i've tried to quote this to friends before and struggled to remember it, so here's a simple 2 by 2:

1. Accidental Luck (General, Passive luck) - you have the luck of a plant - just lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time

2. Active Luck (General, Active luck) - you have luck from randomly moving around more

3. Prepared Luck (Individual, Passive luck) - you have luck because you've trained yourself to notice when luck happens to you

4. Magnetic Luck (Individual, Active luck) - you have luck because you work on interesting things and people seek you out

(i drew it out here: https://www.swyx.io/create_luck/#four-kinds-of-luck)

I also like the way Naval put it:

1. Hope luck finds you.

2. Hustle until you stumble into it.

3. Prepare the mind and be sensitive to chances others miss.

4. Become the best at what you do. Refine what you do until this is true. Opportunity will seek you out. Luck becomes your destiny.
Robinhood Narrows Trading Restrictions to Eight Companies (Still includes GME)
What if a bunch of countries peg their currency to crypto like Bitcoin and it becomes so valuable that one day jobs return to America due labor being cheaper in the US because we were to stubborn to chain our policy? Lol is that a thing that could happen?
GitHub is a US company, or rather part of one (Microsoft). It iss subject to US government diktats, like National Security Letters, NSA spying, US sanctions banning certain countries and people/users, etc. Indeed, GitHub has already acted upon such pressures or commands, as has been covered here on HN if I'm not mistaken.

So GitHub will not be fundamentally better than Google in this respect.
And the hedge funds making billions off that sentiment do as well of course, Citadel must be blushing at the runaway success of RH right now

Yes we should be honest about the shortcomings of both sides, but if you think what happened on the 6th is even in the same league as what happened in Portland then I think you might be misguided.

Aside from the death of the police officer, and the fact that this was the US Capitol and not some random democratic headquarters where some windows broke, and spray paint was left, it should astound and terrify you that one of these was done under the banner of, and at the direction of a political leader.

If there are Twitter handles that are provably inciting violence on either side, ban them and turn them into the authorities, but we’re not talking about the same thing here on both sides.
The ability to understand falls on the recipient.

My phone? An HTC OneMax (t6vzw).

I unlocked my bootloader (cf. https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-s-off-root-your-htc...), installed TWRP[0] and then re-locked my bootloader.

I then variously installed different custom roms (LineageOS, NuSense, ResurrectionRemix) and in between re-flashed the stock rom.

I used SuperSU and AddonSU to root the installed images. Magisk is also a popular rooting tool (AIUI, the MagiskHide component blocks Google Play from identifying the device as rooted as well).

Once I installed TWRP, I was able to do all of those things with a locked bootloader and had zero problems running any Android application.

I'd note that LineageOS[1] supports hundreds of different phones.

Any reasonably tech savvy person can do this fairly easily and a non-tech savvy person can do so with a modicum of effort.

If you're actually interested, I'll happily sell you my services to do this on your phone.

And I promise you that I will charge you an outrageously large amount for those services. It's definitely not worth it, but I'd be happy to take your money.

Did you set a heap size for your app? Because the JVM has an eager way of consuming RAM (since then it doesn’t have to do useless work with garbage collection) - and the defaults are closer to a server config.
The other part of it is that individuals don't always have enough interesting things to say for it to be worth it from a subscriber's point of view. Hence, over time it becomes either diluted (i.e. the author stretching beyond their areas of expertise) or it becomes a brand with ghostwriters.
Sure, you're right, but the other option is to be a banker...there are much more people with computers than with banking license.
Can we please stop going on about it being summer. The lockdowns we had in Melbourne that lead to elimination was during our winter.
It’s a small tax on some, sure, but also consider that the interchange rates merchants pay in the US vary by card brand and type. They actually charge much less for cards without reward programs (which are few and far between).
Have you used cryptocurrency for payments lately? Unless you want to pay $25 to wait 6 hours while your transaction is confirming, stick to venmo/zelle/paypal/etc...

Unless, of course, you use places like Coinbase that pool transactions or bypass the network altogether, but then... what's the point of cryptocurrency?
The slippery slope is real, though. We all know it by now.
Just installed it. It is great! Thanks for the recommendation.
The heuristics aren’t on steroids but rather basic, SentinalOne, CrowdStrike, CarbonBlack etc. are still as dumb as a door knob, yes they can detect ransomeware because it’s quite easy to detect but their heuristics don’t extend to anything that is remotely sophisticated and doesn’t simply nuke the entire system.
Double Q-Learning in Pytorch Coding Tutorial
Blender is probably already pretty well optimized through SIMD and specialized high performance math libraries and whatnot. I think it would be more interesting to see the difference with "general purpose code".
Or, maybe they're lying to discourage more calls? In any case, their best strategy is to claim they're out of the short position so really them saying so is useless information.
It had lots to do with GME in that GME was the source of the risk (because of its through the roof volatility) that the DTCC was protecting against. But if your implication is that the DTCC has a dog in that fight you are way off base - they exist several layers below hedge funds in the trading stack and have nothing to do with each other, in fact I'd be willing to bet Gabe Plotkin couldn't even tell you what DTCC stands for.
Transaction by second and transaction speed is way way behind in the list of important thing for a store of value.
A few points you might be interested in...

The project (mostly) assumes one device per person. Each user carries a tBeam (or one of the other available boards) and Bluetooth connects it to an android phone. The devices mesh with each other, and the phone is used as the interface, with a map view and a messaging view.

Meshtastic automatically sends each nodes location (at a fairly low default update rate, but you can configure that).

There’s a “repeater node” functionality, so a node at base camp or on the highest local terrain can improve the connect ability of the mesh. There’s also a group of people on the forum experimenting with solar power solutions for these nodes, so there’s a fair bit of reported experimental data on solar panel size vs battery capacity vs device runtime (which is all trickier that almost everybody assumes before they’ve tried to do that in real life. “Specs” for solar panels, battery charging controllers, batteries, and even Meshtastic device power consumptions all have way way bigger error bars that most people expects...)
Good one. We also used GA as part of our game balancer. We found interesting/unforeseen behaviours in the character dynamics and also interesting tactics for players. One thing to note is that this is a dynamic problem and your build might go obsolete with the introduction of new game features.
The important question for any piece of analysis is "would we actually do anything different if this comes out one way or another?"
> You live in your country with your values, please do not export them on us and we will do the same.

This doesn't really work as an argument, though. If someone said "You believe murder is wrong, I don't, don't try to force your morality on me" to justify murder, most people wouldn't buy into that logic. Obviously not all cases are as clear-cut as that, but when it comes to ethical concerns, the attitude of "you do your thing, I'll do mine" doesn't really apply.
I'm personally more than a bit sceptical about the whole Substack hype - I think that it will blow over when the novelty wears off.

But what has changed I think is that good writers who are good at marketing themselves on social media and have a valuable niche can now make a really good living using this model. However, it's going to be a relatively small number who can do this - although many will try - and it certainly doesn't deal with wider issues around publishing.
They say he's taking a swing at facebook without naming them.

They've missed the fact that every single thing they've excerpted there applies equally to google. Algorithm, engagement, conspiracy theory, disinformation, recommendations to more of the same is precisely what YouTube does. For both "With a computer" in the description which is necessary for how recommendation algorithms work has again caused the overwhelming majority of politicians, public servants, commentators to have their brain fall out of their ear. These recommendation algos were censoriship before censorship suddenly got cool a few weeks ago.

Save us from being protected from censoriship by Apple. You'd have to be stone cold crazy to trust Apple now and forever into the future and they are hoarding your data every chance they get themselves with zero consequences beyond PR if they change their policy tomorrow, next year or in 5 years time.

Separately to that, I've never seen a (directly paid for) advert for apple product on the internet. Plenty on the tv. A plethora of manipulated 3rd rate news pieces [1]. Do they advertise on the internet at all? They seem to be very good at advertising.

[1] Is there anyone in Apple's league for convincing news outlets to run their advertisments for free? Elon Musk, for sure. Is he even better? Anyone else? Donald Trump's political advertising maybe? What have you noticed that I might have missed here?
> If they really had exited, why would they bother telling anyone?

They have their own customers and reputation to maintain. They’re trying to let their customers know that the damage is done and they’re out.

They’re trying to stop their customers from abandoning them.
I think we should consider the possibility that Bitcoin greatly incentivizes saving and disincentivizes consumption, at least while prices are increasing as quickly as they are.
Likely just new shorts from a variety of places. I've seen plenty of people opening shorts with the expectations that WSB's play will blow in their face eventually.
I must ask, why would the bank crash if silver changed its price significant in one direction or an other?

‘Here is Cyrus Vance’s moment’: Donald Trump’s new legal nemesis

It seems you guess wrong. The Element guy did not mention any illegality, which is what makes me suspicious.
Does the Reddit part matter? It seems to be meta humour around completely risky but reasonable behaviour. You can explain pretty much everything about it in standard market terms. Mentioning the memes and crude humour is just getting into drama. (And completely optional)
TL/DR: "Dr. Fauci should have magically made Trump listen to reason even though that's not something that Trump ever does".

The article manages to entirely fail to note that all capable people who went against Trump eventually got fired. Trump even wanted Pence to be killed for simply opening envelopes and counting the results.
Yes, it is a threat to send armed agents of the State to intervene. Is it something other than that?

I do not dispute that the partiers should have acted more considerately. But this whataboutism does not absolve the behavior of parent, unless you suggest that one inconsiderate act should beget a like response?

And you are correct: I think less of someone who is unwilling to negotiate their opposition. I appreciate your response and willingness to challenge.
Ethereum definitely doesn't cost that much and take that long as of late.
Maybe. I don't have any such device or the app.
What's the point of this? Of course anything like that is PR.

Even the stories that this journalist covers are at the end of the day PR..
The shorts, from Melvin and others, have mostly been covered, leaving a lot of people holding bags.

This is not some hedgefund guy trying to spread FUD, he's been pretty consistent in his reporting on this over the past week.

ie: this post on Thursday https://www.zerohedge.com/markets/we-have-some-bad-news-game...
Are these returns after tax?
It looks more SNES to me, including the controller.
Against He specifically, the biggest factor that causes consternation is that He seems to have been more motivated by winning the accolades of being first than by actually doing good work. The work came out of nowhere, wasn't exactly successful (in that neither of resulting gene edits actually reflected the intended result), and it's unclear if the parents actually understood what they were consenting to.

To the broader topic, one of the major issues is that genes are nowhere near so cut-and-dried as they are portrayed in science fiction. Rather famously, the mutation that confers sickle-cell anemia also confers resistance to malaria. But for most genes, we don't know what the side-effects of their mutations will be. How can you properly ask for consent to a procedure whose consequences are often unknown and perhaps unknowable? All the more harder when the person on whom the greatest burden is borne is not yet in existence, let alone capable of giving consent.
Whether the shorts were naked or not before this started, the shorts are unquestionably bankrupt with GME at or above $300.

When shares are traded out from under a short, and there’s no where left to borrow them from, and the hedge funds can’t meet collateral requirements for their short interest, and the broker needs to liquidate their position but they come up about $20 billion dollars short...

That’s when you have massive failure to deliver and the whole corrupt organism goes into CYA mode and tries to shut down buying and bring the stock price back in-line with their models.
If you can find shares to borrow, are willing to pay the 30% fee, and can handle the swings of a spike higher, go for it.

What will last longer, your solvency or the market’s irrationality?
In true ZX fashion, there are clones of Next as well - https://ultimatemister.com/product/zx-next-official-clone-bo... (I have this one, it's fantastic).
In that case they could most definitely inform their investors directly and there's absolutely no need to make a public statement about it.
Is this very post PR or a story? You tell me, Taylor.
I can’t quite wrap my head around how this is possible.

Are stock brokers allowed to just generate shares in their computer systems and then find a way later to actually obtain them? And when they do so, that might actually be from another broker who magicked them into existence?
Did I say that slavery was the only reason? No.

Did I say racism is only historical? No.

Having words put in one's mouth makes conversation deeply uninteresting. Thus I shall end my contributions here.
Actually many are - my wife's college did a lot of scheduling and event planning on Facebook because "everyone has a FB account". That's why she had to create an account.
These are closer to pop-sci articles than proper papers. Please read everything Macintyre ever published on the topic of masking in healthcare works before 2020. Start with this one:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4420971/

Linking me a bunch of public health websites isn’t convincing because these organizations don’t actually maintain epistemiological rigor, they just parrot whatever the dogma is.

The only RCT of masking for COVID-19 ever performed showed an insignificant benefit in terms of self-infection at best.

Meanwhile studies in HCW can’t rule out cloth masks causing bacterial pneumonia and increased self-infection.
> And soon that will also change on macOS.

You have a source for that claim?
Right now there isn't any protocol for doing what i described, however this information could easily be added. EWM (or something like it) needs to be extended for scaling support. Applications could do the scaling themselves as they detect their toplevel windows be moved around, but i'm not aware of any application doing that and it'd be fighting the window manager so it isn't a good idea anyway.

But the X server already provides all the necessary information and mechanism for implementing this, it is the clients that need to use it: the window managers need to implement some way to inform toplevel windows that they need to change scale (e.g. via a custom message), applications need to inform the window manager and the compositor that they support such scaling messages (e.g. via a window attribute) and compositors need to be able to scale windows that do not support this scaling (this will probably need a special window manager <-> compositor protocol for compositors that are independent from the window manager while still allowing the window manager to handle scaling without having to also be a compositor).
> You don't spend money on ads saying "we no longer have a financial stake in this stock"

I don't think they did. The source of this meme seems to be a Twitter ad from CNBC that was teasing an interview with a quote to that effect. That's a CNBC ad selling their show, they don't take paid ads from their guests.
Shorts aren't free. Even if you know a stock will eventually drop, benefiting from that is not quite so simple.
It is somewhat important to describe how these people are not acting rationally or individually and how these internet groups can group together to have very powerful and unusual effects.
My favorite part is imagining the editorial debate that occurs at more traditional news media as to whether or not to cite a quote from someone with the user name /u/pm-me-videos-of-u-farting or /u/lickmydogsbutt
Absolutely. To my mind the most effective newsletters are actually what you might call 'link newsletters' - finding and filtering other's content. In a way my inbox looks more like the lamented Google Reader than a magazine.

It's also interesting that Ben Thompson who pioneered the model often stresses how hard he has to work and generate his content - and I fully believe him!
Yeah I don't see a world in which galeforce/eclipse isn't by far the best on Jhin. Even with 'gap closer' set to max it still picks kraken
I understand basic options. They listed only long puts in 13F, the max they could lose is the premium they paid. So there must be some other securities that they didn't disclose (mostly short calls as @tchanglington mentioned) which resulted in the loss. I was asking if hedgefunds can disclose selectively? If so that can be exploited in so many ways.
Have you looked into the bitcoin lightning network? Iirc, it has a much more bigger transaction per second rate than Visa network.
This is brilliant, great work!
This has not shown to be the case for COVID-19. Hell, school closures weren’t even recommended by the WHO for influenza which can directly harm children.

You need to provide affirmative evidence before undertaking societal interventions with guaranteed negative impact. Does the hippocratic oath ring a bell?

> It’s actually infinitely more scalable because now the device manufacturers or any developer can create a library to support any device.

Sure, but that means you as a device manufacturer have to convince all these websites to include your library and support your device. Why not have e.g. generic gamepad support in Chrome and let developers write a driver for their devices as an extension ?

Now all you get is horrible fragmentation, your device may work on website A but not on website B, and maybe kinda work but very buggy on website C.

It’s a recipe for a shitty user experience. In practice you’ll see that only a handful of popular devices will be universally supported.
Again, you have a knack of viewing inequality upside.

Based on my speed read of the available chapter one I couldn't recommended it. It is not aimed at me, or anyone I know.

I agree that it is always best left for each person to ultimately decide whether to read it or not.

Last I checked they were still subject to delivery requirements, but had a substantially longer time to find the shares (10 days iirc).
How much evidence is there that the "reddit onslaught" actually moved the price, as opposed to them being the stalking horse for more sophisticated actors with more capital exercising a vanilla short squeeze strategy?
My home server for years was various laptops with busted screens :) ran quiet, low power usage, but with more than enough compute for my usage!

I’ve lately moved to a second hand Dell SFF office PC, as it gave me more expansion and even faster compute. Sits next to the router in the lounge, the girlfriend forgets it’s even there!
In sports, we call these "side-bets," wherein the total value captured in the bets can be many times the purse prize of the event (fight/match, what have you).

That there's a great deal of betting happening on the outcome of the stock market shouldn't surprise anyone (and yet it does!). It is, after all, the biggest game on the planet.
For a day, wsb had replaced their header image with a giant penis cartoon. No wonder they couldn't show screenshots that day
Nope. Not saying that.

For the high tech case...in Spain, an employer can’t provide stock options to employees. The Silicon Valley case where the first few dozen employees become millionaires is not an option in Spain.

For low-level employees, many are employed in the black market and enjoy no privileges. Because of this they get no credit, phone lines and numerous other benefits that extend to being legal. They can’t make the jump.

These problems extend to Dominican Republic where they exist but are even worse.

US / UK is better for hard working, and smart people be they employees or employed people. Anecdotally, I know so many stories of Dominicans who move to USA and begin to work so hard because they finally get compensated and rewarded for previously unacknowledged work. You hear this everywhere. Dominicans become hard workers in USA.
> Lastly, as a result of this mishmash of legal, industry, general-intellectual-property, and general-use terms, it isn’t clear whether The MIT License includes a patent license. The general language “deal in” and some of the example verbs, especially “use”, point toward a patent license, albeit a very unclear one.

I think this is a very carefully couched way of saying "the MIT license doesn't protect the licensee from being sued by the licensor for patent violation." If person A has a patent on algorithm X, and he wrote open source code which implements X, and he licenses this code to person B under the MIT (or BSD) license, and B uses the code, it's feasible for A to sue B for patent violation.

For this reason alone, I think MIT and BSD are awful, archaic licenses that should be avoided at all costs. The Apache 2.0 license is a great substitute.
