Naturally, many longs were in on margin. RH asserted their right under their TOS to margin call without notice. This might be legal, but it looks like mining the retail investors for gold. I think it should NEVER happen. A firm like RH should instead gather its fortitude and fund itself to ride such events out, and ALWAYS give accounts five days to respond to a margin call. To do otherwise is to "undermine market confidence" in the words of the SEC.
Great response! I agree.
You can rest easy knowing that most of these things provide practically no utility to anyone (or even negative utility), and they are simply speculative bubbles.
sure, there are exceptions to any rule.

my view is the general rule we are talking about is censorship is usually a tool of intolerance.

similarly, acting within our laws is usually the right course of action (and using the freedoms we have to attempt to change those laws we don't agree with).
Do you have specific individuals in mind? Because HN is a collective of a lot of people. I, for one, as posted had the same reaction both times.

Not every opinion is informed only by partisan position. I just believe in private ownership and personal rights. I believe in free speech but not in compelled speech.
I don't know Russian law, but the idea a missile test has to be kept secret because some reindeer got spooked and the spooked reindeer trampled some people and senior military officials would go to jail for it sounds very much like an urban legend.

As for directly connecting them absolutely, works great. Id recommend a cheap DAC off fs.com to connect them in that case.
They could've easily suspended new signups instead, and/or limited transactions to only those with settled cash.

They didn't announce anything to anyone until it went into effect, despite programming their systems in advance for the changes.

Every explanation they've provided has a million holes in it.
I've had what added up to a full day of interviews (and meals) on several occasions. In some cases there were many interviews since I was meeting many people on the team, which I would think is a good sign of culture, as opposed to one manager who makes hiring decisions by themself.
I don’t know where this perspective comes from. Reading the SEC note suggests that they are actively investigating or looking to actively investigate to see if there was market manipulation. No conclusions made as of yet.

When the market wildly diverges from steady state operations, this is an entirely reasonable thing for the SEC to do. An unstable market hurts the average person far more than a stable one.
Please don't let me come across as snippy or cross-examining here; I just spent a lot of energy on 'btilly upthread is all (I'm still gearing up to respond to his thing about Taibbi's LBO coverage, which has its own sort of funny history).

So, just, real quick: has it in the medium-to-recent past been a good idea to bet on the idea that the airline business will be dominated by some new entrant, rather than the major carriers we have now? Since Southwest entered the market, has there been a shakeup in the top tier of airlines that brought a newcomer in? Like, I know Alaska and Jetblue are a big deal, but if airlines were smart phones Delta would be Samsung and Alaska would be, like, LG.

I'm happy to noodle about Delta's prospects, but you can look at his piece and see what he's actually saying about Delta, as an example of how the stock market is fake and props up companies with no prospects. But you know why Delta's 2020 revenues are where they are, and it's not because some permanent shift away from Delta.

Your broker lends your share out.

I borrow it.

I sell it to Tom.

I borrow the share from Tom's broker.

Tom's broker and I both have no idea it's "the" "same" share I borrowed.

Boom, 200% short interest on "that" share.
So in left pocket RH has $200 from me, cash. And RH can't make a buy order for $200, because they need $200 in right pocket as collateral? Why not just use my cash as the cash collateral?

I still don't see how they need a billion-dollar cash hoard for non-margin buyers.
wow, I was staring at it for a bit before I realized:

for i in {1..10}; do echo $i; done

worked and was equivalent to:

for((i=1;i<=10;i++)); do echo $i; done

for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10; do echo $i; done
"how a lot of doctors viewed masks at the beginning of the pandemic"

Ok, so I've looked into the history of this a little, and most of the mask mythology seems misunderstood.

Prior to 2020, most medical professionals believed most viruses, and corona viruses particularly, could not be transported as aerosols. This was a subject of research where the data had not come in.

About late March, it began to appear that the virus could be an aerosol. Hard results did not come in until April and May, and many in the field discovered they had egg on their faces.

Conflicting advice is to be expected with new information.
The website doesn't load for me on firefox on Android - some vague security issue (I'm guessing it could be related to OSCP Stapling?). factorio.com appears to be on cloudflare, so you are of course right that it's not a hug problem.

Donald Trump is a billionaire. It is also plainly clear that he has conspiratorial thinking and is often fooled by completely incorrect information. Somebody being a successful tech entrepreneur has almost nothing to do with being able to develop deep understanding of rapidly changing situations off third hand evidence.
I know there is a lot of "anti nazi"/"anti fascism"/"anti racsim"/"social justice" activism, I was part of some of it myself, as I said. ;) Besides participating and sometimes helping to organize counter-protests to nazi protests, I was e.g. active in the EXIT project[1], an organization with the aim to help people leave nazi orgs/structures/lifestyle and find back into a life without extremsism.

But the label "antifa" or "antifascist" is forever burned for me. This wasn't just some "bad eggs" or "misguided youth". I've never met a self-declared "antifa" person who wasn't either a violent asshole or supported violent assholery, and I've met quite a few.

I tested various fio options, but didn't notice this one - I'll check it out! It might explain why I still kept seeing lots of interrupts raised even though I had enabled the I/O completion polling instead, with io_uring's --hipri option.

edit: I ran a quick test with various IO batch sizes and it didn't make a difference - I guess because thanks to using io_uring, my bottleneck is not in IO submission, but deeper in the block IO stack...
Yeah, I was using DFA.

Next step is trying alternative approach, but if that alternative doesn't work I'm going to see about wrapping your package for Python.

Thanks for all your work on it!

> A local restaurant is a bad example, better examples are small companies making a niche product or independent platforms in a niche. This affects companies buying ads on FB, but also those trying to understand their own customers to compete with Amazon and the other large companies. I don't work in ads, but I've talked to Googlers that do and the ads really do have a big impact for small businesses. I'd believe this is true.

This is kind of my point.

People keep echoing this phrase "Harming Small Business", the implication is it's an issue which affects all small businesses. It doesn't.

It's not even clear based on your post what type of business is impacted, or how many. Just some niche products... what does that even mean? Sellers on Etsy?
They’re poor communicators, or thought saying nothing would be better than saying they’d run out of money to cover counterparty risk.
Just because people are replying to your take, doesn't mean they are narcissists. Its possible to look at an argument and engage it without being triggered. People that disagree with you are not automatically x-ists. Though it sure is easier to believe they are, since that way you don't need to consider the alternative.
> Paul Revere’s participation in a Revolutionary War campaign “connected to the colonization of the Penobscot” tribe

It’s even more ridiculous than it sounds. As documented in the Families for San Francisco report https://familiesforsanfrancisco.com/Updates/ https://familiesforsanfrancisco.com/gallery/School%20Renamin... Revere was fighting the British in the Penobscot Expedition, not colonizing the Penobscot tribe of Native Americans as claimed by the School Names Advisory Committee.

> Sen. Dianne Feinstein’s role in a controversy over a Civic Center Plaza flag display that included the Confederate banner

This is ironic because in the resolution that the School Board adopted in 2018 that started this renaming business (https://go.boarddocs.com/ca/sfusd/Board.nsf/files/AYV7FN7557...), Feinstein is listed as one of the schools that they “proudly, confidently and with the advocacy and support of the community” renamed schools to! But now, the School Board has decided that it is time to rename the school away from her name.

> One school was found to be named after a street that was named after a South Carolina county that was named after an English politician who was impeached by the House of Commons in the 17th century.

They’re talking about Clarendon Elementary School, which is named after Clarendon Ave. The committee member claimed/speculated that this street is named after Clarendon County, South Carolina, but I haven’t found documentation proving this (it started showed up in maps of San Francsico around 1890). Clarendon County is named after Edward Hyde, 1st Earl of Clarendon, who owned the Carolinas and who oppressed people by violating habeas corpus in the 1660s.

Given the manifest stupidity at the school board, I wonder whether there will be increasing interest in creating new charter schools or interest in converting existing schools to charter schools (which must be approved by a majority of teachers).
When someone does this it means both the things you asked are being answered in the affirmative.

Huggingface Tokenizers (https://github.com/huggingface/tokenizers), which are now used by default in their Transformers Python library, use pyO3 and became popular due to the pitch that it encoded text an order of magnitude faster with zero config changes.

It lives up to that claim. (I had issues with return object typing when going between Python/Rust at first but those are more consistent now)
> 1) you get locked-in,

How do you get locked in? PRs, once merged, are just regular commits. You lose the history and discussion around the PR itself, but that's all, but it's not like any alternative allows you to migrate ( e.g. the abomination that is using email for git collaboration is stuck in unreadable, unsearchable, unindexed emails somewhere; you can copy the data pretty much the same way as from GitHub, but both are unexploitable without a lot of tinkering / adaptation)
Totally know what you mean. What I do is just assume I'm going to have to work until I die, and keep angling toward work I tolerate better. I try to invest wisely, maintain a few months of cash savings, etcetera, but don't think about it otherwise. Money is imaginary and anything could happen to it at any moment.

If once in a while I want to use some of my disposable income to spin a roulette wheel or buy GME, and can keep it under control, I see no problem. If I win, it's a nice surprise. But if I don't feel like playing, of course I won't win anything.

Despite having watched it since Monday or before, I don't think about what I could've won on GME this week any more than what I could've won at some dog track. I decided not to play, and that's that. My life continues on as normal.

Do you have any metrics to back this up?

Or is this your own fantasy you've built up...
Array unpacking is going to help make a lot of coding situations more concise. There isn't a direct comparison in the article, but from what I understand, something like this:

$array = array_merge(["a" => 0], $array1, $array2);

could be replaced with this:

$array = ["a" => 0, ...$array1, ...$array2];

It seems small here, but anything that stops devs from having to nest a bunch of array*() calls in PHP is an excellent change. I don't know how many times I've come across code that does something like this:

$array = array_values(array_unique(array_filter(array_merge($one, $two, $three))));
You are correct, it is suitable for small-medium traffic websites with less write operations and more read operations. We have a simple file locking mechanism to handle this situation. The caching part makes it a static storage by combining multiple files per query.
It looks like a buy two get one price. I think the standard version is $13,000.
They can loan your shares out whether they are bought with cash or margin. Some brokerages allow you to opt of loaning your shares to short sellers. Robinhood pays you part of the interest made if they lend your shares out, but as far as I know there is no way to opt-out of share lending on Robinhood.
Well, breaking change, but harmless in most instances, the other way around would be more harmful. Also that was I think a „from future import“ option so you could enable it while on python 2.7 on a per file basis

In safe Rust, all mutation must be either:

- Statically verified to be unique (&mut)

- Dynamically verified to be unique (RefCell)

- Behind a lock (Mutex, RwLock)

- Explicitly opt into weaker (but still consistent) guarantees (atomics)

- Some other abstraction built on those primitives (like channels)

Unsafe does exist, but it's something that the code must explicitly opt into, and they rules that must be followed are generally "the same" across the whole Rust ecosystem (rather than just accidentally stumbling into something that is OK in "normal" Scala but breaks some weird Akka rule).

In any case, the language enforces that you are self-consistent: if you use locks as your escape hatch for something then the code won't compile if you try to access it without an active lock.
How do you change the layer?
It's not really "Stamped". It's more of a photographic process. My basic understanding is that they apply a photographic reactive chemical, expose it. From there they apply another chemical process to form an oxidation layer, and then use an acid process to "etch" away material creating channels of positively charged particles. Then they can apply a mask, and throw tiny amounts of metal which will become the gate.
Could Dubinina's specific injury have been caused by taking a sudden excess of snow by mouth?
I also have a cryptocurrency, it's called IdiotCoin. Only a single idiot exists and I own it. It can be divided into 2^64-1 dolts. If you want to buy a dolt from me, the cost is one US cent, however, for every dolt purchased I will double the price of the next dolt.

So you see, the value of dolts will always exponentially increase, provided the US dollar doesn't inflate even faster. This is great because it means that no matter when you purchase a dolt you are guaranteed to see the value double as soon as someone else buys a dolt from me. If you buy a dolt from someone else the price could of course be lower, and they'll be giving you one hell of a deal!
Are we witnessing a veiled announcement of Apple Search where it would be a key driver for Apple One adoption?
Yes, exactly like that.

> We concluded that household use of face masks is associated with low adherence and is ineffective for controlling seasonal respiratory disease.

"Do masks work, if you use the right type of mask and wear it properly?" isn't particularly controversial (the answer is probably "yes") but it's a stupid question because we don't care about optimal use, we care about real world use. And in the real world people might improperly wear a mask and go outside when they're symptomatic.

We don't have much good quality evidence for that, but here's a study that showed people were prepared to do things like wear masks, but were less prepared to self-isolate or book a test if they had symptoms: https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.09.15.20191957v...
In an interview with the Robinhood CEO, the host mentioned that Robinhood is owned by a hedgefund which has a short position in GME. Vlad Tenev did not deny this claim, but I could not find any proof. Is this true?
I believe Eben Upton mentioned in a Twitter thread somewhere that they were getting thousands of chips off each wafer at the current node size? Only had to order like 20 or 40 wafers for the first production run, something like that.

Now if the e-paper display people ever get their act together and get the price down, this could have more potential.
Overly expensive.

No way parts cost anywhere near that.

The most expensive part on that thing is the battery. At an overly generous $200 per kwh (most are now closer to $150 with world leaders at $100) that battery would cost ~$500.

So where is the rest of that $30000 budget going to? The panels? The motors? Shipping? R&D (lol)

I wonder if someone got a contract to produce these things.
Well, in general yes. Had people who had to deploy console apps To non Unicode terminals and ran into massive overhead...
Maybe they did it in bulk? i.e. send all the strings over at once, parse them in a loop, send them back. Seems like that would reduce overhead
60% of RH users owning GME is false (or if they do, it's indirectly through ETF's that they can still sell). This was misreporting and corrected by the original reporter.

I personally prefer to let Apple have it, it's "open source" all right.

If you want Free Software, then feel free to use something more potent than merely an "open source" license the next time you release something.
That really depends on your idea of what makes something a good choice.

Most web apps generally need a lot of libraries to be "a good choice". Pony is lacking in libraries for "web development", so you'd need to do a lot of work that you wouldn't in other languages.

That's the case with most areas with Pony. You'll invest time in developing libraries you wouldn't in many other languages. In return, you get the nice list of "why pony" features, but, you are putting in a decent amount of work to get there.

That said if you release those libraries into the wild and get help maintaining them, the next time someone asks there will be less reason to say "you'll have to do some work".
I mean you can just do the maths, no? They probably had a few hundred million position (maybe larger) with an entry cost under <10$. There may be some puts in there too which will have been a total loss.

The problem is the word inflation vs deflation.

When too much fiat is printed, it decreases its value and is called inflation.

But when assets lose value, it is called deflation.

So, do you call cryptocurrency a fiat currency or a speculative asset? Because falling value will happen, it will be just termed inflation or deflation.

The process of photolithography [1] involves a lot of complex optics, and interestingly you find a lot of lens manufacturers involved in it since it involves a lot of steps where light (e.g. lasers in this case) gets passed through a set of very precise optics until it hits the wafer and etches in the correct pattern from a larger 'reference copy'.

Chargers like a LaCrosse BC-700 can give you an approximate capacity measurement for a battery, you could use that to bin them into rough capacities and color code with stickers.

But if the charge time is changing that drastically, it sounds like more of a maximum current issue. I've been under the impression that NiMH batteries can deliver higher current than alkaline, but I've never tried them for something like a camera flash.

EDIT - higher end chargers can measure the internal resistance, which I think is the number you need for issues with limited power draw. With a BC-700 you can apparently approximate this by using its discharge mode and seeing how a battery's voltage changes when you're drawing power from it. Discussion here: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?338786-Qu...

Or a BC-1000 will do it for you.
Well, at the end of the day, this is not more stupid than Bitcoin.
1. I've never met anyone in the last year who thought Covid had a 100% death rate. Do you know anyone who believes this?

> In fact, the statistics show the exact opposite: here in the UK, for example, only around 400 people under the age of 70 (I think!) that have no underlying symptoms, have actually died from COVID.

Over 10,000 people under age 70 have died from covid, why does it matter if they have underlying symptoms?
