I am just being paranoid at this point, nothing else. :)

Thank you! Looks lightweight and less confusing. I'll give it a go.
Are you me? I also work in ML and am raising a child in a small seaside town. Your comments are very similar to my experience. I was told going remote and leaving the city was career suicide, but it's been quite the opposite. The amount of assumed travel (pre-covid) was a bummer and often happened at inconvenient times at multiple companies, but I still wouldn't trade it. I never talk about tech outside of work, which is nice, although a little lonely at times. In some ways I think my worldview has broadened by not living in a tech hub anymore. Work-life balance is super healthy, I don't spend as much time in front of screens anymore either. The pros totally outweigh the cons in my opinion.
If they did, it would be a coincidence, since corporate officers usually can't sell shares whenever they want.

GME might have sold new shares though; they were already set up to do this at any time.

Technically selling your own stock at a ridiculous price might be securities fraud though…
It could end by simply crashing without shorts going broke. There's not much reason to believe a larger short squeeze is forthcoming.
Does schwab? I've gotten notices for selling stock before it settles
reversing transactions is a thing even without putting an artificial delay in the transaction process.
>Most people don't even know what a world would look like in which power was taken away from large companies and a genuine market of services would exists that gives power back to the users and developers rather than platform owners.

Consumers knew exactly what more open computing was like prior to the App Store. There were no App Store for Windows or OS X back in 2005, and you could largely install whatever applications you like onto the smartphone operating systems of the day. Evidently, a pretty large chunk of users decided the preferred the more restricted operating system with the "curated" store.
Your description of Facebook’s business is incomplete.

Facebook’s business is getting paid by companies to help them sell goods and services to consumers by tracking user behavior without consent so that they. can sell targeted ads, and by keeping users engaged with the ad delivery platform by presenting content algorithmically selected to provoke emotional reactions.

Those are the incentives.

What about all the actual small businesses that have positive ROAS? There are millions of them on Facebook's platform. What kind of other research are you looking for?
Can you elaborate a bit more on the pitch as a a Canadian?
I'm fully remote these days and have gotten more and more remote over the past 20 years. That said, it's hard for me to imagine being in that situation out of school even taking into account much different times and communication mechanisms.
Who would become their customer in the future? I have never heard of a brokerage house that acts like this. They are suppose to take a little cut and not take a position on the clients interest. This is kind of mind boggling to me.
Big Tech nemesis Lina Khan is gaining traction for top Biden antitrust role
The difference is the supply of bitcoin is fixed. Whereas a company can issue shares at any time. Obviously if the market cap stays at $30 billion for a long time, Gamestop management is going to start spending their overvalued stock like drunken sailors.

First it'll be just to plug up the money their operations are constantly losing. Then they'll start going on acquisition sprees, giving out giant compensation packages, get into empire building. Maybe they'll buy a movie studio or a Vegas casino. That's a constant supply of new stock that will keep pushing down the price. It's the same way that AOL used their stock to buy Time Warner during the Internet bubble.

AMC already took advantage of the meme madness by selling a huge chunk of shares to lock in some cash. That's why AMC didn't moon like GME. But give it a week or two, and GME's board will pretty much be forced to do the same thing.
There is a big difference between handing out light punishments and actively colluding. In the case of Cohen, his light punishment is because they were never able to find the smoking-gun evidence they needed to put him away properly on criminal charges despite a massive effort to do so so they settled for what they could get. It's not enough to be guilty (hi OJ), and Cohen was guilty as sin I don't doubt it.
>sea people can't really adjust and are a danger to society

haha pure gold.
It looks to me as if there are more stocks sold short than people are willing to sell back. The brokerages have plenty of money, but if 140% of stocks are shorted, delivering them all to their rightful owners is obviously difficult.

If that is in fact the case, the only ones who could prevent a full-blown market meltdown is Gamestop if they issued the missing 40%.
Email can be spoofed, no? usernames are a dime a dozen, but on twitter there's a single username for Stephen Colbert for example. It's verified that it really belongs to him, and only he's authorized to use it.

I think anyone who wants should be able to verify themselves. Whether you are a celebrity or you just think you are because you have 14k twitter followers (grumble grumble).

If you become famous overnight, you're already have a verified identity for PR, etc.

So, I think centralized one-identity that you can control makes a lot of sense and maybe you can always have a kill-switch to set your profile private, or delete/wipe the data and control your own privacy.
I think this is sound advice. I still have some in, but I locked in gains such that if I lost anything still in I'd still be well up.

There is a symbiosis between Apple and its developers, both are responsible for the experience and Apple reviews apps and maintains submission standards for that reason.
ACH settlement is getting faster. There's been a big push in the last few years, which will finish March 19, 2021 with three same day ACH settlement windows, and from what I can tell most (all?) ACH transactions under $100,000 eligible for same day settlement, with the remainder settling the at 8:30 AM Eastern the next business day (or future day if future dated).

What services banks and brokerages offer on top of that, can be more limited of course, but that's the state of the system.
“Reasoning About Code” Is a Scam
Brokers can't stop you from selling shares; they're your shares. Only the regulator can prevent sales.

Wow ok. The value of HN has decreased to almost zero for me, but you've made it worth it this month. Thanks for this!
I personally won't go as far as the grandposter here, but I'd be at least skeptical of any investment advice from random internet people.

Even if this instance is not manipulation, I'm sure there are people on wsb that do try to make money through manipulating each other. I think that's just the nature of the internet in general.

Down vote? Really? https://every.sdf.org/.webshare/hagstone.jpg
This may be a little off topic, but as cars evolve to truly self drive, what happens in a traffic stop? Will the police issue a moving violation to the driver even if the car messes up? If so, is there case law or precedent for how one fights the ticket? Will car manufacturers provide a service that proves the car was driving and why it performed what actions in a way that a traffic court will understand? Will the driver accept all liability for decisions made by the car? If the car causes enough moving violations for the drivers license to be suspended, will the driver be allowed to sit in the back seat as a passenger once cars reach the point where a driver is not legally required?

If you know that there is only one fish and a lot of sharks, sure.

But with payment for order flow you know there are tons of other fish at the table. That changes things, as you only have to beat the other fish to get a small payout. And the sharks aren't focusing on you in particular, so you might get lucky and beat the sharks.
Exactly. Obesity alone means ~40% of the population of the US, and ~30% of the UK have an underlying condition as far as COVID risk goes.
I used to get angry all the time. Really angry.

One day my counselor said to me “listen, here’s what I want you to do. When you’re starting to feel angry, just ask yourself ‘does this really matter?’. If it matters, go ahead get angry. If it doesn’t matter then why bother getting angry?”

I rarely get angry now because almost nothing actually matters enough to get angry, once you start to ask yourself the question.
You’re just expressing that you have some beef with the company, not making an argument about the lawsuit. You could similarly talk about how Apple depends on sweatshops to increase margins.
I'm quite confident people probably over-estimate their chance of dying in a plane crash by a few orders of magnitude as well. People are careful about their own lives, which is probably a good survival mechanism.

What specific policy are you suggesting? The more <40 year olds that get the virus, the more virus there is. The more virus there is, the more people who are spreading the virus, the more people who can get the virus, including people at very high risk of dying or being disabled from it.

As far as I'm aware no place has let the virus spread uncontrollably, think everything was fine, and not lock down at some point. The policy clearly has to be somewhere in between fully locked down and fully opened up, and I'm not sure discriminating by age and health is going to be some magical solution.

I don't see how they can justify keeping these people trapped on ships while plenty of business and leisure travellers jet back and forth around the world.

I'd understand if we were actually enforcing a real quarantine with closed borders, but we're not. What makes these maritime workers such a greater risk? Is it just that they're not wealthy citizens of western nations?
A Guide to Customer Lifetime Value
I've worked remotely for almost four years now. I'm in a suburb of a large US city on the East coast, not really a tech city.

It's... fine? I guess?

I guess I never really thought about doing this job in a "non-tech" city, versus doing it in a "tech" city.

I'm not entirely sure what the difference would be in a "tech" city. If you're into the startup scene, or simply really enjoy local hacker stuff like local user groups, maker spaces, etc then doing a remote tech job in a non-descript suburb would surely suuuuuuuuuck. Those aren't big factors for me though. I have friends and family here, and I satisfy my urge to connect with the larger "tech community" online and thru my team at work.

As far as working from home in general, I love it. It's not for everybody. For most people I believe it's 1000% healthier than commuting if you have a full and healthy life outside of work and your job provides at least a modicum of community via daily video calls, etc. It's just a simple math equation: there are a fixed number of hours in a week. Since I switched to remote work, I spend less hours commuting and thus I have more time for sleep, other pursuits, exercise, friends, etc.

Not everybody feels the same about remote work and that's fine. You will quickly discover if it's for you!

Unexpected hurdles?

1. Feeling like you're "always at work". Enforce some kind of physical space for work time. If you don't have a separate office, it can even just be a particular chair at the dining room table that is reserved for "work time."
2. General lack of respect from friends and family assuming that "work from home" means. They think you aren't working, or you can just completely make your own schedule, leave work on a Tuesday afternoon to drive Aunt Sally to the dentist, etc. For folks who've never worked from home it can be hard for them to wrap their heads around it.
No, they consistently perform optimizations that violate IEEE 754 rules, such as reassociation and commutation of expressions. These are difficult to observe (unless you are in the habit of observing -0 vs 0), but yes, you can observe them. They are very precisely specified by IEEE 754 and C/C++ compilers perform illegal optimizations.
Err, same in America man. Bushes? Father and son were the president. Kennedys? Brothers were almost presidents, one was a President, the other governor. Clintons? Spouses were almost presidents! If that's not cliquey I don't know what is.

While the Bushes, Kennedys, and Trumps came from wealthy backgrounds, the rest of the recent presidents came from lower-income brackets.

Ronald Reagan grew up poor in Illinois. Bill Clinton grew up poor in Arkansas and went to college and law school on scholarship, and his wife grew up in a middle-class family in Illinois and attended public schools.

Obama and his wife grew up middle-class in Hawaii and Illinois, respectively. Biden also grew up middle-class, in Pennsylvania; his second wife came from an upper-middle class background.
My links? No.

Arrival of the Fittest: Genotype Networks Explained (2017)
So far, this has actually worked out well. Especially for us in an early phase, every feedback and request from a user is very helpful. But that the model works is also proven by tools such as Figma.
Fun fact. Amateur astronomers can use photometry to detect some transiting exoplanets using as small as a 4'' telescope on a night with good seeing. Atmospheric composition is a different matter.
I can't believe that the Mayor of SF gets paid a $350k salary. I did not realize that.
I've worked remotely for several years; I've lost count, but at least ten. Before that, I was about 75% remote for 5 years or so.

I live in semi-rural Scotland, so about as far away from a tech centre as it gets :)

My experience has been entirely positive, but I should add that I'm an introvert.

No commuting has obvious benefits - more sleep and/or family time, and cost savings from transport. For some, those cost savings can be pretty substantial.

Being able to have breakfast and lunch with the family (I have 2 young kids) is also great. It also means I can help out here and there, such as watching the kids for a short period while my other half gets stuff done.

I'm the kind of person that prefers a quiet space to work in - and in an open office (which is invariably the norm) there is always at least one really loud person who paces back and forth while speaking loudly in conf calls! I have a home office that's just perfect, with a door and everything! If you're going to work from home, I think a dedicated workspace should be a priority, as long as you have physical space of course.

I don't have any regrets, and doubt I'd ever return to an office environment, unless it was 1 day in 10 or something like that.
Interesting. Thanks for the pointer to the details, too.
What is scientifically known about the Covid variants
Hasn't the outgassing theory been dismissed because there is no sign of it?
I keep seeing the "everyone commits multiple felonies a day" quote, but all the examples quoted are of people destroying evidence, dealing in protected goods and so on. Are there any actual good examples of ordinary law-abiding citizens going about their mundane daily lives while also inadvertently committing multiple felonies?
OP directly addresses the topic with the goal of improving the community. That you think it is both OT and malicious makes me incredibly sad. Calling that particular subset of voters thoughtless because you disagree with them is a nasty brand of solipsism.
they all do, its just that some are better than others. i dont actually like php, but it has plenty of advantages when it comes to quick web app development even without googling.

had a client once where its workers were day dreaming of a job in the valley and ofc they were using python. they bashed php on a daily basis, and as they were doing it, the php api was sole codebase running in production (essentially the company’s product) and running reliably for a few years.

the python workers were still struggling with basics such as queues and isc, and digging through non existent or vaguely written documentation. was a fun experience watching them struggle as i basically cloned repos, read the code or entry points for that code and get things shipped.

since then i started loving python. development is slower and my invoices keep coming. love it. occasionally i write some lib thats already been implemented in plenty of php and nodejs packages.

oh same client had a ruby codebase that kept failing and couldnt find devs to work on it. fun times.
Sorry what planet are you on, he won exactly zero the UK backtracked on everything and the EU got exactly what it wanted.
Well, ignoring snazzy materials that take a pretty sophisticated factory like the original link, you could make something like this via a bunch of small full range drivers mounted in a ring and some of the dsp stuff available now. The computational requirements are low enough you could probably fit it onto a lot of maker style hobby controller boards too.

GME is absolutely going to crash and everyone knows it. There was a mod post just today reminding everyone to be ready. The stock is worth $10-20 on it's merits and that's where it will land. We just don't know when. The chance of this as a contagion that brings down indexes seems very unlikely.
We all know why it hasn't. Do you really believe it will last forever? or even 6 months from now? People are trying to make money. Once the momentum slows down the big sell off will start and nobody would be able to stop it. Not DFV or even the biggest troll of all, mr. Elon Musk.
The increase (or lack of decrease) in marketshare has to be factored as part of the return on investment, in which case the result is positive.

Otherwise why continue to run the ads? A smaller but profitable marketshare is better than a larger but negative one.
I've been working remotely on/off for the past decade and vastly prefer it to commuting to an office. It has afforded me the opportunity to live in a corner of the world that I truly love: a quiet and remote 20+ acres property in rural Colorado.

In my experience, the key is to work for a company that is remote-first (or even remote-only), because it will be structured accordingly. I've never worked on a team that's partially remote - I can imagine that could cause friction and a certain degree of alienation.

I would also add that there is definitely an advantage to being on-premises and in a tech hub for an engineer that is at the beginning of their career: easier access to mentoring and learning opportunities, creating a professional network, meeting friends, etc.. It's a tradeoff.
Hm, I tried Mindustry multiple times after enjoying a few runs of Factorio, and did not get hooked. I think my gripes are:

- all buildings look the same, so it is hard to make out the layout of the factory from an overview

- (at least initial) levels are very small, and when you move on, you have to build from scratch. I love infinite worlds since Minecraft. It would also be ok, if levels preserved my previous setup when reentered.

- the pace is too high (maybe it is controllable, I haven't looked) to plan far ahead, which is exactly the most interesting problem in Factorio (and Satisfactory BTW)
