The flip side is that if you want to do GPGPU work (even if it's just local testing) you more-or-less need an nVidia card.
I just have given up on Amazon searching for anything because it's filled with utter shit. Between the fake Chinese shit, the mixed product reviews and the "promoted" crap, Amazon's UX is completely broken and has been for years.

I think it's fair to say that Apple expects their users to use a professional repair service (less likely) or buy a new machine (more likely).

The fact that you and I might prefer to replace a drive ourselves isn't really a factor in how they design their systems.

I do not understand this point. Wanting to replace the web is irrelevant to using better and simpler protocols.

> The Zen 3 and M1 chips are unfairly being compared even in recent articles to 10th gen Intel chips when 11th gen is widely available.

If you do the opposite and compare Intel 11th gen to Zen2 the differences are stark:

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i5-1135G7-vs-AMD-...

AMD is ~15% faster on the low-end and ~50% on the high-end. But as far as I can tell the actual comparison is Zen 2 with 10th gen in the same generation of laptops. For the Lenovo T14 for example this is the comparison between the high-end of Intel and the two AMD options:

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/Intel-i7-10610U-vs-AMD-...

It's ~80% faster to ~115% faster. Zen 3 will probably maintain a similar gap when the next generation comes out. The 11th gen Intel processors look fine but particularly at the high-end the 4 vs 8 core difference is huge.

Yes, you fail over to a hot mirror, or if you really have to rebuild because something went nuts, do it from a recent snapshot.
I fully agree, except for the subscriptions. I'd say subscription and in-app purchase are the only ways that building apps can be financially viable. A one-time $1 per user is just too little. But at $10+ you'll be crushed by low cost competition. So I believe it is generally impossible to fund high quality apps with a one time purchase on the app store.

But what's the solution against copycats? I believe we should hold app stores responsible for counterfeit goods, the same way we'd punish Walmart for selling Chinese fakes. But then again, we kind of stopped enforcing that rule, too, as you can see with Amazon.

So effectively, the US has become the wild west for counterfeit products and copyright infringing apps.. Except, of course, if you're the movie industry.
I think the dilution from fractional reserve banking is priced into the buying power of each dollar somehow.

You never look at the value of a dollar as the % of total dollars in circulation. The value of a dollar is rather defined by how many goods/services/other currencies you can get in exchange for it.

With stock it matters a lot more how many % of a company is represented by a single share.

Sure, but in the meantime, they do realize the value of the features they keep requesting.

The sad reality is: not many people are going to leave Spotify because they can't change their user name or filter explicit songs[0]; they're essentially captive. The company instead wants to focus on features that will attract new users. The service will remain as bad as it can possibly be without hemorrhaging users, because from the POV of a growth-oriented company, existing users are worthless and not worth paying attention to.

[0] - Though I'm pretty sure at least marking songs as explicit was a feature years ago, when I used Spotify. A regression?
I upgrade my gaming machine every 3-5 years and it's typically a full rebuild. What I noticed in the last ones is that switching CPU manufacturer is easy, since you switch cpu+motherboard and never expect to be able to upgrade (3 years later you want a new motherboard anyway even if you could theoretically upgrade).

But what creates inertia is my big expensive G-Sync screen which ties me to Nvidia. My monitor is the only expensive piece of hardware that survives between machines. And that's the genius of Nvidia's proprietary sync solution: So long as the cards are anywhere close, I'd of course choose the one that doesn't force me to switch screens. So far it has luckily not been an issue since AMD haven't upset Nvidia nearly in the way they upset intel. So Now I'm running a Ryzen and an RTX in the latest build.
Short selling has both supply and demand effects. So while it 'soaks up investor money' it also creates demand for incremental money through lower prices.The laws right now basically exist to constrain the supply that can be brought on quickly to prevent that getting of line. That's one of the main reasons to ban naked short selling - because it removes the friction to massive and infinite supply increase. It's also super risky because if you don't succeed you end up short a bunch of shares at artificially lower prices. So practically the scenario you are worried about is already addressed in securities regulation.

I would say that short sellers are even more important around primary transactions because then share price matters more. Good prices prevent new investors being left holding the bag and inefficient allocation of capital which could have gone to a different business with better investment opportunities.
Well it certainly hasn't helped.
This entire topic has been poorly addressed. I don’t think I’ve had stronger Gell Mann vibes on HN than I’m having with this story.
It's not really just about following rules, IMHO. For example, in general English people follow rules much better than Chinese.

With Covid, suddenly a bunch of new rules has been pushed onto people and these rules have curtailed individual liberty for the benefit of the whole group. Here, crucially, cultures that are more inclined to understand and accept this have fared much better then those where people people tend to see "their rights" as absolute and non-negotiable.
So business as usual fo Spotify then. I swear, I listen to one German rap song and my entire discover weekly is German rap. I don't even speak German.

If you said "should the police build an omnipresent system of surveillance cameras", people might see the problem. Somehow if a giant megacorp and lots of local concerned citizens are interposed, people lose sight of this.

The two big concerns are (a) use of footage against things that aren't actually crimes and (b) highly selective enforcement.
You can only consider it a “pump-and-dump” if the individuals doing the “pumping” buy in at a low price and “dump” at a high price.

I too doubt this will end well for the people pouring money in at high prices but no one seems to have trouble with the legality of gambling so I don’t see how this is any different.

If Gamestop issues shares at these elevated prices and successfully uses this money to pay down debt and pivot it could end up a good long term investment.

I think the bigger question is “Is allowing market participants the ability to drive down the price of a share using leverage or no capital at all a good thing for the stock market and economy as a whole?”
I don't know how this is implemented or monitored, but what would stop a police person from requesting data from his/hers ex neighbor? Or daughters boyfriend neighbor.

The neighbor just sees "police requested footage" and says yes.

I would rather see some data on how helpful this is before it get's implemented. AFAIK video surveillance is often not as helpful as people think it is. Thanks to shows like CIS. I could be wrong.

Ah yes, they are aggregate indeed. The sentence just before the one you quoted also says:

> Fails to deliver on a given day are a cumulative number of all fails outstanding until that day, plus new fails that occur that day, less fails that settle that day.

So the last day we have data for is December 31, 2020:

SETTLEMENT DATE,CUSIP,SYMBOL,QUANTITY (FAILS),DESCRIPTION,PRICE
20201231,36467W109,GME,228358,GAMESTOP CORP (HLDG CO) CL A,19.26

As I understand it that means there were only 228358 shares failed to deliver at that point in time. This needs more analysis to understand how irregular it is compared to the other 12,000 symbols that had shares fail to deliver in December...
The 'naked' in the 'naked shorting' means you haven't borrowed the share before selling it, but you will in the future.

Gemini does support a `lang` parameter to its mime types, which can be used to indicate a document is in a mixture of languages. That could be enough of a hint for a client to tune its pronunciation.

I do agree though that this is a far bigger problem space than HTML's `lang` attribute is capable of solving. It's not like knowing the language of the text always tells you the unique pronunciation of a string of characters.

You give stock borrow consent when you sign up for a brokerage account. It’s also trivial to turn off, though there isn’t an informed reason for non-activist investors to do this. Some brokers share stock loan income with the account holder, though most keep it from retail accounts.

My first thought was what accountability or required liability will there be? Laws are nowhere near caught up to be relevant or significant for the times, and so the answer is there will be no accountability, liability, understanding or responsibility for the impact of their algorithmic decisions; we know the experiment Facebook did with showing more negative or depressive posts had on people, yet nothing happened to them for this.

>And the diminishing returns from jumping from a "budget" watch of 3-500$ to a "nice" one of 2-3000$ are ridiculously small.

When it comes to keeping time, potentially underwater, etc, there are no extra returns, diminishing or not, functionality-wise to going from a $300 to a $3000. A $80 G-Force will do all of that and better.

Now, if we include "sociatal value" (seen as rich, sophisticated) there are also not much returns from going above $300. At that level people wont know what you wear and wont care.

If you want to make an impression to those who do know, and can tell, you'll need to go above $10000. And if you have that kind of money, you probably don't need to make an impression.

Friction is the difference. Naked shorting removes the need to locate borrow. That need acts to prevent runaway supply expansion. Naked short selling also circumvents the rights of share owners as a class to decide whether to allow synthetic share creation.

13F filings don't include short positions. Given how shorted GME is, I don't think it's surprising that the total long positions exceeds the number of shares outstanding.

To add to the confusion we're still within the 45-day filing window for the end of the last quarter, so some investors may not have filed yet either.
My (basic) understanding of naked shorting is that you are agreeing to sell a share at some future date, but you don't yet own the share.

Who does this actually benefit?
Quartz watches are much better at telling time. Some of them can tell time using GPS with atomic precision. Quartz watches don't require regular servicing, and are accurate to ±5 seconds per year for the better models. If telling time is what you want, you won't buy a mechanical watch, the same way you won't buy a wood-burning stove for cooking. Smart watches like Apple watch can also do many other things. Buying a mechanical watch is utterly irrational, if you subtract the status, scarcity, and design components.

I really think you should chalk a lot of it up to media sensationalism. The Soviet Union collapsed around the time you were born, and that was a massive reduction in authoritarianism across the globe. By nearly all measures, things are better for everyone: poverty, child mortality, easily curable disease, access to education, to clean water, are all dramatically better since then.

Media sensationalism and bubbles are driven by several cooperating incentives: consolidation of traditional media ownership into fewer and fewer corporations all which have similar goals; more competition from non traditional outlets; suspension of traditional journalistic principles; cozy relationships among journalists, politicians and academics that tend to a very narrow Overton Window; a climate of fear regarding cancel culture.

Fortunately, alternative perspectives are easier to find than ever before.
