Not bad. I first used wayland about 4 years ago and immediately switched back to X. It just wasn't ready.

About a year and a half back, I got a new laptop and installed arch/gnome/wayland on it again, and was very pleasantly surprised.

At this point, my only remaining issue is that screen sharing is hit or miss. Pipewire has landed and most electron apps support screen sharing now (including slack, which didn't as recently as 2 months ago). But it's still not perfect. For example - I can share a full desktop screen in zoom or hangouts, but only an application window in slack.

---

Outside of screen sharing? I'll never go back to X. My touchpad feels as good as the touchpad on my work macbook. I'm typing this while using two displays - one at 1080p and one at 4k, and scaling mostly "just works" between them. Applications that depend on x-wayland won't auto adjust when moved between screens, but native wayland apps do - and I'm using native wayland apps everywhere I can at this point (including a chromium-ozone build in AUR: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/master/docs...)

I absolutely love that I can't remember the last time I saw a screen tear. I also haven't touched a HID or Display config file on this machine ever. No more xorg config file headaches.

Overall - if you're setting up a new machine with the intent to use a graphical desktop - I'd suggest starting with Wayland.
I wonder which belief is better for the long term health of Robinhood.

Option 1: The public believes Robinhood is part of the larger finance industry cabal and will screw you over to protect their buddies.

Option 2: The public believes Robinhood is in over its head, it doesn't have the financial backing to do the job they are given, and it can go insolvent at any moment.

Considering the reputation and expectations for the finance industry, it might actually be better if the public believes option 1 even if option 2 is the real story.
Because it is the equivalent of "we literally don't have enough money in the bank to allow you to trade on these". Which will be a very problematic statement for a trade broker. The equivalent of panic if too many people withdraw from a bank.

Few people are actually getting this information. So... its not horrible press for them.

And if they say this. People would sue like MAD. Because it would be "RH didn't have enough money to trade on a thing they allow trading on. Therefore we missed out on potentially 5 million in profits when I was unable to trade ..." and so the lawsuits begin.
I read that GameStop was at one point worth $24B. Do you really think that's a realistic valuation? This bubble was always going to pop, the question was not if but when.

Sure let r/WallStreetBets and Wall Street battle it out. But I don't think that you are accounting for the ordinary people who would read about an amazing way to get rich quick in the news and decide to buy in. That's when the real bubble starts.
money shredder go brrr too?
Not admitting you're running out of cash might be just reflexive.
That's not the only thing.

A few of those who didn't read the README, and get their PRs auto closed, might get upset at the maintainers, and write something a bit angry, making it less pleasant to be a maintainer.

Most brokers did not allow you to short because there were no shorts to borrow for that trade. This is common for stocks in high demand for shorts, especially one that is 140% borrowed. Unless you're a professional trader and have access to the best brokers, you couldn't short GME even if you wanted to (this is common, and why professionals pay big $ to have access to high demand shorts).
How would this work for someone who is a billionaire by means of illiquid assets like stock in the company they founded?
That's still very vague.

They had a chance to educate people, but nah can't do that.
Bingo, this whole fiasco has highlighted it hard (600%+) though.
I'll get a lot of hate for this I know.

My issue is why people think it's not working for them too.

Yes there is corruption and fckery in WS. But make no mistake. Those Fckers are also making sure our companies have capital, ensure activity etc.

The trickle down BS doesnt come from govmnt or taxes, it comes from WS. Not NEARLY a percentage of what is deserved, but it does.

The change needs to happen at the bottom, minimum wage, basic living standards, quality of life etc.

then Reddit wouldn't pay attention to assholes on WS who we bailed out.
Absolutely would, he could not concieve of a spying machine as powerfull and pervasive as we have today
Oh come on, there is no definition of middle class anywhere that includes someone with $29M in liquid assets.
Sure. Make sense. There is some precedent for determining damages, and that RH are optimizing for it.

How is this not also market manipulation? Lots/most of the trades on target stocks are trading via RH. RH is restricting the access of buyers, but not sellers. How could this decision not affect/suppress prices.

I will not pretend to guess at potential liabilities of one choice or the other, but the one they made does seem to corrupt the market most.

I guess it's cliche to ask this about a financial scandal but... how is this legal? Can a broker really decide that people can either hold or sell, but not buy a stock?
It seems to me these are not really genuine app reviews.

If I look at the reviews for a Smart TV companion app I want to see review of the app, not complaints about the picture quality on the TV.
It's easier to spot bugs in tests.
In what place can you have 15 million and be middle class?
I remember seeing that in some browser, but was it Opera? I remember having 100 tabs and miniscule tab titles in Opera, but can't recall that option. I still use 12.18 on occasion, and fired up 11.52 but can't find any such option in its tab settings.

It looks like Firefox and Tab Mix Plus offered it back in the day; I'm thinking that might be where I remember it from.
I have Merrill Edge and for whatever reason they blocked buying GME shares...
> a New York Times article on how difficult it is to cancel your Amazon Prime subscription without any mention of how difficult the New York Times makes it so cancel a subscription to their own service

Well, not only that, but things have gotten so bad that Amazon Prime is really not the best example. I actually just went through this process: I accepted a 30 day Amazon Prime free trial just before Christmas because I was going to be doing a lot of ordering. Of course I forgot to cancel it until a few days after the trial was up. So I went to go cancel it and try to get any money they had charged me back.

And... it wasn't really that bad? From the main page, you click one link to manage your account / Prime subscription. Another one link takes you to cancel the subscription. There are like three or so pages that explain the benefits you'll be losing and allow you to back out, or choose options like "cancel my subscription at the end of the month", or "cancel it now and refund the money". I wouldn't describe any of this as dark-patterns because even if it's manipulative it was at least very clear how to do what I wanted to do.

That the other thing, too. I was able to get $14 of the $15 monthly fee back when canceling - they didn't try to pull any bullshit with that.

A couple of qualifiers: (a) yes, it could (and should) be better, and (b) I'm a California resident, so it's possible they presented a different flow to me than to most other people.
If you come from a family that is anything less than "well off", there is a strong instinct for security. When you know how bad the alternative is, you play it conservative and plan for the future. If your choices are a job at Microsoft where you'll start at a level of compensation that's quite possibly higher than any ever earned by any of your family at any point in their careers and likely climb to senior or principal where you'll make more money in a year than most members of your family will ever have as a net worth or to throw away that essentially guaranteed income for the chance that you could do something else? You take the sure thing.
MIT OpenCourseWare is great, you can read course materials and syllabi (syllabuses?) which tell you what books the course uses.
That was their second post of the day. Their first post [1] made no mention of liquidity or clearinghouse deposit requirements, but rather framed the decision entirely in terms of "helping" customers deal with volatility.

That post was at best misleading.

It's not comparable. RH stopped people turning cash into GME, worst case is they've missed out on a pump and dump but their wealth is still in tact. If they stopped people turning GME into cash, then (1) this does nothing to help the former party, (2) you're forcing these customers to possibly lose all their wealth when the GME price starts going down and you've blocked them from closing their position.
Robinhood has defaulted new users to "Robinhood Instant" for years now

So the "default" RH experience is heavily based on margin but *not! in a transparent way. Deposits from banks are instant under a certain amount (10k for me but it varies) and no T+2
You don't own the share you lend as in it's no longer your property, but you own a new contract claim against the brokerage house whom you lent to. As with any loan, this is newly created financial property. It acts and is priced like the original share, plus additional compensation for the risk (payment for share lending).

It's not the same as company issuing a new share since there is no voting right and there is no SIPC insurance. But in all other ways, financially, it's as if the brokerage created a new share. Real share owners can lend again, so one real share can leverage into any number of outstanding synthetic shares. The only thing holding leverage in line is the margin requirement, and how many people who lent real shares want their loans back.
Someone should have pointed out that they were wrongly assuming people could eat paper.
They probably should have let it proceed.

I won’t speculate on the legal matter, but it sounds like a good witch hunt!

Really, a few rich targets may likely suffer (...or not, when it is so likely deserved).

I’m concerned that many Elanors, who’s teachers’ pension fund & retirement plans, were potentially compromised here.

I don’t think pensions belong in hedge funds is the bottom line.

Fitting username :)
Well not really, a lot of people were transferring money into Robinhood but they let you trade before the money is available. I imagine that had a huge impact on their cash crunch. Still weird they weren't straight forward with the reason or why they wouldn't enable trades for cash accounts.
The only reason the Piggly Wiggly guy ended up broke is because they changed the settlement rules out from under him. It was extremely legally questionable.
Makes sense. “You get what you pay for.” “Don’t look the gift horse in the mouth.” “Take it or leave it.” Sure. But the old trope still feels wrong somehow.
That would be positive time value.
"They" also write the rules, so I can't see how anyone is going to be convinced by this.

>Look at Square or Patreon - in both platforms you are truly the customer, and their UX is incredible.

I'm sorry, are we talking about the same Patreon? Because patreon.com has a bunch of seemingly pointless clicks for posting content.

Here's the step-by-step for posting a video from the creator page:

1. Click on Posts in the sidebar. An animation creates a dropdown - this frequently stutters even on a reasonable desktop and creates a small delay.

2. Click on New. This loads a new page where you can select a post type.

3. Click on Video. This loads another new page where I can select Vimeo or Add URL.

4. Click on Add URL. This immediately creates a textbox under the button that I can paste a URL into. I can set a title, tags, additional content and post it.

---

Compare this to uploading a video to Youtube:

1. Click on Create. This immediately opens a dropdown.

2. Click on Upload video. This opens an upload video box that you can click on to open a file upload dialog or you can drag a file onto it. If you're on the Youtube frontpage then there's a page load in this step, but if you're on the Creator Page, then there's no page load.

3. While the file is uploading you can fill in the title etc and even press Publish immediately (while it's still uploading).

I understand that the two cases aren't equivalent, but the experience of posting content feels better on Youtube. I think in terms of UX something like imgur or streamable are great examples.

Edit: I was overly harsh at first. It's just a part of UX that has consistently annoyed me with Patreon. Overall it's decent, but these small things make it feel worse than it is.
Melvin had $55 million worth of put options on GameStop, which are the opposite of calls. Puts assume the share price of a stock will go down and give their owners the option to sell a stock at a certain price. Melvin assumed GameStop’s stock would fall, and bought puts allowing Melvin to sell GameStop’s stocks above the market price, netting Melvin a profit.

So rich people are never lied to by people they trust? I get it, you trust him, but thinking just because he “has a source” saying it doesn’t automatically makes it factually correct. Maybe it is, but appeals to authority and essentially calling anyone who disbelieves crazy doesn’t compute for me.
That blog post was much more vague, and harder to understand than the clear explanation two comments above. I can now see that they're obliquely referencing their collateral requirements, but that wouldn't have been clear to me before reading JumpCrisscross's comment. I think g9yuayon's point stands.
Yes, you’d greatly prefer to understand why.
> contributing a significant amount back to society

You misspelled “the oligarchs who run the government” as “society”
Completely unmoderated reviews would be awful, which suggests moderation is necessary. Moderation requires judgment, and different people have different ideas about what good judgment looks like. Your question made me think about what a "real review" is. Should the person have used the app for more than a certain period of time? Do they need to have taken certain actions (make an account?) Different folks will draw lines in different places because reviews are just opinions, and there are no real credentials for having an opinion. I don't see a way to resolve this with a centralized model.

Federated/distributed systems where the network is itself the filter seem more promising to me, even though they tend to come at the expense of usability.
There is a conference in Germany every year called medica. If you are interested in medical devices, I highly recommend going there and checking it out. It's an absolutely MASSIVE grounds with THOUSANDS of vendors showing everything from MRI machines to boroscopes, ambulance equipment...anything related to the medical field.

Something which absolutely surprised me when I was there a few years ago was the amount of IoT health devices available in other markets outside of the US.

There were blood pressure braclets, tons of smart watches that measure health data, connected scales, connected...everything, and TONS of platforms wanted to warehouse this data. My coworker and I were there looking for exactly those sorts of things, and it was great to see so much.

It was actually a bit depressing to see how much stuff is available, just not available in the US. The connected health revolution is definitely coming. Something I was a bit frustrated about this year is how much of this would have been helpful as a covid19 early warning system. Imagine monitoring population-level SPO2 levels, temperature, and activity level.
This isn't surprising. Risk and rates are related and there's been an increase in stability and decrease in risk throughout the centuries.

As far as a stable society goes, low interest rates are a good sign

Even amidst this terrible pandemic, no country has collapsed, nobody has gone to war, currencies haven't been debased, all protests have more or less been handled, nothing is truly out of control. Mass death and failure, yes, but the banks are still open, the lights are still on, the trash is still going out, your mail is still arriving... Things are more or less still operational
Does that really happen that often? Best practice is you only add more tests and don't touch existing tests unless absolutely necessary.

Is it just me, or does the City of Miami's intro page for this come across as the classic "solution looking for a problem"?

As per: The Bitcoin network has run continuously and without incident since its launch on January 3, 2009. The network currently secures over $600 billion in value and its native cryptocurrency (bitcoin with a lowercase "b" or "BTC") is seen by many experts as the next great store of value and akin to a digital gold.

The City of Miami is actively exploring how we can best utilize Bitcoin and related technologies and are committed to supporting and attracting businesses and entrepreneurs innovating in the space.
You can draw that line of reasoning all the way back to the dawn of agriculture.

AIUI, it requires mingw, which is definitely not the norm for most Windows developers, and which most Windows developers would not consider "native".
I'm an OpenBSD user and Bluetooth Audio is a non-problem. Creative makes little USB Audio devices that OpenBSD treats as a HID soundcard and Creative handles the Bluetooth itself.

This is not an accurate speculation.

I'm curious what area of Vivaldi is perceived as slow. I use Vivaldi at home (on a 9-year-old desktop), and Firefox at work, and the only things that come to mind are tab opening/closing could be better, and some very CSS-heavy animations such as the NYT's map of coronavirus's spread from Wuhan are much better on Gecko than Blink. But day to day, I have no complaints about performance from either.

Then again, I also use uBlock Origin... perhaps Vivaldi is slow without it. I'll also admit that theoretically I'd expect Vivaldi's UI to be slower due to being based on web technologies instead of native, but I can't say I can perceive a difference except in edge cases.
Nothing like big technology companies deciding whose voice should be heard..
This is a stupid question, but if buying is prevented, who are the sellers selling to?
Right on. Without etiology you have no mechanism and thus no hypothesis. This leaves unsolved the ambiguity between correlation and causation.

I don't think hoteling is intrinsically bad, just when it is paired with the sort of space constraints the original poster described.

You are talking from the perspective of Rust. And you are right that in Rust, it cannot/should not be the same!

However, if you forget about Rust specifics, then things look different. E.g. by simply having the constraint of complete immutability, there is no reason to differ between an object identity and its deep content anymore - it will just be always the same. Of course that means no mutation and hence reduced performance for certain things, which is why Rust doesn't do it.
Well indeed, that's why I said it's harder to detect :)

More worrying, what does it mean for science if we can't distinguish between a self-serving cabal and genuine good intentions?
Let X be the number of angry people who were affected by Robinhood's decision and let Y be the number of negative reviews left today, do you really think Y is greater than X here? If an app does a bad thing, it gets negative reviews. If an app does a really really bad thing, it gets a lot of negative reviews. What's so weird about that? Where is the "mob"?
Yeah, you're right. I think this article lacks specifics, but they did mention capital requirements. I was referring to their previous blog entry: https://blog.robinhood.com/news/2021/1/28/keeping-customers-.... In addition, their founder @VLAD on Twitter cited misinformation as a reason.

As for conspiracy, I'd venture to guess that inconsistencies/hypocrisies and opacity turned people into cynics. I'm not saying RH is hypocritical, by the way. Instead, the hypocrisies of other platforms made people trust RH less. For instance, I saw numerous accusations that RH was helping wall street by limiting buying but not selling.
Just Angular 10 and associated libraries. The app itself is a run-of-the-mill "tables, details and forms" SPA, but there are indeed a lot of screens.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but that was at the end of the trading day, when people already made it clear their original BS blog post wasn't convincing anyone. IMO Robinhood is clearly in the wrong. It may not be as malignant as the Citadel collusion theory, but they did in fact treat their own customers like idiots. And it backfired.
