> If the EU had done the same with the Pfizer/BionTech vaccine, then the only countries with any vaccination success would have been the US, the EU, and whoever made a deal with either China or Russia (assuming efficacy there).

Nope. The AZ vaccine has been massively deployed in the UK - I know because several members of my family had the AZ vaccine weeks ago and long before it was approved in the EU.

> So, personally, I am glad that the EU did not follow the UK with an exclusivity contract. It would have been a literal disaster for many countries, including the UK.

Completely wrong - there is no exclusivity over the AZ vaccine. AZ/Oxford have been working with manufacturers around the world to build capacity and it's being sold at cost (unlike the other vaccines). Given the lower cost and easier storage it's will be hugely deployed in the developing world.

The truth is that uniquely, the AZ vaccine's development and initial manufacturing was fully funded by the UK government and then being made at contractors to be sold at cost in 12 countries (including in the EU).

Many months later, with manufacturing in the EU having ramp-up problems, the EU commission panic about their lateness, spot doses being manufactured in the UK for the UK population and say "we'll have those" using a dubious interpretation of their contract.

Not surprising we've seen a U-turn today.

> The reason the trade might not clear is because of hedge funds or market makers that might go bankrupt, and not have the capital to pay for the shorts that they need to buy back. The collateral is there so that if the hedge fund can't pay, the clearing house or broker must pay.

If anything wasn't the market worried that RH would go bankrupt (when the GME inevitably crashes)?

Unlike retail, hedge funds and market makers have risk modelling, and they got out of trades they can't afford (plus all the shorts had collateral, if they can't afford it the broker closed it).

Was happy to find a Dell Latitude in there. The magnesium chassis plays a large roll in protecting those old motherboards from flex. Combined with a docking station, the latest model that would fit the bill for my use would be a m4800.
I have been having similar discussions with my friends. My key takeaway is that if you are in the top 5 or 10%, US is a great place for you. Every place is open and your hard work (and a bit of luck) will take you a long way up. However, if you are average, US sucks for you. There is just so much burden to just keep working, even more so, if you have family. Between lack of public transport, healthcare, exploitative workplace and strong victim blaming attitude, you carry on just hoping that your kids will become one of the top 10%. For every example of successful immigrant, I think about the thousands of farm workers and hard laborers who make a trip here, and struggle to make a good life. And yes, they make more money that they make in their homeland.. but that does not make their current situation better.

Why are marketers so obsessed with collecting data on their customers? It seems so absurd.

On the one hand, they come up with ridiculous surveilance tech like this to track everything their customers do in their stores, so they can better understand how to sell crap to their customers.

On the other hand these big stores hire the least experienced, cheapest staff that they can find. If they just hired actual sales people and made sure that enough employees were around the store to talk to customers, nobody would need surveillance tech to find out what customers want.

But I guess automation is everything, and the goal is to have a store that doesn't depend on their employees. Why bother hiring experienced sales people for every store when you can get away with a handful of marketers that automatically analyze customer data of hundreds of stores...

How about an app mall rather than an app store? Like F-Droid with multiple repositories (the "stores" in this metaphor), but also supporting authentication, paid apps, and store fronts to display recommendations and stuff.
What problem does moving from T+2 to T+0 solve exactly? Aren't the capital requirements the same, and hence the outcome would've been the same? I'm no expert on this topic so I could be wrong.
It's like saying you don't need a spell checker becuase you never make mistakes. Pure hubris.
You have to prepay in the USA as well based on previous year taxes. It’s called making safe harbor, and there are penalties if you don’t.
Simultaenous with pausing buys of GME they were allowing accounts and positions to be opened and margin trades to occur, so it cannot be that they simply needed to limit their capital requirement full stop. The capital requirement is a prerequisite for being in the business and this is not an unforeseen circumstance, it's why they have lines of credit (which in fact they did draw on, just not enough to support the business they purport to be in) on top of their working capital.
Don’t they have enforced non-competes there?

His blogging golden age was in reality a time where there were simply far fewer users in general, and they were far more likely to be the type to seek out this sort of content and the activist relationship with the online world that he describes.

Most people aren't really interested in that sort of discourse, or in changing the world, or in intellectual biodiversity and alternate views. The web wasn't killed by companies, it selected the companies that catered most to what most people actually want out of the web.

He confuses his loss of status as a sign of the web's destruction but it is more a case of failing to capture the interest of changing demographics.
I agree that it's not a secret, but it is kind of dirty... it's all legal of course, but those credits aren't going to last forever, and unless Tesla can dramatically reduce their costs, they're going to run into problems when the credits expire.

And, regardless of whether it's a secret or not, the populist BULL TSLA!!!! crowd is largely ignorant of it.
Proof of Stake not only replicates the same dynamics that Bitcoin was designed to eliminate (more wealth -> more power in system) but also can only be made secure against a maximum of ⅓ byzantine actors, compared to Proof of Work's superior ½.

As for using it for Layer 1 systems, Andrew Poelstra nailed it in his conclusion [0]:

"We showed that by depending only on resources within the system, proof of stake cannot be used to form a distributed consensus, since it depends on the very history it is trying to form to enforce loss of value."

Proof of Stake might be useful at Layer 2 (becoming equivalent to voting stock in a company), but not as a base-layer consensus mechanism.

No, exactly none of that data was used for training. The training was done before the demo that was asking for noise contributions. The contributions are CC0, but were never used (i.e. totally unknown dataset quality).
Yes. Just wait till SJW "woke" intersectionality cancer fully metastasizes in Germany/Europe.

No one is banning any topics. Nationalistic swipes are not a topic.

The issue is that you have a long pattern of nationalistic swipes in your posts to HN (to the point where I brace myself when I see your username, because I expect to run into yet another). It's not ok, it's against the guidelines, we ban accounts that do it, and we need you to stop. You've done this many times about topics other than healthcare, so this isn't just about healthcare (though, separately, repeating the same points over and over about a classic flamewar topic is also against both the site guidelines and the intended spirit of HN).

I don't mean to pick on you personally and I hope that's clear. The same rule holds for every user, regardless of which country anyone has a problem with.
Unquestionably. People are buying GME because they think it’s hurting hedge fund bros; that doesn’t mean that it is.

I would be deeply surprised if retail investors were not left holding a larger proverbial bag than Wall Street as a whole.

Still, I think it’s a risky game when you have so many people willing to be irrational involved.
You need to leave the tinkering, or at least ring-fence when you do it and make sure it doesn't eat into quality family time, or just proper down time.

When you say you are fighting fires outside of wrok hours, is that as part of an on-call schedule? If it isn't then you all collectively need to sort that out. You need a proper on-call schedule with strict rules about when things get escelated and to who.

You need to have time when you are genuinely not working, and not thinking about work. If there is always the potential for some crisis then you'll never switch off. Not being able to geniunely put work down for some of the time is a big part of burn-out. Combining it with a lack of any feeling of real accomplishment and you are on your way to a collapse.

If you are the only person who can deal with certain types of issues then you need to make it a project to train up more members of your team, that's good for you, it's good for them, and its good for the company. Make it officially part of your job, set targets and goals, get explicit buy-in from your boss/the company. Don't make it some amorphous, vague personal goal, make it concrete. Teaching people, helping them level-up, can be hugely rewarding work. I've had huge job satisfaction helping my more junior developer skill up over the last year. I get a lot of pleasure and reward out of seeing him knocking out great work, it's almost like vicareous job satisfaction and it means that even when I'm having a sluggish week good things are still happening that I'm part of.
Not if you want to use Oracle's JVM to run something on anything but a laptop or desktop. They will absolutely want you to pay for that and will make sure you do.
>Yeah, but at least you as a broker wouldn't have a hand in the price change. If they piss off their customers who wanted to sell, that's just how it is

No, the price change occurred when new money couldn't flow into GME, due to deposit requirements. Stopping sells when there isn't any technical reason to do so is also an intervention, and arguably a bigger one.

> That will give them an incentive to keep both options open instead of restricting traders to only buying or only selling when it suits them.

And doing the reverse suits the HODLers, who would love nothing more than to prevent others from breaking rank and tanking the stock price, but sucks for everyone else who wants to get off the wild ride. On Thursday MUST asset management sold off its stake in GME. If people weren't allowed to get out, and it tanked further, I could easily imagine accusations that robinhood was doing it to the benefit of wall st firms, to eliminate competition for sells.
Do you drink a lot of coffee? A couple of years ago I made a small experiment and cut out coffee completely for at couple of weeks and I noticed two positive things. One is toilet oriented and the other was that I found it significantly easier to fall asleep.

I've also sometimes tried something I read in a blog a long time ago. I think they said it was what the Marines did but I have no idea if it's true. I'll imagine I'm lying in a canoe on an almost still lake with a crystal clear sky. Focus really hard on imagining the clear blue sky and then start imagining the gentle rocking of the canoe by the lake. Keep focus on just those two things.

Zero science, pure anecdotal, so take it for what you will :)
For what it's worth, the author of the post has a lot to learn, too.

This is a good idea! It's slightly ironic though. Usually, if you have some kind of secret, you don't want to announce it. All things being equal, you would prefer not to have a "wallet.dat" sitting around in an easy-to-find location.

secret-token embraces the opposite theory. Let us carefully deliminate our secrets and make them quite easy to find, in the hope that the systems most likely to find our secrets will altruistically notify us rather than do anything nefarious.

After some quick mental accounting, 9 of my last 11 vehicles (cars/trucks/vans/motorcycles) were over 10 years old when I bought them. One of the remaining was 7 years old at purchase. My current vehicles are 7 and 26 years old. I also realize yours and my car preferences are not representative of the general public.

Eh, if you read the article, seems like he just wasn't as popular after his release from prison (understandably there are others who probably provide the content his audience seeks).

Facebook, Twitter, etc. are still viable ways to market a blog in this day and age. I see a lot of people doing it well.

It's also worth noting that when he was imprisoned there was more appetite for Iranian dissident posts in the West than there is now. Now after Persepolis, green movement, departure of Ahmedinejad, JCPOA, and Trump the appetite for that kind of content has died down a lot.
Very cool, I just ordered a couple radios to play with. Looks like the app is Android only although an iPhone app is under development. Any recommendations for a cheap android phone/tablet to use mostly for this application?
housing costs are just a privately run tax scheme.
That's literally exactly what currently happens. Every stock has a margin requirement, you post cash with the clearing house as a percentage of order flow. When a particular equity becomes highly volatile, the amount of margin you need to post goes up. In GME's case, to 100 percent. So when somebody on Robinhood uses instant deposit, Robinhood has no access to your funds for a couple days, but when you buy GME, they need to put up 100 percent collateral on your behalf when they submit your order request. They simply didn't have the liquidity to cover all of that.

This is the whole article:

> The US and Argentina have signed a competent authority agreement to exchange country-by-country reports describing aspects of the tax affairs of large multinational groups, the US IRS announced today.

> The aim of the exchange is to allow country tax authorities better insight into the activities of the multinational and it’s into its tax liabilities and payments. The reports help tax authorities determine if there is a risk that the multinational is avoiding tax through inappropriate transfer pricing or through other means.

> The text of the US-Argentina competent authority agreement is not yet available.
Agreed. This is not a No True Scotsman -- understanding true requirements is a fundamental attribute of engineering. If you aren't doing that, whatever you are doing it isn't engineering.
Not sure if you are claiming that BTC currently solves the "more wealth -> more power in system" problem but it clearly doesn't. The current state of affairs is more wealth -> more ASICS R&D and infrastructure budget -> more hash power -> more power in the system.

What's missing in this is any acknowledgement of their failure to educate their users on when they might fail. They make trading feel frictionless and instantaneous, except that they can't actually meet this expectation when it counts.

At this point, any rational user should simply assume that RH will fail them at the most critical times,
without warning. They have proved it again and again.

And maybe we should all ask ourselves whether the appearance of frictionless trading is even a good thing to begin with.

When you buy a put, you are only risking the cost of the put. Unlike a short call or short put.

Yes 1 put contract is technically the right to sell 100 shares at the strike price of the put.
The right is saying the same about election fraud. Neither have any basis in reality beyond circumstancial evidence. Neither should dominate the conversation so heavily and yet... here we are.

Both left and right have it's stupid moments, if you can't see that it's you with the bias, not me.
Is your underlying theory that with no intervention the stock would have no choice but to go to the moon?

Seems pretty bogus to me, there's still liquidity (so that's nothing like VW squeeze, where 75% of the market was cornered by porsche and 20% was held by a german state, leaving only 5% available for shorts to rebuy). Also current shorts were likely made at a much higher level.

And GME could do like AMC and AAL and issue more stock (why wouldn't they, it's like free money).
Perhaps those who suffer from isolation find solace in both cigarettes and the socializing that occurs with their use?
So something I've been thinking about: Living people enter the market when they make money, and they do that in a correlated way (times of high employment). And they exit the market in a correlated way to spend on retirement or college or whatever. Entering and exiting when everyone else do means you get a bad price.
You build an App Store if you own the platform, not just because you want to.
If everything is working probably not. Although the EV charge port may require a ground path be present.

If the neutral wire breaks the ground is for safety. Otherwise the hot needs a path and that will probably be the car itself, or most likely you.
Terrifying if true.
I certainly agree that a lot of those ideals are platonic, though not at all. It's important to note that I'm only limiting myself to those arguments for the purposes of the argument.

I also agree that steady, incremental progress has a lot of value, and that there is probably a bit more improvement that is feasible within the liberal framework, which is why I'm glad to work with liberals on those.

The issue I have with the liberal perspective on this is that most of the imperfection (or gross deficiency, depending on the specific aspect) ultimately originates in economics, both socially and economically. The result of this is that (reluctantly) I had to recognize that these deficiencies are not solvable within the liberal framework, as it presupposes the economic and social relations that cause the issues. That said, I don't think that this change of framework shouldn't be done incrementally, if such a thing is at all possible.

On the moral side, though arguing morals of the internet quickly gets hairy, the leftist argument (this one I consider incomplete), is that there is quite some absurdity in claiming that using coercion for the goal of changing social relations in a way that will clearly improve society, since liberal society itself is ultimately based on massive amounts of coercion, which is reproduced by the perpetuation of the current framework.

I'd also take issue with the idea that society has an inherent nature which social change butts against. Indeed, not only are the mechanisms for social change, coercive as they may be, themselves a part of society and not extrinsic to it, but there is very little in the way of inherent nature as far as society is concerned, as society itself has seen almost total change in a great many ways as the relationships between the self, the social, and the material changed.

That said, I certainly understand your position, and my goal wasn't really to attempt to debate which viewpoint is right - not only is it that I cannot fully do them justice, but the nuances of of each one of our contentions I think merit a full thread or more by themselves. I just think a lot of liberals do not really understand the illiberal left at all. I think the peak of this was the Peterson vs Zizek debate, where Peterson read the Communist Manifesto once, and then operated in idées reçues for the actual positions of the illiberal left, in the process completely missing the point and leading to a non-debate.
