultaneously across a
supported number of wireless streams or channels. While this capability existed in 802.11ac, multi-user
MIMO will now add communication in the upstream direction. With 8x8 support, which was added
during the 802.11n amendment, new APs can now support four simultaneous 2x2 MU-MIMO clients
in both the upstream and downstream directions. MU-MIMO will work together with OFDMA to allow
multiple clients to communicate simultaneously across multiple frequency ranges as well as multiple
spatial streams.

This along with ofdm helping with the simplex problem, will likely mean a wireless ap can come close to a 4 or maybe 8 port switch - but will still be far away from a 24 port switch in terms of full duplex throughput.

This is likely to make a difference if streaming film from a NAS and on to a display, using miracast over infrastructure[1] or similar bw heavy applications - consider for example two displays and two devices doing this via one ap.

Generic Loperamide is affordable while being great at what it does. If you think you could use it, I'd highly recommend keeping some around.

If Loperamide alone (as opposed to other opiods) ends up being useful for this treatment in humans, I wonder what the impact will be on the price or OTC availability, if any - possibly nil because a special method of application might be required (nanoparticles)? Has something similar to this happened previously with another OTC drug and actually made it to market?

Haha, maybe in about 6 months from now...
I think this is the main takeaway from the article. The whole time i read it I kept thinking, that this actually sounds like a good tradeoff for the average Robin Hood customer.

The way that this is bad is if you are a high frequency trader making micro-trades to capitalize on tiny upticks throughout the day. These rely on frequent 0.5% upticks to make money, so a 0.5% surcharge cancels out its effectiveness. Or someone who is pushing significant capital through the brokerage. If you are pushing $10k - $100k trades then this starts to really significantly hurt you. But then again, Robin Hood isn't really meant for you either. Schwabe, TD Ameritrade, Fedelity would work better for you.

But for the average Robin Hood investor, most of us are making a handful of trades a month at small volumes (yes, even $1,000 trade is a small volume). Most Robin Hood customers are trading even less. A single share here and there.

In the later case, this technique for revenue generation from Robin Hood is actually GOOD for its customers. Instead of paying a flat $7 trade fee that a larger investment firm might charge, you get a "free" trade that technically was marked up 0.5%. So on a $50 share, this means you pay $50.25, essentially a 25¢ fee. This is still better for Robin Hoods customers. And Robin Hood making money is actually a good thing for their customers, because it means they can stay around and continue to exist. Robin Hood serves a niche in the trading space that larger firms have no interest in serving. Robin Hood is starting to learn why the larger firms have no interest in this space, but if Robin Hood can figure it out, then it is good for the larger population that can benefit from its service.
>With a decent down payment (lets say ~15%) that's still less than 5 years salary even with interest

I recently started a mortgage and the guidance I regularly saw was that your home price should not exceed 2.5 years of your income. And, this is with very low interest rates, esp compared to the 80's.

I don't think I couldn't afford the monthly payments on a house that was 5x our household income, even after 20% down and only 3% APR. Then again, maybe I could, but I'm more conservative with my wallet and prefer to have more cash on hand and other investments.

Your cost of living comparison is apt though. Maybe I'd be more comfortable with my mortgage being a larger % of my take home if everything else were significantly cheaper....

Congress is paid $174,000 per year which hasn’t increased since 2009 and was worth more back then. That’s a much larger difference than the amount of savings they have.

Anyway, 95 percent of today’s House members and 100 percent of the Senate’s have a bachelor’s degree or higher. 1/2 have a law degree and they include several doctors etc.

So, based on their current salary and likely professional background having 500k vs 300k of savings actually seems kind of low IMO. I mean running for congress takes more drive than the average person, so presumably higher net worth should be expected.

By comparison the net worth of the top 1% for all 60 year olds, collage education or not is over 4 million.
What an odd comment.

The article is not claiming that these people are the most influential people in America, just that these are the most influential octogenarians. The same article could be written for any age range. And commenting about how "scary" it is that there are influential teens or 40somethings would be equally strange.

And perhaps there's value in generational diversity?

The first half of the comment seems to just serve as a conclusion drawn from the premise in the last line, which doesn't have a ton to do with the article, other than the fact that 3 of the listed people are politicians. But then, there are thousands of politicians across the country, and it stands to reason that longer tenure tends to be paired with a sense of influence.

Of course, the article also has activists and donors media types, and so on. But, again, these kinds of people tend to have influence, and are found at many ages.
