They could clearly target say “river rafters” but it’s less clear if such a group going to cost effectively bring in new customers. The risk is if you target people that are looking into river rafting your simply poaching current or future customers who would know about you either way.

That’s the thing, it’s very easy to advertise to existing customers, worse your competitors are likely to bid up any easy associations. So, the most common case ends up in failure. Perhaps you didn’t something that works you can double down on, but that’s in practice extremely rare these days. Far more common is to realize after the fact you just spent a lot of money on a negative return.
I have houses in Milwaukee and Tucson and go back and forth between the two. There's enough remote jobs out there now that I feel comfortable going back and forth between the 2 cities. There are times when I wish I could build camaraderie with teammates by being in the office together, but for the most part I feel pretty comfortable being remote. We do audio calls at least once a day so it's nice to have that sort of communication. If it were only IM I think that would be too difficult to do.
Judges get appointed, not elected; in a similar way, tech companies get appointed to these bizarre overseer positions, and it seems that they do not mind playing judge, jury, and exe.
If you consider that you'll be using numpy and similar libraries, then CPython beats PHP for most important CPU bound stuff.
You seem to be missing the point of conversions, word of mouth, etc. Ads may cost pennies on your company’s user tracking platform, but what about the real cost of acquiring and retaining a customer? Those need good products and good service in a case like this. Buying ads for what seems like pennies can hurt businesses as they keep chasing “engagement” while waiting for revenue and profits. The reach of an online platform may be high compared to a sign, but that alone can’t help a business survive (especially small businesses that need local customers).
Can AI let Justice be done?
from my understanding if you take a different vaccine your body treats it as a virus which it already knows from the first vaccine you took and then attacks the vaccine generating antibodies. So technically it should either work as a booster or if your body has forgotten about the virus (don't know how that works) then act as a first dose.
Very interesting. I'm currently desiging and building a system which has a separate MCU just for timing accurate stuff rather than having the burdon of realtime kernel stuff, but I never considered just dedicating a core. Then I could also use that specifically to handle some IO queues too perhaps, so it could do double duty and not necessarily be wasteful. Thanks... now I need to go figure out why I either didn't consider that - or perhaps I did and discarded it for some reason beyond me right now. Hmm... thought provoking post of the day for me

That's true, but you can also disagree with the decision. It's not iOS where there's no alternative.
Also note that even if the vaccine couldn’t prevent one from getting infected, it could still reduce the severity of the infection (thus saves lives). I’m _guessing_ a less severe infection could potentially reduce the rate of infection as well?
idk. I simply don’t like the fact that people are gambling with my workplace. And I especially don’t like it when shareholders pocket parts of the profit that I made them without bringing anything of value to the company.

I don’t despise hedge funds any more then I despise the stock market as a whole. We don’t need it. In fact I would argue that the existence of the stock market is actively harmful. I would go so far as stating the stock market is partially to blame for the current climate crisis. That is, if it wasn’t for the stock market, perhaps people would have acted sooner and prevented the climate emergency.

But fundamentally the stuck market is an idiotic idea. If we didn’t have stock markets, and someone pitch the idea of the first stock market here on HN, I don’t see how any businesses would subject them self to being bought and sold like that.
Hardware just works, interface is familiar and understandable, it works with high DPI displays reliably, Hyper-V and Docker and WSL/WSL2 make cross-platform development a breeze.

I'm not aware of any compromises I've had to make, whereas MacOS colleagues have to deal with compatibility issues with userland utils, Docker, running *nix VMs, and so on.

And as of a couple months ago, GPU passthrough with WSL2 enables using an Nvidia GPU for ML tasks using Linux binaries.
Convincing in the details.
C FFI.
Sweden for example. Not sure why you'd have a lower bar for the police than for civilians. Police are professionals and should act like it. Arrested civilians are in a stressful situation and should be given leniency.

Or do you really think the current situation in USA where the best advice is "Don't talk to the police ever!" really helps with solving crimes? If people instead trusted that police aren't allowed to lie, and that what they say can't be used against them even if it doesn't add up, they would be much more cooperative with the police and hence help solve crime better.

right on - now take this to some DARPA PMs, convince them of the national security risk inherent in closed hardware that almost always comes from abroad and is for all sorts of military/infrastructure things. if they end up making a program, you'll have a fairly solid if not bureaucratic funding to bootstrap your puri.sm analog.
It's not impossible. You just have to make choices.
Based on the facebook video, it's not as strongly tinting as either ultramarine or cobalt blue, and it's close enough to cobalt blue in hue that I don't see what the point is unless it's less expensive than what is traditionally one of the most expensive pigments on a palette.

Aside from the novelty of the newness, it won't matter for artists unless it's a less expensive alternative, because visually, there's nothing there that you can't get cheaper.
It's sad that your quality of life depends on Google or Facebook services.

I quit Facebook along with most Google services, I feel much happier and more well adjusted than when I was using them. Meeting with family and friends is also much more interesting because I don't have a constant stream detailing their life.

Good luck petitioning the government to act on it... this goes double for US businesses and people who live outside the US.
I almost don't want to answer, I'm wary about the replies telling me how I'm doing it wrong or how I'm unlucky with my hardware (with a hint of "I don't believe you") or with guides about setting up stuff.

I'm a linux guy, I've used linux almost exclusively for the past 10 years, but one of my two laptops recently started running Windows10 + WSL2.

Why I use it:

- WSL2 is usable. Looks like a linux, smells like a linux, and performance is way faster than on my linux laptop (purely because the windows laptop hardware is much more beefy, I'm just saying WSL2 performance isn't a bottleneck)

- Games, obviously, and I'm sure you know that. There's a non-negligible overlap between gamers and developers. VR games on linux is a no-go at the moment.

- Printers. I've never had a linux laptop that just worked regarding scans and printing. Sometimes I works, sometimes (usually) it doesn't.

- My otherwise well-supported thinkpad has a crappy broadcomm wifi+bluetooth chipset. It's just not well supported on linux. I've had to stay in a hotel for 2 weeks covid quarantine, I'm glad I had my windows laptop with me, as linux didn't want to connect to their wifi at all. Bridging wifi from my android phone is another workaround I use

- Regarding bluetooth, it's bad too. Audio works after a decent amount of manual config (finding the right driver online, the one shipped on ubuntu is the wrong one), but with horrible latency (almost 1sec). My bluetooth mouse is now working without issues, besides a bluetooth systemctl restart from time to time.

The bad things about it:

- A couple of random BSOD. I have no idea where to even start to debug them. Only 2-3 in 6 months of usage though.

- Botched upgrades. This was a bad one, when I bought the laptop, the latest upgrade just didn't work, it would brick the laptop. It seems to be a problem with my ryzen cpu, so the only solution was to reinstall and stop all updates until microsoft fixed it

- Upgrades in general, they're shitty, forced, etc... Nothing new here. I use third-party programs to stop the forced upgrades, so at least I have control over that

- Autohotkey is required for basic customization, like shortcuts. I'm very specific about my shortcuts (I need my bazillion emacs keybindings to work the same as in linux), but ahk makes it work for me.

- Some annoying, but non-critical bugs in WSL2. It might get better with time.

- Virtual workspaces are now shipped with windows, but their keybindings suck in a non-fixable way

There you go. I'm still a linux guy, I prefer linux and will probably dual boot an ubuntu+i3 once I buy a bigger SSD, but WSL2 makes dev on windows quite painless. All I need for my work is a terminal, emacs and a browser after all.
Not if the "Hanlon’s Razor" crew gets here first
I mean, I think you're kind of proving my point. Robinhood's entire product is so predatory that they shouldn't have had their users trust in the first place. But that's not really the question here?

The things you mention are things that people should probably understand. The fact that customers en-masse did not understand these things is *definitely Robinhood's fault*.

> the account they funded with cold hard cash was termed a margin account

Until it was actually funded and settled though, it is on margin (after which it's still a margin account, it's just covered, and you can not use margin). This is again something that customers should be educated on. Robinhood could have made the user wait 2-3 days (while waiting for the funds to settle) before they could buy any stock. Robinhood prioritized user engagement. Robinhood could make users wait 2-3 days between selling a stock and buying a new one. Again, Robinhood chose to prioritize user engagement instead.

> due to the broker's lack of financial prudence

Robinhood was not even close to the only broker who was impacted by this, so can we stop pretending that they were?

> may need to manipulate the market to their individual disadvantage

Again, I disagree that Robinhood following the actual policy of the accounts the users were using, in order to be compliant with financial regulations, is "manipulating the market".
It's a mistake to enshrine these companies though. Break out their app store and android division and make them a utility, but don't make google a permanent part of our lives by making them a necessity. I don't want to live in a world where these centralized platforms have a government mandate.

What I want is true competition and laws that make that happen.
When you go to Apple’s App Store, you see ads for apps. If you click on an ad and install the app, Apple gets paid for that conversion, and that will happen whether or not you’ve opted into “cross-app tracking”. If you see an ad for the same app on Facebook, Facebook will not get paid for that conversion unless you’ve opted in. The market for ads for apps is worth billions, and Apple put this “cross-app tracking” block in place, which will help them capture that market. By using their privileged position as platform owner and setting the default choice, they’ve taken over by fiat instead of through competition. Sounds like an antitrust case to me.
> I guarantee you the interests of institutions on the short side of the stock factored in to the decision to raise deposit requirements.

Is there any evidence for this, other than the general feeling of "rich people are powerful, therefore they must have been some meddling by them"? The formula for determining the deposit requirements is publicly documented: https://twitter.com/kralctrebor/status/1354952686165225478, so the judgement call looks pretty straightforward to make.
And Gnutella, too. I still remember hurrying to download it when it came out because I knew that Justin worked at AOL/TimeWarner and it was going to get taken down on Monday as soon as the powers that be realized someone had written a piracy app. Luckily people had mirrored it, and eventually ended up reverse-engineering the protocol.
What people and authorities?

I stopped using these services and told people to contact me via sms or signal. No problems so far.

The people who won't make that extra step aren't worth my time because clearly I'm not worth their time.
Let's not get into the testing data debate here. To say that a country with 0.53 hospital beds per 1000 persons can successfully handle any medical emergency is unrealistic[1]. India is also highly populated, so the sheer number of people without access to healthcare is enormous. Access to testing is non-uniform. Very strangely, only places with relatively better access to healthcare seem to have more cases - Delhi, Bombay, Pune, Bangalore, Chennai, the state of Kerala, etc.

Kind of like how 80 percent of dinosaurs are from the US and Europe - you only find things if you look. Ignorance is bliss.

I don't know why people are terrified of zooming. Frankly, zooming to use a desktop site is better UX than 90% of mobile sites. All you have to do is ensure your text lines aren't too long, which is good practice anyway.

Maybe it's because iOS don't have a one finger zoom gesture like Android? I wonder why Apple never added that one?
> Also, it’s not realistic to expect them to completely retool their entire app and infrastructure in a matter of hours to disallow margin-based trades of only certain securities.

They do have the ability to change the margin requirements for a particular stock, as well as disable “instant deposits”. They don’t let you withdrawal money until it’s cleared so adding the ability to hold the funds in the account until they clear wouldn’t be hard if it’s not already there.
Thank you for the detailed response! I was stung badly by the promise of POSIX on Windows back in the Cygwin era, so it's very possible that I don't fully appreciate just how good/seamless WSL2 is.
This won't work for most people. Lawyers are expensive, and you only get a free one if you are charged with a crime. You won't be provided a lawyer if they want to question you as a witness.
I thought perhaps better curated listings, better communities, blogs, et al could be what could get Windows software to sell better. Especially like productivity and other sort of loved ones that have a consistent market with indie Mac Devs.

But Android I believe has all of the above like Mac and iOS do. Yet as you say, Android lags behind.

I need to check the article. Wouldn’t the sheer number of Android users mean there are enough of them with high disposable income? I’d think there’d be more (outside the US, UK, Canada markets)
I don't think I use the pinky for any letter, only Enter and modifiers. Pinkies are weak.

Issuing shares is a move done to raise money. It would then follow that GameStop would want to get the most money possible for these shares so they would try to sell them for the highest price possible, somewhere around the current going price. I’m not 100% on whether they have to release them all at once but I’m guessing dumping multiple million shares all at once would crash the price which isn’t good for anyone in normal circumstances so it’s probably not done that way. Regardless, there are like 50-60M shares currently shorted — there’s no chance GameStop would issue that many.

I think this is a fair point.

That said I think we're more a corporate oligarchy that is behaving like a feudal system.

Well, it CAN vary quite a lot theoretically, but that’s why there are guidelines on how to measure a cup of flour.
https://www.mashed.com/182198/youve-been-measuring-flour-wro...
Yet, to your point: when I bake (at least when I bake sourdough, which is virtually all I make), I always measure using a scale, and I measure in grams. No reason to go for imprecision when you don’t have to.

But these guidelines for how to measure flour by volume are also important simply for historical reasons: lots of the most respected cookbooks measure by volume, not by weight.
Maybe it was both a toy and the future.
Not the OP you were responding too, but a lot of the threads on immigration will have those types of personal attacks I don't have a specific one but they usually devolves in people against immigration being called sociopaths.
In practice probably every AP server that doesn’t say “we refuse to blacklist anyone” would probably blacklist Twitter anyway, it’s too fucking huge to moderate.

>Latency with these drives is measured in microseconds.

For context and to put numbers around this, the average read latency of the fastest, latest generation PCI 4.0 x4 U.2 enterprise drives is 82-86µs, and the average write latency is 11-16µs.
I do miss working with people. I took a job in LA in February 2020 because I wanted to work in an office with a team. That office shut down the week I got there. I moved back to Texas 3 months later. Now I work for a company mostly based in NYC. Hoping to get to visit soon. But. Covid.
A lot of people already know that you can get apps directly as .apks, but the majority of them have been conditioned by corporate "propaganda" that they'll be almost certainly getting malware that way. The term "sideloading" was invented to ostracise and discourage the practice of acquiring software independently --- which was the norm up until Apple and its walled garden appeared.

But now, perhaps when sufficiently large numbers of people realise that what "malware" means to the big corporations is different from what it means to users, we'll have another mini-revolution back to the independent sharing and community trust model that the industry tried to eliminate because it would subvert their control.

I don't want to get too political here, but after seeing the outcome of the US election, and the events from then until now, I knew that stuff like this was going to happen.
>It's sad that your quality of life depends on Google or Facebook services.

Offhand the parent post would require me to give up Google Search (including via DDG), Gmail, Google Cloud, AWS, Amazon, Zappos, Audible, Comixology and Woot Shirts. I barely use Facebook or Twitter but the rest would lower my quality of life (and not just due to the large drop in employment opportunities I could take).

AFAIK there's two Chinese vaccines with published data: Sinovac and Sinopharm. Sinovac hasn't had great results but Sinophram has shown initial effectiveness numbers similar to AstraZeneca.
I'm similar but worse, I basically type all the upper row with ring and middle finger only.
One other issue with the mRNA vaccines is that they're brand new technology, never before produced in bulk

Yes, and bulk production is a serious problem. Handling those fragile pieces of RNA, and getting them inside an encapsulation, is a very touchy process. It involves custom microfluidic components made by, apparently, only one company so far.

Remember, this is a minimum viable product. A few year from now, there will probably be regular bulk production of RNA vaccines. But this was all lab scale until recently.

Once the production problem is solved, making new vaccines will be easier. The encapsulation process doesn't much care what it's encapsulating.

BitTorrent was also careful to demonstrate that it had substantial non-infringing uses. That's perhaps a lesson to folks who want to challenge the system: seem as innocuous as possible for as long as possible, until you become the system.

Google did this to very good effect: even when I was there the first time (~2010, over a decade after founding) they still had a sterling reputation in the press, while Netscape got crushed by their arrogance (and Microsoft, relatedly) less than 5 years after founding. Microsoft too, for that matter: through the 80s they were seen as an innocuous software publisher, because the hardware was where the money was, and then in the 90s people realized hardware was a commodity and Microsoft was a monopoly.
