The Jobs quote on page 2. All iOS devices and all M1 macs maintain a persistent serial-number-linked connection to Apple at all times, even if you don't use iCloud, don't have an Apple ID, don't use FaceTime/iMessage, don't use the App Store, and have analytics turned off. No indication that this is happening is displayed, and there's no way to turn it off.

Your client IP discloses the city the device is in, and the ISP. This means that Apple has a city-level, ISP-level location tracklog of every iOS device and all M1 macs (and possibly intel macs too) by serial number.

You're not asked, you're not even told. This is the exact opposite of their headline founder quote on the first non-title page of the doc.
I agree with a lot of what you just said, I think Marx was correct about the idea that capitalism requires the growth. I would state his thesis as follows: If you reward continued production of goods (which requires investment) with property, eventually you will run out of property to give away.

I believe in the 20th century, this conundrum was resolved in enormous growth of what we consider to be property assets. We have not only reached the limit of exploitation of natural resources on the planet, but also added intelectual property, military-industrial complexes, various financial instruments, healthcare, and as of late, we have monetized human attention and behavioral data. On top of that, we monetized human servitude, now lot of well-off people are in debt (at least with mortgages and student loans).

It’s common for hedge funds (and more importantly, the people who run them) to be prohibited from doing business. “Barred from the securities industry” is the term typically used if you’re looking for examples.
The way Apple paints this is that it's them vs. evil Facebook. Don't get me wrong, Facebook has certainly overstepped several times in their data mining practices, but a lot of these changes will almost exclusively hurt small and medium sized businesses that have been able to inexpensively reach target customers for niche and/or local products.
I find the the unnecessary use of "uncensored" to be offending.

Apple could take measures against FB. How about deplatforming them?

How about NOT allowing them to include trackers in Safari or apps, bankrupting their revenue stream?

Genocide for dollars, the way it's always worked. Apple is being disingenuous here.
It seems reasonable to me that data collection enables more cost-effective targeting for small businesses. At the same time, it's done involuntarily and has privacy and self-censorship implications. It's likely that reducing user-identified data collection will both be a win for privacy, but also a detriment to the long tail. Of course, when Facebook makes this argument, it seems false, given their long neglect and, indeed, antipathy toward privacy. It also seems false because it uses small businesses to cover for large ones (who probably need less targeting anyway, given their mass-market products.) Tide won't suffer but artisan knitting needles might.
Please check the App Store before you make obviously false and easily refutable assertions.

As a member of the pony core team, I'm not comfortable saying Pony is safer than Rust. The approach of the two is different; each with their own trade-offs.

Given how easy it is to use c-ffi from Pony, it can be hard with existing tooling to feel confident in what your Pony code might do. Once you call out via C-FFI, all safety guarantees are off.

In this way, the c-ffi in Pony is as problematic for reasoning about safety as `unsafe` is in Rust.

Pony allows you to turn off FFI for all packages except for some that you allow but even then, FFI is an end around for the memory safety and capabilities security that the language otherwise provides.

Improving FFI tooling is an ongoing conversation amongst the core team.

Where is Apple doing this? Far as I can tell Apple are just saying that people don’t understand how their data is being used, and that companies should educate, and get informed consent.

It’s Facebook that’s demonising Apple here, not the other way around. Other than in direct responses to attacks by Facebook, where has Apple even used Facebook’s name?

> Mitigating the collateral damage that this sort of situation causes.

The thing is, this isn't 2008. The risk then was that the entire financial industry was in a precarious position because even the ones not holding enough bad mortgages to bankrupt them were still holding some, and the double whammy of that and being exposed to defaults by what people expected to be stable institutional debtors could have had a domino effect.

Right now the financial industry is already flush with stimulus money and interest rates are around zero. You don't get the same domino effect. So big firms that made risky bets can suffer the consequences.

> But two wrongs do not make a right.

Just the opportunity to not bail them out this time could be worth the consequences to act as a deterrent for this kind of careless risk taking.

> Extreme volatility and irrational stock prices ultimately hurt everyone in the market who is trying to invest responsibly.

Explain how this has any significant effect on everyone investing in major index funds. Most of them don't include GameStop at all and for the few that do it generally isn't a major component. And even if it was, they would have then owned the same number of shares before this started and after it ends, so if the price goes from $5 to the moon and then back to $5 again over the course of a short period of time, that effects them how exactly?

I think there's a world of difference between claiming "the left...cheer the censoring of others" and referring to "I, along with a number of other leftwing organizers."

How many people who hold left-wing views have to denounce the censoring of others to invalidate GP's comment? One? Five? In logcal terms, one ought to do it.

Now how many people would it take to invalidate "I, along with a number of other leftwing organizers?" I actually don't think that can be invalidated. It's much more specific than "the left" or "the right."

That's what I meant by an incredibly wide brush.

The article seems thoughtful and goes into quite a bit of detail on why the author claims that "far-left activists" and "far-right activists" are not the same, with examples. One can agree or disagree with the author's conclusions, but they're making a case with evidence, not just slapping a too-wide label out there.
As somebody who protested AGAINST neo-nazis but was constantly put in harm's way because antifa decided their best course of action was open violence against the police (while largely ignoring the actual neo-nazis that were present, curiously enough), and maybe burning some shit, with me in the middle of stone-throwing antifas and police, I welcome antifa going down in flames. To me, who had the displeasure of observing antifa in action again and again, they are immature violent hooligans looking for trouble wherever they can find it and not much else.
I can understand this take, many docs don’t like to ask questions at all.

But there’s a new school type of doc that realizes how vast the medical literature is (20m studies), how quickly it’s changing (20,000 just added on COVID), and has tons of questions.

All medical references were essentially converted to SAAS products from large books- so they’re thousands of pages covering the mainstream topics, and they answer only ~1/2 of questions.

Health systems employ clinical pharmacists to answer the other 1/2 with evidence because it’s insanely high ROI for them to do so (5M/ pharmacist/ year/ hospital). Health systems outsource this to us because we’re more efficient.

Free speech is allowed.

A bunch of imbeciles posting on forums is similar to a bunch of imbeciles on CNBC arguing that price is too high.

A hedge fund with 12 billion dollars shorting 140% of a stock and then using media to drive price to 0 is illegal. Also more then idiotic since they caused the whole problem to begin with. Without their greed there would be no short squeez, gamestop would have been at 50-60 or whatever fair market value instead of suppressed 5-6 dollars a long time ago.

The only illegal thing initially was hedge funds.

They then got punished and went to do other illegal things like wash sales, stopping people from buying, collusion with supposedly neutral market makers.

Whatever happens I hope the people above go broke first, investors that got conned go after their personal belongings for breaking fiduciary and afterwards spend a long time in jail.

>nobody blames the speculators

The hedge funds are the speculators in this case. They're playing a dangerous game where you can short more stock than what actually exists. Why this is allowed? Who the fuck knows.
If 140% of the market cap is sold short, it means the longs own 280% of the market cap - that makes no 'sense' either.

With PyO3, I built the library to parse datetimes 10x faster than `datetime.strptime` in just a few lines of code: https://github.com/gukoff/dtparse

It just calls the Rust's chrono library that does the parsing and wraps the result in a Python object. You can do it for any Rust library, it's very, very easy!

The only slightly complicated part is the distribution. You need to use https://github.com/PyO3/maturin or https://github.com/PyO3/setuptools-rust, and of course, you need to have Rust installed on the wheel-building machine.

Feel free to use this repo as a reference if you want to build a similar thing. The code is commented, and there's a working GitHub action that builds the wheels for all platforms and uploads them to PyPi: https://github.com/gukoff/dtparse/tree/master/.github/workfl...

Because Facebook users are Apple customers. If Apple kicked Facebook off the platform you know as well as I do that the number of people screaming at Apple for doing so would be overwhelming. And that's before the media got involved.

The thing is, Facebook is banning people who incite violence, share proven false narratives, and espouse extreme racism. If that ends up describing the entirety of "the right", then I don't think the problem is with Facebook.

I don't see anyone being banned for championing small government and lower taxes.
Whatever else happens, Robinhood should not survive this.

They clearly violated their customers' trust, so their customers should leave them.

And I will be completely unsurprised if when the dust settles it turns out they acted illegally.

Also, they suck at lying.
what are you talking about? the real fraud and market manipulation was perpetrated by Robinhood and Shitadel when they shut peoples’ ability to buy the stock while still allowing it to be sold. They know this is illegal but they were betting on the fines being less than the losses. They need to be taught a real lesson. Those responsible for this intentional, flagrant violation of the most basic free market principles should go.to.jail.
I'd argue it's impossible to enact any change that would only hurt large businesses and not small/medium sized businesses.

"scheme to manipulate" is the keyword here, patting each other on the back for riding market volatility on a forum about stocks isn't neither novel nor illegal.

it would be quite different if they were to coordinate the sale moment or the sale prices; for the latter, I don't see much coordination beyond memes, for the first SEC might have a point and there's many posts walking a thin line suggesting friday will be the day.

however this is a billion dollar operation which include many players and wide interference by multiple actors ranging from unclear to blatant business relationships; I wouldn't be surprised by anonymous plants joining wsb trying to stir up a movement and coordinate sales/prices to create a solid case where there is just a feeble suspicion; and as a matter of fact there has been quite many fresh accounts (either low karma, no posts in a long time, no posts at all etc) joining in just to propose to hold until a certain price or date is reached.

This is about Facebook, not small businesses. There is little evidence that small businesses will be significantly impacted by this. I'm sure some ad-supported developer firms will be hit, but most small businesses won't notice this.
Yes. This stuff (market manipulation using internet hype) is so easy to do that they need to make an example.

I am very certain that most of retail traders who buy GME at 400 will end up losing money.
I mean do people really believe Robinhood traders are moving billions of dollars of stock a day? Most admit that they aren’t selling and buying at higher and higher levels. That translates to very little cash to buy more. There is absolutely no way that these moves can be attributed to retail traders or short squeezes. The narrative that these are retailers causing every significant move higher and with every move the shorts are losing more and more is actually causing this bubble.
Thanks for this insight, can you expand/give examples about the compelling stories you've been asked to write?

It seems like they've all closed their shorts already, most of them did on like day 2 I believe.

In addition, other hedge funds have been on the winning side of this trade. Some of the orders for GME last few days have been absolutely massive, not coming from retail.
Why do you think "hedge funds" are not? The small ones that were caught in a bad position at the beginning? Sure, they probably didn't.

But most other funds, or trading desks, or market makers, or brokerages (etc) are most likely printing money right now.
Apple Pickup, Express storefronts, and the point of no return
If you can intercept an interstellar object to land something on it you can by definition also just launch the thing to the same trajectory.

Unless your payload is advanced enough to use the mass of the object for something (fuel, radiation shielding, construction materials, etc.) there is not much benefit in landing on an interstellar object if you just want to launch an interstellar probe.

Maybe actually if you wanted to send a really long range message it could help to put it on an interstellar asteroid - much more likely someone would notice a huge mountain flying through their system than a piano sized piece of metal, even if both hold the same message.
That doesn't matter because nobody covers the stock at the same time. The shorts buy back a few stocks, return it, then a bit later buy it back again from someone else who sees the higher price and decides to cash out. Neither of the two owners above knows that that they both technically owned the exact same stock.

Most stocks are head by the broker who combines them all into one listing of total number of stocks owned. This is all electronic, nobody ever worries about the actual stock behind it. When the company sends out a shareholder mailing they just give the company all the addresses, not how many shares anyone has. (I'm not sure how voting is handled!)

Note that there is a loophole above. It is possible to get the physical stocks personally instead of letting your broker handle it. This can force a short squeeze as your broker will be forced to unwind everything far enough to find real shares for you, and if required will force one of the shorts to buy back shares on the market. This has happened a few times in history, but few people have the means or inclination to pull it off (and it isn't what is happening here).
