I have always been impressed at the speed of financial transactions in Europe. Since SMS became a thing, I have watched in amazement, how people have been buying cars, houses, other goods, transferring money, with their cell phones. It all happens 'instantly.' Meanwhile, when we send money from bank to bank, or to Europe, or UK, it takes 3 days, or more!
Surely, it is set up by the system to collect interest during that time period? Multiply by thousands, millions transactions, that is a lot of interest collected.

Why is it okay for a broker to facilitate market manipulation as long as it doesn't harm their customers? If they're benefiting someone (in this case, the short sellers), then they must also be harming someone (in this case, the short lenders).

Most implementations of Common Lisp prevent shadowing builtin symbols. You get compile/runtime error like "lock on COMMON-LISP package violated". So, unless author went to extra lengths to work around it, you can rely on the standard stuff like * when you read the code.

Even for user-defined functions, it's not an usual practice to extend operation of any function (although again, it's kind of possible). There are CLOS generic functions for that.
3% to 100% collatoral isn't covered by topping of the accounts though. RH was doing hundreds of millions (?) in $GME per day, so that increased that number from something like $3MM to $100MM.

It mentions it in passing, at the end, with a spin on the facts. The article glosses over the connections that the brokerage clearing houses have with hedge funds that likely have potentially painful short exposure. It also glosses over the consequences of making shares in certain companies sell order only. It's not a very good or balanced article.

Yeah, I don't sympathize with them either, but I think the conspiracy theories are probably false.
About 10 years ago I tried to built my own rack in the basement so noise was not the issue but power consumption was the issue. After connecting a few Cisco switches on my UPS I realized that each one was consuming at least 60-80W being idle which would sum up to a considerable amount of money running 24/7 together with the rest of my planned to be equipment. As I was only going to run this setup for the fun of it, after a couple of months I decided to give the majority of the network hardware away and use gns3 for the limited work I wanted to do
A Soros-owned space laser is a conspiracy theory. Citadel forcing Robinhood to disable buys due to their massive short position is not.

One option is getting through it professionally.
The reason the deposits are necessary is that there is no inherent trust between the firms on settlement day. The deposits are the Brokers saying, "Hey, trust me, I've got everything I need to complete the settlement, here's my collateral".

As such, if a Broker doesn't have the funds to complete the transaction, you can pull it from their deposits.

Your money doesn't really play a part in this, and indeed the illusion of "give $X for Y stock" is just an illusion.
A more succinct explanation:

Hedge fund has huge unrealized loss that may bankrupt them if they try to buy the shares that they shorted back.

Their broker realizes too late, and if they margin call them now, the hedge fund might not have enough money to pay for the shorts. Thus, the broker will need to pay.

DTCC realizes this, and ups the collateral requirement so that the broker / clearing house has to insure someone will pay (whether it's the broker or hedge fund).

Because DTCC works with all the clearing houses and brokers, the risk from the hedge funds is suddenly everyone's problem to deal with together. By trying to deal with it, they close down trading for retail, and coincidentally aid the hedge funds short position.

Maybe the answer to this is DTCC needing to have collateral requirements per clearing house or broker where they think the risk is highest (the bankrupting hedge funds). Maybe it's regulation to not allow such high leverage or force margin calls faster so the losses can't be too big to fail. Hopefully something is done to fix it!

It's not the stockholders fault that all these clearing intermediaries use shitty fragile risk models that haven't accounted for rare events and instead of facing the music they've artificially turned the marketplace for these stocks into sell-only in order to stop a further price rise and exposing themselves further.

The availability of liquidity in the market at any price & at any time is an illusion. It’s an illusion that holds most of the time, but nevertheless it isn’t real.

When the market is under stress, the illusion falters & the plumbing starts poking through the gaps. If you want to be able to buy and sell shares with very fast confirmation at the prices quoted in the market then you need intermediaries who can extend the credit that enables that transaction to happen. When the market is under stress, that credit becomes more expensive & liquidity falls away. This isn’t a conspiracy or the result of collusion, it’s a consequence of the structure of the market.
I had not seen that. Is it fair to say it is something similar to a Rules Engine like Drools?
>>Imagine rebuilding the core infrastructure at Microsoft - that takes years and years. But now you also have the entirety of the global economy dependent on your software.

That is a bad analogy, MS takes years to change the core because it require INSANE levels of backwards compatibility. Apps written for windows 2000 still work and need to work today...

This would not need to be the case with this type of system, there are a whole host of political reasons why the system is built the way it is, part of it is the desire to control it (and in this case the wrong people where doing things they were not suppose to)

I am sure you will call that "conspiracy", but the reality is that the investment system is setup to be slow and opaque not because of the need for backwards compatibility, or security it is that way so the "correct people" control it plain and simple

Procurement teams are not the ones doing the work, they are centralized bureaucratic functions to which requests go in and products come out. They have a habit of buying stuff that actual practitioners would never buy: inappropriate to the use case, known poor quality, off-brand knockoff of something practitioners actually like, etc. Any latitude in the requirements will be used in the dumbest possible way. There’s a whole cottage industry of products for government that meet naively written specs but are actually crap.

Yeah downstream users wouldn't know that the license text came from someone who can actually license it.

The combination of the copyright and permission notice says

"This is mine AND you can do these things with it if you want."

Claiming ownership by itself does not result in it being open source.

Saying you're giving permissions, but without claiming the right to be able to do so, also does not result in it being open source.
And the takedown was reversed. It is clear that Google now believes that the app is not in violation.

I wouldn't be too worried about it unless you're working on something at the level you know why to be worried about it (i.e. you're mixing audio as part of the what you're doing not because you just need the audio output to work). For instance I'd take missing comfort noise 10 times before everyone hearing my water heater kick up once on a conference call or while playing a team shooter.

That being said RNNoise isn't that great at actually filtering background noise as much as guessing when to drop the levels and as you mention it really doesn't block much when it detects you're speaking rather just lets most everything through until you stop.

RTX voice made the gold standard in filtering IMO though and as amazing a feat RNNoise is (I certainly couldn't do better) it's just not that good in comparison. I'm not sure what they did to make their model so good but I can use a boom mic set to omni, run a fan at high speed into the mic, bang on the desk repeatedly with one hand, have the water heater making noise, my phone vibrating on the table, a car alarm going in the background, the cat scratching a post, and so on and as long as I remember to talk at a normal volume it's damn near indistinguishable from talking in a quiet room. It may sound preposterous or like I'm exaggerating for effect but I'll be damned it actually filters that well. I didn't believe it until I tried. It finally gets "bad" when the noise is so bad and loud on the microphone your voice starts to sound a bit distorted but it's still isolated. Does let cat meows through, though that is technically voice and I'm not sure how you could identify it was a meow without massive latency to hear the whole thing first.

That being said they seem to have completely fucked something up porting it to Nvidia Broadcast as the mic filtering in that leaks to the point it was like it wasn't even on.
Maybe there are reasons other than technical ones.
> and other such "non-backwards compatible changes" that seem to occur in the Linux world more often.

The term DLL hell was termed in the Windows world for a reason.

If you stay with what the package manager offers for a well-maintained distro I don't think the user ever sees incompatibility issues in Linux. The distro maintainers (or if you build something custom) sees those issues, but often enough a build time, not at runtime.

The illiberal left.

Liberals believe in universality under the law, free speech, individualism, color-blindness, markets, equality of opportunity, rule of law.

The illiberal left, whatever you want to call them, are precisely the opposite. They believe in contextual application of the law, faction and outcomes-based speech tolerance, racial/gender/religious collectivism, and therefore racial consciousness, find markets to be inherently exploitative, determine equality/equity in accordance with population outcomes, and tailor systems around producing equitable collective outcomes, and believe in designing systems that are less principled in their means so much as they are pragmatic in pursuit of their ends.

As a liberal myself, I find this faction of the left (AOC/Robin Diangelo/Ibram X. Kendi/Ilhan Omar etc) to be the furthest political faction from my own.
Is that minification?
In fairness, stock exchanges care even more about backward compatibility and so it would be at least as much an issue for them.

Edit: Sorry, I say it way too much, but this merits a repeat of the one-liner: "The reason God was able to finish the earth in only six days is that He didn't have to worry about backward compatibility [or legacy system integration, or satisfying an installed userbase]."
Portland had amazing potential with its art and food culture. It’s really sad to see it fall apart for very predictable reasons. I imagine that all the violence in the name of politics and the homelessness/drug abuse issue will crater tourism. Once the Pearl District loses its draw, other parts of the city will feel the domino effects as well.

But how can anyone help? There’s no avenue for intervention in a city where constituents (and the homeless voting bloc) keep voting for increasingly fringe party and politics. The hostility and outright violence towards anyone who is even center-left means people are more likely to leave than spend years fighting a battle to save the city.

And once the city falls apart economically, the political grifters will simply move to the next big successful city and damage it in the same way.

This article says, "Our World in Data shows Sweden’s government response stringency never reached 50, peaking at about 46 from late April to early June." and "Norway’s lockdown stringency has been less than 40 since early June, and fell all the way to 28.7 in September and October. Finland’s lockdown stringency followed a similar pattern, floating around the mid to low 30s for most of the second half of the year, before creeping back up to 41 around Halloween."

But that doesn't seem to match what Our World in Data is actually showing right now: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/covid-stringency-index?ta...

Sweden's stringency peaked around 65 and has never dropped below 55. Since early June, Norway has mostly been above 40.

So I'm curious what happened - did Our World in Data change their methodology? Did they add new data?

They also mention that 1) they are aggregating all policies, so this isn't a measure of "lockdown," 2) they are measuring the stringency of policies, not their effect (e.g., "Hard curfew at 10pm unless you're going to/from work" is pretty stringent, but probably less effective than "No indoor dining"), and 3) that they measure the maximum stringency of any subnational unit. I'd be very curious to see how exactly they compute their numbers. For instance, if there's a weak national policy on things like travel and quarantine that causes municipalities to do whatever smaller things are in their power like restricting visits to nursing homes, does that add up to a "more stringent" response in their measurement?

Or put more simply - apart from numbers on this chart, what is it that backs up the claim that Sweden had a more aggressive response than Norway and Finland did?

(Furthermore, FEE is a hard-capitalist advocacy organization and is interested in pushing a narrative around reduced government policies around everything, so their interpretations should be taken with a grain of salt, which is why I'm trying to find the original data. The conclusion of their article offers no policy position other than admitting we are powerless to control the course of virulent disease, which seems ... rather contradicted by history.)
> Trillions of dollars are moved in these markets - you can't just hop in and do a quick rebuild with crypto, launch it, and call it good.

OP talked about how 'this is absolutely possible', but you're responding to him by saying "but we can't just drop everything and move to the new system".

You're right but that doesn't make OP's point any less correct. Generally in a legacy system we migrate by building all new features onto the new system. For instance, if the company wants to move their legacy jQuery based banking app to Vue.js, they can start by building a more orthogonal component in the new technology, so it doesn't affect the other thing. Eventually once enough things have migrated (possibly years later), the benefits of the new system justify the cost of migration even more.

Stock of an existing company like GE is different than a company which is yet to launch (say Coinbase). The best way (perhaps the only way) to migrate is to start launching new IPOs on this new system. We did migrate from being on paper to computers, I'm sure we can do it again (and hopefully with better technologies in the future...again).
I am... aware. For a general search on this topic I tend to get results about oneplus, for example, that say that relocking breaks it.

And samsung just won't unlock US models.

And xiaomi factory resets the phone when relocking.

Searching for relock root android gives very unhelpful results in general.

I did learn there's one specific model of motorola where the "lock" just doesn't work, and that's amusing but not very useful.

So I meant your phone specifically. Not just rooting, but rooting with a currently-locked bootloader. Please tell me a little bit about an example where this actually works. And hopefully passes safetynet, and will keep passing safetynet with hardware attestation.
I don’t think people who are fleeing CA are in the 13% tax bracket. Federal + state tax is around 40% for most engineers I know.

Which is why I didn't say anything like that. Just, that settlement time should have improved with our protocols for validating ownership, not been frozen in time.
Since you are replying with more generalizations that are widely propagated, I will also generalize and say that these are systemic issues introduced by a thousand year Muslim rule and then British colonization followed by Congress rule. It seems to be a concerted effort of various Western media led by the British ones to push the above propaganda to justify their colonization of India. What surprises me the most is when somebody talks about say the US, they don't usually talk about things like oppression of African Americans but when it's about India you are guaranteed to hear about caste or pollution or any of the assorted Indian stereotypes. As if no other country has any problem. Why not have some nuance when it comes to Indian issues? Combine that with a large Muslim population that wants to go back to the glorious Mughal days. That brings a whole lot of other problems. Two to three generations have already been brainwashed by history textbooks that concerned more with political correctness than truth. Not just political correctness, Indian history books blatantly lie to their readers. Most of the narratives about Indians are from non-Indians. Look at the Indologists of most western universities. Majority of them are non-Indians. India's story is told by people who have not lived in India, don't know our languages, have no skin in the game here. I am tired of hearing the false narratives of Hindu (especially brahminical) extremism. This is dangerous especially because brahmins are a microminority who have already been genocided in states like Kashmir. But nobody wants to mention this because it doesn't fit the agenda of the newsmakers. And what kind of oppression are you talking about in current scenario? The Sikhs are not oppressed. The 1984 Sikh genocide was committed solely by Indira's congress and was not a Hindu vs Sikh issue. The current government will definitely not keep quiet if they demand for Khalistan if that is what you are talking about. If India goes on giving up regions for minorities, there will be no country left anymore. Most issues in India are because of weak leaders and their twisted definition of secularism to favor minorities. Indian leaders never created an environment to unite the people. They just continued the British divide and rule policy. I blame the foreign (especially Abrahamic religions) powers for completely destroying India's culture. The destruction has been so complete that nobody knows what the original culture was anymore. Of course, conditions have improved since the state got rid some of it's socialist tendencies. But, the rest of the world refuses to get rid of India's previous image. The current Indian generation is aspirational, ambitious and has finally opened it's eyes to how previous governments manipulated the people. It doesn't care what the rest of the world thinks of us anymore. If you still want to stick to what you understood by staying in a limited space for a limited time by interacting with a limited number of people, it is your problem and not Indians'. But, unlike the yesteryears we now have access to platforms and will counter anybody who paints us with a broadstroke.

What they did was still blatant market manipulation, even if the conspiracy theories are all wrong and it was unintentional. That alone warrants a serious investigation and probably the introduction of some new market regulations.
Because they are better at growth hacking than providing a service
That was nicely done!

I am glad to see an actual IP lawyer's view on this thing.
That's entirely possible and even likely, but that's still a huge market failure that should be corrected. You can't have a situation like this happening to some stocks exclusively.

Where were those increases in required DTC collaterals when TSLA/NIO/your favorite SPAC was going through the roof? The conspiracy just moves to whoever unilaterally decided to raise collateral requirements from 2% to 100% -- a 4900% increase, and nice and whole numbers that seem fully arbitrary. A situation in which people have settled in their accounts should not depend on some backdoor credit wizardry that ultimately damages retail investors.
They literally did not have enough money in the bank to continue business as usual. If that's not a liquidity issue I don't know what is.
Who needs app stores?...
Sure, but there's no real reason why ALL companies need to have their stocks compatible with each other on the same exchange.
Sorry to be skeptical, but as the web is already evolving at a faster pace, and if web-assembly succeeds, we might don't even need another app/play store.
SSB has a pretty clever name resolution system[1]. The only problem I see with it is that it is a bit too leaky. You may learn someone’s nickname from a friend, but you also may not if your friend doesn’t tell you. SSB makes the gossiping of names a little too default for my taste.
