With all due respect, I'm talking about the practice of aligning user needs to product. If we're talking about UI elements inside a design system (such as material design), that is a different discussion alltogether. That's not even where the OP is about.

"The worst thing that there's budget allocated for such things" is just offensive and invalidates all the progress that was made in the past decades in the field of HCI.

Frankly it's dissapointing to see in HN how little understanding there is in what is happening in this field and to see all these passive-aggressiveness towards UX design is frankly demotivating. UX is something that in my opinion is carried by every person that touches the product in some way, it's about more than just putting some flows together as a designer and harrassing developers.
> A capability-aware UI would, at the "what do you want to do with this file?" system dialog grant a one time capability to read the particular file to the app the user picks. The capability persists as long as the app retains it. The app can't fork off a sub-process or send it to another app and clone the capability to the file; it would have to ask the user to do that. The mechanism for that trusted user request and response is where all UIs (and most CLIs) fail.

Isn't this precisely how iOS works?
Yes, but the dupe detector is weak, so articles can be resubmitted after some time when they didn't get enough traction. The rues are not very clear (How much time? How many upvotes? How many comments?), it's art of the secret sauce and perhaps the mods change the details from time to time.

So, here we usually link the previous submission if it has a lot of upvotes or comments. But in this had one upvote and one comment (and the URL is wrong?), that is clearly too few.

As always, there are exceptions, when the previous post has a very good comment. I like to link to the comment and perhaps copy a small part.
> youre saying WSB making a stock so volatile that a brokerage cant afford to keep it on its books is a moral victory? what morals are you basing this on?

The person has already answered it:

>> the kind that institutions do all the time without having these kinds of problems.
We're talking about UX designers, and in particular UX designers at large tech companies (FAMAG). UX designers at e.g. Amazon, do have huge optionality to go elsewhere and still get paid good salaries. They are not e.g. clothing workers in Bangladesh.

> Moreso this argument isn't one to be taken seriously because it assumes every collective failure is a failure of millions of individual choices rather than any of the cultural inertia or environmental influences that steer our choices.

That's a strawman - I'm not saying this applies for 'every collective failure'. Systemic factors are important, however we shouldn't absolve individuals at large tech firms of their own responsibility.
Investment ? Not sure about that
I'm pretty sure a mass buying of the stock would drive the price right into the floor.

So the first few people will get an extremely high price because like you said, the shorts are forced to buy, but as the sell off begins the price will plummet.
I would love to see that app.

Based on my very limited knowledge, it is my understanding that banks/brokers don't actually consider the deposit to be valid until several days after the transaction. Even if you deposited cash they would probably find some way to delay letting you use the funds pending some 'internal checking'.

So in Robinhood's case if there are many people depositing dollars to buy stock then that could be their reason or excuse to not have funds available for trading. Just a guess.
borrows don't expire, puts don't have infinite loss potential.
This is the basis of so many products on kickstarter.

Either that they have a good novel idea but lack the knowledge of the professionals to make it a polished, (and balanced in the case of games) product, or that they think they have a new idea but they don't realise it's just a bad idea that the industry has avoided for a reason.

I don't disagree that there's been some great indie games, but there's been a lot of highly advertised crap too
Statues – Hither and Thither
Reading it while having lunch, the money shot is on page 2 :

WHEREAS, as part of that scale-up, AstraZeneca has committed to use its Best Reasonable Efforts (as defined below) to build capacity to manufacture 300 million Doses of the Vaccine, at no profit and no loss to AstraZeneca, at the total cost currently estimated to be Euros for distribution within the EU (the “Initial Europe Doses”), with an option for the Commission, acting on behalf of the Participating Member States, to order an additional 100 million Doses (the “Optional Doses”).

Will study the definition of the BRE now.

edit : the defition of the BRE is on page 3, and it is nothing special.
Being consistent and avoiding hypocrisy is not the same thing as tolerating the intolerant. Our most common tool to do so are laws that governments everyone equally, and which enforcement is designed for consistency.

The trouble comes back to the issue when a community and places such as universities tries to mimic laws without actually consider the problem of consistency, and at the same time wanting to believe in principles that they then don't apply to everyone. The result is inconsistency, hypocrisy, and often in order to escape the fact, removal of transparency.

Probably true for the hobbyist, but I'd argue some professionals may do the activity more by orders of magnitude, which would affect their creativity, paid or not.
Which I believe is due to them having shorted over 100% of the float making it impossible for the shares which were shorted to be purchased.

Well, here are some quotes from it: "When standing on that hilltop late on an October afternoon in AD 2002 I truly felt that it had been at Göbekli and not Jericho that the history of the world had turned.", "Çatalhöyük turned out to be quite simply the most remarkable Neolithic settlement ever
discovered – although that status must now be shared with, or perhaps even surrendered to, Göbekli Tepe."

The book certainly makes its significance clear, and explains the unexpected early social organisation required.
The people using Robinhood are to some degree trading on margin, that means that they are trading with money they don't have in their account, which means that Robinhood also does not have it, at least not from you. They need to have a buffer of money to deal with the borrowing, which in this case they almost ran out of.
The book "Dead Mountain: The Untold True Story of the Dyatlov Pass Incident" goes into this.

IIRC, an avalanche as an explanation was rejected.

The conclusion was something like a harmonic wind incident. This caused the hikers to be highly uncomfortable and disoriented, so they left the tent and later died in the confusion.
Exactly. And one that they can get away with making because it's not quantifiable. You can't measure creativity.

And I wouldn't be surprised if they're not truly viewing the whole indie landscape. For every truly innovative, well balanced game, there may be another 100 failed kickstarter clones of existing games, or just plain bad games
So it's impossible?
No, there is no inflation. When the Fed talks about inflation it talks about CPI inflation. Why is the CPI inflation rate important? Because unlike stocks and houses and other assets CPI tracks the real economy. If unemployment or underemployment is high then CPI inflation is low which tells you that the economy is doing very poorly. Most economies had their highest growth during years with moderate inflation. Maybe 4-5%.

What you are calling inflation is actually the opposite. It's deflation. When hoarding assets becomes more profitable than working, the real world economy starts dying and CPI reflects that very well.

Workers benefit from inflation because inflation is generally followed by productive investments. Driving prices of consumer goods up makes it profitable to produce them which makes it profitable to employ people to produce them.

Deflation makes it harder to run a profitable business but it also makes it easier to run a non profitable business (that also includes overvalued businesses that do not earn enough to justify their valuation).
This is about settlement on the back end.

They take forever, but if I had to have been explained each line for each form, it would have taken a week.

Instead, our attorney got a copy of all forms the day before closing for him to review. Then he could review them quickly, looking for anything unusual. Then, during closing, we didn't have any questions, so this made an already long process a bit more efficient (still took over an hour).
Yeah, there are so many criteria on which to evaluate a board game— a quick look at the board games section on Kickstarter reveals hundreds of games which pitch well— gorgeous art, great premise, but you can tell just by looking at it that the gameplay fundamentals aren't there. Either the mechanics are boring (a reskin of classics like Parcheesi or Uno) or it's a jumble of stuff cribbed from other games with no cohesion ("look here's the deckbuilding part, and over here is worker placement, and look an area control mechanic on a modular board, yay!").

And there's the whole business of how much of a luck factor you want, how much rubber banding there is to keep it competitive, how much your strategy has to adapt in response to what others are doing, etc etc. These are things that pro designers carefully iterate on in the context of hundreds of test plays, often with a community of other designers who are equipped with the necessary experience and context to think deeply about how a game works and will work across multiple playthroughs.
Facial recognition has a disturbing habit of "catching" the wrong people.

"We have video of a crime, arrest these people", is how facial recognition is advertised (and you bought the story).

But it keeps being used as "there is a <19 times in 20> 87% chance that this person walking down the street in Atlanta is the person who robbed a liquor store in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan in 2006, go <violently> arrest that guy"
Could please provide sources for these claims?

>* Crypto is a Ponzi scheme.

I agree but that doesn't explain why Bitcoin had multiple bubbles and survived all of them. Bitcoin is highly deflationary. Bitcoins are lost all the time. The supply is only growing very slowly. It's also an "immature" asset compared to gold so a large influx of a new class of investors can drive the price up.

But the problem is not in the "basic and oversimplified gist". If you look at it on that level, it looks reasonable.

The problem is in nearly every detail that is left out of such an overview. Every little detail is weird, unexpected or annoying.
There is no ban on what was done. You don't understand the SEC regulations on naked short selling, which specifically allow the fund activity on GME.

As you wrote, the rules were created because this activity is the whole intent.

Go carefully read the SEC rules regarding this, specifically the exemptions which are written in law.

As I posted above, there is nothing illegal, immoral, evil, or deceptive about these practices. It's only when people don't understand the rules and most importantly why the rules are what they are that those people get upset.

It's like watching natives throw rocks at the moon to scare it off.
I think it’s fine to speculate, even wildly, while also seeking the truth. Especially if the truth isn’t out. It sounds like you are describing rejecting the truth, which isn’t what I think most people are doing here. Of course facts are always emerging and there will be lag time, so you and I may just be perceiving reactions differently
If everyone was honest then no. Unfortunately we don't live in such a world so we have to trust a third party.
> mapping the shared cache at a different address for every process (which, unless done carefully, would kill the benefits of it being in shared memory as the pages would all be dirtied)

Assume foo.dylib and bar.dylib are system libraries, both live in the shared cache, and foo links to bar. Both are loaded and mapped to a running user-space process.

If foo links to bar, then there must be a symbol table somewhere in physical memory with an entry that points to bar’s TEXT.

That symbol table is part of the shared cache, right? Doesn’t it already follow that bar’s TEXT needs to be at the same virtual address in every process?

To expand on this a little for anyone interested, the problem with classical market-making is that you only make money as long as the trades are crossing back and forth around a stationary price. If the market moves suddenly, you end up losing money. In your example, if a huge sell comes in at 10, and the market then moves down to 8 bid, 9 offered, the market maker has a position they bought at 10, but can only sell at 9 at best.

So, profitability depends on the ratio of the nice "random crossing" to the nasty "toxic flow". The toxic flow tends to come from large, well-informed market participants who can act very quickly. That means institutional players with colocated trading machines and so on. There are none of those on retail brokerages, so retail flow has a great ratio of random crossing to toxic flow, and so market makers are happy to pay for it. Meanwhile, the exchange itself is crowded with players like that, and there's a worse ratio, so market makers are a lot more wary.

This is why market makers invest a lot in low-latency trading. If you can find out about an impending market move, and cancel your resting orders before other participants cross into you, you can dodge the toxic flow, and have a better chance of making money.

Longer explanation: https://insights.deribit.com/market-research/toxic-flow-its-...

Unrelatedly, another source of revenue for market makers is maker-taker pricing, where the person crossing the market pays a little fee to the person who rested the order they crossed into:

For me the oddest thing about the situation is how people that absolutely won't believe Melvin Capital stating it has exited its position (an easily discoverable lie which would result in their LPs filing lawsuits against their personal wealth and probably jail sentences) seem to think all the people posting and upvoting BUY AND HOLD YOLO are acting in good faith and not trying to maximise the upside of their call options...

This is plain silly.

If you don't have burn in, you bias your estimate. Sure, in the long run the bias becomes smaller and smaller, but, as the saying goes, in the long run we are all dead.

MCMC is generally slow, any way to speed it up a bit is good. Throwing away the burn-in part of the chain is just such a way to speed it up.
It would be more of a run based on principle and fear rather than practicality. I can see why an investor would move to a competitor after seeing that RH can just stop anyone from trading, anytime.
It's got to be cultural, right? In humanity's case...

Anyway, my personal opinion isn't so much about long-term outcomes. Those seem almost wholly determined by genetics, anyway. It's instead a question of--

How happy is the child? How much do they enjoy life?

I feel like that's a question which researchers tend to miss, and/or assume doesn't matter -- perhaps because it's harder to measure -- but isn't enjoyment of life the entire goal, in the first place? And childhood is a significant fraction of life.
That’s not how internalizers work...
What purpose, exactly, does crypto serve? What problem does it solve?

It has failed as a payment system, as a currency, as a reserve currency, a remittance channel, a timestamping service, a settlement layer, a bank for the "unbanked", a cypherpunk liberator, a money laundering tool, a drugs-by-mail tool, a unit of accounting, a store of value, and as a "disruptive" fintech technology.

What exactly is the value in holding Bitcoin (or whatever)? My only hope is having someone in future come along and take it off my hands at a higher value than I bough it.

When I think of crypto/Bitcoin, I am reminded of Warren Buffett's view on gold:

> Today the world’s gold stock is about 170,000 metric tons. If all of this gold were melded together, it would form a cube of about 68 feet per side. (Picture it fitting comfortably within a baseball infield.) At $1,750 per ounce – gold’s price as I write this – its value would be $9.6 trillion. Call this cube pile A.

> Let’s now create a pile B costing an equal amount. For that, we could buy all U.S. cropland (400 million acres with output of about $200 billion annually), plus 16 Exxon Mobils (the world’s most profitable company, one earning more than $40 billion annually). After these purchases, we would have about $1 trillion left over for walking-around money (no sense feeling strapped after this buying binge). Can you imagine an investor with $9.6 trillion selecting pile A over pile B?

[…]

> A century from now the 400 million acres of farmland will have produced staggering amounts of corn, wheat, cotton, and other crops – and will continue to produce that valuable bounty, whatever the currency may be. Exxon Mobil will probably have delivered trillions of dollars in dividends to its owners and will also hold assets worth many more trillions (and, remember, you get 16 Exxons). The 170,000 tons of gold will be unchanged in size and still incapable of producing anything. You can fondle the cube, but it will not respond.

> Hancock didn't originate the theory an impact contributed to the Younger Dryas event, nor has he originated any evidence or research towards substantiating it. So other than mentioning it in some books and talk shows, what was his contribution that merits a PhD?

I didn't say he was the only one to do so, but he put in the work to get observational data and brought to the mainstream archeaologists and historians who wrote countless works and based their dissertations on their 'irrefutable fact' of how the Ice Age ended which never included an asteroid impact and he staunchly challenged academia as a JOURNALIST and did the legwork with his colleagues who were actually trained archeologists and documented his observations.

And just so it's clear: I'm not parroting academia's indoctrination it forced me to bend to, but Wikipedia is not a valid source for citation for a reason, and if I had submitted a paper referencing it was dismissed entirely.

But here is an essay from the Man himself if you are so inclined to read it [0].

I think his work is notable and his contributions worthy and have merit, which is honestly much more than what many people based their PhDs on when they make arguments about things like the extinction of wooly mammoths and other mega fauna as result of Human over hunting. When NOTHING could explain these massive dead zones, but were none the less awarded degrees for their findings.
