As I understand it, Robinhood cannot use customer funds to satisfy their collateral requirement, nor can they use the proceeds from sales that have not settled. And somehow naked shorts exist, which means that it’s possible to sell stocks without first posting 100% of that stock as collateral.

The fact that Robinhood needs to come up with external funding to secure a customer cash stock purchase (if I’ve understood the current rules correctly) is, IMO, bizarre at best.

So no, I don’t think the market already works the way I proposed.

To be honest, I do not want to speculate about the why and philosophize about the justifications, as the issue is very complicated and would needlessly deviate the discussion.

My comment was very matter of fact: because of the current lack of diversity in management, immigrants have virtually no opportunities to break into management, and because high compensation is almost entirely reserved for management, this means that immigrants cannot be deemed high-achievers in this business environment.
Yup. Every time I'm at Kroger I tell them I'm not interested in a Kroger card and every time they just grab one and scan it.

This, of course, depends where you are. Randalls requires the card/phone number and the cashier won't even prompt you for it; you have to type in the number on the pinpad or hand them your card before paying.

I recently moved away from central TX where HEB is prevalent and that's one of the things I miss the most- they don't use any of this card nonsense and treat their employees well. Up here I'm stuck with Kroger and Walmart.

At some level one needs to provide bindings to the underlying OS APIs.

It surprises me that how much dependent we have become on these big corps (here it's a choice between Microsoft and Google in the article). But at the same time, Wikipedia exists and is an awesome thing without being owned by these firms. Brings me to the question which I don't have any answer - Why can't we have a open source app store totally developed and run by community and which recovers it's hosting cost with privacy-friendly ads and certain share of app revenues? It can host itself on a combination of clouds, and whether an app can be removed or kept; would be decided by community voting; not just whim of a bigco.
Very interesting indeed..

> The stock borrow programme at the DTCC, they allege, enables the naked shorting of shares to the extent that the number of shares in circulation of some companies is now several times in excess of that issued. Even companies listed on the NYSE, could have been affected. As Wes Christian, partner in law firm Christian, Smith & Jewell in Houston, and lead lawyer on several of the cases, explains: "With the revelation of the Regulation SHO Threshold Securities list and the Leslie Boni report, published in November 2004 [see glossary], it is now crystal clear that this problem of naked short selling is systemic in Wall Street, and virtually impacts every business sector on every exchange including numerous billion-dollar companies listed on the NYSE and other companies listed on the Amex."
That statement isn’t strictly true in the most literal sense, but neither is it a clear falsehood, specially given that it is prefixed with the word ‘essentially’, meaning that it is a generalization.

It’s also not going to remain true over time.

But it’s not a false characterization in practical terms for most people.

William Gibson's recent books are a good look at the "present future."
The scale really changes things though...
Germany is no stranger to slave labor and didn’t abolish it until much later than the US did (1945). And not by choice either. The US has never had genocide on the industrial scale of what Germany has done in the 20th century. Slave labor today doesn’t seem to be an issue for Merkel either, as evidenced by recent trade deals.

Germans playing the moral superiority card is humorous to me.

Sidebar: It's incredible that Microsoft itself now uses Electron with Squirrel for apps like GitHub Desktop and Microsoft Teams: It violates every notion of how Windows apps are supposed to be installed, wrecks havoc with enterprise application security policies, and is just the sort of aggressively irritating silent updating garbage that makes Microsoft's primary users, businesses, irritated as heck.
> The biggest problem is Robinhood's poor messaging. It's clear their highest priority was to avoid admission that they were running out of money. They didn't want to trigger a bank run or shake the confidence of their newly acquired users, so they tried to obscure the message as much as possible. As a result, the popular narrative assumed some sort of evil conspiracy theory.

What I don't get is, why is the fear of a bank run relevant? It's a startup and most people seems pretty YOLO about using it. I don't know anything about investor sentiment so I'm genuinely curious - I thought the SIPC covers the FDIC equivalent for RH accounts that show any semblance of trading.

In this frothy market where a bunch of investors barely do due diligence, having collateral problems from too many customers joining too fast sounds like one of those rare "great problems to have," as evidenced by the line of credit they just got extended. Even with the added risk, investors are probably lining up. I was surprised that the CEO didn't go down that line of reasoning for the marketing effect.

Question: Is there a pre-colonization “Indian” culture? I’m thinking not. The British unified disparate cultures, kingdoms, and races for ease of administration/exploitation. The country is so large - but more importantly- so different, that I don’t see how these tensions will disappear anytime soon.

You are saying that hate speech is completely arbitrary - despite being codified in the legal system of hundreds of countries.

That says a lot...
I am really curious how a report like this can capture casual racism or antisemitism. When I was working in Switzerland a long time ago, one of the comments I heard frequently is that I am not like other Indians - I dress well, speak well and I am tall. I would consider it as a "racist" comment, but not something that would get reported. One of my other friends from India felt similar, if he is not dressed in a suit, he would be treated differently. I doubt he would report it either. You are different and will be treated differently. Jariel made a similar point above - you are constantly aware that it is not your country. I do not feel the same in US.
The Xbox Adaptive controllers are a remarkable device as far as OEM gamepads go. Every input can be specialized and hotswapped with switches connected via headphone jacks. Existing DirectInput USB controllers can also be plugged in to the device as well and used in tandem.

The customizability and hackability is through the roof, and the cherry on top is that they work on existing computers and Xbox consoles.

It (effectively) eliminates counterparty risk if you can move money & stocks fast enough. That (theoretically) drives capital requirements down to 0 to settle trades.
Unfortunately the price thing is becoming more popular here (the UK), though we still have some semblance of sense around the issue.

“I'm not sure how you can write that and then disagree.”

Easily - it’s like saying “Consuming food is a necessary condition for human life”. That doesn’t mean all human activity reduces to eating food.

> I would strongly disagree that the people running the companies are not there to maximise profit: appointments are very often explicitly made for financial reasons.

Granted this is sometimes true, but you are just leaving out the fact that in order to increase profit, the business generally has to offer more value too. There are exceptions to this, but it is generally true.

And when they stop adding value or fall behind, unless there is a true monopoly which none of the tech companies have, they become vulnerable to competition.

> > The vast majority of companies in a capitalist system are small to medium sized businesses that are constrained in how much money they can ever make.

> Right, but the ones who are the original subject are not small to medium sized businesses, and they either are not heavily constrained by this, or actively lobby to remove restrictions that do constrain them.

This is just affirming the consequent again, making the assumption that these business all have maximizing profit as their primary goal and that the only reason they haven’t grown giant is constraints.

But the elephant in the room is that if profit were the only motive, nobody would bother to start businesses in fields that aren’t very profitable. The fact that they do, is an existence proof that people run businesses for reasons other than profit maximization.
There are a fair number of core memory planes floating around, both on eBay and with people I know. They were compact and made nice souvenirs when computers were scrapped, so a lot of people held onto them. As far as "lost kingdom", I've seen a bunch of core planes from Russia recently; they probably kept them in service longer.

For example in my country you go to work, eat lunch but you mostly work. In the US what I have experienced is a lot more “living” at the company and everyone stays long but people are not often actually getting work done. But staying late makes you look good. To me: if I go to work for 8h I might have 6 productive hours if even. If I would go to work for 10 hours I might not be much more productive.

Wow, how has nobody noticed this before? This looks seriously rotten:

> Michigan-based entrepreneur Robert Simpson decided to see what would happen if he bought the entire stock of one company. Using a single broker, within a couple of days Simpson had paid a little over $5,000 for 1,285,050 shares in OTC bulletin board property-development company Global Links. According to Simpson, these shares were delivered into his account shortly afterwards. Yet the following day 37,044,500 Global Links shares were traded on the bulletin board. The next day, 22,471,000 shares were traded. On neither day had Simpson traded a single Global Link share, he insists. And events surrounding Simpson's investments became yet more confusing. Global Links had only ever issued 1,158,064 shares. Simpson had managed to acquire 126,986 shares that did not exist. How he had managed to be sold more shares than were in issuance is exactly the question Simpson hoped his foray would raise.
Depends what your goal is. I also wanted to detox from too much smartphone use, so half the reason was to help with this. A Linux phone, while great in other areas, wouldn't have helped with that. Maybe I'll try out some kind of Linux phone when I venture back into smartphone territory.
I have the Amazon Appstore on my Android phone. Google does not allow Amazon to compete on feature parity with the Play Store. Amazon's Appstore cannot do background installation of apps, batch installation of apps, or automatic upgrades if the device isn't an Amazon device.
The type system is a proof system. In your examples, the types do not imply the invariants that you want.

Does this mean that the type system is faulty? No! It just means that you need to e.g. get a more expressive type system, document code properly, use smart constructors. There are many tools.

Nobody said you can trivially prove everything using type systems. So what are your examples showing?

I see your code, but I don't know what you're actually trying to do. One interpretation could be, that you want to prove that for the naturals (excluding 0), up to and including 2, there is an odd number. Can one prove this using type systems? Definitely. If you read Software Foundations, you will know how.
Sure that could happen, but it's just as likely as giving anyone a billion dollars and expecting them to become a company that justifies a $20 billion valuation very quickly. The timing is important too because at the end of a mania like this that is entirely based on a quickly rising price, as soon as enough people decide this isn't going to continue rocketing up, there will be a rush to take their profits or to stop their losses.
Don't forget about the shady and underhanded ways to prevent you from making a local account for a new installation of Windows. The first screen you see asks for a WiFi password, and I assume that it is going to start downloading updates in the background. Instead, it prompts you to enter an email address for a Microsoft account. The "Learn More" button says that you can make an offline account later, but right now they'd really like to have your personal information before letting you continue.

The only way to actually make a local account is to either (a) refuse to connect to WiFi until after an account is made or (b) disconnect the router while it is trying to talk to Microsoft. Option (a) is inaccessible by the time you realize that there is a problem, and option (b) is ridiculous and needs to be found on third-party suggestions. All so that Microsoft can pull in another email address.
Discourse like this belongs more on Reddit. I feel like I’m listening to a Ben Shapiro destroys liberals compilation.
Google is so big that one head doesn't know what the other is doing. Some people probably do know what Matrix is, but that doesn't mean the right people do.

It's still a big problem that Google isn't even making the effort to investigate big apps on their own platform to get familiar with them (before letting the AI loose on them).
It's amazing to me there isn't a system that we can automatically pull from, of trusted channels, that will bring into view these more "hidden" narratives - that get crowded out by the current mainstream media and journalism trying to respond quickly without doing their homework or with doing more quick reads that keep to a narrow scope of a narrative instead of a longer read that requires attention, which in fact will quell the reader's excitement or over excitement - likely leading to less viral sharing due to losing readers who aren't patient enough to read more thorough content.

The D in DNA stands for deoxyribose, a sugar. This is not how chemistry/biology works. The extra stuff matters. That's why I linked the article, as it speaks about dex and MDMA having distinct pharmacology.

If you go all the way down you will find the natural precursor amino acids to a range of neurotransmitters, and ... they will look very similar to amphetamine.

It is also worth noting that street economy MDMA is frequently cut with stimulants, as the pure MDMA effects are not well suited for partying. E pills often have 20-30% MDA, caffeine, amphetamine or meth in them.

Also equating dopamine release with addiction is also not very precise. There are different dopamine systems in the brain. Usually it's assumed the addiction potential of MDMA rather stemming from the frequent over-exciting experiences dulling every day life. People are chasing the intense party life vastly enhanced by drugs, not exactly the drugs themselves. Many MDMA addicts limit their consume to the weekend and suffer through the boringness of work week; usually it doesn't spiral out of control like with other drugs. For most people it's not a every day kind of stimulant drug like cocaine, amphetamine or meth.
These sort of articles have a fundamental problem. If someone were rich, they would presumably be doing other things than hawking referrals links through personal finance advice. And if the author isn't rich, why should the audience listen to their advice?

The other aspect is that even if it can be a good idea for a given individual to invest their savings, there is a reason why this sort of budgeting advice is often satirized as a form of propaganda. It happens to be paradoxically both actionable and ridiculous at the same time given how systemic issues affect people far more than their own small scale scrimping and saving.
