For Meshtastic, you upload a country/frequency specific firmware.

It’s perfectly happy running on devices without gps, so it’d be a maybe nice to have but not a thing the project could rely on to meet regulatory frequency compliance.

For your motorcycle use case, keep in mind this is a small group of people mesh thing, not something where one device can expect to connect to unknown other people. The SPOT tracker is still the solution you want if you’re looking for safety/emergency contact.

What meshtastic might be useful for on motorcycles (and I’m considering building some of these) is a medium range mesh network between you and your riding group, with super simple super limited Comms UI. I’m thinking 3 or 4 different colour old school video game type buttons that you can mash wearing gloves, that light up a bright-enough rgb led to see in the sun, with 3 or 4 agreed meanings for the colours. “Pull over and check messages”, “Wait for me”, “I’ve crashed”, “Cops!” type messages, that can be sent/understood without needing to read a text message on a phone screen (but still having that text messaging available as well).

Obviously not, but many times they are equivalent in role. Many times when people say "own" they mean "control"—I'm guilty of this myself, as high valued companies are rarely wholly individually owned.

Nobody’s forcing anyone to use any tech but one tech giant standing up to another on valid moral principles with little beyond mindshare to gain is welcome.

This is something Apple has always flirted with and I’d welcome it as part of their brand. So what they might not actually take down FB. But clearly establishing their values isn’t just an opportunity to buy a product, it’s part of the conversation about what role we want technology to have in our lives and our society.
> stock you do own, whose purchase long ago settled, is being lent out without your direct knowledge by the broker for a profit, which is like ... what?

A great thing that helps keeping the fees down, and understood by everyone in the industry, and (thanks to elaborate and battle tested systems) hardly ever a problem. Just like overbooking on airplanes.

There are enough problems in the financial industry; this is not one of them.

Next, brokerages are not allowed to use customer money as collateral, that's why they don't use "money that pretty obviously was there (had been deposited years ago)."

Regarding "people like to ridicule Bitcoin": the equity markets have many orders of magnitude more transactions per day than crypto can handle.

I disagree; the value provided by credit cards is the 0% APR 1-month unsecured loan that pays your transaction. This creates an ton of flexibility and by definition the rewards cost is returned to the buyer.

3% transaction fee means 0.1-0.2% to visanet, 2% in rewards and more than likely a large portion of the remainder is the cost of originating and serving that loan.

> On Wednesday Melvin said it had exited its bet against GameStop and repositioned its portfolio. The firm moved to reduce risk in its investments following a turbulent start to January when it lost 30 percent in the first three weeks. Melvin’s leverage ratio is at the lowest it has been since the firm’s founding in 2014, said a source familiar with the firm. The news of Melvin’s January performance was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.

Which begs the questions: who are the remaining short-sellers and what do their positions look like? Are they other hedge funds with soon-to-expire positions or are they retail investors betting that GME will be back down to $100 or less by next month?
Were all the shorts actually covered? There seemed to have been a lot of contradictory information over the weekend.
With fat-finger trades, you're often dealing with huge amounts of money, and the counter parties are often shell corporations.

A friend of mine was actually one of the defense attorneys for a hedge fund that had the legal entity for one of its funds go bankrupt on some electricity trades where the clearinghouse's margin requirements weren't large enough. The clearing house tried to recoup its losses from a sister fund under the same hedge fund. If I recall correctly, the bankrupt fund actually lost a bunch of money to its sister fund. The clearing house ended up losing in court.

Another friend of mine runs an electricity trading fund, and was pretty upset at the ruling. After the court loss, the clearing house needed to recoup its losses by raising fees.

Once trades have actually cleared, the only recourse is often a messy court battle.
I have had great experience bringing my desktop apps to the browser with TeaVM. The performance is great, the generated JS is small (usually about 1mb gzip for my midsized apps).

I do have the benefit of a UI abstraction - my UI kit runs on Swing/JavaFX on the desktop, and on HTML/DOM (canvas based) in the browser.

No, they are evidence of people who woke up to find out that they owe you their shirt, in addition to six decades of indentured labour of their children, grand-children, and yet-to-be-born great-grandchildren... Deciding that maybe they aren't going to pay you right this instant.

If you're shorting on margin, and the market moves too far before your position gets closed... Your position might get wiped out, your margin might get wiped out, and you may owe an unbounded number of dollars to your counterparty.

Generally speaking, your broker will then sue you for that money... But lawsuits take a long time to resolve. And to a bystander, this sort of thing looks just like a naked short falling apart.
There’s zero risk to Robinhood to settle a full-cash Buy of a security, except for counter-party risk not being able to deliver the shares free and clear.

Lack of truly real available GME shares are literally the whole issue at hand here, since literally more than all of them have actually been loaned to the Hedges to short.

The funds are deposited and under the full control of Robinhood.

This theory that Robinhood has to match their customer fully cleared funds with their own dollars, which can’t be backed by the customer funds, in order to actually take delivery of the shares and only then can the customer account funds be debited.... It’s been repeated constantly without evidence, and I’d really like to see the evidence.
Australia only has half the regular international ISM 915 band, we sold the top half to telcos. (Meshtastic knows and deals with that if you select the 915MHz _au firmware.)
I don't think it's a zero-sum game where people would consume quality, in-depth content if not for the existence the shallow sort.

These authors you describe could try to change the format for a broader audience, but their work would still be fundamentally uninteresting to the latter. Even if there were very few alternative options available, most people would still not generally pursue an interest in such content. The current torrent of content that they do like just turns what is already a very unlikely proposition with perfect conditions into a near impossibility.

The underlying mechanism is that the group you describe as still enjoying reading doesn't have much use for social media to begin with. It's not just them being left behind, but rather having better options elsewhere for what they want to experience. I would go as far as to say that social media is probably anathema to them as it runs against many of their core ideals and instincts.

But let's be honest: most content defined as high-quality in direct opposition to what is found on social media is often not that insightful or actually helpful in shaping lives for the better. I believe it is a trap to consider HN as better than brain fast-food, to name one example.

So all the 100 million vaccines was going to come out of a yield that showed results... 2 days ago. I wasn't aware they make such volume of vaccines in one sitting.

UK are being delivered 2 million vaccines per week, and for EU they make batches of 100 million?
It’s actually infinitely more scalable because now the device manufacturers or any developer can create a library to support any device. Before we relied on a single browser vendor or vendors to write the drivers... while google has an impressive engineering team as do all the browser vendors .. it’s not really reasonable or even as fun to have to only rely on them... imagine an IOT project adding support for HID device to control a robot or console style game... lot of neat possibilities
This is only needed if a program doesn't support scaling itself and is something that a compositor can support. In addition there is a branch by Keith Packard for having server-side window scaling that could also be used for this and work independent of any window manager (though a compositor can also be made to work with any window manager - for example there are people using a compositor with Window Maker even though WM doesn't support composition).
This site is literally broken with disabled JS. But since every single person seems to have a personal reason to do this, then I guess it's fine.
That's what I meant.

I'm not sure if -1 points is really a great signal. That could mean only two people disliked your post, and that kind of small buffer greatly disadvantages unpopular opinions. I would think a post that is really problematic would probably amass at least net 10 downvotes.

Do you take volume of total votes into consideration, e.g., do you treat a post with 2 downvotes the same as a post with 10 upvotes and 12 downvotes? I would think a post with a sizable number of upvotes would be more likely to be an unpopular opinion rather than a really problematic post. Maybe the threshold for greying could be lowered for posts with a sizable number of upvotes.
As many have noticed, from a game theory point of view, Melvin announcing they closed their position is a strictly dominant strategy.

No, they make a good point. If you restrict your focus to countries where higher education is expensive, it definitely is one of many ways in which parental wealth translates into an advantage for offspring. To say it's free or cheap in some countries is just missing their point.

There are also ways in which parental wealth is a disadvantage. It can weaken that grit, ambition, and drive to accomplish things.

While I worry about the implications as much as you do (Gattaca was a great, thought provoking movie) I think the grandparent comment is completely correct that there may be no way to prevent it. If we outlaw it our country, other countries may not. It only takes one group from now until the end of the human race to pursue this for that bifurcation of the human race to be possible.

Maybe it's not such a bad thing. If we don't make ourselves better, whatever the cost, we may find ourselves replaced by artificial life one day.
A better question is: If Melvin made a huge short position and is now finally out of it, why would they bother telling everyone? ;-)

>If your grandma accidentally loses her private voting keys to hackers, do we just roll over and let the hackers vote as your grandma? Obviously not.

It's not obvious to me why not. It's a trade-off. You put the responsibility on the user to keep their keys but you save a lot by not spending anything on solving fake or real issues like this.

In this case if you want assurances like this you can trust a third party that handles that stuff for you.
The rewards cost is returned to some, and is an expensive tax on others. If cheap float is desired, deposit account providers can provide it directly (some forward fintechs already do this).
Very fallacious reasoning here. No-one is saying that infections are driven by Mexican immigrants.

Rather they’re pointing out the obvious: if you’re trying to get to zero COVID, all it takes is one person to start the chain. Thus you cannot have ANY illegal immigration.

FWIW I strongly oppose the “zero COVID” goal because it’s completely unrealistic. We’ll see if the island nations can maintain it long-term but certainly in the US it’s a non-starter.
They did a lot of good coining the term "luck surface area" - i hear it about once a month now in tech circles.

I actually went much further and did a literature review on the philosophy of luck: https://www.swyx.io/create_luck/

In short, the next step after the LSA concept is the idea of four kinds of luck, summarized by pmarca as others have noted. https://pmarchive.com/luck_and_the_entrepreneur.html

But I think all of these are missing the angle of strategic intent - i.e. actively trying to go towards where luck is more likely. Luck is not evenly distributed. That is where I hope to add to the existing literature.

Hmmmm. They won't talk about performance, but they're very keen to convince everyone they've exited their short position. This reads like yet another press release that all the major outlets have run.

Hi @colinchartier!

From what I see your product looks great for running a single app with a ready-to-use staging environment.

In practice, a stating environment is often not limited to one app, but at least 1 frontend inter-connected with at least 1 backend (and often, many frontends connected to many micro-services).

Does your product respond to this kind of architecture?

Then you, like most of society, don't understand what drives criminal behaviour.

Many professional criminals do so out of lack of other options. Others are expressing antisocial sentiment, often a result of trauma or feeling rejected by society. In my case, it was a mixture of both.

Anyone that tells you that a
complex societal problem is solely the result of moral failing or "bad people" does not have a good understanding of the problem space.

> This is not true. Hard lockdown that people follow seems to work. But lowdown only doesn't work.

As a fellow Melbournite I will clarify: Real lockdowns work. End of story.
Certainly, there are many inefficiencies in banking (and other industries that have been around forever). And the mismatch between trading and settlement here obviously caused some problems (note, though, only at the hip fintech brokers, not at the old fashioned brokers that insist that your trades in a cash account settle before you trade again).

However, may I suggest that the better solution to this mismatch is not to speed up the settlement infrastructure (well, that too, to an extent), but to slow down trading??

A couple of auctions every day instead of continuous limit order book trading and a Tobin Tax on trades would eliminate a lot of rent seeking, simplify lots of things, and hardly affect the fundamental functions of the capital markets at all (maybe improve them).
Is using stock photography without paying for it part of “internet culture” now? Or did she do this ironically?
One of the main reasons why I find the CC0 attractive is that it can be used, and is widely used, for works other than software. As a result, it seems to have better name recognition, especially outside of programmer circles, and it's nice to be able to use a single legal text for software that also contains images, audio, or similar assets. (Slapping software licenses onto media files impedes their re-use outside the context of that particular software project.)

Is there an alternative you'd recommend?
The general assumption on WSB is that Melvin Capital is lying and that they haven't closed their positions.

I haven't seen any evidence to suggest they've closed it, and have seen circumstantial evidence suggesting they have not. You don't spend money on ads saying "we no longer have a financial stake in this stock" unless you, you know, have a financial stake in this stock.

Considering this is a hedge fund, I just assume they're lying because, you know, it's a fucking hedge fund.

EDIT: People are claiming CNBC bought ads, not Melvin Capital. https://i.redd.it/8vxraurkcce61.png

You should cite the posts and resources you've mentioned, because there are a variety of caveats that approximately all the posts on WSB misinterpret. People will fly by a comment like this and just repeat it without any fact checking.

The very page you describe specifically states that you can't infer when failures to deliver occurred because the data is reported in aggregate with no age statistics. [1]

Moreover failures to deliver can occur on both the long and short side, and do not necessarily represent that a naked short sale occurred. [2] And when they are associated with a naked short sale, it may still be legitimate. Market makers are legally allowed to engage in naked short sales to facilitate liquidity, and if they can't fulfill the borrow in time (which would itself happen for legitimate reasons), that failure to deliver would also be reported.

Finally - reporting an increase in apparent naked sales to the SEC by gesturing towards data on the SEC website doesn't make sense. The SEC is definitionally aware of it. There may not be an active investigation, but these kinds of datapulls are pretty manual and staffed by people familiar with the data.

So investors in Melvin won’t abandon them. They want to reassure their own investors that the damage is done and they’re out.
Maybe so investors can evaluate the current status of their hedge fund without thinking there is some massive looming instability about to hit them?
The stock is currently around $300, up by a factor of five from last week and much more than that over its historical base. The question should be who isn't shorting GME, not leading questions about a conspiracy theory as to whether or not Melvin actually closed its shorts or not.

I mean, I haven't shorted GME personally. But I've absolutely joked with friends that it's an obvious play. Maybe I should.
