Slap, slap, slap. I do not think you did a complete or accurate analysis.

Randomization is NOT free. Randomization either requires that the values are pre-computed before install (which means delivering and pre-computing N different versions) or it is computed it on device.

If the randomization is computed on-device how to you validate that the binary or a library has not been "substituted" - persistent malware, APT?

The "compute on device" was a feature of very old macOS versions - it was annoying and took quite a lot of resources.

"TOTAL ASLR" depends on a CPU arch if it fully endorses over all addresses position independent code and data (Q: homework for ARM, x86_64...). If the ABI allows violations of this you cannot glide / slide all code and data addresses without significant runtime costs. This will likely result in a compromise.
I'm really really curius if those things make a real difference.

I have very mixed feelings between 'i want to have nice little automations like this' and 'i don't need them at all'

Does it help to keep your mind free when you have it like this?

Does it help you because you are not good in those things?

Like take the cleaning thing as an example: i wanted to do a yearly calendar for a while where i finetune my things i have to do over the year which would allow me to fine tune this calendar (which includes eating plan, cleaning plan, personal hygiene plan) vs. i have my life under control anyway.

Lets take an easy example: birthday of my wife, having a calendar entry a few weeks before allows me to do a restaurant reservation. Knowing the holidays its allows me to order a tree in time. Having an calendar entry in summer allows me to organize a winter holiday in time.
I don't think you can say his whole essay is wrong based on that. However you define it, there's going to be zombies that should have died, and there's going to be more of them after the bailouts and easy money than before. Whether one company or another should be in the list is moot, the zombies are hoping for a turn in fortunes and it sometimes happens for them. The problem is keeping them all alive, there's a cost to that. It's been a long time since it last happened, but there have been periods where the opposite happened too, where many firms with apparently good businesses couldn't find finance and had to fold.
Antifa is not real, BLM is peaceful, and the majority of armed protesters are white supremacist and/or Trump supporters.
I watched Lemmino's mini documentary on the subject and can only recommend it [1]. He spent a month going through the Russian original evidence and is surprised why it is still considered an "unresolved mystery".

Some take-aways that I remember:

* They had a self-made, wood-fired oven in the tent, which had already burned one of the hikers a couple of days before (documented in a picture) and could have malfunctioned, leading to the burn marks and them having to abandon the tent (including slashing it open)

* Radioactivity: Both hikers that had traces worked previously in a nuclear facility.

* Missing organs: Exactly what you would expect from scavenging animals.

* Missing clothes: Exactly what is expected when dying from hypothermia.

* Bodily injuries: Suspected avalanche.

* Glowing orange spheres: Possibly space debris, a meteor or nuclear testing. In any case, no immediate connection to the accident.

Are high frequency traders not a thing? Where trades are made according to speed -- and lots of trades. How does this not impact the same system?
Ok, its a good question.

I think outside of specific sanction any resulting regulation should be a comprehensive restriction on payment for order flow, as part of the already ongoing populist trend of valuing data and considering it users property with its own property protections.

This is worrying indeed because the negative reviews are clearly justified.
Why are there so many HN posts about Robinhood right now? I've seen 3-4 posts in the past 24 hours and it seems like every comment thread I read also mentions Robinhood in some respect.

It feels like HN is in the middle of an invasion by people trying to draw attention to it, but there could be a coincidence? Is it just the buzz around this GameStop action?

I just noticed that M4 became available a decade before perl!

I’m getting the opposite feeling. Just last week they released a way to expose all Windows APIs past and present to C# and Rust, with theoretically any language supported on that same framework.

I can’t speak to the Azure API you mentioned but clearly Microsoft sees the value in non-C languages.

What code change would you recommend? Sure, prevent margin buys-- but that's not enough. You'd need to require that the cash from a transfer has actually shown up. Perhaps even crossed some time after that.

And that's enough to make people pretty not-happy.

It sounds like now that they have a bunch of additional cash in hand they're going to allow (with limitations) GameStop buys again.
I kind of admire how it is done, not saying I like it but I respect the player. I really reads like someone reads Nir Eyal's _Hooked_ and executed most of it. Especially the elitism created by invite only, with some kind of 'hacks' for aspiring users like reserving the user name. Then the possibility to be part of a conversation, maybe even with celebrities.

Let's see what kind of platform it becomes, at some point they need to make money and a lot of advertisement will creep in. And then, as the article mentioned, let's see how it works out with hate speech and all the things humans seem to produce whenever they don't fear direct consequences.

As far as I can see, the lock file for dependencies is not in the repository? That seems to be a grave mistake for mission critical software. You can expect it to break at inconvenient moments. The installation instructions are merely `npm install`, so it is not reproducible work. I would not put too much weight in the label "nasa" on this one. Perhaps it is a low priority project for them, and it would not matter much, if it fails to build.

EDIT: The issues seem to confirm this. For example the demo app did not work out of the box. See /issues/3656
This is my situation as well. My employer has >>100,000 full time folks spread all over the planet, and despite having one of the largest office buildings as my home base, for the most part I didn't work with anyone from it.

Hostile pattern, à la hostile architecture. Though note that in the sense of hostile architecture, "hostile pattern" would refer to a superset of dark pattern, that can also refer to patterns that beneficially manipulates the user by making it difficult to do things they don't want to do anyway (e.g. turning Wi-Fi back on in phones some time after a user turns it off due to a poor connection)

Have you looked at wrist blood pressure meters? Mine takes about 30 seconds.

Wrist usually gives a higher reading than upper arm, but if you use both for a while to get a good idea of what is good on the wrist one you should be able to do most of your daily monitoring by wrist, only needing to do arm when wrist is unexpectedly off.

Yes, I agree. Creating more distributed forms of risky activity, doesn't make the activity much less risky. It just introduces new attack vectors. The answer is to not use services that collect data.
Everyone is right, there is a marginal bias so that the natural rate of interest is always positive but when storage costs and risk and fungibility/hedges/insurance are factored in the rate can be positive or negative. Like when the cost of oil was positive recently last year.
I find it hilarious that you’d mention “20 years of experience”. I work on a team at the moment with one of the most dogmatic developers I’ve ever met, and when challenged his rationale for any decision is “20 years of experience”.

He was recently asked to fix a rather simple bug in a C# project, a language he doesn’t use very often, but he was certain this would be an easy task for him. The project used a small amount of unmanaged resources, and he just couldn’t figure out how the ‘using’ keyword worked. He spent a few days trying to get to the bottom of ‘using’ before demanding to be sent on a C# course, which everybody thought was a great idea because it would keep him busy for a while. Maybe he’ll have “21 years of experience” by the time he gets around to fixing this bug.
It only makes it worse for them, as everybody still rates them badly and just highlights both their crookedness.

BlackRock own a large position in basically every US equity. The reason is that their funds generally want to be exposed to the entire market or some large subsets of it. They aren’t stating some opinion about the value of GameStop by owning 10% of it as they own about 10% of the entire stock market.

If you see regularly someone’s name on the front page of the New York Times you might infer something about them. If you see someone’s name in the phonebook that is less interesting as (ok, not actually true but hopefully you get the point) everyone is in the phonebook. BlackRock is the phonebook.
that's what puzzles me. All these founder-owners basically took (literal) truckloads of fresh money printed for "keeping the economy running" and swapped it for shares in their extremely overvalued companies. Doesn't sound a lot better than bankers and crucially doesn't work without bankers?

I believe my analysis is both accurate and complete; actually, I would dispute many of the things you mention. "Baking in" randomization into a binary before installing it is rare; on Apple's platforms ASLR is done at runtime. I am well aware that ASLR does not come for free; it requires position-independent code to function and support from the kernel to do randomization (for image base addresses and anonymous mmaps) and a dynamic linker aware of how to apply relocations. On iOS PIE code has been required for many years, and the various OS subsystems are not only aware of ASLR but ensure validity of code signatures regardless of load address. I suspect the expensive process that you are referring to is shared cache prebinding, which was never a thing on iOS AFAIK and is no longer used on macOS either.

To be clear, I am not complaining about a lack of ASLR where it would be prohibitive, such as 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). I am talking more about various instances where Apple has generally used very poor slides for reasons that aren't all that great, leading to the randomization being easy to break.

In practice, share lending is backed by (over)colateralization ( e.g cash or highly liquid short term debt).
The worst case for you would be to receive cash instead of the he stock itself.though this doesn't give relief to the broker not to fulfill its obligations.

Because they trigger bugs in the underlying engine code written in C and C++.
I don’t understand your criticism of Taibbi or even of this particular point. From the article he links:

Partly due to companies in pre-product, pre-revenue development phases in sectors such as tech and biotech, about a fifth of Russell 3000 companies have had no or negative earnings per share on average over the past 25 years. Currently, that number is 10 percentage points higher, at 30%. To put that in context, the proportion was 29% in the dot-com bust era at the turn of the century and last exceeded 25% during the Great Financial Crisis (GFC).

Seems like he accurately summarized this to me.

How do people take tptacek seriously?
This is a really good reverse engineering exercise but as a cautionary note:

If you are doing this in your real car most of the trim on the dashboard is secured by plastic clips. You need specialized car trim tools (similar to the phone case ones but well bigger) to remove them along the edges without denting the outer plastic edges.

Also most of them are meant to clip-on once. So if you take them apart too many times you might start seeing gaps on the trim and things not properly fitting.

Again it might not be something you care about but just thought I would mention. Ideally you would be better off getting one of these from after-sales or 2nd hand from scrap parts and working on a bench top with a 12V line.

This has been happening every day for a few days before the stop (perhaps a few weeks at a lower rate).

Why don’t you “buy it”?
Short sellers are taking a bet on the share price. Long buyers are taking the other side of that bet.

Neither side is deserving of compassion or concern as long as they are fully informed on the underlying nature of the share of the business they are buying.

Selling a house that you have a mortgage on is selling something that you only partially own.

Short sellers are selling something they borrowed because what they borrowed is fungible (ie one share in GME is equivalent to any other share in GME).

The real question is whether what they borrowed exists and whether the owner of that is doing the right thing by lending it. If owners of shares won't lend, then short sellers can't borrow.

Should a pension fund that owns shares that are expected to increase in value (otherwise why do they own it), lend that share to someone who is actively trying to reduce its value?
I know I added it in a later edit, but did you ignore the part I said about systemic issues deliberately?

Tether is on the same track to become Mt. Gox, times a hundred. They are trying to outsmart the market and inevitably going to fail and wipe out the funds of those that trusted them. They will get rekt'd at some point. That will be good. Not for the people involved, but the overall system.

> This argument you're making is basically Citizen's United. (...) Anyone can talk free of charge but unless you're doing it loud enough, what you have to say doesn't matter because nobody can hear you.

Quite the opposite. My idea is that talk only should be considered when it is not cheap, when it involves a considerable stake from whoever is calling for action/change/bet. It is not free (of cost) and it should not be free (of consequences).

The problem is that the current system even when you get organized with a sizeable group (WSB) who is willing to pay the price and face the consequences, you still get silenced, shut down or rug pulled.
Prior to the pandemic my company was moving to a model where nobody had a fixed desk. You had a backpack and a laptop and plugged is wherever you could find a free place. You were not supposed to stay at the same desk for longer than 3 hours. There was actually a team in each building walking around and enforcing it.

Post-pandemic they have said that is being scrapped since there is too much chance of infecting people from shared work areas. So back to you have a fixed desk. Only, despite adding 2 million more square feet of office space to campus last year, there really isn’t enough room for everyone.

I pity the people who are having to figure this out.

Would the day traders you know be happy using a brokerage who’s liquidity issue mean it’s had to ban trading certain securities? Even if they don’t want to YOLO like a maniac, why would you trust a company that’s had so many very public blunders with your money? It’s not like there aren’t more reputable zero-fee brokerages out there.

This, to me, looks like their stay-out-of-jail card.
The systemic risk is because the intermediaries have to use their liquidity to keep the system moving, not because the short sellers might go bankrupt.

Trading in securities with daily settlement, while movement of money is not operating on the same frequency, means that there is a requirement for someone to take that risk.

That's the systemic risk, not the trading itself. If the execution, settlement, and clearing of a trade were simultaneous and instantaneous, then there's no risk to the market itself.
True, it is still an open question if the government would step in in that case or not. As it stands they have no obligation to do so.
