It depends.

If a hedge fund went bankrupt, the cash will go to investors who may be risk averse.

If the hedge fund survives it will have significant losses and probably be cagey about deploying a lot of capital again too quickly because it just stared into the face of death.

In the case of individual investors selling off everything, they might be scared because everything is crashing.

There's no rule that says the money will come back to the market quickly. It depends on investor sentiment. Often things have a V-shaped recovery and things are more or less "fine". We had a few of those over the past few years.

But put it to you this way, if this statement of yours:

It has to go somewhere, and so it will come back into securities in probably a few weeks or max, months. The value represented isn’t exactly disappearing it’s still in the ‘system’.

...was correct, then we wouldn't have crashes. But we do. When fear takes over the money doesn't just come back into the market quickly. And then even if it could, it doesn't because second order effects take over. Small businesses close en masse, etc, which magnifies the downturn until it snowballs into a legitimate recession.

I'm not saying a crash will happen because of this. I'm saying it very realistically can happen.
> Of course, you should already know basic data structures

That's partly what the whiteboards are screening for. Any decent CS program should teach them.

> I had a FAANG interview question applying statistics to a unbounded input. It took me a while to understand what the question was really asking, followed by some shock because it was something I'd never even imagined before (since I haven't needed to do much statistics in my line of work) and I didn't have the faintest idea where to start. With some hand-holding I figured out some basics, but I'm pretty sure that interview was part of the reason that "the hire signal was not strong enough".

Yeah, if you are asking something weird (as an interviewer) you should be expected to explain it.

It sounds to me you had the right approach (figuring out what the problem is and getting help from the interviewer). Ultimately, it's completely possible you simply stumbled upon a bad interviewer who assumed his specialty question was well known.

Rust's borrow checker is not only for multi threading and memory safety. It allows someone designing an API for any kind of data structure to guarantee that the user is using it correctly, by making their code not compile when they are using it incorrectly (basically what any type system provides, but fancier). What you call borrow checker overhead, some would call fixing problems before they occur.

It's at like $25B last I looked. The market cap of the S&P is $36T. The NYSE manages about $25T. So this is like 0.1%.
>But the hedge funds in question closed out their short positions days ago.

No they haven't, because they are literally running ads on CNBC telling people that right now. Why would they spend money doing that if they no longer have skin in the game?
well we definitely shouldn't be vaccinating people who've had and recovered from the virus before we vaccinate other who haven't, and we most likely shouldn't be giving out second shots before more people get a first shot. Of course individual risk and exposure plays a role, but the incremental protection conferred by the second shot in the arm of a person who's already recovered from covid is pretty low, even if they are a healthcare worker.

The funds. There's an ocean of difference between "we finished the year down 98% but we met all of our obligations" and "we finished the year down 100%, and we also failed to meet our obligations". Those obligations include the repurchase and repayment of short-sold stocks sold by the brokerage.

WSB wants a short squeeze. They got that. But, their theory is that it isn't over, and if they get the 10x+ returns in the coming weeks (I don't think they will, but lets say they do), then these funds are potentially looking at commitments that approach their AUM, and a nasty margin call. That's a real recipe for shutting down, and if that happens, there is no more short to squeeze. Everyone loses.
So when people who want to buy and have the funds to buy are prevented from buying by their broker, would the resulting price be one that "does not reflect legitimate forces of supply and demand"?

Surprised that Retroshare isn't here. I feel like it's been tackling the distributed network problem for quite some time, and I see a lot of references to it among the SSB crowd I'm connected with. I've been playing around with it to connect my family, and while it's rough around the edges, it has a lot of functionality (forums, chat, channels, links) that has overlap with the networks mentioned in this paper.
> Is it really anonymous?

It at least aims to be so :)

As with any anonymous p2p network you need to know:

Your level of privacy depends on your threat level. If the government is after you, they may very well know exploits. If you just want privacy from corporations for perfectly legal reasons then you might be fine.

> How does it compare to Tor and i2p?

See "How is Freenet different to Tor?" here:

https://freenetproject.org/pages/help.html

TL;DR: Freenet is a self-contained *storage* network. Tor is a *communication* network, I2P as well. The latter is also self-contained. However as they're both communication networks they do not provide censorship-resistance. The endpoints you're connecting to are central servers and can be taken down.

> The moral of the story is that when you beat Wall Street at their own game, they will change the rules on you so they win anyway.

They didn’t change the rules. The rules are clear that they’re allowed to change the rules anytime they want. That’s one of the rules.
As a long term shareholder of one of the restricted trade companies, my opinion is that all shareholders of these companies, including the companies themselves, were financially harmed by restricting trade by a subset of investors. As soon as trading was restricted, the prices dropped, denying me the right to sell my shares at a fair market value.

Robinhood customers are a small percentage of the shareholders truly harmed by these actions.

Dallas, Houston, and Austin were all viable opportunities but the cost just didn't have the value. Harlingen / Brownsville / McAllen, if you google it, often come up dead first for cheapest cities.

That said, it's way out there. TX is super big. This is 2.5+ hours away from Corpus Christi, 5 hours away from Houston. It makes flying a pain. So it doesn't fit a lifestyle where you need to bounce around a lot. So I highly doubt the prices will fluctuate much, but a lot of TX is like that.

Most of those issues can be answered with "maybe you're not paying enough".
This isn't exactly a sum type. Sum type is basically a Union, a proper algebraic data type, and PHP doesn't have algebraic data types (although, even before type hints it was a relatively common practice to "implement" them via PhpDoc... horrible, I know).

Enum is basically a bunch of constants, for all practical purposes. There were enums in Java for a long time, long before languages with more-or-less proper type systems became mainstream, and everybody was fine with a rigid mess of type system Java has.

So, to have what effectively is enum in PHP, I do just

class Status
{
const STATUS_A = 'STATUS_A';
const STATUS_B = 'STATUS_B';
// and so on
{

So it looks like a new enum would be basically just a syntactic sugar for that. (And finally a way to make a type hint for $a = Status::STATUS_A.)
The links you provided seem to be for AstraZenica's vaccine, though, not for Moderna's or Pfizer's (which is what 'm12k was originally talking about). That seems to suggest that Oxford/AZN were only testing symptomatic trial participants, no? And says nothing about what Moderna or Pfizer were doing?
I have seen it in many cases, especially working on financial data. My most recent example was working with real time feeds of trades, which we used ML models on top of. Inference was based on accumulated volume per fixed amount of time (say 30 sec, 1 min), and the code doing this in real time was python.

I don't remember the numbers, but caching + using ciso8601 was essential to manage the peak load (maybe 50k trades per sec ?).
I listened to Avi on the latest Mindscape podcast. I'm 99% on his side but I would have loved to hear responses to the idea, how do you distinguish this from hunting for ghosts, souls, E.S.P., telepathy, etc... Someone who believed in those things would pretty much make all the same arguments (eg, have an open mind).

I'm sure there are good arguments to distinguish why searching harder in the directions Avi wants things to go is different from searching for ghosts. It would be nice have heard them.
Yeah, I don't think it's too much of a mystery. It's almost certain that Wall Street "suggested" that someone at the exchange make this happen.

Whether it was a direct $$$ bribe or a call-in to the good old boys, we will probably never have proof.

The date Facebook is notified by Apple app tracking transparency
It's true that Apple's gatekeeping gives it a lot of leverage. In this case they're using their power in a way that benefits their users and that's great. Still, it shouldn't be necessary for a corporation to own its users and decide what's best for them on their behalf just so other corporations will stop abusing people's privacy.

In an ideal world, governments would step in and tell them straight up to stop invading people's privacy or face punishment. Obviously that's not going to happen: any proposed law would immediately be defanged by the industry's lobbyists on the basis it would hurt their "legitimate" business interests. Not to mention the fact governments would love to keep these global surveillance tools around.
Clearly the moral path is to let the market fail and implode. 


When the market is in danger, it’s foolish not to act to stabilize it. If robinhood collapsed into receivership, the outcome would be far worse for their customers.
> All of them deserve blame BUT the hedge funds and mortgage brokers got bailouts and the home buyers didnt. That smells like BS to me and anger at the people that allowed that to happen, hedge funds and bankers included, looks justified to me

What bail outs are you referring to? Are you talking about the TARP program? Because didn't most of that go to banks (not hedge funds) and wasn't that actually a net benefit to tax payers? I'm not asking rhetorically, I'm honestly just not that well informed on the details of the TARP program being from the UK and having not been old enough to have direct experience of the GFC.

I do agree that more should have been done to help those struggling with mortgage debt, but again it's weird to blame hedge funds for this. To blame the hedge funds you would first have to assume they planned to take down the global economy, and then secondly assume that they have some level of responsibly over the government's decision to purchase toxic assets from the banks. It was the government who took the tax payer's money and gave it to the banks.

It's also not like all hedge funds were involved in the GFC either. I guess I don't really understand what Melvin Capital did that was so bad that people now want to bankrupt the company. Being angry at certain individuals and companies for taking on the excessive risk that caused the GFC is understandable, but being angry at all hedge funds or all of "Wall Street" is silly. A lot (and I'd assume most) of these companies are perfectly responsible and acting within the law.

And to be honest it's worse than just targeting random Hedge Funds, a lot of the posts I've seen on Reddit seem to be complaining about capitalism and the financial system in the general. I think this is partly why I'm feeling the need to question what and who we're angry at here. I want to make sure we're justified when we're bankrupting these companies and making their employees redundant. A mob as big as this without a clear target should worry everyone.

They are SIPC insured and every single regulation and capital requirement is designed so the broker fails first before any customer assets are at risk. Maybe some stuff in flight might have issues.

tldr - the short sellers were given five days to find the necessary shares (compared to the standard 24 hours). That's a lot of time in 1923, and enough shares came in to get them out of the corner.

> was completely correct public health statement in the context it was given that was widely interpreted as an individual health statement.

There was no misunderstanding, the message was "don't wear a mask unless you're sick, masks don't help the wearer they only help keep a sick person from spreading it to others around them". That was just a lie at the time, we didn't know that for sure and we had every reason to suspect the opposite.

Public health experts, in the US and other western countries, deserve no credibility due to their handling of the obesity crisis. There are clear and obvious steps that governments could take to end obesity, but public health experts have failed to even make an effort to make them happen. Instead they have sat by and watched millions upon millions of people become obese, which is vastly more harmful to the average person's health than the coronavirus.

I do not even think an argument can be made that their failure is due to incompetence.
The Korteweg-de Vries equation – how do the waves pass through each other?
Hang out in the Aviation StackExchange long enough and you'll see exactly that question come up. "Why do we even still have pilots?", or "What does a pilot actually do?".

Yes, in general, people are ignorant of what pilots do and what AutoPilot can and cannot do.

This is made even more confusing by recent progress in autopilot with some large jets getting auto-landing features.

And yes... a pilot can program the FMS with waypoints, altitudes, etc, get into the air, push a button... and the plane will indeed fly itself. Modern jets even have automatic throttle/power control too.

A better name for Tesla's system is what it actually is... Driver Asist. But that's not sexy... and we're far off into the weeds.

"Instant" means instant. There is no way to paint it differently.

It's disingenuous to call an ACH transfer "instant" instead of "It'll take several days during which time we'll lend you money", like RH did here.

Overlap between which world views? Are you saying between the short sellers’ world views and WSB’s? I have a feeling that a lot of the people on WSB actually work on Wall Street and are just on their phones at work. There seem to be some experienced professional traders there(among many who aren’t), but I don’t see much similarity between them and the shorters in particular.
From an ergonomics point of view, it would be nice to have pointers directly into a descriptor heap, but this is coming already with SM 6.6 any day now.

You turned the analogy around on its head, and it makes no sense. You're the one advocating for the new manual, put out very recently, calling for change of long-established norms.
Yeah, no. People could have worn masks they already had, ordered masks online if any were available, the market for home-made masks would have emerged like it ended up doing later. And even if people did go out to buy masks, people were already going out on essential trips like the grocery store, pharmacy, and continuing to go to work for many people. Making one trip to buy a mask and then wearing that mask on all other essential trips for the next few weeks would have been a big net win even if you did have to go into a store to buy that mask.

I would say that the risk is definitely increased, and companies that have valuations more based on growth might be on less stable standing. Maybe it makes sense to liquidate a certain portion of your stocks.

The thing is....
If others think this way too...
Then they will start pulling away from growth stocks too...
Which then will put downward pressure on the market, and push other prices down....

So, well the answer is nobody knows. If you want to play this like poker, sure, liquidate a portion that matches your risk preference and analysis of risk potential.
