The bigger picture is: Google hired lots of these web standards people.. who then just went nuts in creating so many web standards/apis/complexity. In retrospect I would guess they were probably meeting KPIs.

So, to the plan to dominate the web was there already around 2007-2008 or or so, all while hiring lot and lots of very talented C++ developers (probably like 3k of them working on chrome by now, I haven't kept up the past five years).

Together they built the monopoly/duopoly that is called Chrome. It's built on open standards, but enforced by an ever growing complexity.
Learning to speak a language, without learning to read it
Basically, I've looked at a few apps which allow you to study Asian languages, without actually learning the writing systems.

So you'll have Chinese, but you'll just have the romanization of the words. this is awesome for me because I've always really struggled with language learning, but I hope to eventually visit China.

I'm also looking at Korean a bit as well. How much I wish as a teenager I understood how much easier learning Korean could be compared to either Japanese or Chinese. The writing system doesn't have 4,000 different characters to remember so it might be possible for me to eventually read Korean as well, but for now I'm more focused on learning basic phrases. I figure if I have a need or a desire to eventually learn the Korean reading system I can do that later.

Any thoughts
Regarding the data in question you are completely right but the unusually high numbers reported suggest possible naked short selling or a systematic lack of liquidity for that particular stock.

If what’s going on is naked short selling by those who are not market makers then it’s illegal and those who are doing it need to be prosecuted.

If what’s going on is due to a lack of liquidity then it suggest that price manipulation could be occurring in the form of excessive coordinated short selling.

Finally - why assume a government agency is competent and has the means and resources required to act in a timely manner? The issue was reported though. [0]

By and large, GPUs don't
have this anymore, actually (they used to, but this changed many years ago). On modern GPUs your example is "scalarized" and results in separate instructions for each vector component. Of course execution is still "vectorized", but only in the sense of operating on the data for 16/32/64 threads at once.

The reason for this design is that while vec3 and vec4 are common, they are by no means universal in modern shader code. A micro-architecture built on vec3 or vec4 would be under-utilized in the large amounts of shader code that are scalar in the source language.

There are some exceptions, e.g. native support for 16-bit vec2 comes naturally on architectures with 32-bit registers. But those are exceptions.

This is a bit overwrought. New chat apps rise and fall all the time. The barrier to switching isn't that high.
Instead of learning about short selling from famous long-only investors who don't specialise in short selling and have no particular skills in the area, another idea is to learn about short selling from people who have done it successfully & have built a long career around it.

E.g. consider Jim Chanos & Kynikos Associates. Chanos founded Kynikos in 1985. Kynikos has a short-only fund, a long-short fund and a 190% long/90% short fund (i.e. a +100% net long fund).

This FT alphaville interview with Chanos: https://www.ft.com/content/da70b2f9-3a0b-4258-9996-86dfd6802... contains a few interesting morsels of information -- including some touching on risk management & the risks that short sellers are exposed to in periods of market instability where there is a risk that counterparties might go bankrupt, e.g. during the GFC.

* "I've seen far more stocks go to zero than to infinity"

* "short selling is a portfolio [...] no one position will ever be more than 3 or 4% of the portfolio"

* "if you go into one of our partnerships, as a limited partner, you can only lose what you put in"

* "the short side has a lot of asymmetries: [...] if a position goes for you, it becomes smaller, unlike on the long side"

* "if you gave me $100 and I just had a one stock portfolio on the short side, you wouldn't have to give me any more money and if I shorted Enron $100 and continued to short it on the way down, I could make more than 100%. I'll let you think that through"

I think it was also a timing issue. Paying per SMS was a thing in the US when texting was novel ($0.10/SMS or so, IIRC?) but the US seemed to move to unlimited texting sooner than most places. However, today in the European country I live in it's almost impossible to find plans that don't include unlimited SMS, but it perhaps happened "too late" to take over messaging now that online platforms offer effectively free international messaging and calling as well.
To a degree: pre-internet security relied very heavily on: physical access, physical software (Floppy Disk or CD and bought at a physical store).

With both of those restrictions eliminated with the internet there's two security venues: bugs in Software with remote access without authentication, and code execution access (currently handled via several security access levels).

The later has proven difficult as it's gone from "1" unlimited via physical access to "distrust the user". App stores being the latest version of trust with perhaps Apple iPhone as one of the highest examples and most restrictive (presently in the name of user privacy vs Facebook).

Github is also "1:many" in terms of supported devices supported. Once an app store exists, the number supported platforms is constrained. The door is opened to competitors to host both a repository and an app store for another platform. Omitting the app store the ecosystem remains neutral to which device runs the end result

It is very misleading to draw a link between the Sami people and the prehistoric peoples that first ventured into Northern Scandinavia at the end of the last Ice Age. No such link exists.

The ancestors of Sami people arrived from east around 1500 BCE (not significantly earlier than the ancestors of "non-indigenous" people of the area). The Sami language was developed much later.
There's two very different ways to interpret the "don't worry about scaling" stance and I think that's where things go sideways.

On the one, people take it as literally "don't worry about it, just make it work" and don't think through simple decisions.

On the other, with some basic analysis you can identify where your likely bottlenecks are going to be and make some preparations to dramatically simplify scaling when you need to do it. Sometimes minor architectural decisions, that don't take much time, can lead to a happier long term life.

But I 100% agree with designing for horizontally scaling.

It's one of the reasons I always try to steer people in the direction of Heroku for new projects, because while it reduces your ops burden and makes your life easier...it also forces you to design for horizontal scalability from day 1 via 12 Factor.

You can avoid the borrowing fee and margin call risk by purchasing PUT options. The $320 PUT expiring in 1 year costs $240. I purchased 2 contracts on Wednesday bc I don't see a scenario where the price doesn't crash back down below $60 within a year. Expected ROI of 10-20%. Not a large return, but also a pretty safe bet imo considering their ATH prior to this squeeze was $60, and that was back in 2007.
How do you time the cid tab and the M?

I've gathered that it's best to drop the L and then the M at about T+3 hours.
“Ye” was still a word pronounced “ye”: it’s a second person plural subject pronoun, as in “O Come, All Ye Faithful”, or “Hear ye, hear ye.” (But not “God Rest You Merry, Gentlemen” which is often wrongly written with “ye”.)

The case of Y replacing Þ in “Ye Olde...” is unrelated.
There are long-dated puts that expire 1-3 years from now. In what world would this not calm down before then?
Shake was so reliable and had such good math that I kept using it 5 years after it was discontinued.

There's Gaffer[1], an open source lighting and compositing tool. Built at ImageEngine/Cinesite, but maintained under a BSD license. Not a Shake replacement tho.

I'd say that Blender also has some graph-based compositing capabilities, but it's not the main intended use.

In Adobe's defense, I had the opposite experience. We weren't using a product, and noticed that we'd been billed for 5 months for it.

They offered 3 months free. I asked if they could apply it retroactively since they could see we hadn't used it, and no longer needed it. Bit of a crazy request, but they did it!

WeWork has very predictable scale because its data ingestion needs are tied to expensive investments in physical capital. They don't have to worry about getting slashdotted. Same thing at my company, where data needs are tied to expensive enterprise contracts. In fact, we're considering Kafka for something we do, but it didn't sneak up on us--we knew for years that a particular use case involved a lot of data and wasn't ideal for a relational database.
I imagine OP is talking about how we get to select our partners, not eugenics. And how, generally speaking, the wealthier and better looking a person is the wealthier and better looking their partner and then children will be.

No, the middle man doesn’t pocket some.

The interesting thing about retail order flow is that market makers can offer it tighter spreads (I.e. better prices) because they know on average there is no edge in there (i.e. some huge fund with non-public knowledge).

That’s why they will literally pay to get order flow they know to be vetted as a bunch of retail investors.

It’s like a casino paying for a stream of blackjack customers that excludes card counters. It’s worth money to them and it’s even worth it for the customers because the casino can offer more payout (e.g. 3:2 instead of 6:5) because there is a smaller chance of getting steamrolled.

> I agree. Sorting huge, multinational, publicly traded companies in friends and enemies list is so obviously bogus and immature that it baffles me that this is so prevalent.

If that's true, then why do brands exist?

For most companies, the best way to drive profit is to build a long term relationship of trust with their customers and suppliers.

Edit: this doesn't mean I'm ready to join the Microsoft/Apple/Google/Facebook/Amazon fan club, but I can see that some companies regularly behave better than others, and I'm happy to act on that reputation. Take Oracle, for example.
I used TDA via the ThinkorSwim app and it had no issues on Thursday. If you are at a PC and using the site, I'd suggest getting the TOS desktop app as it seems to be a lot more stable. It is NOT user friendly though so it may take a tad to get used to.
It has not yet been implemented on the desktop, but the Web Share Target API seems to be the solution for the future: https://web.dev/web-share-target/

I absolutely second this btw. Being able to use something like https://snapdrop.net/ from the share menu would finally add AirDrop-like convinience to the web.
Volume is meaningless, as the same share might be traded back and forth several times, e.g HFT or order flow buyers flipping stocks within microseconds.

I've had many social experiences as well. Would you recommend solo with a sitter or completely solo?

I've found during techno shows I did spend a good amount of time dancing with my eyes closed, trying to dig in. But that wasn't at all the focus... so maybe a true solo experience would be better.

Also, did you listen to music solo? Or is that also a distraction.

All indications are that they promoted themselves as "democratizing finance" and being "for the people" (quotes are the exact words used by Robinhood to describe themselves). But as you mentioned, they were still contractually beholden to larger powers, and when push came to shove, they acted entirely within their own self interest. They lied to our face to gain business. Not only that, but they continue to lie to the media (not making it clear that this was a liquidity issue). Sure, in retrospect, it's evident that it was heading this way all along, but just because a fraud is perpetuated out in the open doesn't make it any less of a fraud.

"Pulling margin from long customers — The clearinghouses and broker dealers who finance margin accounts will suddenly pull all long margin availability, citing very transparent reasons for the abrupt change in lending policy. This causes a flood of margin selling, which further drives the stock price down and gets the shorts the cheap long shares that they need to cover. (Click here for more on Pulling Margin)."

The Japanese slang terms for the NES/SNES are "Famicom" and "Sufami" respectively. HAL Laboratories may not have felt that those terms would make for a good protagonist name, especially since the characters are supposed to be American with American sounding names (like Jeff and Paula). But "Ness" is an anagram of SNES and is similar enough to other English names like Jess, Jeff, etc. But it's important to note that in Earthbound, the name Ness is not so much the default name as it is the first of the suggested names if you "Don't Care" what the protagonist's name is. In the Japanese manual in fact, the Ness character's title is "Me" and in parenthesis it says "Nesu" and Jeff, Paula, and Poo are named Friends 1, 2, and 3. [1]

So even though NES might not have been a term known to the general Japanes public, it didn't need to be. Ness is not the intended name of the character, it is only the most common suggested name and hence more like an easter egg.

Yeah but it's not like anyone would exercise out of the money options *nervous laughter*. Though theorethically, with enough options it could cause the same effect as a short squeeze, where the exercise drives up the price to make them in the money.

Higher level languages often use complex data structures at runtime that are a maze of pointers and thus suffer from bad cache locality. Such languages benefit the most from language-specific high-level optimizations. Haskell for example uses strictness analysis to eliminate pointless lazy evaluation, and loop fusion to combine calls to `filter`, `map` and friends, thereby avoiding building up intermediary lists.

A compiler can do very little for dynamic languages. It could try to apply high-level optimizations, but as you say they are few and between, and hard. A Just-in-time compiler that optimizes hot path at runtime is usually the way to go. Unfortunately, they are quite a bit more complex. Most dynamic languages did not have them for a long time.
