The claims and the consequences are very different, but I definitely get the same sense I got reading Q stuff when I skim the current WSB page.

- The media, government, and elites are conspiring against us.

- Info that says short interest has decreased / shorts have covered is propaganda and should be ignored.

- Info that says short interest is still sky-high is to be believed without question.

- Parties who were on our side of the bet but are now advising caution (e.g. Burry or S3) must be malicious or compromised, can't possibly be genuine.

- Mix of facts with misunderstood interpretations thereof: 140% short interest is very high (fact), 140% short interest should not be legally possible (misunderstanding).

- The dark truth we are about to reveal (counterfeit stocks?) has been going on for a long time, but now the wool will be lifted from the eyes of the nonbelievers.

- Your continued belief in "the plan" is important. You must keep the faith!

- "The Event" will take place on X date, but when it doesn't, no problem: it was always going to be Y date that It Happens.

- We all KNOW our version of the story is right. What particular pieces of evidence are so rock-solid and convincing? Oh, well, there's SO MUCH, but it's not my job to spoon feed you the facts. If you don't know, you clearly haven't been paying attention and should do your own research.

- If somebody published something saying that we're wrong, it means that "They" are scared of us. We must be getting close.

I don't know whether WSB's narrative is right or wrong, which is why I am on neither side of this trade and merely watching with interest from the sidelines. They could very well be correct about all of this.

I also am not trying to allege that being a "GME to the moon" person makes you a "Q person". They are completely different sets of beliefs. All that I'm observing is that the marketing of the ideas is similar.

I'm wondering how they measure those. Like, one gram of dried mushroom is a whole heck of a lot smaller than the pile of mushrooms you'd need to get one gram of extractable psilocybin.
The new 911, I think, uses CarPlay. I actually hate the idea of only carrying CarPlay and not Android Auto or vice-versa. You should carry both. I don't get locking people into an ecosystem to use a car or making people have to replace the head-unit just to use their phone with their car properly, but then you lose all of the benefits of the head unit as it goes with the car (like A/C controls, etc?) It makes no sense.
Stadia is a good idea that did not reach its potential. But the same can be said about just about anything Google launches these days. I'm starting to get worried about waymo in particular. Perhaps it will not see any of the necessary investments either.
Yes, that would be the low-tech way to achieve this, but if you want to scale that up to Twitch subscriber level of users, you would certainly want engine support for such a feature. That CryEngine was a bad choice is a valid point, though I guess there weren't that many public engines to choose from at the time that were that desperate for money.
This. Wholly agree. Currently running a large labelling task with 12 labelers.

Using Amazon ground truth which works fine (although seems quite MVP outside the core functionality e.g wrt reporting or user creation).

What tool have you had success with?
It's only been a failure because of the lack of games. The tech (at least to me) feels fine. Which is honestly the worst part—it _could_ be a success but the business side is broken.
I'm not gonna lie, OP seemed pretty reasonable here. Why do you feel so angry about his comments? They seemed to come from a place of curiosity and understanding...

Docker, Inc.| www.docker.com | Sr. Software Engineer | Remote United States, Remote UK, Remote Germany, Remote Netherlands | Full-time

Docker Hub team develops and maintains the largest and most popular container registry service in the world today, Docker Hub. Millions of users - community developers, open source projects and Independent Software Vendors - push and pull Docker container images billions of times through Docker Hub. If you are an experienced backend Software Engineer and want to play a critical role in the evolution of Docker Hub and Docker’s next chapter, then this role is for you. As a Senior Software Engineer in the Docker Hub team, you will build features around the container registry that operate reliably at massive scale and deliver a differentiated experience for free and paid users of Docker Hub. You will develop microservices and serverless functions that offer new functionality to other services within Docker Hub’s service oriented architecture besides enhancing existing services.

Docker Desktop team is hiring Sr. Software Engineer (Systems) to join our Europe-based Docker Desktop development team. Docker Desktop is one of our most popular products, with several million developers using it to build their software daily. We use a wide variety of different operating systems and different languages within our team. Between us, we work on Mac, Windows and Linux; we program mainly in Go, C#, Swift and JavaScript; and we work across the software stack from the kernel and virtualisation layers right up to the UI. We don’t expect everyone to be comfortable in all of those areas, but neither do we want people who can only work in one: our ideal candidate is a generalist who enjoys the opportunity to move around between different operating systems, different languages, and different parts of the stack in quick succession. At the moment, we are particularly looking for candidates who can work on the lower, systems levels of the stack, in areas such as networking, file systems and virtualisation. Examples of problems we have been tackling recently are integration with WSL 2, integration with Apple’s new virtualization framework, faster file sharing between a VM and the host, and reducing CPU load in the virtualization layer. If these sound like the sort of problems you would love to tackle and where you would have something to contribute, then please contact us!

I also liked Shadow. I could play Windows games on Arch Linux without booting into Windows, their latency wasn't terrible, the wait wasn't too long (only about a month for me), it wasn't terribly expensive, and best of all, their business model actually required them to do their best to make the product a success. A novel concept to some large tech companies, it would seem.
> about Facebook's access to the Apple IDFA

Which is used to uniquely identify me across apps, a totally equivalent level of tracking as identifying me across websites. It is the same result, just on a different platform.

And all of this data gets combined and utilized with the "other data vacuuming issues" you're talking about. You can't treat those like isolated issues, the unique identifiers across websites/apps enable the data vacuuming.

You're arguing that these identifiers aren't primarily being used to build profiles, that they're mostly innocuous, and then you're saying that the fact that profiles are being built and data vacuuming is happening is a separate issue that's not relevant to the current conversation? No, the data vacuuming wouldn't be possible to nearly the same degree without persistent identifiers. That makes it relevant.

> is not comparable to a quasi-anonymous unique value traveling from my computer to another.

You're arguing about a matter of degree. The point I'm making is that violating my privacy doesn't become automatically OK just because the advertising industry promises me they won't look at the extra data they're getting. And I think the reasoning behind why it's not OK is the same in both scenarios -- because in both scenarios, it's not reasonable to trust the person gathering that data to keep it secure or to never misuse it.

People bring up "quasi-anonymous" as if it's some kind of perfect defense that puts these identifiers into a separate category of information, but it's not. If it was actually anonymous, you wouldn't need to put the "quasi" in front of it. But if it makes you feel better, I'll put a camera in your bathroom and then disassociate the video stream from your home address or name, and then I'll blur your face with an AI. Then the video stream will be quasi-anonymous too. I promise I won't ever try to link it to a real identity, you can trust me.

The point is, it is a violation of my privacy to track every website I visit and every app I use. The reason why a company is doing that doesn't matter.
Sat in a damp London flat, with condensation permanently dripping down the windows (despite the dehumidifier running virtually 24/7), I struggle to relate to a world where you would deliberately want to put moisture into the air.
No idea. I'd been using Win 7 before that where Media Player mostly managed fine (probably with codec packs). VLC had audio glitching issues on that box but doesn't on the new one, so I quickly lost patience with trying to debug MP. Diagostics and codec help links are utterly useless.
That infinite horizon of possibilities is both a positive and a negative. The negative is that you have highly imperfect information and you never know what the optimal thing is that you should be doing next. I've been a solo product developer for >15 years now I can tell you that feeling of uncertainty never goes away. Although I have solved it to some extent by factoeing in enjoyment. Whenever I have 2 possibilities and I don't have a feel for which one will give the best result, I do the one that is more fun!
Software that lasts over 10 years should be celebrated. Software that is still just as relevant after 20 years is extraordinary. If VideoLAN were a startup, it'd be a unicorn.

VLC (and ffmpeg) are nearly singlehandedly keeping the world's media accessible. Otherwise, video would probably be a walled garden (subscribe to Adobe Cloud, share to Youtube, etc.).
> One of my favorite signs you might have ADHD. Caffeine doesn't do anything for you and/or makes you sleepy.

Caffeine is an adenosine A2A antagonist, which has therapeutic potential in ADHD, except the half-like makes it an improbable candidate.

Ironically, I just started taking an adenosine a2a antagonist, known as Nourianz (istradefylline) (link: https://www.nourianz.com/), as a last-resort drug for my severe restless legs syndrome, which has been going phenomenally well. I also have ADHD combined type (inattention and hyperactivity), and fairly severely. I take Vyvanse for my ADHD.

Anyways, I have been taking the the istradefylline for a week now, and it has made a tremendous difference in many of my ADHD symptoms. Additionally, it greatly increased my sense of wellbeing within 1-2 hours of initially taking it, and it has been sustained for the entire week.

Thanks to istradefylline I can now focus seamlessly and without effort. I can just "lock in" to whatever I want to do. Before, it would require some static force ("friction") to be able to "lock in" my concentration to do the task. I can also now just focus, without hyperfocusing. It now comes naturally to me. I also no longer find myself pacing around the house aimlessly. I also do not randomly get up from my seat or fidget hardcore. I can also lock back into a flow state without effort if I am disrupted.

I hope you find this interesting! The adenosine a2a antagonist made a huge difference in both my restless legs syndrome and ADHD symptoms. I cannot imagine NOT being on this medication for my ADHD.
I've had some sort of computer for over 26 years but as far as I can remember VLC is one of those few graphical desktop applications that I've relied on for the longest consecutive time.

In so many situations where you want a video player, VLC is always there and it always works.

I wish I could donate to more projects but I try to focus on privacy organisations. If VLC started charging for a lifetime license tomorrow I would buy it.
When I was in college, you could show up to their 'Make an app day' and as long you successfully uploaded your own version of their slot machine app you'd be entered into a drawing for a bunch of really nice hardware. Microsoft was terrible at promoting these events, so everytime I went there where more prizes than people.
Don't age.
I think that our culture definitely demands more productivity out of people than is reasonable, but that's not really the issue I'm referring to. I'm referring to things like not being able to take my focus away from, for example, reading social media posts, in order to make an appointment or social event on time. Not being able to correctly conceptualize how long it will take me to get ready, leave my house and travel to where I need to be, no matter how many times I've done it. Doing this so often that it hurts friends, family, and work.

I think there is an argument that western medicine sometimes pathologizes people having normal responses to the insane demands of our society and economy. In my case, I have been struggling with my healthcare provider's bureaucracy to get a diagnosis because I really, really need help.
The NVidia model sounds like more hassle than it's worth. Might as well continue buying PCs. If you could afford them before you can probably still afford them. Latency will be lower and experience will be better (no waiting in a queue).

The benefit of Stadia is actually it's simplicity. It's about bringing in new gamers who may have come from console world, but don't have the Steam libraries, etc.

I wrote this in another post, but I think Stadia right now is for the game console user who only play 1 or 2 games. This makes for a lot of extra hardware and subscriptions just to play a game you like. Why not just rent the game as a service for as long as you want to play it? When hockey season starts every year I buy the new NHL for $60. Thats $5/mo. Why should i also buy PLaystation plus, and a hardware console just to play the game? it takes 10 minutes from turining on the tv, navigating the menus, getting into the game, finding someone to play online, etc. Chatting with people is really bad UX. Google can make all of this slicker. But the value prop needs to focus on the job at hand: playing a _specific_ game which happens to be your favorite game you play mostly. Thinking of it as some kind of a gaming platform is not the way.
Well, for one thing, you can easily write Gemini pages in a text editor, without worrying about HTML, WYSIWYG or other markup formats.

You can write your own server or client in a couple days, from scratch, without using libraries or worrying about corner cases.

You're not exposed to the larger web, accidentally or otherwise: no web crawlers, links from modern web sites (causing annoyed users who think your site is broken), or invasions by thousands upon thousands of 4chan trolls or whatever.

So, to go back to the metaphor: a bicycle is not a car, and for _most_ use cases it's objectively worse. It doesn't go nearly as fast, it exposes you to the elements, it can't carry very much. But it's easy to tune and maintain yourself with just a few simple tools. It does require effort on your part, but the exercise can be enjoyable. You don't need to worry about refueling, accidents aren't so dangerous, you can go on winding little trails and skip the freeways. Traffic isn't an issue. You end up paying more attention to your surroundings and noticing details more on a bike ride than you would in a car.

One option is very deliberately simple and low-tech, and despite that it ends up being (for some people) a more pleasant and beneficial experience.
You're mistaking naked short selling with shorting same share twice. One is illegal, but there is a lot of loopholes in the legislation that regulates it. The other is rare but technically doable, and perfectly legal.

> do these infotainment systems actually produce tangible, relevant and unquestionable benefits?

Yes for many people, but not you.

The driver and passenger can change music, podcast, directions without needing to look at the phone, nor asking the driver (phone owner) to unlock their phone.

A passenger can also plug in their phone without needing to figure out the bluetooth dance, and it just works, play their spotify, or podcast, or any number of things.

It's also right there on the dash, you don't need a car mount to mount your phone on the dash, or window to get the directions, change a playlist, or podcast. It works on the dashboard and if you have steering wheel controls, they usually work there too.
I think you could definately use it to acquire shares that were not truly for sale.

You have to be a pretty big organisation and post a lot of collateral to borrow and sell stock. It's also assumed you'll sell it on exchange, if you do so you don't know the buyer though I guess you could arrange it? So a really sneaky player willing to sacrifice a lot of collateral could probably do it.

I think the main safety catch here is that if you hold a significant percentage of a company and you want those voting rights, talk to your broker to make sure its not lent without your knowledge...

I wonder if this has ever happened?

Edit:

I spent some time googling and found this:

https://www.quora.com/What-happens-to-a-short-seller-who-can...

It's quora but it seems pretty good. It does seem that if it's lent and not returned you get cash or wait for some to become available. Sucks if you wanted to vote the shares...
I have heard it can be bad for oral health due to dehydration. Not sure how much of that ends up being a feeling versus physically needing water, and how dehydration affects oral health, or exactly how I would connect all of the dots there (or if I even should attempt it), but it seems reasonable.
> Wirecutter simply isn't that reliable

Agreed. Recently bought a handheld vacuum cleaner. Wirecutter had some recommendations and said the Dyson one was “the strongest” (also most expensive), I got the Dyson and hated it (very cumbersome, heavy, short battery duration, not that easy to clean). Ended up returning it and got a random one at a local store instead. The random one was $50 (instead of $250-400 for the Dyson), has same or better suction, way easier to use and the battery lasts about 50-100% longer per charge (7-10 min instead of 4-5 min for the Dyson).

Similar thing happened with another appliance. Wirecutter is not very reliable.
Yup, thanks for pointing that out. I did interpret it as "you are an unempathetic person" while that wasn't the case.
Thank you for your expertise! Retro systems are a hobby of mine as well, though clearly I don’t have as much experience with it as you.

Agreed on all counts except the yellow: AFAIK 0x37 is usually a pale whitish-orange [0]. Is it possible you were looking one of the PlayChoice palettes on that page? I know I’ve done that more times than I care to admit...

And you’re right about gen3 consoles being fairly similar. I am not very familiar with that generation besides the NES, so for some reason my mind was going to a bunch of gen2 consoles and home computers as comparison points.

Having navigation on the infotainment screen is a gamechanger. Even though you can buy nav units for cars, they typically slow, light on features, and have data that is years out of date (and a pain in the ass to update).

Being able to just use the same map app that my phone does is so much more convenient, and feels safer than glancing down at my phone in the cupholder.
What an embarrassment. They showed off so many groundbreaking features that are only possible playing via the cloud then turned it into just another game streaming service.
they do in fact financially benefit from any scam transaction that is not reversed, at the rate of 30%.

a profit/benefit is exactly that, regardless of size. just because it's not a major line item does not give us excuse to ignore it.

brand damage, hard to prove. are any of these people leaving the walled garden entirely? if not, there was no damage to the brand and apple profited 30%.
