Oh, you watched a game streams? How about I show you three of that game on the top of the page until you stop coming back.

This is a rumor that won’t die because it’s too enticing to believe and tack onto any anti-Google sentiment.

> That Robinhood sold its order flow is unremarkable, but the scale of its activities certainly merits comment. Forbes reports that in the first quarter 2020, 70% of Robinhood’s revenues derived from payments for order flows, as opposed to 17% for E-Trade and just 3% for Schwab. Yes, Robinhood has observed standard practice–but with distinctly above-average enthusiasm.

Those other brokerages charge trading fees (these days, just for options trading), so of course their proportion of revenue from order flow will be lower.
What about this:

"Subsequent correspondence from a researcher to reviewers shows authors “updated to remove all references to Google products.” A draft seen by Reuters had mentioned Google-owned YouTube"

or this:

"""A draft reviewed by Reuters included “concerns” that this technology can promote “disinformation, discriminatory or otherwise unfair results” and “insufficient diversity of content,” as well as lead to “political polarization.”

The final publication instead says the systems can promote “accurate information, fairness, and diversity of content.”"""

or this:

"A paper this month on AI for understanding a foreign language softened a reference to how the Google Translate product was making mistakes following a request from company reviewers, a source said"

or this:

"A draft described how such disclosures could infringe copyrights or violate European privacy law, a person familiar with the matter said. Following company reviews, authors removed the legal risks, and Google published the paper"

Seems like there's a lot more than "two sentences".

Removing the treasures from their context removes a lot of the scientific value of the finds. A coin tells us that the much more if you know where it was buried.

> This tale also illustrates the point that you can move companies from Wall Street to Silicon Valley, and replace cynical baby boomers with optimistic millennials (Robinhood’s co-founders are in their mid-30s) who issue rousing mission statements, such as Robinhood’s promise to “democratize finance for all,” but ultimately the underlying math does not change. Sometimes, a business decides that its fortunes may diverge from those of its customers. Caveat emptor.

This was completely unnecessary, but true.

And now, please permit me a hearty laugh at the expense of millennials...

LOLOLOL

However, I know people that have used robinhood, I’m upset that they were affected, and I don’t blame millennials.
This is true however with is fairly uncommon, so as with any feature of languages that add syntax like this it's up to your judgement as to when to use it.

I don't think most people see Robinhood as a competitor to Schwab or eTrade. It's a competitor to mobile games. The millenial/zoomer cohort that primarily uses it are not investing for their retirements with it. It's a casino app used for entertainment.

I will bait too, as someone who has stood in line for male toilets in a Google office.

In the office I was in there where generally 1 sitting and 2 standing seats per male toilet.

The standing one are quick in / quick out and almost always free. But good luck finding vacant sitting spot after lunch.

Edit: female restrooms generally had 3 sitting spots, so same size.
fwiw I agree with the parent comment. This article, especially the ludicrous attempt to tie in the Gebru stuff, is super weak and absent of any details or anything substantial.

I don’t see anything in the article that suggests Google suppresses unfavorable research or censors authors whatsoever. Instead it sounds like a lot of whining and complaining from exceedingly privileged researchers who want some version of tenure to apply within for-profit companies and seem too immature to accept that legal and compliance functions within a large corporation very differently than in academia.
1. I do

2. Most consumers have no next to no information that wasn't given to them by the marketing departments of the companies, so that isn't an argument against basic regulation on things like consumer freedom.
Practically no one was harmed by this. A penny or two per trade. It’s more the principle of the matter than the actual costs. The fact that Robinhood was clearly lying is the most concerning thing.

This article isn't exactly convincing. The SEC identified $34mm in poor execution. If you did 65c each way per option contract & free stock trades that would only be 52.3m option trades. That's miniscule. That's over 5 years. It would take a whole lot of unidentified trades for that to be substantial.

The spread on most trades is probably in the range of 50c on low liquidity shares and $1 on low liquidity options.

Perhaps the reason RH collects more in revenue from order flow is because they:

1) get paid more for their order flow on a per trade basis

2) they don't collect any fees from options driving down revenue

3) they charge less for margin fees with less users using margin

There are any number of reasons, but to say that you're getting royally screwed is a massive stretch in my mind. Prior to RH fees were outrageous. The fees are still outrageous on my self-directed 401k. I'm not getting $10 in losses from bad execution.
My team hosts a weekly call where we sum up our progress for the last week and loosely plan the activities for the next week.

It's very useful. It adds value, since during this kind of conversation one can offer useful suggestion or another point of view on an issue that they hadn't addressed before (because they were working on something else, for example).

Different use case: incident handling with tight time constraints. In other words: prod offline and has to be brought up asap, but coordination is needed in touching the various systems. A 2+ people voice call is a godsend because now everything is "in sync" and usually updated in real time with what other people are doing.

Your opinion is not unpopular, is just the product of an HN-like echo chamber. People advocating of async-only communications are a small minority that makes a lot of noise, it's a common situation.
I deal with this on a regular basis in the research world, there is what is a really toxic and dangerous bias towards constructing the positive, i.e., making things seem, appear, and even fabricate outcomes that will be affirming of desired outcomes or other group biases.

It is not research, let alone science when you are striking a positive tone, it’s fraud.
When scientists write results sections and abstracts they strike a tone. They make an argument for why the raw data is meaningful. Scientists interpret data, which involves a layer of human analysis that is not objective but is attempting to find the correct language and narrative to describe the results of an objective, quantitative process. Outside of the methods and data sections, academic science writing absolutely has to strike a tone. And especially when you are seeking grants and career progression one of the tones you have to strike is to highlight the importance of the work.

Once in a science course in college, I had to present a paper to my class. I tried to present it "objectively" as you would describe it, avoid striking a tone or making judgements. My professor told my presentation was technically correct but failed to highlight the broad significance of the research, which comes from tone. Science writing requires selecting a tone of voice.

If I ever plucked a single sentence out of a long post and called attention to it context-free, I could probably make whoever posted it look fairly bad. But, in the context of news articles, it becomes the headline? Was the context "Try to strike a positive tone...or else you're fired" - or "Try to strike a positive tone...you've shown that these problems are solvable"

Yes, because if you remove treasures from their context we you often destroy an important archeological site. Many European countries do not want looters to destroy their heritages and windows into history.
> Why do you think the toilet issue you described is a problem that needs to be fixed?

Because this way Google was effectively paying me loads of money to just go through 7 floors of bathrooms to find an empty one when I needed to use it. It's a waste of corporate resources to use a human resource's time like this. At the end the solution for me was just using the disabled toilet, as we didn't have disabled people on the floor at all.

One solution would be to just build more sitting toilets instead of the standing ones, as those ones weren't used as much. But on 1 floor there were 2 bathrooms for women and 2 for men, so yes, repurposing some would have helped.

The article mentions that may just be the amount the SEC can actually prove.

> Overall, Robinhood’s investors may not have been harmed by their decision. The SEC identified $34 million that Robinhood customers lost by not receiving best execution, which is much less than the money they saved by forgoing trading commissions. (That said, their losses might also be much higher. That $34 million comes only from “certain” transactions, which might be the tip of the iceberg that the SEC possessed the ability to measure.) They were, however, duped.
Interesting I interpreted its small size to mean it would have to link to external dependencies for the majority of what it does.
Only place limit orders. If you place a market order you will absolutely get a bad execution price on Robinhood.
You know it's bad when one of the reasons for dismissing a video is "I've watched this before". If I didn't know any better, I'd say it's a separate sub-system(gasp, microservice) that doesn't integrate nicely with the service that stores/holds your previous viewing history.
It's not about the person, but the idea.
oh don't be silly
alternativeto.net has a better database and a better interface, imo. You search for the software you want an alternative to, then choose your platform and license, and get a list of alternatives sorted by popularity. For instance, look up Altium (electronic schematic/PCB CAD package), and it shows results like KiCAD (open source, free), Eagle (very proprietary), LibrePCB (new open source project), Schematics.com (web-based). It even has entries for program features and description, so you can see what makes a program or service an alternative.
That's an actually good question. AI is supposed to be fed with real-live data, after all it has to be something usable in the real-world.

Now, you feed AI with crime data, looking at statistics such AI will suspect people having black color of the skin to be criminals more often than people with white skin. Is that ok? Is it ok to say that if some person happens to have black skin there is a bigger chance that it is criminal?

In statistical terms the answer is yes, but if we deal with an actual person, we should treat it as a unique person and the matter of the skin color should not matter.

Before II World War there were scientific studies in Germany that showed that in some big cities districts there are more rats. Accidentally or not, it turned out that those are districts with large Jewish population. So Nazis took those statistical results to prove that Jews are dirty, spread diseases, etc. Was that science, even though it was peer reviewed and published? Rather not (in the first place they didn't even bother to check if people living there were rich, poor, etc.).

History knows many "scientific researches" by the ones like Eugen Fisher, dr. Mengele, that were performed in a scientific way, but they were lacking something very important and non-trivial: ethics.

Now the problem is that ethics needs to have some source, it does not grow on a tree. For ages Christianity was a source of ethics in Europe (less in US, that's why you could have slavery in modern times there), currently Christianity is almost gone in Europe, the question is were to seek the source of ethics.
The search function still exists, recommendations are really aimed at low effort engagement. YouTube recommendations are only aiming for the equivalent quality of channel surfing when most user generated content is really bad.

Sadly, it’s largely your own history that clogs the recommendations. The less you use a recommendation engine the more relevant it becomes.
> Chaslot noted that divisive and sensational content is often recommended widely: conspiracy theories, fake news, flat-Earther videos

Not true at all. In many countries, content from Corona-deniers is instantly removed, even in live streams, and their creators are banned for 1 or 2 weeks.

Edit: Downvoters, please just comment
100% in agreement, that's how I felt too.
I always thought the recommendations were fine but today I was setting up an old Mac Mini I found and I saw the default recommendations because I wasn’t logged in, there were a weird amount of videos about Muslims and conspiracies for some reason.
I love coming to HN to see factually true comments being flagged.
Yes and no. You can report finds and get a reward in most countries but you might risk incriminating yourself at the same time in countries where metal detectors are banned. If it is a one off you are fine, but if you go around finding tons of coins all over the country and reporting them it will look suspicious.

There are two “kinds” of 5G, since 5G is a broad marketing term:

- Regular deployments anywhere between 600MHz and 3500MHz (or so), as an iteration on 4G. Actual band depends on the country, licensing and spectrum needs.

- 5G ultra wide band (UWB), which is often deployed around 30-38GHz, and is thus highly attenuated and needs to be extremely directional. This is the “street corner only” type of 5G.

Public institutions tend to observe the same policies, even when there's no direct commercial interest.

For example, if you join a Math department and start publishing papers that cast the department's research interests in a negative light, that's often a good way to get fired.

I mean, seriously, go ask just about any professor of any topic at any university if their field is undervalued or overvalued. They'll almost universally tell you that their field is undervalued, underappreciated, and more important than people think. They deserve more funding, and you should definitely consider majoring in their field.
>> You’ve got me wishing it was filmic - unless I’m mistaken it’s 576i :(

It’s free on YouTube. The most people have to lose is their time, and it's Alec Guinness, so of course people should watch it and form their own opinions.

It's an interesting topic that doesn't involve the ongoing decline of civilization, or Rust, so I don't think you should be shy about it.

Well my time is definitely not free; people pay lots of money for access to it.

The problem with "muh welcome to upper middle class prosperity" lists like this is it doesn't account for the management time and mental load involved in something like "Hire a researcher or expert consultant." For that matter "Cleaning services" or "Hire a graphic designer to turn your appalling sketches into ..." require significant cognitive overhead and time to hire and manage unless you or your spouse or close friends are already doing such things for your day job. If you're already doing such things for your day job you probably already thought of these things.

Some of them are pretty insane: people who need a maid to chuck their clothes into the washer and dryer, then put them away: if it takes you longer than 15 minutes a week to do this ... I have to wonder at your wardrobe. I mean, I understand some people deeply resent performing such menial tasks, or maybe they have large families, but it's not that big a job compared to feeding yourself and getting some exercise.

For myself, hiring experts to assist with my day to day life has been a fairly mixed bag, and my education, hobbies and lifestyle is such that DiY is usually the win.
Oh yeah. Those are surely independent and don’t have aims at all.

Exactly! The default CSS browser stylesheet is a reverse engineering of how Netscape 2.0 rendered HTML. It had to be, since otherwise CSS wouldn't be backwards compatible, which would have killed it. But it was also a good starting point because browsers had to solve this exact problem: Layout text so it it readable regardless of screen dimensions.

Except that HTML rending was never specified (and varied significantly between browsers), so CSS basically codified the defacto HTML rendering in mainstream browsers, and then described this as the "browser style sheet".

CSS then allowed the author to override anything they wanted to change. But the default for anything not overriden was the browser style sheet, which was a sane default which adapted to all screen sizes.
