That would be virtual bleeding (which could be the case though), but if you bleed real money then somebody else has to receive it. If you hold a stock money doesn't come to you (except as annual profit distribution but that is a different issue). I read the fees for borrowing a stock for shorting are coupled to the market price (not sure). So if you fund lost a few billion real money (so they have to sell other assets to pay that) then somebody else has to get these billions now.

Absolutely. This is one of the main reasons I'm using Vim - not
only because of the program itself but how I can just combine it
with the multiplexer I want, in my preferred terminal emulator,
interfacing with other text-based tools. Many things I do
regularly would require me to write custom plugins in VS Code.
In Vim I can just bind keys to an arbitrary sequence of inputs -
something modern applications sorely lack.

It's limited, but that limitation severely reduced the
complexity of the interface - it's all just a string and bash
is, despite all its weirdness, an extremely productive string
processing language.

As somebody who has built quite a few of these internal extensions through the years, technical hurdles were never the problem.

The problem was to persuade managers that they were worth the effort, persuade workers that I wouldn’t “screw up” their preciously-pristine browser, and persuade IT not to use their “UNAUTHORIZED SOFTWARE!!11!” flamethrower. In short, exclusively people-problems.

Your bank actually has to lie to you to remain solvent. All banks do. The Central Bank also encourage it.

Last year you saw both that banks were 'forced' to withhold dividends and they were perfectly capitalised. Both cant be true of course.

If they hide it from you your money and everyones money is safe. If they tell the truth everyone loses, so it is actually the best outcome for you and everyone else. The fractional reserve system relies on not everyone withdrawing their money at once.

“The markets can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.”

Looking at WSB today, a lot of people and comments are clearly market-irrational, because they're smelling blood. They're not buying the stock based on the fundamentals, they're buying the stock in the hope of bankrupting any fund that is trying to short sell the stock.

For revenge. For shits and giggles.

A friend of mine posted some statistics from a Swedish broker who reported that over 15000 people had bought shares in GME in the past two days. That's just one broker in one small country. Suddenly, that 50 million share float doesn't look very big. It's definitely small enough that what is essentially a global flashmob of angry people can completely disrupt the share.

I think if you're shorting the stock right now, thinking it "has to" crash back down, you're severely underestimating the size and irrationality of this mob.

I was talking about the "Citadel, nee SAC" bit in your comment.
Yeah but what does grayscale have to do with it? Doesn't make sense.
I don’t know what Robinhood is actually doing, but I think your scenario isn’t necessarily problematic.

Suppose I deposit $100 and Butt $300 of stock. Now I have -$200 of cash. (The UI doesn’t necessarily show it like that, but that’s what’s in my account.). If the stock goes up to $600, I still have -$200 of cash. If the stock drops to $400, I still have -$200 of cash. If the volatility estimates change such that a rapid crash to $199 seems likely, the broker should margin call me, as a crash to $199 would send my account value negative.

Contrast this with non-margin trading. If I deposit $400 and buy $300 of stock, I have $100 of cash, and the broker doesn’t particularly care what happens to the stock price, since they are taking no risk. Their clearer may impose requirements on them, but that’s a somewhat separate issue.

It's a pretty sad thing to think that building 'odd-looking avant-guarde, expensive and dysfunctional architecture has anything to do with building a functional future and helping to improve social conditions.

Can we look at that project and assume for a moment that anyone was actually trying to 'alleviate poverty'?

The 67 project is actually an interesting sight to see, and a worthy attempt at 'something' - just not in the context with which it was initiated.

It's more likely it was a giant expression of creative hubris, which is fine, but not with the price tag or hypocritical lamentations.

Can anyone see how all of these dramatic projects, borne of the minds of 1960's progressive thinkers, mapped into every artifact of social life may have had unsurprisingly bad consequences?

This project is straight out of Trudeau Sr. era - and there are many more - please have a look here [1] the famed Olympic Stadium, which was never finished and is effectively dysfunctional.

These projects should be giant lessons in self awareness more than anything. When we look at them in retrospect and ponder 'what were think thinking they were trying to do?', the reaction should be 'I wonder what we think we are trying to achieve now?'.

It is somewhat confusing that the documentation of a Personal Data Store server does not contain any reference to how a person would use it to store data.

From the demo video it seems more apt to consider it as a "Broker of Personal Data," based on the examples shown where data is already stored in third party services, and the role of Personium is more oriented towards the grant/deny/revoke logic of data consumers attempting to access data.

What's interesting to me, is that those that shape the platform guidelines (Google/Android, MS/Win, don't have apple so can't say) often are the worst offenders to completely disregard them.

When that's the case, such general guidelines become useless. "If they don't follow them, then why should we?"

I have the same issues with HSBC in France.

Calling their app "decent" is charitable to say the least.

So, every broker is on margin with DDTC, they don’t have to have 100pct cash for the dollar amount of the buy orders they send to DDTC, as long as they will have the cash in 2 day. Some brokers like fidelity have hoards of 401k money and more likely to have 100pct cash for their orders. Trading brokers like IBKR RH keeps the minimum possible amount of cash with DDTC, and their automated systems adjusted up the minimum.

This is more or less like the futures market, except futures trades settle at end of day (when CME closes for an hour at 5pm, and next day starts at 6pm lol) and DDTC is the equivalent of CME

Who’s irresponsible here? DDTC for their lax cash requirements? Individual brokers that only keeps the minimum required cash? Futures cash requires 10pct or less, but no futures trader would only keep that much in their account, unless they don’t mind being wiped out and liquidated at end of day settlement (and then deposit more money the next day to trade again). Brokers cannot risk being wiped out at all.

The system isn't well-designed. The actual mechanics of the stock trading process are jury-rigged to allow for the high volumes of trade we see.

It’s not for expenses, it because stocks don’t actually settle (i.e. exchange cash for shares) until a few days later. But Robinhood lets customer trade again immediately.

They are financing this turnover. When volumes go huge and turnover increases, they have a lot more capital tied up in this process.
I have a question to all the HN commenters who were celebrating openly when Twitter et al. banned Trump: are you happy now?

This goes against my internal logic about personal privacy. The solution to online privacy and data mining is not collecting it all in a central repository, it is not collecting it at all.

Further, and I realise this will come off as alarmist, but, what then if the software suffers a 0-day? All that data will then be nicely aggregated for a bad actor. Somehow, knowing that there is perhaps a non trivial amount of work to be done to collect data and compile a profile from many different sources feels safer than putting it all in one place.

I believe when you sign up to Facebook you need to accept some terms and condition clause - this is the contract which is signed between you and Facebook (Facebook is referring that document when users are banned, so apparently they consider this as contract).

Facebook earns money thanks to its users, providing them some service so definitely there should be a contract here.

Now, when you look on those T&C, they are very vague, especially possible reasons for account suspension are very, very vague. They refer user to some "community standards" and it is not clear, if those "standards" are part of the contract or not.

In my opinion, the first thing that should be changed is to force Facebook and other services to provide a clear, formal contract that would state what are duties of both contract parts, what rights they have, etc. Stuff that each normal contract has. No mumbling about "community", etc.

Contract should be something that is enforceable and has clear appeal path and so on. If I don't agree with Facebook I should be able to court and refer to something that is specific and well defined, not some Mark Zuckerberg views on what is good or bad.
I do something similar, I gave up on trying to get the bash history to work properly and so just have this:

echo "$HOSTNAME $$ $(date "+%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%S%z") $*" >> ~/.fullhistory

It's attached to the preexec hook of https://github.com/rcaloras/bash-preexec, so is run before every command. This means that everything goes into one easily-greppable file, but is still separable by PID/host machine - since my work has me walking around a large facility, often I'll remember where I was when I did something but not exactly when, so can narrow down by machine.
Of course. But the point I'm making is that in my opinion, the demand is being generated by Melvin themselves by having a position with so much risk, it's not artificial demand.
