Thanks. I was wondering which license actually satisfies "Don't care" philosophy and gets me out of any legal responsibility/liability.
I think it would do that, if in the inner scope, you only need a part of something from the outer scope. Lets say you have a list of things and they have the name according to what they are, lets use "things" as a placeholder. Then in the inner scope, you are still working with "things", just not all of the outer scope, but for reading the code of the inner scope, it does not matter. You are still working with "things".
OK, this is quite abstract. I am thinking about it in something like nested named lets, where you make a functional update to something, that comes from the outer named let, inside the inner named let and then use it as an argument to a procedure call. Situations like that. And perhaps only, when it is difficult to name this subset of things anything else than the original name. If there is easily available another fitting name, then I would always go for that.

It does make renaming things harder though.
For cash accounts, the broker already has settled cash when the trade is made, and can immediately post that cash to the clearinghouse.
I believe the AZ contract with the EU provides the vaccines "at cost".
I absolutely would prefer that and I don't even own GME. Anything else is blatant market manipulation, whether or not it's intended.

IMO, it should be illegal to facilitate only selling or only buying. Brokers should be forced to offer both or neither.
This is actual intersting debate. When the exchange itself halts, they (necessarily, mathematically) halt buts and sells. But there's no correct answer possible for just one brokerage.

So now we go meta and ask "should it be legal to be a brokerage without a much larger cash cushion than current rules? Or should clients be warned about the possibility of freezes like this? Or should buyers take responsibility and not put their money in discount low-quality brokerages if they want to day-trade run hedge-fund style manipulation plays?

All in all, if you hate sleazy hedge funds, you should have any sympathy for day traders and squeezers either, as as they intentionally are playing the same no-holds-barred game, not doing investing as the market system intends.

If you want to hold Melvin accountable by law for alleged misdeeds, it's silly to say the law should require brokers to aid in market manipulation activities against their own solvency interests, instead of the law should require (and enforce) that Melvin do whatever they are doing wrong.

I think all these margin discussions are a red herring. The clearinghouse requirements are based on the total number of shares sold, not the total sold on margin. As I understand it, clearing is mutual insurance against a disaster at the brokerage, not against customers randomly defaulting.

DTCC raised collateral requirements for GME from 2% to 100%.
Last year I was working in Midtown, Manhattan. It was a normal day just like any other, except when I arrived at my desk there were tens of shocked colleagues looking down to the street below. It transpired that a piece of the facade on the old, brick walled building opposite had somehow dislodged, fell, and ended someone's life who was walking by. Her body remained there during the day because it was too dangerous to remove it. For obvious reasons, this was traumatic.

My instinct tells me NYC will not suffer from the mass abandonment that the article refers to, but it needs a tremendous investment to avoid further rot. Modern skyscrapers are a bandaid over the scores of ill fated and fragile buildings and infrastructure NYC is home to.

When I get explanations like “you can’t buy or sell for your own good” on a funded account without leverage, at a time where the odds of money were sky high, it does seem fishy. People on WSB have been YOLOing entire accounts to zero for months, where was the concern when people were losing money? Why the concern when they are actually making money?

Also, if there is a good regulatory explanation, why not just give that, instead of thin statements like “we’re blocking these trades for your own good.” I’m open to reasonable explanations with evidence.

I RTFA and it absolutely does not do this or even imply it. "Urban collapse" is right there in the title, so it'd be odd if the article talked about rural collapse.

Excellent.

I'm testing this right now and am noticing that some more info about the installation could be helpful. Specifically, when installing rnnoise as shown in the readme it of course goes to /usr/local/lib, but /usr/local/lib/pkgconfig was not in the PKG_CONFIG_PATH of my distro. Maybe there could be a hint to set that when calling `meson build` if rnnoise can't be found?

There wouldn't be much to write about. Hedge Funds are not required to disclose their short positions in the US, so no one really knew how many shorts they had and of what kind, and no one knows if they did indeed close them.

Reddit was speculating based on the lack of a reduction in short interest. However, it's hard to determine because a) you don't know how many shorts Melvin had b) you don't know how many new short positions were created that day

In general it means "this applies to derivative works." At best, it might provide an argument that APIs aren't covered (now that that's a thing). But copyright law doesn't really recognize "substantial portion" as a term of art (though it's arguably related to one of the prongs of a Fair Use inquiry). IANYL but my personal practice is and would be to ignore the word "substantial."
The idea is that people issuing tokens (e.g. AWS, Mailchimp etc) in my example would follow this.

This would then allow other tools (e.g. git, GitHub, pre commit linters, frameworks) to flag this as a problem, either with a warning or an error, depending on the tool.

The idea is that then the novice/rushing expert is prevented from this easy to make mistake.

I was just saying that a short squeeze is a known risk for short positions. As a small-scale investor, I also knew that Covid and stay-at-home means that a lot more small time investors will be involved in 2020-21, skewing market valuations in crazy ways. GME was only one manic instance. Why was such an issue raised over this particular incident? Why call for regulation, and squeezing Robinhood to freeze buys?

I am not advocating the buying spree, since a lot of small-time investors will get hurt if and when the price comes down. The SEC should issue advisories. But Hedge Funds shedding tears is hardly justifiable.

I don't know specifically which trial it was, but you can google for esketamine trials because that's their brand name for s-ketamine.
Giving people who don’t understand margin a margin account is the easiest way to have them blow themselves up financially. Most people think that this leverage is free, it’s not, and it multiplies your risk. If you are wrong you’ll be twice as wrong. If Robinhood should be criticized for anything it should be this.

There’s a reason people have to usually apply for a margin account separately. Automatically handing them out is a recipe for disaster.

I’m all for empowering folks to do what they want with their money but it should be pared with some sort of education.

That depends on if the author has manually integrated Mapbox (via issuing their own HTTP requests) or just used their SDK in which case the SDK may do whatever the sandbox allows.

And has been mentioned a few times in the thread - even if one app author goes out of their way to reimplement the API in a privacy-preserving way, all it takes is one that doesn't to reasonably link all the other requests based on other data points. (IP would be more than sufficient - but since it's a location service, even if all the apps run the requests through a proxy, location-at-time and location/destination pairs are also useful to help link.)

In the end I don't think there's anything privacy-conscious app developers can do other than eschew external services as much as possible, clearly inform users when external services are used, and push for stronger regulation (from phone / OS manufacturers and the government) about data privacy.

How to optimize a windows 10 install?
I was recently thinking about upgrading my workstation (xeon E5-1680v3, 32GB of RAM, 970 Evo), as it started to be somewhat slow under Windows 10. I'm happy with its performance under Linux, so before upgrading, I'd like to try and optimize its performance - maybe it's a configuration issue, rather than slow hardware.
I searched online for how to do that, but the advice I found is strange (e.g. microsoft says to use a USB drive for ready boost). I think i only start what I need to - Adobe creative suite and a bunch of drivers are all that's listed in Startup Items. Yet when I run userbenchark, it tells me my hardware is way below median for my particular HW, e.g. my SSD is 8 percentile, so something seems very off (I have about 150GB/2TB free and dual boot from the same drive)

How can I find the cause for the slower performance? Any tools or guides I can use?

That’s exactly my problem with it. Why leave sell as an option then? Sure; if you can’t buy more because you legally can’t, that’s fine. But leaving the sell option on felt planned. I would assume in a situation like this it would be most responsible to simply disable trading on it entirely until it was back to manageable. At least then they would have plausible deniability.
Generally they are, but they don't scale well. For example, with an FFT you could decode every radio station simultaneously with the same receiver and only log more compute. So if you only want a single high SNR narrowband channel (even tunable) it's easier to do in analog, but if you want all 100 possible channels with stereo and/or some digital processing to add features or reduce noise... it's much better to do digitally. However, doing it with an FPGA/DSP would probably be significantly more efficient than a general purpose CPU.

Here's a question:

Why do we even need app stores? Why can't we all get comfortable downloading from the Web on mobile like we are on the desktop?

The only benefit to them I see is discoverability, so instead of building "stores" why don't we build collections of applications from around the Web and display them in an app store-like interface. Developers can submit applications, they will show up in our "store" making them searchable and discoverable by users, and when users hit download it will take them to the developers Website to download and install an apk or whatever.

Robinhood is on the hook to do their part in settling the trade and delivering the shares to their client and cash to the seller.

Obviously once funds are used to execute a trade, they are no longer client funds. It seems obvious that the cash at that moment would be held separately as the shares settle. That's discretely identifiable hard cash that is fully funding that specific share purchase.

I completely grok the various ways that cash that "looks like" it's in the account might not be; deposits that haven't actually cleared, prior trades that haven't actually settled.. and in those cases the brokerage is actually extending credit to their client, and that credit can run dry.

But if I have hard cash and a trade executes, that cash is gone from the account. The counterparty risk at that point is the shares not being delivered, which seems to me like it would be collateral that the seller needs to be posting to DTCC (likely DTC already holds the shares). The buyer needs to show they have the hard cash, and they can easily do that.

I guess I can't get around the fact that if the purchase is fully funded with hard cash that's in the account, that is cleared cash that can be sent off to DTCC/NSCC during the end-of-day settlement via FedWire.

Be careful what you wish for! Levine noted Friday that a huge amount of the trading done in GME was institutional. Large firms can probably handle whatever collateral requirements there will ever be for a specific symbol. Here you have a bunch of random people pushing a $15 stock up to $400. Volatility makes it impossible for Robinhood to keep transacting in that stock. They shut down buys and sells. But trading on GME continues elsewhere; in fact, most GME trading has been occurring elsewhere. Now: the market crashes (as it inevitably must). You got in at $250, cheered as it beat $320, and now the stock is heading back to double digits...
