It's definitely not only Robinhood restricting trading the last few days. There may be differences in Robinhood's behavior and risk management, but I wouldn't trust any article that doesn't put it in context with all the other brokers.
No, that's the beauty of it :)
Aren't you able to provide examples that you've seen happening to others in this site?

Because if not nobody knows what you're referring to, and you could just as well haven't made the comment in the first place.
How on earth did you get that from what I wrote?
Worth noting that Michael Burry has had a long position in GME for quite a while. Will be interesting to see Scion's next 13F.
I think "Australia devoted to agriculture" is meant to be a separate clause.
NO! The important (and hardest) part is NONE OF THE ABOVE. It's understanding the REAL WORLD PROBLEM that the software is intended to help with!

Example: A decade ago I hired a Designer who had the potential to become a decent JS/UI coder, but wasn't one yet. He upleveled his own JS skills to where he was quite competent. But more importantly, we made sure he learned WHAT THE SOFTWARE DOES IN THE REAL WORLD. If he doesn't know that, and how the people that use it think about their own jobs and environments, he can't possibly design and write good interfaces. (This was software to manage, operate, maintain, and optimize utility-scale solar power plants.)

When we merged with another company in the space a year or two later, he came back and reported that he was stunned that he (the UI designer!) knew MUCH more about how solar power plants actually operated than any of their "engineers" writing their application code. (And yes, he did...)

It's not about solving the problem in the currently "right" or trendy way - it's about doing a good job of solving the right problem in a really useful way!

(FWIW, I no longer care at all which tools, languages, or frameworks are used - if you care about that, you're focusing on the wrong stuff...)
1.4 million people though doesn't equal 1.4 million ships. Divide it by let's say 15 people per ship and then all you have is a little less than 100k ships. Which doesn't sound like a lot.
I always just assume it so they earn interest on the money they have withdrawn immediately from the payer's account, yet refuse to deposit into the receiver's account for 3-5 biz days. I don't think I'm being cynical about it. It's the only logical explanation. Computers only working banker's hours is not a logical excuse (while fun to joke about). A phone support person tried to tell me that a human still approves the transactions. Whatever that means, but it's not logical either.
I wonder if unintended acceleration lawsuits will go away - or become a really really big deal.
I remember when this came out 20 years ago. It was part of the whole wave of P2P filesharing programs that came out between 1999-2002: Napster, Gnutella, Kazaa, Audiogalaxy, etc. Amazing it's still going on.

BTW, for folks new in tech - it's amazing how influential that wave of programs were, even though they largely failed in the marketplace. Napster founder Sean Parker later became the first investor and first president of Facebook. Also involved in the wave (in a tangential way) was Mark Zuckerburg, whose Synapse Media Player got a $M+ buyout offer from Microsoft while he was still in high school. Uber founder Travis Kalanick's first two projects were Scour (a P2P filesharing app) and Red Swoosh (a P2P CDN). I met the AudioGalaxy founder while working on Google Search - he later went on to become one of the early Waymo engineers. The Kazaa founders later went on to found Skype, and we know where that went. Chord (an academic research project in distributed hash tables) was led by Robert Tappan Morris (originally famous for creating the Internet Worm of 1988), who then went on to co-found YCombinator, which owns the website you're reading this on. The gossip protocol invented & refined by Gnutella forms the basis for many cryptocurrency P2P protocols like Bitcoin & Ethereum.

There's probably several trillion dollars in market cap attributable to the intellectual descendants of a bunch of nerds who wanted to share stuff over the Internet and fuck over the RIAA, MPAA, and governments.
I think you're right, now that I know what to look for. The AZ/Oxford vaccine has lower symptomatic efficacy than the mRNA ones, and it's asymptomatic efficacy is lower still. We don't know what the asymptomatic efficacy of the mRNA vaccines is yet, but since their symptomatic efficacy is higher, it would be reasonable to expect their asymptomatic efficacy to also be higher.

So at the end of the day, the main question regarding the AZ/Oxford vaccine is whether a half-dose starter shot regimen, or longer time between doses can bring its efficacy more consistently up around 90%, which would make it only slightly less effective than the mRNA ones, or if it's efficacy is actually just lower.
I'm not assuming anything, I'm just asserting that it's a rational strategy that has a possibility of succeeding.

Can the short sellers stay solvent long enough to wait for the price to drop? Short squeezes can last for weeks. The answer is already no, at least some of them cannot, e.g. Melvin Capital

What narrative? I've seen every possible article on the topic in the last two days. Every single narrative exists. Brilliant retail investors. David and Goliath. Idiotic YOLOing. Claims that Robinhood, etc are in cahoots to sabotage people. Claims that this isn't about the money and actually it is about screwing the rich. The squeeze is illegal/legal. The trading halts are illegal/legal.

There is clearly no coordinated agenda among news agencies here. It is a compelling story and a bunch of people wrote their hot takes on the topic.
Just curious, how did you make the links clickable in your submission text? I wasn't able to do that for mine.
That would be the general approach if possible with c code that isn't thread safe. It's a matter of if that is possible with a given library (it's difficult for example with GTK).
In the long run, the market gets more rational. In the short term, anything can happen.

Humans are emotional and make mistakes, but most investors at least attempt to make sound investments, and that’s what drives the market at the end of the day.

If GameStop the company continues its failing trajectory, then GameStop the stock will eventually follow.
Statistically, in a zero sum game, where all players are equally skilled and the winner of each transaction is determined at random. The more transaction made, the more the wealth accumulates.

What this means is, that unless you are already one of the richest person on the stock markets, your most likely outcome is that you will loose money by participating. So—unless you are already rich—your optimal strategy is not to participate in the stock markets.
This isn’t holding mania. It’s a war. $GME is the front line.
That's exactly what I mean. Even if he thought he had some power, or acted as if he did, it's in his best interest to downplay that as much as possible.

This guy was a well known poster. I'm sure he thought he had some power to motivate wsb users to invest, but he might not have predicted he had enough power such that he would get embroiled in an investigation. Regardless of how "internet-tuff-guy" people are, most people really don't like to suddenly be thrown into the limelight of a financial fraud investigation, even if they are innocent of any crimes.

Thus, the CYA language. Better to get out in front and claim ignorance just in case.
All we need to wait for now is the shoeshine boy's tip and it'll be time to get out! See https://seekingalpha.com/instablog/661124-brijwanth/73895-hi... for a humorous variation on that classic theme.
The manufacturing cost is tiny. It's .2cm squared, so at 0.05 defects per cm^2, you expect to lose about 0.2% to defects. So-- die manufacturing costs are 2300/(20000*.996) == around 11 cents.

Small run packaging, along with distribution costs, etc, will dominate.

The real cost is amortization of R&D and mask costs.
If it's about lack of decrease in market share, then the existence of the ads product is not a net positive for small businesses. It is potentially just extracting a rent out of them without any aggregate benefit by pitting businesses against each other in a coordination problem.
> No - why would this conversation have anything to do with developers who don’t want to do tracking?

Because it's FB. Pure and simple. Why would you think for one second that it would be anything different? You want to use/live in the FB environment, you play by their rules. That means using their SDK in all of your things deployed via their environment.

So in this case, it's good for the goose but not the gander when FB slaps terms on their platform, but not when Apple does it on theirs. Yes cart->horse, but you just know it's going that direction.
Very well thought out, thank you for taking the time to reply. Indeed his explanation makes sense in a certain context. However, if he shut it down because it was illegal, then he needs no other explanation. Consider that his primary explanation, the first thing he says is that he's worried about the clearing system. Not the legality...this raises an eyebrow.

Not saying he's wrong, just that framed in the context of deep-pocketed, connected market players losing money then he'd better be pretty damned specific.

Like you, I won't bother to dignify the comments on the video. There is a mob with pitchforks out there. The ending will not be pretty and the repercussions will be felt for a long time.
I mean, he literally just said that money is a construct, and maybe implied that fundamental value is too, which is sort of a reductive argument, but going from that to "market manipulation" and "there should be no real rules" is a strawman argument.
You want to blame the regulators but imho any system that relies solely regulators is going to be fragile. The regulators always have a chance of being captured by the industry or just plain incompetent.

We have a culture of people not feeling the negative repercussions of "bad actions". Buying multiple homes was irresponsible, mortgage brokers immediately selling every loan is a moral hazard and Wall street levering up on CDOs were all problems. 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
Robinhood are tiny on the brokerage stage. Important to retail, barely matter otherwise. That’s my understanding at least

PHP was the most competitive when ASP was around. After that, PHP entered a dark age where almost every other language ran circles around it in terms of performance, security, maintainability, tool support... and literally everything.

Some of those problems got addressed but by the time that happened PHP's reputation was irreversibly trashed and now nobody wants to know about it.

That is the world we live in. People do not want to learn PHP or work in PHP. Do a survey on any higher education institution and verify it yourself.

All the features you feel proud about... go take a look at the Java VM, .NET VM or a JS VM like V8... Those VMs are much more powerful than the PHP interpreter will ever be. Even CPython is faster.

Plus, as a Java developer you can make more than a PHP developer and there are more types of development you can do. Mobile, backend, desktop. PHP is mostly limited to backend and it is not even the best solution for that.
Why assume they'd only want to distort prices up rather than down?

On the contrary, it seems to me that "banning selling, not buying" could be a useful tool for helping out some hypothetical buddies who would rather that a large tranche of 115s & 320s don't end up very inconveniently in the money.

Poor analogy.

"Autopilot" comes from airplanes, where all it has done historically is "keep the plane going in a straight line".

In contrast, Tesla's AutoPilot can do much more.

Notably as well with autopilot in airplanes is that the pilot should always be in the cockpit, ready to take over... just like in a Tesla.
They do. And they're called suckers for a reason.
Where would they get the money for a dividend and why would they care about the shorts at all??? The best thing they could do is sell new shares.

The stock market--just like the economy--is not a zero-sum game. I don't know what to tell you. The S&P500 over the long term has consistently performed quite well, for many decades. Maybe if your picture of participating in the stock market involves day trading, sure, statistically the majority of people who try will break even or come out with a loss. But that's not what financial advisers recommend average people do! You should be doing a daily cost average by setting aside a small portion of your income to invest, ideally in a tax-advantaged IRA (or 401k if your employer offers one.)
I remember reading or hearing somewhere: we have some of our smartest people working on the best way to sell ads to people.

I'd also point out that "not replying in 1 hour" is a very high bar. HN doesn't give notifications of thread replies, I don't know what timezone that person was in and people have real lives that take priority over forum discussions.

I sometimes post something here and completely forget to look for replies. I'd hate to come back a week later to find out I'd been vilified for it.
Simply saying 'fundamentals' allows one to nullify things they don't understand, like owning the rights to one of the biggest duopolies (x86 that without one becomes a monopoly).

The issue with tech, much like math, is that it often takes a while to figure out all the potential, case in point GPGPUs and Deep Learning revolution. The tech, the ideas, the internal code/models, the people (Jim Keller in AMD, and TSLA) are all catalysts that can't be quantified in the same way as traditional 'fundamentals' are treated.
It also seems like a good way to stave off lawsuits (valid or not) by keeping everyone on his side.

Personally I'm looking forward to reading the Michael Lewis book.
Am I missing something here? The winning play is just not having the instant feature or at very least making it an “and also take out a loan” button. Then you have a $0 balance until your transfer settles and then it’s positive. No weirdness.

That's just how a call option works. I don't know the specifics of custodianship around an executed option and what collateral the buyer's broker is responsible for upon execution, but it's probably equivalent to buying 100 shares.

With respect to it being possible -- if RH denied options holders the right to execute they'd be prosecuted and fined an enormous amount. There is quite literally a contract that says the buyer has the right to acquire shares in a certain scenario -- the buyer's broker responsibility here is simply to facilitate, and is in no place legally to deny that right.
> ACH settlement is getting faster.

I have seen a snail move through my garden at a faster pace. If it were 1992, and all we had were 9600kbps, then I could understand the burst all transactions after hours and then do the settle up over night. Suggesting that they are going to have 3 windows each day for settlement windows is a 1999 solution. That also sounds counter intuitive in that at each of those windows their systems will get slammed with orders to process. If they just let each one settle as they come in, then they would spread the load.

I'm really dumbfounded at how either I'm an idiot and just cannot understand the issue, or at how the rest of the world has been snowed over into believing it is terribly complex and takes decades to make incremental changes.

Bizarre. What grounds did they have for doing this?

Prima facie there are some similarities between this and the GME situation, I wonder if the outcomes will be the same.
Depends on the game.

I imagine Grand Theft Auto doesn't simulate any cars that are more than slightly farther than the render distance.

I've seen videos showing that Cyberpunk 2077 will even not simulate things just because they left your view. People and cars will just disappear after you turn around for a second.

Possibly a stupid question, but why would painting your roof blue help keep it any cooler than painting it white for example, which reflects more light?

Edit: Ok it turns out there's 2 parts to a cooling roof, how reflective it is, and how good it is at emitting infrared radiation (emissivity). Reflectivity of visible and UV light prevents more energy from being absorbed, but doesn't necessarily mean the material cools down well once hot. A high emissivity means the material can cool down quickly through radiation.

I guess YInMn blue has a high emissivity.

There's definitely room for growth - when has the business never asked for more haha. It's Agile were I work, so... Generally we deliver the basic UI with functionality to change one field/setting. See how they like it while we start working on the other fields. Assume they want more than they initially ask for because they overlook the details, like audit history and reporting stuff for example. And we obviously build in some basic logic/input constraints so people aren't entering unrealistic stuff.

Overall, it depends on the system if it saves time/effort or not. If the changes are infrequent and basic, you might as well just have them send an email and plug it into an SQL template that you saved from the last request. If it's repetitive and frequent, then I think it makes sense to build a simple UI and let them deal with it.

It could also depend on what you like. You mention wanting to build system over changing business logic. So maybe you would like building the system for them to make thier own changes vs making updates yourself.

I do feel you om the business logic stuff. I'm currently dealing with a problem because of the business requests. They commingled business display content and system data in one field, then the other team decided they would change that field content per the business request without consulting with downstream systems. Not to mention they aren't properly following json format so we have to do some escaping/parsing before running the message through a real parser... it's so frustrating. And of course the pressure is on me to fix it, and my suggestion to roll back that change the broke multiple systems was a no-go. Apparently form is more important than function.
