Democracy is why America has already fallen. "The United States shall guarantee to every State in this
Union a Republican Form of Government". When people asked, "What have you given as Mr.Franklin?" He said, "A REPUBLIC. IF YOU CAN KEEP IT". What if, I am and my friend will decide to beat you up and steal your stuff? It's bad, isn't it? But what if we outvote you and send a senator to steal your stuff, why is this ok? The wealthiest country in the world was built by freedom and supremacy of people's rights (Life, Liberty, Property, Pursuit of Happiness). None of that exists anymore, America has Democrats(Left) and Republicans(they actually Democrats, today JFK would be Republican).
Regarding authenticity, from the TechCrunch article about this:

> The networking company quickly followed its email with a post on its community pages confirming that the email was authentic, after several complained that the email sent to customers included typos.

Indeed: How am I supposed to know whether this email is really from Ubiquiti?

* There was apparently no official press release.

* All links in the email, including the "Change password" button, are to e.g. `https://ui.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=somehexnumber&i...`.

* The delivering server is `mail42.atl11.rsgsv.net`, which the TLD of which doesn't seem to resolve in my browser to provide hints.

* Various news sites that reported this either just referred to "emails people got", screenshots random people got via Twitter, or link to the Mailchimp site, for which I'm not sure how to verify whether the "ubnt" account actually belongs to Ubiquiti.

Given this, how shall the normal affected user figure out that this isn't well-executed phishing?

It seems companies could do a much better job making it obvious that their emails are legit. Especially if they were just breached, and "Change password" buttons are involved.
I don't know how much of that outsourcing is true outsourcing. CDPR has around 800 employees total and they've said they have 350[1]-450[2] people working on the game (estimated to be 500 in Oct 2019[3]). Much of that outsourcing might be CDPR hiring artists as contractors as part of the AAA industry's underpaying hire-fire cycle of development.

Sigh, this is FUD. One Bitcoin costs $35k as I type this. I bought in at around $18k, and I'm not selling it no matter what happens to the price in USD.
Ok, I get that - I don't think it really addresses my concern/question about whether or not this is far in the range of diminishing utility.

Put it another way, if the number of HFT trades were suddenly cut in half, what 1st order impacts would be felt by people outside those markets? The heart of the "but we're providing liquidity" argument is that this is a service provided that has real value outside the market. If that's not true the particular argument falls apart, doesn't it?
I need to set up multiple wifi SSIDs, each on a distinct VLAN, and apply firewall rules to ensure things like: hosts in the "home" vlan can open connections to hosts in the "iot" vlan, but "iot" cannot open connections to "home".
Thank you. This sincerely makes me feel better. And not that it’s related but right after hoofing a bunch of crap up a hill in rain with bags falling apart and almost losing a bunch of household basics, it’s a pleasant thing to return to an exchange on here that’s considerate and not escalated.

Addressing your response, I’m sure there’s a bit of detectable woo even after clarification, but it’s just wonder. I don’t think there’s a magical energy core connecting all life. I just think that it’s a fascinating thing about physical reality that a mathematical constant as defined by humans is something that finds expression in a lot of seemingly unrelated places.

It’s entirely possible that the ratio is just common enough in growth patterns, or just a pattern than emerges when the right set of otherwise common constraints come together.

It’s just neat to me, that’s all.

I honestly wonder where these protests are being planned. I've been scouring all the places that the implied crowd frequents as I have for years (social media and it's impact fascinates me) and I've seen few mentions of a planned activity and all such mentions have been in the vain of, 'Do not go to any armed protest on inauguration day it is a false flag'. I imagine if people are actually planning things which we should believe because the FBI has said it is true it means that the plotters have moved off of public social media and into the shadows of various end to end encrypted tools.

Can you provide the specific tweets so we know what you're talking about?

But yes, if you consider "making a list" to be violence, I guess we do have different understandings. I hope you apply this understanding in all directions, to your political compatriots too, telling them they are being violent (presumably in an undesirable way) when they do things like make lists? Or wait, you just presume that she was going to do something? Yeah, I"m curious to see the tweet. It sounds like a lot of presuming...

But cause if AOC isn't the worst you have seen... why did you use her as an example? Like, everyone is always using AOC as an example, when to me she's like one of the smartest and kindest politicians I know, from her utterances. Regardless of what you think of "cancel culture", she's not even a very good example of it, she's not the paragon of cancel culture, that's not really what she does at all. I think it's very unfair to AOC.

And yet, everyone wants to use her as an example. (Including by 'presuming' extra things she hasn't actually done!) Why? If you recognize she's not actually a great example of what bothers you, why did you mention her name as the only specific name example you mentioned?

This is one of the things AOC said which impressed me which I think is literally the opposite of "cancel culture": https://www.vice.com/en/article/ne8wjg/watch-aoc-give-a-dire...
Aren't there always people out to kill the president of the USA? They make it sound as if it was unusual? Sometimes people even succeeded (Lincoln, Kennedy), so it is not a new development at all.

I remember when Obama came to Europe he was only speaking behind a wall of bullet proof glass.

I also remember lots of ritualized symbolic killings of Trump, most notable that "comedian" holding up a severed head in his liking.

Tbh I suspect this is theater to create an inflated sense of threat, that will be used to justify all sorts of unpleasant activities.
> Gamers made discord a thing because it was for playing games. Hipchat was about making code, and Slack was a way to manage people. Reddit was for sharing alternative/emerging culture.

Disagree. There were plenty of gaming chat tools. The first group I got into Discord with wasn't playing games, the first group I got into Hipchat with wasn't particularly code-oriented, the first group I got into Slack with wasn't the kind of group that had management, and the first subreddits I got involved with were nothing to do with that kind of culture. Those tools succeeded not because they were doing something new but because they made something that didn't suck. Sometimes that's all it takes.

I remember talking with friends 2-3 years before Slack et al about how all the existing chat tools sucked and maybe we should build a better one. We concluded that there must be some fundamental reason why Skype etc. were so bad, something that we were missing. But we were wrong, and Slack proved that.

(This isn't an argument that Facebook can be replaced the same way, because Facebook has a great UX. My point is just that you don't always have to do something different. Sometimes "x, but better" is enough).
The last few weeks feel different from the usual mixed bag of HN submissions. Lots of submissions seem close to / over the line of the HN guideline, "If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic". I know that rule gets bent sometimes when a topic is particularly notable, but the deluge of submissions about current events lately seems excessive. My RSS reader shows 6 of 8 front-page stories in a row that would likely have been buried as off-topic maybe 5+ years ago.

It's also not clear to me that HN has a compelling value-add on the "<so and so> deplatformed <so and so>" or "social media is amplifying <fringe faction>" developments vs the many other outlets covering these current events. While the current events submissions involve technology companies, they're not really stories about technology. We're discussing general-interest stories about media/service company policy that happen to involve revoking software access or broadcasting someone's message. The relevance to HN feels about the same as if e.g., a major TV outlet had been giving equal airtime to offensive parties and has now ceased doing that. HN isn't all-tech, but HN normally focuses on topics the average layman may not appreciate, and recent submissions feel much more general-interest than that spirit.

I've seen a lot of flagged/dead front-page submissions come across my RSS feed in the last week+, suggesting the HN community is pretty polarized on whether or not it wants to see some of this stuff, if something makes it to the front page and then gets killed.
> That case ended with the conclusion that the bakery could deny service because it would otherwise be “compelled speech”

No, it ended with the conclusion that the particular state panel that rules against the baker did so with impermissible religious animus against his beliefs, and therefore the ruling against him was unconstitutional. “Compelled speech" was what a broad political group wanted the Court to rule on, but it's not what it did rule on, instead issuing a much more limited decision that dodged the broad issue almost entirely.
SV_Depth disables early z culling for that draw. But doesn't disable early z culling for subsequent draws. It does disable some z buffer compression that some older / mobile GPUs implement, but that's less of an issue for modern GPUs.

As for disabling early Z culling when drawing the impostor, the section titled "Fragmented Depth" covers this problem, and the solution.

When faced with that question, a good move is to ask yourself why would someone else want to watch other people's private videos.
> So, I've always wondered what they would do? yell at you harshly ?

Downvoters (not necessarily you): This question is why I made sure to quote the paragraph, rather than just link it. "It does" is the lawmakers intent, regardless of feasibility in enforcing it. Avoiding the question entirely is why various sites have decided to block EU access.
As far as I know there isn't any documented. However your claim is "Literally no person in the entire world believed this was an appeal for people to behead Donald Trump." I think you are overstating the wide range of interpretations humans often have.

Like many assassins, the person who fired on a congressional sports practice did appear to be motivated by political animus that on the face of it would not include shooting up the players on a ball field. But that is what the person did. This is similar to the attempted assassination of the Arizona congressperson in response to the Alaskan politician's crosshair advertisements.

As a reasonable person it is difficult to understand that folks might not share your views because as a reasonable person one's views seem logical and well grounded. That is totally understandable.

It's not really a question of the "correct" data. To evaluate whether an observation is anomalous, you typically define a threshold for what's considered not-normal, e.g. an observation 2 or 3 standard deviations above the mean.

This may leave you with some false positives (like any system of this nature would). Of course, you could go the route of actually defining an anomaly yourself and building a more sophisticated model (i.e. one not using z-scores as the measure of anomaly), but that's obviously a different scope.
This is really not clear on their site, but WebTorrent is also a protocol, basically BitTorrent over WebRTC, since browsers can't talk the native BitTorrent.
Not quite, you're forgetting the T in HFT. If everyone was just buying securities a microsecond vs a millisecond might not matter much. What happens is a lot of HFTs act as market makers. They arbitrage positions they create which screws over any non-HFTs. It also moves the price of securities for no reason which affects everyone holding that security. There's also been plenty of cases of HFTs doing front-running and spoofing.

The effects of HFTs aren't limited to HFT vs traditional traders. Their artificial arbitrage affects people's retirement funds and the like. It wouldn't be so bad if they were just making money off other traders but instead they're making money off everyone with money in the markets.

This presumes that the stock market, and capitalism itself, are both a net good. Not everyone would agree with that.
Would this really happen be a relevant dynamic over long time periods? I would assume that at some point the market makers get nervous and stop selling calls?

On your points:

1/ Vega is sensitivity of option price to change in level of implied volatility. Appraised is an unusual word choice.

You'll have more gamma if the asset price is near the strike price of the option. But gamma can actually be lower near expiration for the same strike if its fairly out of the money - gamma will only be higher for at/near the money options.

6/ Market makers buy and sell volatility and outside of retail, prices are usually quoted in vol terms. That's not to say that professionals can't do some crazy things trying to hedge risk, including theta (time) and rho (interest rates) but the original trade is a vol trade first and foremost.

My slightly different explanation: Delta is the 1st deriv change in price of the option wrt the value of the underlying asset. Gamma is the 2nd deriv, ie the rate of change of delta. As expiration approaches, gamma gets very like a dirac delta function, centered at the strike price. Easy to understand - moments before expiration a call option value is either worthless or exactly (Underlying - Strike price) Thus a delta of either 0 or 1 (-1 if you are short) with gamma equal to delta.

As the original poster explained, traders hedge by buying or selling the delta amount of the underlying (if delta is 0.5, you do 50% of your notional contract size). As the underlying moves, the short trader needs to buy when the underlying rises (his negative delta is increasing) or sell when it falls (his delta is decreasing so less hedge needed) to maintain a 'neutral' position wrt to small changes in the price of the underlying.

Recall, gamma is the rate of change of the delta and so determines how much the hedge needs to change. On day of expiration at the money strikes have very high gamma and thus subject the short option trader to large whipsaw risk - the need to add or remove a hedge aproaching 100% while chasing the underlying. The art is really in deciding when to hedge on/hedge off and how much, regardless of the formulaic delta and gamma values at the current underlying price.

Arbitrage is good, sure. But what is the timescale that is useful? Is sub-second resolution of arbitrage actually useful?

What is the argument against Arbitrage having a lag of even, say, 90 seconds?

And like... who cares about the price delta on a time scale even less than an hour apart from day traders? FX stuff I guess?

True.

Quantum Mechanics is actually incredibly conservative, with theoreticians simply refusing to abandon notions shown to be incompatible with reality for over a century now.

Same with Spin. Okay, so particles aren't literally spinning spheres. We get it. Stop pretending they are and then Spin won't be so mysterious any more!
The problem with your example is I don't turn off the bomb maker's electricity. I call the police. They take violent threats seriously. If you think someone is making a violent threat, that is what you do. They want to shut down non-violent speech. The police won't deal with that.

As for the collusion, I might believe you if this were the first time. After all, it was such an enormous, public incident. But it is not the first time and it will not be the last time either.

> appease these people?

appeasement should not be the goal. You do not appease people, or they will just push for a mile given an inch.

There needs to be ground rules set, and punishment for crossing the line. I think the line has been crossed. Society, at least, in the majority, will agree that the line has been crossed, and that those who crossed it shall be punished.

Depends on the CDC and which week it is. And which masks, made of what, with holes how big?

Everybody agrees on what the weather sensors say today. Nobody agrees on how to model that in a useful way. (I worked on the previous climate emergency, the ozone hole. There was much more public transparency and direct observational proof of chlorofluorocarbon damage.)

I find it highly unlikely that they didn’t have conversations beforehand. It’s also really black and white - they were proud of their lack of moderation and said it publicly. It’s not like there was a misunderstanding. Plus an org like Parler has its own lawyers. There is no way they weren’t warned of their contractual obligations by their own counsel. They just chose to take that risk.
I feel like all the talk about Trump and Parler getting "cancelled" has to be interpreted in this context. This isn't over. People tried to overthrow the government last week. They're going to try again soon. There is a credible threat of imminent violence across the country.

After September 11th, we shut down air travel across the country for a week because we just didn't know if there were additional threats out there. Would anyone have complained if tech companies shut down a website known to host and inspire radical Islamic terrorism?

Today we face a far more dangerous threat. Imagine if the mob had succeeded in capturing most of Congress -- we could be fighting a civil war right now.

We don't know what else the "patriots" have planned, nor what the FBI, Facebook, or Twitter have seen in private messages and groups. Maybe let's prioritize everyone's physical safety for a few weeks.

Games like this tend to have bugs that I can't understand. I recently played through an identical mission a friend of mine was having problems completing. In his game, on a different PC, the game crashes every time he initiated the quest. In mine, it worked without a hitch.

There's so many differences between our savefiles and our system configurations that the bug could be a combinatorial explosion of things without access to source code.

This is super common in videogames. When some significant amount of people are experiencing bugs with a game and you're not, you should defer to the judgement of the ones who are having problems.
