Is selling not a type of trade?

If they had stopped all trading of the security because their clearing house wouldnt agree to the deal, thats one thing. When they limited only one type of trading which had an asymmetric affect on the different groups trading this security, then it looks like market manipulation, sounds like market manipulation, walks like market manipulation
Labor is not capital (means of production), it's not being "owned", since one cannot accumulate it. That analysis is deliberately obfuscating problems with capitalism, which stem from capital accumulation. (And if anything, it is slavery that turns labor into actual capital.)
From the article, it's not clear this ever went out as a wireless AMBER alert, just to people subscribed to an email alert system. The wireless alerts and highway signage are part of the secondary distribution system, so might not have actually been triggered.
> The policies back them into being a monopolistic heavy whether they mean to or not

That only happens because they deliberately put themselves in a position of market power. If they didn't have such crazy amounts of power nobody would care about their "policies" misfiring. None of this is accidental in the big picture, we're well past any window of plausible deniability with Google. They can't perpetually claim incompetence.
Currently writing a CP/M game in Z80... I forgot in 40y how hard assembler is to write and how nice a revolution something like TP is.

It seems odd to practice things you rarely do.

I went one stint where I didn't start a new project for 5 years. Practicing new projects in that time period would have been a whole lot of wasted time.
Besides her parentage, you forgot to mention that she's a German woman and mother in a position of power, to fully "justify" your ad hominem attack.
That wouldn't surprise me. If we couldn't tell them apart.

There must also be limits to perception or resolution. Are our eyes even able to tell the difference between FHD, 2K and 4K on a 15" screen?

I tested FHD vs 4K on a 31" screen and could not are a difference when watching a 10 minute video (I had 2 screens side by side for reference).

On a semi related note. I also tried watching 60fps videos at 60Hz vs 144Hz (again side by side) to test out my new screen. No difference. Even fast moving things.

I really feel like either I just don't perceive these things and it'll keep more money in my wallet, or that I'm not alone and everybody can save money. A chart of when differences actually become perceptible would be great. It wouldn't surprise me I'd the threshold for 4K were 42", 10bit only in grays and fps at a certain pixel per second movement speed.
Yeah, I totally get the enjoyment of not being "always available". I have had lengthy periods without a phone, and it teaches you that; no, you don't have to be always available, and no the world will not end etc.

The only "social media" I use is Reddit, but it isn't/I don't use it as they person centric networks like boomerbook/twitter.
Is it maybe because FluffyChat is developed by a German company, Famedly GmbH?
I think a lot of people overvalue what they think they need--basically YAGNI. There is a bit of once burnt, twice shy. I learned when first moving out to go to the dollar store to fill my apartment; bathroom trash can, shower curtain rings, kitchen cups/plates, toilet brush. Then upgrade what doesn't work (paper-thin shower curtains will billow with the steam and stick to you). It wasn't as wasteful as I had expected and I saved a lot of money compared to just buying everything from the average retail store.

Even Wal-Mart plays on this by stocking name brands here and there.
Sure, depending on your definition of “basic”:

npm i express
node -e ‘require(“express”)().get(“/“, (req, res) => res.end(“hello world!”)).listen(3000)’
Maybe the disillusionment does not have it‘s origins in your work situation but stems from other areas of your life? - I am in my late fourties, and I feel great satisfaction whenever I am sitting at my desk and writing code, hacking, automating stuff, solving problems using my computer. - I have a similar anecdote regarding Turbo Pascal. In highschool, I had visualized a breakdown of vector forces in an electromagnetic field, and my teacher was thrilled. In order to be able to do that I had written my own vector and matrix calculus libraries.)
The issue wasn't so much the emphasis on the Maginot Line; it was diplomatic failure of appeasement. tl;dr French security strategy relied heavily on a strong alliance with Belgium, and they threw that away in 1936-8

Since the First World War, when Belgium's territory had been used by Germany as a route into France, Belgium had been in an alliance with France. This meant that while they built up fortifications on the German border, they expected to use the Belgian fortifications (places like Fort Eben-Emael) on its border with Germany as a northern extension of Maginot.

When France and Britain failed to oppose the remilitarisation of the Rheinland in 1936, however, Belgium lost confidence that France would actually honor its security guarantees and declared neutrality again. They extended the Maginot fortifications along the Franco-Belgian border, but not didn't have the time or money to build it up to the standard of the rest of the line. Meanwhile, in 1940, instead of being manned by a fully-mobilized wartime army and probably elements of the French and British armies, the Belgian fortifications were held by skeleton crews of an only-moderately-alert neutral army.
I'm not sure how Linphone is doing it but all the apps I used that required to run in the background were required to show a notification at all time.

This is a terrible UX, my notification center is useless because I always have those apps in there (KDEConnect and Syncthing for example)
Assuming from the subtext that GP means they're wanting to give up because of (app)(?) censorship. Having a whole strata of society no longer participating in the conversation is not healthy. Politicians are now looking to these platforms to guide policy decisions, so anybody not on them has no voice.
In theory it's nice, in practice are there phones that you can root without leaving the bootloader in a vulnerable state? And it looks like the future is a situation where it's impossible to prevent software from detecting unlocks and refusing to run.
All the languages that are “strangely popular” have had major backing from a global/multinational company.

It’s not a meritocracy driven development, it’s marketing 101.

Go is to Google what Java is to Sun/Oracle. History is repeating but we can’t really fight it because it would be a wasted effort.
Getting information about vaccines from Hacker News is likely about as useful as getting information on Kubernetes from immunologists.
"Don't Be Evil" - Looks like the roots of Google are far behind them now.
Yes, and we determined TV to be archaic, rigid and top-down. We tried to build something better. Now we are trying to not become as shitty. That is literally the point.
We use pagerduty, and it's pretty handy that I can use DND because their mobile app will turn it off if it needs to. I think it also creates a phone contact so that incoming calls bypass DND.
> If your going to argue with a straight face the this new situation is the same as Parler

Just go reread what gp wrote. He basically said the exact opposite of this. You are putting words in his mouth and interpereting his comment in the least charitable way possible.
If you define web app as an HTTP socket server in C, yes.
You dont need to sign up to multiple sites and maintain multiple accounts. You don't even need to use Git or lambda functions. That's what I mean by jumping through hoops. With PHP I just upload the file and done. Nothing beats this simplicity. For simple stuff, it's my favorite.

Linphone does show a persistent notification while running and registered to a server.
> Am I missing something?

A few things. I'm not an expert, but:

> They don't even need to buy up 100%. They only need to buy up 20%. Then they're back in the situation of being under 100% shorted, and problem no longer applies.

They're still in a very tough position. Buying 20% will raise the cost of the stock further, since they're buying it at market price which would drive up the price. And raising the price makes maintaining the rest of their shorts more expensive. That's ultimately the goal - make and maintain a higher share price, which would force shorts to buy instead of continue to pay to maintain their position, which in and of itself would make the stock price grow.

This is also why /r/wsb is interested in other large but not greater than 100% short interest stocks. They might not get squeezed as much as GME but the pressure would still result in a similar situation with lesser gains.

This becomes much less possible as the short interest shrinks or the lower impact you have on the share price.
That's why I would love somebody like Element to look into it and potentially actually using it, helping solve the problems that prevents it form being commercial.

I just like the model of having multiple layers of encryption, helping hide metadata, having a name system and routing across different protocols.
"Routing chats to online agents only" sounds like an extremely important feature which is available only on the $999 plan.

Intercom needs to work on their pricing. :)
> Based on the facebook video, it's not as strongly tinting as either ultramarine or cobalt blue, and it's close enough to cobalt blue in hue that I don't see what the point is unless it's less expensive than what is traditionally one of the most expensive pigments on a palette.

According to the OP:

> Blue pigments, which date back 6,000 years, have been traditionally toxic and prone to fading. That’s no longer the case with YInMn, which reflects heat and absorbs UV radiation, making it cooler and more durable than pigments like cobalt blue.

> “The fact that this pigment was synthesized at such high temperatures signaled that this new compound was extremely stable, a property long sought in a blue pigment,” Subramanian said in a study about the compound.
> A barrage of updates I didn't ask for get forced on me (Despite whatever settings I put)

Let me just reboot for you when you're afk without asking.
I just one to write a positive comment to add some balance to the existing ones. I appreciate your effort to make an alternative web browser for power users! I hope this will be a successful long term project.
Logical Fallacies
I was thinking about a situation similar to that in web development. But if there’s no internet, a web application doesn’t make that much sense does it...
This all actually seems amazing for the user? I'm confused why people are complaining about it?
The consensus on HN seems that of a page has more than 20 lines of JS it's trash and bloated.

Normal people don't see the web the same way HN does. Normal people like pretty things, and people like creating pretty things. Designers wanted to creat a pretty webapge, and I found said webpage pretty. Not to mention that the website loads pretty quickly, so all those complaints about performance are incredibly hollow. If someone is working with 2g internet they have bigger issues than trying to visit Github's homepage.
We need to approve (or start trail programs of) vaccines from Russia, China, India.

And we need to put export controls on EU-produced vaccines just as the US has.

But we Europeans are too politically disorganised to do this and thus we loose out in particular to the US.

The EU at a political level has been an absolute disaster through the Corona crises, from the lack of support of Italy when the virus initially hit, to uncoordinated petty tit-for-tat border closures, to now this failure of vaccine purchases.
The whole innovation of RobinHood stood for is to abstract that away from you so you can instantly start trading and continue when you sell stocks. In the end we get to the same point why a lot of things when it comes to trading are made difficult or impossible after big fiasco and collapses - you can't trust the retail not saying I didn't know better when they lose it all.
To a degree, I agree. Though I think it depends largely on the person.

Personally I've worked with lots of remote teams from the get go and co-workers I've never met in person. It's actually been incredibly fine for me to build strong relationships with them, to the point where I eventually meet them after many years and can pick up conversations with them as well as any of their local colleagues.

Though again I think that varies by person. I'm what I'd call a very social introvert in that I take part in lots of company/industry community but don't have a need to socialize like an extrovert might. I think that's helped me because I don't feel isolated when remote, but I get on very strongly with a wide range of co workers.

Anyway, to the point, I think you're right in that it's harder to build those bonds, but it is doable.
Yes, which is why a hack at some of these websites is to set your address as being in California, at which point one-click cancellation buttons magically seem to appear.
I make something and sell it to you for $5.

Tomorrow, you sell it to a third person for $10.

Who lost money here?
To make you less fragile to disorder. The things you do regularly are trained into you by repetition. You practice under developped skills to stay flexible and able to adapt.

Very similar to physical fitness. Sitting all day trains you to sit. And that’s making you more fragile
How Does Rapid Keto Burn Diet Work?
Thus, fundamentally, this recipe triggers ketosis. Yet, what's the significance here for you? It implies that the Rapid Keto Burn Ingredients can help your body consume fat stores for fuel. Generally, your body changes over sugars you eat into fuel to get you as the day progressed. Be that as it may, when you need to get in shape, you need to be consuming with smoldering heat those unadulterated fat stores. In this way, that is the reason the keto diet got so well known. Individuals needed to drive their body to consume with smoldering heat fat stores.

I can’t make any basic apps without googling :/
Right now, the only solution to this situation seems to be sticking to SMS and newer non-IP protocols extending and/or replacing it as a service offered in the regulated TelCo market (in EU at least, but practically in most places). Then mid-term extend regulations to IP- and web-based markets as well, forcing checks/balances, appeals, and an open ecosystem of alternative providers in place where there is feudalism right now. Won't work with FAANG providing services "for free"; that is, by bundling and ad-financed offerings. So bundling has to be regulated as well.
the difference is Signal is NOT federated, and matrix is. Which make it more like email, harder to censor.
People will surely point out the obvious differences between the takedown of Parler and Element and I'd agree that it's not exactly the same thing, since Parler is its own platform and Element is just a client.

However, when looking on a bigger picture of the recent takedowns and trying to make sense of it, it does indeed seem to be connected. The only conclusion that seems rational to me is as follows:

Everyone tries to push their burden of moderation on people below them, because no one can actually keep up with it. And if the moderation is not enforced, they risk being taken down by someone above them. That would explain why everyone is so trigger happy when it comes to censorship. When the WallStreetBets people were taken down by Facebook and Discord, they didn't ban the individuals who were actually violating the policy, but the entire community.

It's also worth to note, that the takedowns can be enforced selectively, as we see here - Google obviously won't take down their own browser or email client, that also allows to access abusive content - assuming that's what Element was taken down for. It's probably selectively enforced on the social media too, but I'm out of the loop on what actually goes on there, so to be fair, I cannot prove it.

If this is actually what is happening, the only solution as far as I see it, is to extend the First Amendment to social media. Another solution could be to convince the people and the media to stop pressuring companies into deplatforming other people, but that's in my opinion definitely not going to happen. So it's either applying the protections of 1A to the internet or the censorship will get worse and worse.
Vector was the name, before they renamed to Riot.
Any source for those 2020 numbers? Afaik the Romanian Statistics Institute only published mortality figures up to (and including) November 2020, and the nominal numbers were indeed similar to Serbia’s, i.e. up until then we had had about 10% more deaths in the first 11 months of the year compared to the first 11 months of 2019 (with November 2020 a particular dire month).

It’s also true that I couldn’t find an easy comparison with the previous 5 years average.
Interesting! I did not know about that :)

Seems like it’s similar to an automatic gearbox (planetary system).

I’m not sure the benefit is worth the added complexity, but hey, who am I to judge, maybe it’s that much better.
Somewhat reminds me of the Linux setup that will rm -rf your whole hard drive upon the first incorrectly formatted shell command. Now combine that with the electroshock keyboard...

I'm think GP is missing an /s :)
A significant part of the vaccines the UK has administered were produced in EU factories. Now that the EU tries to do the same as countries like the UK and the US do - not exporting - they are bullies? Right.
Level 2: Can you do it without building / testing every now and then?
Level 3: Can you do it without syntax checking, IntelliSense, etc.?
Level 4: What about removing DEL and BACKSPACE?
That happened nearly a decade after jobs came back.
Not necessarily, I run a non-federated synapse (matrix protocol) server for intranet type use. It's in an environment where it has no connection to the wider internet at all.

The default matrix.org servers are federated.

In terms of what the default Element install presents to the user upon launch in its GUI, I think it does offer the 'official' matrix.org servers as a place to create an account and sign in, start browsing 'rooms'.
While I agree with using scales, it is just so much less messy.

And altitude may be an issue, never had to consider that.

I think there are other factors that affects the amount of flour you should use, such as the ratio of water already in the flour.

If you use fresh flour directly from the mill, you may not need as much water in the dough.

I also imagine the method of grinding the flour may make a difference.
Gentlemen, the hole is due to the fact that no company has the large scale productive capacity for the newly discovered COVID-19 vaccine.

Ordering earlier and paying more would just have shifted distribution around, and would not have made more doses available. Every vaccination done in the US or the UK means one less vaccine dose for Europe.

And that is not "ducking responsibility", it is basic logic - as one cannot fit 10 pegs in 9 holes, one cannot vaccinate 10 people with 9 doses.
After Germany had taken Austria, Sudetenland and Poland, isn't it.

With a username like that, you should be careful to comment on WW2.
Really? Yeah Pascal UNIX compilers were quite bad.

When I got into university, I had my first set of Pascal classes on UNIX.

Coming from a background of multiple Turbo Pascal versions, I was on TPW for Windows 3.x by then, I was dismayed having to do university assignments in P2C, using original ISO Pascal (it wasn't even capable of the ISO Extended version).

So no wonder that Pascal on UNIX hardly got any love.

I think only HP-UX and VMS Pascal variants were actually relatively good.
1) This is not a therapy. This is basic research that could potentially lead to a therapy, or it could merely lead to a marginal improvement. Most of science are like this, massive Deep Learning style leaps are relatively uncommon.

2) The research is about a group of chemical structures called Porphyrins, commonly found as part of a human proteins. They are apparently a good fit as delivery vehicles to send anti cancer drugs into cells. Apparently these particular chemical structures have inherent anti-cancer properties too. This is a very simplified explanation and I have not read the paper itself. This is a chemistry/biochemistry paper as much as it is a biology paper.

3) It is very difficult to explain to a layman whether a research is truly useful, or whether it will end up as a dependency (to use a software engineering term) of a bigger research. Imagine somebody made a marginal improvement to a neural network model. By itself it is not revolutionary, but the incremental gains add up over time. This is an incremental gain, a lot more work and research will be needed to turn it into a possible therapy. And even then it may hit some snag down the road that will render it useless. Science is tedious and expensive.
I hope you won't take my curiosity badly, what made this first project so much better ? it seems interesting but short in perimeter too. Was the rest of your career dulled by politics and large projects management to the point of making the work sluggish and boring ?
On top of that the Dutch government had a leak in their testing and vaccination database, leaking all the social security numbers, address data etc. Total clusterfuck.
It means your broker will charge you that carry cost on a pro rata basis, assuming borrow also remains constant. (It's generally not a fixed rate.)

So if you carry a 9mo short with 80% borrow rate on a stock that realizes 0 vol, you played yourself.

If you don't want to deal with borrow, you can buy a put and sell a call on the same strike (usually slightly higher than ATM) which comes with an implied borrow rate that is locked in.
I've gotten annoyed by some of the Windows bloatware recently, and I realized most of what I do should work fine on Linux. As others have said, I have hardware compatibility concerns, am not sure how a high dpi or external monitor will work, have battery life doubts, and am not looking forward to using Wine.
A basic app? I've been doing this for years and of course I can.

For the things I've mastered I hardly use google anymore, and even that is mostly to check if things have changed since the last time I used them and if there's a new way I didn't know about.
> That doesn't help if everyone you want to interact with refuses to talk to you if you don't have an iPhone because doing that has become fashionable.

People do this?? Wow, that is unbelievably snobby.
> The move, one of the most ambitious in the auto industry, is a piece of a broader plan by the company to become carbon neutral by 2040.

14 years is hardly ambitious, especially given the average age of cars on the road is (according to the article) about 11 years.

Falling battery costs will make electric cars cheaper than gasoline cars within a few years. GM will be screwed is they wait too long.
That's not just PHP, you can use anything that supports CGI, and lots of shared hosting have pre-installed Perl and Python as well as PHP.
Yeah this is how it is for me as well. I like to see if someone has come up with a more concise method here and there.
4mb? 4mb! We used to dream of 4mb when I were a lad. We had 1mb for the whole computer, and we got 160k for graphics, if we were lucky!
