Playing devil's advocate, it's possible that the lawyer/clearing bank/regulator gave the instruction to cutoff all trading in the name, and cutting off only buys was the lesser of bad options. (Had they also cutoff selling, it would have been even worse!)

Reading the SEC's letter (in the OP), you can clearly see the SEC wants everyone to sell out of their position and make this whole thing go away. RH no doubt has an army of lawyers and compliance people whose entire jobs/careers is to predict what the regulator wants and proactively be their lapdog. (The regulators meanwhile are completely free to be Monday-morning quarterbacks and retroactively assess fines to anyone, despite providing no concrete guidance of what to do in an unprecedented situation like this one.)

DSP is quite good. I think it's worth the ~$20 currently. Definitely a few QOL rough edges and some balance issues still, but certainly playable and haven't seen any critical bugs or crashes.

I think building systems in DSP feels a lot more like Satisfactory, but it's much easier to get a good view of whats going on. Loved Satisfactory but found FPS perspective frustrating frequently.

Isn't the use or non-use of async/await a bit orthogonal to the rest of this?

I'm not an expert in this area, but wouldn't it be just as lightweight to have your async workers pushing onto a queue, and then have your async writer only wake up when the queue is at a certain level to create the batched write? Either way, you won't be paying the OS context switching costs associated with blocking a write thread, which I think is most of what you're trying to get out of here.

It's not hypocritical at all. Keeping vaccine in the borders of the UK gives more vaccine to the UK, and importing vaccine from Europe gives more to the UK.
The authors say the SARS-CoV-2 proteins "denature" (essentially falling apart) at 51C.

Do you recall how hot that "hot" water was?
Gotcha, thank you so much for the advice. Maintainability, especially with something uncommon like a Chrome Extension, must seem really sticky.
If you listen to UK BBC news, they spend half of their airtime saying how the UK government placed the order months before the EU, and that the EU is in the wrong, since they haven't even approved the vaccine yet(as of the last time I listened to the BBC news), so they shouldn't complain and so on.

I am surprised by the polarization and demonization of the EU they are promoting. Was not expecting that from BBC. And then they wonder why British people voted for Brexit.
Of course they are. If you believe a stock is undervalued, you buy it. If I believe the same stock is overvalued, I sell it. That's how price discovery happens. If only people who already hold the stock are allowed to sell it, then price discovery is impeded.
I didn't advocate for "do nothing". Not at all.

I live in the UK and we have the NHS so their job is to look after people when they get sick (and, to a certain extent, use preventative measure like education where appropriate).

But the UK governments largest spend is the NHS. We pay a fortune every year for it. So if they can't do their job then heads should roll among politicians and NHS brass.

My argument is that the death rate does not justify the measures that are being taken: by all means protect the vulnerable (my parents are in that class) but the rest of us have been locked down when the stats absolutely do not justify it.

I haven't even mentioned the economic cataclysm we are facing... that's another story!

Awkwardly it seems Pfizer might shift to supplying the UK from the US and the UK seem content that they have no contractual need to share the AZ doses from the UK facility. So the EU don't seem to have any leverage on this issue.

Some have tried to say this debate is EU vs AZ but this map suggests otherwise.

When it comes to how the authorities will act, is one of the few places that appeals to authority are absolutely reasonable.

What do the regulations and laws actually mean and how are they actually in real life enforced historically? Oh yeah appeal to authority. We're literally talking about the authorities.

Laws and regulations -- and business arrangements and customs -- aren't some kind of objective external thing to be observed scientifically from first principles. That's the whole error. Like if you can show a logical flaw you can prove they are't really so because they must be logical! They are socially constructed and the result of human action, by people with the power to do so, for particular ends. They are continually re-constructed by human action, they are constructed by the powerful.
I mentioned this to my wife (she's a research physician) and her first response was also "isn't that what Up to Date does?"

I am not sure why this is downvoted. The EU is a very large market and if the EU feels like it is badly treated, they have a lot of options to make AstraZeneca's life miserable. Anything from stronger regulation of medicine pricing to relinquishing patents. In fact, the president of the EU, Charles Michel has already hinted at invoking Article 122 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, which could force vaccine-makers to share their patents [1].

I think first it remains to be seen if AstraZeneca did something problematic. But if that is the case, one can be sure there will be political repercussions. Though I think that they are now just using the threat of repercussions to force AstraZeneca to change their policies. If they do so, this will be the first big test for the new relation between the EU and Brittain and AstraZeneca will be in the middle of it.

AstraZeneca's real problem seems to be that they, on the face of it, promised contradictory things to different customers.
> two exclusive contracts?

The EU signed second and, to my knowledge, did not include similar language in their agreement. They are also paying less than the UK and US.
So you are celebrating the ability of one country to screw over others, ignoring contractual obligations and human decency? Good riddance, stay out of the EU for as long as you like...
That sounds like a challenge.
If you read the other threads it's clear what's happening is that robinhood's product isn't designed to cope with high volatility[1]. Is this a flaw in their product? Yes. But then again, they are a discount brokerage for a reason. It's not any different than any other consumer product that shits the bed during 99.9 percentile events.

[1] Specifically, they're required by the DTCC to put up a deposit on every trade their users make. During periods of low volatility this is fine because they can come up with the money, but when volatility goes up so do the deposit requirements, which can cause them to become insolvent. This is further compounded by the fact that their product invisibly hands out margin, eg. "instant" deposits of $1000, or giving you the money before it settles (2 days later).

This was not a secret among her constituency in Georgia. It was a selling point.

The lesson is to recognize that for a significant portion of conservatives, they like what they see. They like the white nationalism, and the conspiracy theories. The truth hurts them and they prefer the lies. The leader of the House Republicans cannot condemn Greene like they once condemned Steve King whose embrace of racism and conspiracies was more nuanced than Greene. Yet McCarthy has spent more time criticizing Cheney than Greene. Trump and McCarthy are explicitly targeting Cheney to be primaried in 2022. They are scared of their own constituents as well as Trump.

The lesson is Republicans will choose this version of conservatism over democracy. The official Republican party platform in 2020 was only "support Trump".

The lesson for Democrats is to stop trying to rehabilitate the Republican party. Let them stand alone doing whatever it is they want to do. And that includes ending the filibuster which provably does not improve compromise and unity, it just gives the minority an opportunity to make the majority look like a clown show and then the majority loses elections. If Democrats want people to understand how precious democracy is, they need to show it works by enacting nationally popular policies.
People in the 16th century were very spiritual and we see on many occasions that superstition can lead to hysteria, unrest, and even violence. Historian John Waller hypothesises that whilst in a distressed psychological state, the people of Strasbourg may have entered a trance. Thereafter, the issue was exacerbated by the superstitious nature of their neighbours and peers.

This reminds me of this incident happened a week ago in India in which educated parents entered trance state and killed their daughters

It sounds more like, "Mining is overrated, 90% of the work in getting useful materials is smelting.", actually.
I disagree. There's nothing childish about "a flash of anger" - most people have many small impulses and feelings.

I'd bet many people might make a small joke about the situation - but the joke depends on precisely that small unhappiness, even if they won't admit it (or can't, because they're not aware of it).

"A flash of anger" (in the author's words) is very different from "fly[ing] off the handle" (in your words). Only the latter is childish.

Being aware of the former sounds like your mature, balanced last sentence, where you still might have a little judgment about what you've been given but you're still responding with grace to the other person.
I think you overestimate the value of random images of mostly empty spaces in people’s homes.

This isn’t a data-grab it’s a sales vector. Make it easy for people to envision their house with your product in it. IKEA’s best marketing is their catalog and showrooms where you can actually see their stuff used in different actually livable rooms and see how they would fit into yours. Same thing but now it’s literally your house.
It's different though surely? UK had an exclusivity agreement with a private company (AZ). EU had their own agreement. There is now a contractual dispute between EU and AZ. In retaliation, EU wants to use export controls to prevent another EU company (Pfizer) honouring its legal civil contract with the UK. This is trade war sort of stuff. EU should go to court with AZ to settle the dispute. The UK isn't a party here.
Very true, good point.
>does it mean that AZ doesn't make profits on the vaccine they sell to the EU?

During the pandemic period, which is defined to expire on 1 July 2021. A stupid contractual provision to include, since it creates monetary incentives to delay delivery.

(Not saying that's why this is happening. But if I were negotiating something like this, I'd include a bonus for early deliveries. It keeps interests aligned, and gives the supplier ammunition with which to add redundancies.)
I think this is also where the size and 'buying power' of the EU actually works against it. The UK has bought something like 5 courses of vaccine for each of its population across numerous suppliers, expecting that a few of them will be damp squibs or arrive/be approved too late or not at all.
I don't really know - but I don't think the EU is actually in a position to do the same given the size of the combined poplulation and the limited political appeal of wealthier countries to subsidise others for vaccines that won't be needed.
Complementary point: It's time for lying to law enforcement to not be a crime.

The nice thing is that this is actually possible to achieve.

Be careful drawing conclusions from what you read on business. There are significant selection biases about what stories you hear. Anecdotally - whenever I have read about a company I work for (F500), the outside perspective gets a lot of very basic facts wrong. Often they take small incidences and turn them into broad generalizations. Sometimes their sources have agendas. Etc.

This is one case where it's important to tag information that comes in. The spectrum extremes, IMO, range from "did I observe this fact" to "is this someone else's conclusion". The more from the latter you have, the less faith you should put in your own conclusions drawn from it.
Wallstreetbets has over 963,000 people online right now and just gained over 4 million followers since monday, over a million a day. Cable news is talking about GME and the White House press secretary was asked about it. I think you grossly underestimate how mainstream Robinhood and GME have gotten just this week. 100k people in a day leaving a review because they found out about the app and GME at the same time and tried to strike it rich but were blocked seems like an under-estimate to me.

Not sure why this is news? The AR "IKEA Place" app [1] has existed since September 2017.

It's very odd that the submission (dated October 2020) suggests that the app is something new.

It's also a pretty bad app -- I tried using it a couple months ago. It failed to render anything on my brand-new iPad, though it worked on my iPhone. It also only has about ~half the current furniture IKEA sells, so I could only try out one of the three desks I was interested in, which made it entirely useless for comparison. Finally, you can't even search for items by name -- you have to navigate a hierarchy of every model the app has.

In other words, it still needs a LOT of work. The app gets occasional maintenance updates but IKEA doesn't seem to be seriously investing in it, unfortunately. The fact it's missing half their furniture is pretty unforgiveable.

>and require courts to evaluate the reliability of confession evidence before allowing it to be used

That's an interesting aspect. I like that it naturally addresses the idea confessions can come from innocent people. If the confession is wrong, took place only due to some undue presser / false promises / lies ... it should be considered that it might be false.

Especially considering that AZ is half swedish, and the vaccine was mostly funded by other countries, the UK only responded for 1/10 of it.

Oxford uni and the production plant just happen to be on the other side of the fence right now, there is very little to claim it as a British triumph. They need something to hold onto I guess.
Then why did you reply to me? Sorry, I'm just very confused... you asked how this was related to the issue at hand.

It's related because this is an empty statement put out for PR purposes, and I believe is purposefully misleading to paint Apple in a good light.

It's hard to overstate how tight the british establishment is, media included. It's a small country, and power is concentrated in a vanishingly small number of hands, many of whom are married, or went to school together, or are close friends.

This is why when britain passed 100,000 coronavirus deaths, with the worst death rate in the world, nobody resigned, and nobody called for anybody to resign.

The BBC is part of this kind of tight, teflon kernel that's at the heart of why the UK is such a dysfunctional country these days.

Or in this case "Caution" which usually is the largest text on these type of signs. Caution and some indication they are referring to the floor, which could just be contextual.

It's nice when performance improvements can be abstracted away or optimized in the browser. HTTP2/3 are good examples.

Something like lazy loading images could be implemented in the browser, but instead we each spend time devising our own lazy loading hacks. Vendors add W3C specs like IntersectionObserver to an ever growing list of web API's that must overwhelm new comers.

I guess it's nice that we have complete control over everything but the web reminds me of Android (more control/complicated). I want Apple (works well enough/simple).
