I can second the problems with Revolut. Weird and dodgy, and they spend every second of your use of their app trying to sell you shitty addon services like mobile phone insurance.

Starling, however, has been magic. I swapped my primary banking over to them and the only issue I've had is their dislike of rooted phones. That's only a minor inconvenience every few months when I forget to upgrade Magisk before the Starling app, though.

Transferwise I've used many times to transfer money for larger purchases in Europe. No complaints, but haven't tried the banking side of it.
This article finally gave me a good division about integration tests (stubbed/mocked Cypress or bigger form RTL tests) vs end-to-end tests.

It’s all a matter of perspective. When I saw the title I immediately thought Angular JS.

Many, possibly most, UX developers cannot actually do their jobs. Instead they are hired to use some crappy framework to outsource the required competency. For many of these people dependency on some bullshit framework is the expected reality and anything different must then be poor execution... all objective metrics aside.
“Everyone’s Wrong”: A History of How a Redditor Turned $53K into $60M
Thanks Jack! Always good hearing from another EF'er :)
Not gonna happen, so it's a bit irrelevant. QEMU's architecture is fairly generic and it was never built for speed in the first place. Improving the speed of emulation is more about getting better than the current baseline of "10x or worse slower than native, and continuing to gradually get slower if we add features and don't actively try to work on performance". If we got to "3x slower than native" I would be really surprised.

Which isn't to say that you can't do better than 3x-slower under any circumstances, just that if you wanted performance you'd probably be better off starting from scratch with an emulator design that cared about performance and which was really clear about its use-cases -- eg "this is user-space only, not system emulation" and "this is only this very small set of host and guest architectures". QEMU does a lot of different things in one codebase, which makes it cumbersome to change anything and hard to put in optimisations or simplifications which might be valid for a specific host/target combination but not more widely.

That looks like a typo, it should be "medio" instead of "meido", but it may be a local idiom.
That depends upon the articles of the company.

Sometimes shareholders have to approve the new issue, sometimes they have first rights on purchase.

Given that the shorters aren't actual shareholders, that might not help.

Then there's the question as to why GME would forego revenue by issuing stock under market price. They're not at any risk at present, so why leave money on the table?
I've read it as a way of saying that the fragmentation of iOS versions is way lower than on Android. So if a "latest iOS"-only zero day would've been found it would affect a lot of users as they tend to update quickly.
> If there were another way to incentivize finding these types of companies without short selling, I would be interested.

In ye olde times before the invention and institutionalization of short selling and other financial instruments, this kind of research was the responsibility of the media (to raise the alarm) and the SEC/police (to investigate claims with the authority of the government, and prosecute offenders).

Unfortunately, most newsrooms have been "consolidated" or shut down entirely as the market for quality journalism has declined over the last decades, and there is an unhealthy "revolving door" between banks, hedge funds and other market players on one side, and regulatory agencies on the other side.
"and the fact that it turns more than 360 degrees means the gearing is fixed -and- linear"

Not sure what you mean exactly, but it's not true that only assist power can be modulated. BMW cars with "Active Steering" have been available in Europe since 2003. These cars use a gearbox to achieve a variable steering ratio.

> driving investors back into stocks due to a lack of somewhere else to go.

Favourited this as insightful, and because this agrees with my own assessment of the situation. You can't take money "out of the market" because there is no outside, just as the environmentalists say you cannot throw things away because there is no away.

There are vast hundreds of billions that cannot exit the market. Everything from oligarchs to 401ks to the Norwegian pension fund (which owns a little chunk of Gamestop!). There is nowhere else to go.

Conversely there are a lot of "outsiders" who are looking for more and more radical strategies where they don't certainly lose, fed by information of increasing volume and deteriorating quality. They're just going to keep trying stuff that doesn't normally work.
This kind of thing has been shown in all sorts of creative endeavour. But it ignores consistency, which is the main mark of professionalism.

Yeah, if you disregard all rules and norms sometimes you come up with something AMAZING that no-one following the rules could ever conceive of.

But most of the the time it's just crap.
“Our goal is, and I feel pretty good about this goal, that we’ll be able to do a demonstration drive of full autonomy all the way from LA to New York, from home in LA to let’s say dropping you off in Time Square in New York, and then having the car go park itself, by the end of next year,” [Musk] said on a press call [in October 2016]. “Without the need for a single touch, including the charger.”

How much did you need to know about tech to realize that wasn't going to happen?
Netbooks' endgoal was to be ubercheap, the portability was an afterthought. Even aside from this ThinkPad model, there are plenty of high-end ultrabooks on the market that are not much less portable than the old netbooks.

So if coinbase was open source, and you had forked it to add BSV support, that’d mean coinbase was decentralized?! Open source/forkability != decentralization. The whole point of decentralization is no particular entity gets to decide something for everybody, and that’s precisely why it’ll take a long long time for regulators to be okay with it.

There exist other, larger ThinkPads that accommodate user upgradable RAM slots for those that need it. No product can be all things for all people. For example you can get the P1 with 64GB of memory.

As someone who splits his work between a 64GB workstation and a 16GB ultraportable, there are a ton of use cases where 16GB is a perfectly acceptable amount of memory. That said, 32GB of soldered memory is feasible in a ultra-portable these days so it would be nice for Lenovo to get with the times.
This is why r/wallstreetbets uses "hold" as a rallying cry. The interest continues to accrue with each day they hold out.

An obviously that's only to a point. If you get into this late you are definitely more likely to get burned. But it's clear some of these people genuinely seem to care about "wrecking hedge funds" as much as anything else.
Whoever has been selling into the funds which needed to cover shorts has been doing very well. As have those who were lending out the shares for the shorting.

Probably some of the early WSB pumpers have quietly sold while yelling at the community to hold, too.

However, we should always be careful with unrealized gains and losses. Those aren't confirmed until people exit their positions.

No, sorry, I don't remember anymore. But it was just a hobby server for a group of friends to use and we've given up since.

I just remember being forced to install docker and edit a docker-compose.yml, and then configs would show up in other parts of the system that were not the directory I was in.

Then finally I got the server and people could join but they couldn't see the others. Anyway, I probably didn't invest the right amount of time and focus to get it working.
Yes, that's fair and it's certainly more accurate, but I assume the OP is comparing the fees of Robinhood to those of other platforms. Robinhood tends to not have many of those advanced features that other brokerages still charge for, as far as I can tell. Is there a specific feature or features you were thinking of?
The point of the term "dark pattern" is to stop short of calling it malicious, deceptive or downright fraudulent. That's thin ice.

If this article was released with the term "malicious", the Amazon lawyers would come knocking. And the author would be in big trouble, because it's very difficult to prove malicious intent.

Next Generation Internet
Of course. :) I don't mean to patronise, and I hope you're not trolling, but I feel like you're missing the point a little. Using a "cloud" to store potentially sensitive documents or information is not comparable to collating your digital movements, usage history, habits, purchase information, etc.

It's not just about controlling the information, it's about collection in the first place. I want to store photos, and I need to store documents that are sensitive in a place that I can access them easily, and securely. These things are important to me. To me – individually – because they relate to me.

Collecting information about my online activity is not important to me. It is, however, important to advertisers, data brokers, and other players on some arbitrary scale of nefariousness.
Off the top of my head I recall etrade, fidelity, schwab, and TD ameritrade allowed people to buy GME. I understand being able to buy on margin has been restricted almost everywhere, though.
How does zuck's zuckle taste?
Market makers are incentivized to provide liquidity by the fact that they earn half the spread on average every time they trade. If a stock trades for 10 bid 11 offer then the market maker makes 1 every time they buy at 10 and sell at 11. They do this a very large number of times a day.

I'm not sure this still happens, but Marketmakers (and broker dealers) also used to earn rebates from new venues to incentivise them to trade on MTFs (multilateral trading facilities or alternative execution venues).

You'll hear a lot of people talking about market makers (eg Citadel) paying for flow. The common opinion is that this is because that flow contains information that the marketmaker can profit from. This is almost never the case, and in fact if the flow has alpha (positive or negative) or is overly directional that's not great for the marketmaker as they are forced to temporarily take the other side of that trade and try to find unwinds. Marketmakers want more flow because that makes it easier for them to do their job of hedging their inventory and unwinding positions with minimal impact. They are betting on the underlying math that if the flow gets large enough it becomes zero alpha by definition and they can just earn the spread.
I don't know why it's so hard to understand. I was somewhat specific about not wanting to hear from karma hoarders. Risk it or zip it. Otherwise discussion is just a race to the bottom.

Container School Project in Paris, France
Our quick introduced structures with high-strength building security in durable use keep on being liked in school projects in France. We had recently finished the development of two school structures in the country.

We set up our new school working for ENSCR University in Paris, which has almost 100 years of history. The school building, which we have arranged with our Karmod New Generation Container development model, will be utilized to meet the study hall needs of the Chemical Engineering Faculty of the college. Our two-story consolidated structure turned into the third school building we finished in France as Karmod.
That's why it's so fun to go to things like band competitions. Everybody plays about four songs. You see so much variety there. I guess it doesn't suit those people who just listen to the radio. Same about random small cafes or bars with live music.
I guess in the example given you could also validate behaviour by using a Spy Warehouse (a capturing stub).

The theoretical distinction with Mocks is that they contain their own assertions. The practical distinction (when using mocking frameworks) is often that they allow testing a SUT that depends on concrete classes, without subclassing them.
You might want to look a bit closer at Monzo, there was an entire episode of BBC's Watchdog [0] about them closing accounts and keeping people's money. Mine was frozen for well over a year with about three grand in it, no explanation, no apology. I only got it back in the end by involving the financial ombudsman via a website [1] specifically set up to help people who Monzo have scammed, because there are literally tens of thousands of them. Even then, no apology, no explanation - just an email one day telling me they were closing my account but at least giving me the option to transfer my own money out.

Having some traits that resemble autism isn't the same as having an atypical brain.

Autism doesn't just mean, "Damn this person is really awkward." If you look into the screening tools, you'll realize many of the questions are actually about sensory processing, not just human interaction.

If there were a spectrum of human awkwardness, sure, everybody could be on it somewhere, but that's not what the autism spectrum is.
Vaccines: Contract between European Commission and AstraZeneca now published
They were dismissive enough of retailers that it didn't even enter their feeble minds that they might need to be able to cover the costs of a real market manipulation, the kind that institutions do all the time without having these kinds of problems.

They were always working for their hedge fund investors. They just got a hard slap to the face by the people they claimed to be working for.

And honestly, I'm not very impressed by anyone who would defend them.
I had a reply here but on further thought I decided I would do some reading on Hancock’s contribution to the Younger Dryas hypothesis. Wiki not only suggests that he wasn’t the first but that his contributions to theories largely amount to other claims which are just as hard to substantiate (ie cyclical nature of impacts) [0].

So really it seems that he hasn’t contributed a huge amount to this field at all apart from being another voice amongst many, when the claim has still not been fully substantiated by the geological record. An area worthy of more study, but it’s hardly ‘his’ contribution

To say that this guy has thrown 10,000 darts and come up with hardly anything is absolutely an accurate way to characterise Hancock’s work.

I also think it’s quite disingenuous to claim that modern Egyptologists are unable to claim ‘how’ ‘water’ erosion exists there (or even if it is water erosion) - there’s not only a decent chunk of carbon dating from ie. The camps next to the pyramids used by the builders but on an Occam’s razor perspective the consensus is the one most substantiated by existing evidence.

And don’t go into an argument about how groupthink dictates too much of consensus, as a doctor and scientist I understand the need for alternative hyptheses and I’ve found Hancock’s theories to be very interesting, but he makes a literal living out of pareidolia - he sees faces in every group of shadows, and vociferously denies they were just shadows when the lights are turned on.

In the '90s I wrote a 6502 assembly-language program on my Atari 800 to convert my Atari Touch Tablet drawings into Windows BMPs. The only way I could figure out how to get the resulting files off the Atari was to transmit them over a modem to an IBM-compatible. I did so by running a BBS program on a Windows machine in one room of my parents' house and transmitting the files from the Atari in another room over the phone lines.

I was shocked when I opened the files in Windows and they were totally correct. And this was before anyone had Internet access, so I must have gotten the BMP spec from Microsoft's DevNet discs or something.

Amazing what we accomplished without the Internet.

I think this is how Steam solved (or attempted to) with their store reviews. Now you can see two scores, the lifetime score and the recents score.

In an ideal situation the app should show the 4. lifetime stars and the 1. recent stars. A user will them immediately know something happened, and investigate on their own (whether the review bombing was for something they care about or not).
Just because someone has some highly imaginative hopes and theories that you may personally find distasteful, does not a crank make, nor does it tarnish other stuff they've done, of course.

Unless you're comfortable with Newton being a crank for his alchemy, Oppenheimer being a crank for his mysticism, Turing being a crank for his desires, Galileo for his solar centrism, Harvard's Avi Loeb for his derelict alien ship, Chinese being cranks for TCM, and so many others.

It's funny how rational skepticism and "crank calling" (shaming?) rubs shoulders so closely with bigotry they're almost indistinguishable. But i suppose our beloved skeptics are apt to ignore that inconvenient interpretation. I just think that the propensity to think outside the box, and courageously push against the boundaries of (sometimes merely culturally normative, as in the case of TCM) orthodoxy, while also keeping connected to truth, is possibly one of the foundations of scientific genius, and seems to be something to be encouraged. At the very least, it's benign. I'm not quite sure why people seem to be so terrified of scientists who dare stand outside the herd, and propose new ideas.

Don't we have enough groupthink everywhere else (politics, think tanks, political science, education, religion), can't we have one place to celebrate dangerous ideas? Why wouldn't science be the perfect place for that?

I think it's possible your Hancockyness is a little overblown. Perhaps he's not quite the crank you think, tho he may be the crank you need.

WallStreetBets Founder Reckons with Legacy Amid Stock-Market Frenzy
WSB is just a fraction of the people buying GME but they are the irrational fraction, the one that will not sell and that is what is ultimately driving the profit incentive for people who are in it to make a lot of money.
Ask HN: How is GME not a pump-and-dump?
I've deliberately stayed away from WSB so far, but curiosity got the best of me now, and I took a look.

The amount of pumping behind GME is unbelievable. On of the top comments as of right now justifies burning a year's worth of income, just to stick it to Wall Street.

The thing is, I don't think anyone at Wall Street is touching this stock right now. The stock price is far too high for a buy grounded in fundamentals, and shorting this particular stock right now can backfire catastrophically, as we have seen.

This has the veneer of a crowd sticking it to someone they felt exploited by, but in the end, they're just being exploited by someone else.

Right now, the only ones benefiting from someone sticking a year's worth of incoming into GME are those doing the pumping.
