Thank you. I appreciate the detailed explanation, but you really did sum it up well in the first sentence.

I have some frustrations with terminals, which I have always interpreted as being caused by their adherence to some old standards. After reading this comment, I think I can see how it's more the terminal paradigm itself that is responsible for some of these things.

Now, in the future I will be able to look at these frustrations in a new light, and hopefully understand a little better why it makes sense to continue using the terminal paradigm despite them.

This is something I've struggled to understand for a long time, and your comment, obvious though it may seem to some, is one of the first helpful answers I've seen.
RH is subject to a ton of federal regulations that social media isn’t. They legally cannot cut off one set off investors in order to enrich another. It’s a felony. We are not discussing free speech here.
Moving back to my actual point, the SEC and DOJ should leverage this prior settlement to enforce stricter sanctions.

The mere existence of the prior action makes them cannon fodder. Hit them.
And all of that doesn't contradict with the "PR Show" hypothesis (not to say - supports)
One of them requires you to look at your dash and not the road, and the other one is easily drowned out by other sounds.

Fidonet, a network to exchange mail between BBSes, was somewhat decentralized.
eh - you can actually read all the reviews by rating...

if you feel only 3 star reviews are valuable, amazon lets you read just the 3 star reviews. If stuff is being 'drowned out' its because your trying to read all 500 pages of reviews?

To me, a much bigger problem is the fact that reviews on amazon are for totally different products then whats being sold (Sellers 'recycle' pages and change the product being sold - allowing them to keep the reviews and ratings)

So basically - I have to read the reviews 'most recent' first anyway..

It doesn't matter who the players are, because the fundamental incentive to do, anything - money - is a zero-sum game. Its a points game. The Federal Reserve, a private bank and single entity, can and will print as much money as the government will take -at interest- to fulfill the whimsy of policy makers and constituents. Fractional Reserve banking systems do not work. Ours is broken and failing. We need a complete reset.
Robinhood is a SIPC member. It rarely comes into play, but my understanding is that SIPC is there to ensure securities get back to their rightful owner in the event that something weird happens to the brokerage.
If the person has only 18000 though (300 at 60) then if they put in 100 at $100, they'll only be able to buy 133 at 60.

I would still enter two bids; it's just a matter of adjusting how many at each level.
Building an Application That Scale
I can imagine at least the following:

If the stocks are still there, then you are entitled to get them.

Unfortunately, there is no way to check if the stocks are really there. RH showed you some pixels on the screen saying they hold stocks for you. If RH maliciously or by mistake lost them or never bought them, then there is no third party that will make you whole.

I thought about it, but honestly it took a lot of time and energy out of me already, I just don't want to deal with them again.

I just won't ever do business with them again, and I tell my story from time to time to people that ask my opinion about ISPs.

I'm not even sure I have a case, I looked a bit online and as you said, lying is not illegal even if in cases like this that doesn't sit very well with me.

In your case, isn't having a counter notice mechanism a requirement? I guess you could have sued them as well for that? But I understand, I don't want to have to sue every company I do business with, that's not a healthy environment even though it probably would be better for everyone in the long run.
It’s not on par in that one is more absurd and unrealistic than the other. So I acknowledge your critique. But my point was more that the psychological root causes of both are similar. It comes from a tendency to latch onto a self-serving or pleasing or favorable explanation. An unproven or unrealistic or outright false narrative will do if it makes us comfortable. Ultimately, I see this example with broker collusion theories as a sign that no one is holier than others or above these very human tendencies.

Show HN: Paraglide: Create no-code automated AI workflows in minutes
Hi everyone!

Just launched on Product Hunt today for public use. Would love some support!

Before building Paraglide, I asked myself the question: why aren't more people automating machine learning, even-though the tools exist? After talking to hundreds of users, the answer was obvious. The tools that exist right now are all the same. They force you to work completely hands off, and give their platform full control! Paraglide is different. You can customize exactly what you want, and let us handle the rest! We've built it in layers, the natural language grammar + custom modules, to help users of all expertise levels customize the AI pipeline.

At this stage, I'm primarily just looking for feedback. That's why we've made the service so cheap compared to its competitors. Would love to have you on the API trying it out!
Well something weird happened already so I dobut it's that hard for them to loose your shares

I ran quant funds.

As a quant, you are going to be long history and short novelty. I think a massive pandemic plus massive financial stimulus qualifies as novelty. The more history, the more confident you are that things will correct, but also the more history the more exposed you are to a regime change. Think of it like hypothesis testing, if evidence builds up over time it will take more evidence to change the test.

Having said that, timescale is relevant too. The kinds of strategies mentioned are somewhat long term buy-and-holds of certain kinds of portfolio, which require time to play out, and which have the attention of ordinary investors. If you were looking at very short term strategies like what an HFT might look at, the evidence builds up super fast in comparison.

The other big issue is you tend to look at whatever patterns you find that are repeated, but you don't know why. The sort of thoughts that lead you to buy techs during the pandemic come from some kind of idea about dynamics, which are not so easy to prove.
Great work!
I join the margins bandwagon: when displaying a single column, it would be great to be able to have a not too big page width, as very long lines on a desktop monitor are hard to read.
I tend to think that it's become too common to dabble in shares. And I know this is me being a bit snotty. But there's real risk there and when I started out, I didn't use an app. I went to an office with broker and did the orders. There's a certain risk with an app, and an echo chamber. A lot of people can make silly mistakes. And that's part of the market too, but that customer killing themselves over a bad trade is a tradgedy.
Other than the obvious that masks work and work better the more people wear them, this paper seems to highlight the important of speech for producing small particles that float longer. Breathing has more momentum to the particles but talking produces smaller particles that break up further.

I don't like that they suggest fit standards rated masks (ie, brand name N95) should be reserved exclusively for medical and related persons. That was okay a year ago but it's really time to increase production of tightly fit low pressure drop N95 masks for everyone.

It's a great irony people will stick it to the man using a private closed walled garden. Pump and dump is market manipulation. We all know the system will mitigate, both for survival but also stability and preventing bubbles.
I find the distinction between “fake”, “stub” and “mock” very useful when making decisions about my own code, but I’ve basically given up on using it to communicate because I never find myself dealing with anyone who cares about the different meanings. Most people I know use “mock” to refer to any kind of test double.

added to my arduino projects I can try! thanks!
Here's one example: Why can't I interact with text at the prompt in the way I do in every other text input context on my modern computer? Selecting text with shift and arrow keys, moving the cursor with the mouse.

Keep in mind that I do not deeply understand the stack of standards and implementations that comprise a terminal. That said, my assumption is that this complaint is an unfortunate, unavoidable byproduct of that stack.

While introducing newcomers to terminal usage, there are simple actions from the gui world that do not work at all, or even seem to break the terminal display. It's extremely confusing for them, they get over it eventually, and come to accept that the terminal just can't do certain things. This is what I mean by being unable to move into the future.

As a point of comparison, consider how much of a mess it is to deal with spaces in file names, in bash. To a newcomer, this seems like a crazy hassle, some antiquated nonsense. It's hard for them to understand how experienced Linux users can stand to deal with it. It's annoying, but it's a direct consequence of the choice to use the space character as the delimiter between tokens in bash. This choice is actually super convenient most of the time, because that is the best use of the space character/key in a terse shell language.

What is the analogous rationale behind the shortcomings of the terminal paradigm? What would we need to give up, in order to make the terminal interface a little bit more modern?
Both. I suspect there is some kind of FDIC-like insurance but not sure of the specifics.
Fair enough. There's a tension here between integrity and usefulness that is interesting, though. If I were to put myself into their shoes I'd be hesitant to commit to a specific public-facing policy for filtering ratings and reviews, though.
To be clear, RH (and others) blocked their users from trading those stocks. That’s separate from trading halts, which are initiated by the listing exchange based on algorithmic rules and apply for all trades in the US. The broker is in its right to give you a margin call anytime. It cannot liquidate your position if the stock is halted by the exchange, because all trades are halted during that time.

All that said, my personal opinion is that they couldn’t check in a code change to handle the increased collateral requirements, so the only feasible and somewhat legal way to save RH was to prevent its users from buying more. Pretty shitty, but then again, ever since RH crashed on 2020-02-29 because none of their devs thought of leap years, I can’t say I expect very much from them technology-wise.
If I understand correctly, it's actually even stranger: "Nobody owns stock. What you own is an entitlement to stock held for you by your broker. But your broker doesn't own the stock either. What your broker owns is an entitlement to stock held for it by Cede & Co., which is a nominee of the Depository Trust Company, which is a company that is in the business of owning everyone's stock for them." - https://www.bloomberg.com/opinion/articles/2015-07-14/banks-...
A simple example is how you can slide some list items to expose a delete button. Yet only some lists support that. So you’re apparently expected to slide every list to see if it supports that paradigm. Instead of doing something like normalizing a small arrow on list items that support such a thing. Everything is hidden.

Burger menus are great. You’d never be able to fit all those options on screen at once, nor would it make sense for rare actions. But the burger menu gives people a place to put actions on mobile UI where others, like Apple, would just remove them and gimp the mobile experience.

It’s why all of Apple’s first party applications are so bad, like the podcast and news app. There are like zero options. Just add and remove and consume.
Oh really? I didn’t see that, got a link?
This is why I prefer my money be with IBKR.

I already know when it comes to volatility, they are going to choose IBKR over my account which is good because usually "my account" is fine but its the others who are doing really crazy things.

I know IBKR will be around in the morning. That's why I love them.
I’m not keeping my money with a financial institution that lies to me.

I know for a fact my bank lies. They've been fined hundreds of millions of dollars for money laundering (it's HSBC). A few years ago I looked in to moving to a more honest bank, but I couldn't find one that also met basic criteria like having access to cash points in the UK and having a half decent mobile banking app. Literally every major bank that operates in the UK has stories of doing frankly awful things.

Since then I've joined Monzo, who do seem to be genuinely above board, but finding an honest financial institution is really hard.

Honestly the pacing and structure of NYT articles is so weird. Sometimes I read an article and after a few well structured paragraphs it seems that they just add random additional info, go down rabbit holes and just end abruptly.

This could be evidence that the often used trope that "open source" software is more secure because there are more "eyes" looking at it is false or just misleading.

If everyone using "open source" believes someone else is looking at the code for security problems, who is it that actually is? (conjecture, not enough of the "good" people. Sad face)

Snark aside, a code base can consist of many millions * N lines of code. I am skeptical of the numbers presented at https://www.visualcapitalist.com/millions-lines-of-code/ but it can be used as a starting point.

How many lines of code can a human security auditor process in a day, 2000, 3000? At what point does system complexity / other component interaction cause failure? What is the rate of change for the code base?

How many capable human security auditors exist in the world? How many can you hire?

My personal opinion about how to get a human to identify problems is that they have to be able to build very accurate "mind" models of how complex software behaves. My experience tells me this is a very difficult skill to teach to adults. My feeling is that it is tied to how an individual perceives, models and transitions between real and abstract things.

Using computers to "solve" this problem seems like it is the answer, but doing so requires humans and human interactions with entirely disjoint skill sets to make it happen. I don't think the current way that "security problems" are handled is going to suddenly make this happen. Opinion: "Open Source" software vendors will find it difficult to get any traction on this problem.

Hiring Problem: If human security auditors find a problem and prevent it from ever being known, how do you quantifiably measure their effectiveness and justify the costs in employing them?

Fictional-Exec: "We've not had a security problem in two years, why are we paying XXXX for all these security people? What are they doing?"

TL;DR (at the end :-): This is not surprising. Other surprises will continue to happen. This is why the "security industry" has lots of players peddling some quite awful products. It is easy to backwards-sell a product if if has been "taught" a specific problem.

I disagree that there is any fundamental difference between Linux and OpenBSD, when it comes to supporting new features, around who should do the work. You’ll find plenty of “where’s the patch?” replies in linuxland too.

The difference is that OpenBSD BDFLs (Theo et al.) have not been willing to compromise their vision of what the OS should be and how it should be developed just to chase popularity. Look at how they still use CVS, ship their own httpd and ssl libs, dropped sudo years ago (and then rewrote it)... they prioritise consistency and reliability over ubiquity and “the new shiny”. Chances are that, even if you wrote a BT stack yourself and submitted it, it wouldn’t be merged unless it fits their philosophy.

That’s the real difference: Linus and his generals have been willing to accomodate and support a higher number of features just for the sake of it, because it was cool; they were more accepting of incoming developers; and they were much friendlier towards business interests, accepting binary blobs and so on, which is somewhat ironic (Linux is very hard-GPL “inside” but then gave up when it comes to drivers; OpenBSD is, well, BSD everywhere, but they push super hard for manufacturers to open their drivers).

OoenBSD makes IT better too, but it does it on its own terms, and that’s fine.
This was an extremely eye opening thread. Thank you for explaining it in such clear and concise terms.

Have You Played in a Casino?
I played and still play and I win good money on the service https://www.getslots.com/. The service has clear graphics, beautiful design, and the site is very easy to use. All tabs are conveniently located, and funds are withdrawn to various cards or payment systems within one hour.
The casino is full of games for different tastes, I personally like slot machines with pharaohs, as I am a fan of Egypt and its culture. The slot machines often feature winning combinations, which are sometimes multiplied several times thanks to free spins. By the way, tournaments and promotions are often held here, which give a chance to earn various bonuses. In regular spins (free spins), you can earn a little, but if this bonus appears in the machine, then the winnings can be multiplied several times. If you play constantly, then it is easy to take the leading position in the tournament. I was in the top 50 winners, however, I didn't manage to get the main prize. The service also has a loyalty program that provides players with pleasant bonuses for their activity. When I first registered, I received a welcome bonus for a deposit - bonus funds + free spins. This bonus can be obtained for the first three deposits. On that day, I won a decent amount in the slot machines, which I transferred to the Yandex card. Here you can also withdraw bitcoins, only I don't have a personal account there, and it's very expensive!
And one more of the advantages of casinos is that they have polite consultants in the support service. I several times asked questions (I didn't quite understand the rules of the games and about bonus accruals) in support, and they gave me an answer within 30 minutes. Due to the good bonuses, high-quality service, the kindness and honesty of the developers, a large assortment of slot machines and slots, I continue to play here for almost 1 year.
