> 100k reviews left in 2 days probably shouldn't have the same weight as 100k reviews left over 2 years.

I'm not entirely sure I agree with this; let me offer another perspective and maybe you can talk through this with me and help me understand a little better. A review is an opportunity for a user to give their honest feedback to any prospective user and (incidentally) to the app developer(s), so a bunch of reviews bombing an app into oblivion has the potential to be wasteful and harmful (unauthentic negative ratings from competitors, like you mentioned). But on the other hand if Firefox mobile has average reviews and I don't leave any kind of review since I've been fairly satisfied with my experience with the app for the eight or so years I've been using android, then they release Firefox Daylight and completely ruin the experience for me, preventing me from doing things I've been able to do for years and fundamentally tanking the experience, should a five star review from 2017-18 be considered more relevant than my 2 star review from 2020? And the other thousands of 1 star reviews flooding in after the update? What if a company has a bad app, changes their process from waterfall to agile (sorry, had to inject a little humor here), overhauls their app, and gets a huge influx of positive reviews the same day as the release. Do the negative reviews left over time have more relevance than the positive reviews left after the update?

I'm not trying to take a position on what the right approach is, I'm hoping to understand a perspective that's different from mine :).
> It gets 30% of sales and in-app purchases. Facebook doesn't use either as far as I know.

Facebook does have IAP, as already discussed in other sub-comments.

> If they'd foreseen influential companies like Facebook creating APIs which were widely spread through the App Store, they'd have likely closed this door a long time ago.

It's been more than 12 years since the App Store opened. Apple didn't need perfect foreknowledge to take action long before now.
Then the clearinghouse should fail, rather than the private actors saved.

Once one accepts that "socialized risk and private profits" isn't acceptable, then one must also accept that either we must allow even the too big to fail actors to fail, or we must not accept any actor to be too big to fail at all.

If public money is used to rescue a bank or clearinghouse, then the public should own it. A government institution can buy any failing bank/clearing house/ if it's so vital, and then the public owns it. Buying a commercial bank or clearing house at cents for the dollar and then selling it again in better times isn't necessarily a bad idea. It's certainly a better idea in terms of moral hazard than simply "bailing out" banks without ownership.
That doesn't mean the same people. Gamestop does have a long term plan. If it works out the company can be worth money. Buying Gamestop for $2 at the bottom in a few months might be a reasonable risk for the final person holding the bag.

And they also really can't model the depth of the possible ways to close a short position, e.g. synthetic long positions, swaps, and other fancy financial wizardry that is above and beyond just buying one share per share you're short immediately.
Fair enough, it's more the condescending attitude that rubs me up the wrong way. And if the words regulators use mean to them different things than they mean to everyone else (the people whom the regulations are ostensibly supposed to protect), that's probably interesting in itself! If you are charged with 'theft' under a law that defines 'theft' in a very different way to how you or your peers would define it, that's probably going to be a problem. So I'm all for a discussion on what the jargon actually means, if anyone has any insights beyond making general snipes at the HN community.
>I have heard zero suggestion anywhere that they would be used for any kind of tracking
Yet it could.

GP just said Apple has the info and it can't be turned off.

Which I find interesting in the context of the PDF above.
There still isn't anything there that Erlang doesn't already have, excepting the theoretically-strong reference capabilities...which is what got me watching pony for a couple years.

Pony needs to have something that shows how it's references are more/differently useful in a multi-actor program. I suspect that's a tall order.
> 3. Too busy to use the very internet which some of them probably helped build to magically render learning materials to the screen in front of them at zero marginal cost.

I will say that I’m not too busy for this at the moment, and getting to my very basic level of understanding has required me to sort through, at the very least, a fairly decent chunk of reference material and reading interpretations and explanations online.

Like, here’s some things I’ve been grappling with understanding recently:

How do settlement risk, clearing brokers, and clearinghouses work? Why does buying an ordinary stock carry so much settlement risk?

Why do market makers buy stock for delta hedging? How do they figure out how much stock to buy?

To make an analogy, it feels like I’m some kid in chemistry class who just learned how to draw bond diagrams, and then I watch a video of someone talking about how they figured out the structure of some chemical using Raman spectroscopy.
Maybe there is something like the burden of knowledge at play here. The more you know about design, the harder it is to design unpredictable games. In other words, because they know less about game design, hobbyists have less fear, are less judgmental, and can come up with more mercurial results.
Email me, I have done the testing on M1 systems recently (I bought one just for the purpose!).
These vague claims this will impact the ability of apparently all small businesses are blown way out of proportion. Small businesses did just fine before FB.

If you run an Italian restaurant, how does this impact you? You can still sell advertising to Facebook users in your area because Facebook itself has your location. Facebook still knows you eat at Italian restaurants every Tuesday night because they buy your credit information.

Facebook still has piles of user information to sell targeted advertising against. So tell me again, how is this impacting small businesses advertising?
Pony actors look similar to the python ray package actor api.

If anyone from the Pony teams sees this, are actors in Pony conceptually similar to actors created with ray?
What's the data-conversion overhead look like at the boundary? Which data structures can be passed back and forth without a full clone, etc?

Science money is very limited. Space science money more limited. Space science money to get components on rovers yet more limited. Telescope time is also limited. Mission time on remote probes is also limited.

So you devise an experiment to measure oxygen absorption that uses a probe's existing mass spectrometer. Your experiment doesn't cut into the probe's mass budget so it basically is just a scheduling issue. If your experiment is bumped from the mission schedule there's not compromising the probe or total mission. You've got a pretty good chance of getting that experiment on the docket.

This is contrary to a nutrient experiment that eats into the probe's mass budget and mission time. If the sensors are dedicated to the experiment that's less mass for other sensors. Even if you got approved if you can't built the experiment to be reliable and survivable it won't get approved.

Similar is true for trying to measure CFCs on exoplanets. There's a handful of instruments that can even get spectra from exoplanets and even then only from transiting ones and even then only has giants so far. Even if we could detect CFCs in terrestrial planet atmospheres, CFCs do not stay in the atmosphere very long so you'd only detect them (from a technological civilization) for a very short window of time. The odds of finding them are vanishingly low with current instruments. No one is going to return your e-mails if you propose observations of CFCs because it's a snipe hunt wasting valuable and limited instrument time. If you're a serious researcher you'd know this already and wouldn't waste people's time. Methane is a general purpose biomarker and is something far more likely to be found. Since you've got a limited stars you can even gather information from the time is better spent on the more likely observation.

“But, the deeper issue is the US financial system and its molasses speed of moving money around.”

Sorry, I’m going to be That Guy here and point out that when people accuse Bitcoin of having slow transactions, this is what they should be comparing against, not Visa card transactions. Actual settled transactions. Bitcoin takes 10 minutes. US financial system takes days.
Really, anyone that has been surfing more than a handful of time in Montréal heard about them already, it's no secret.

But very few "kooks" are interested in surfing them, survival instinct works pretty well.

Dr. Burry was trained as a medical doctor and started investing on the side.

As has been stated elsewhere, it is easier to recover from alienating customers than it is from running afoul of the SEC. They ran a very real risk of being forcibly shut down by regulators if they didn't slow trading.
Of course! Many are living hand-to-mouth in dismal conditions and unable to afford basic necessary expenses, while they see robber barons making a killing by putting thousands of already-poor people out of work.

Hating the hedge funds is rational, for many.
>> 6. Builds a fantasy World of [X] from first principles around that definition

That is most every online discussion these days. I would only add "first principals learned at highschool and/or undergrad". The real scientists/lawyers/doctors with deep backgrounds in fields, the ones who dare to talk online, stand out like sore thumbs.
Good link. They look a lot better than a lot of condos. I don't believe this is a failure.

The article is one opinion and it is shallow in content.

Looks very livable unlike many condos built in 1967.
Sure, app crashes undermine confidence in Robinhood.

But, if you're a buy and hold investor, it shouldn't be an issue.
Why would firefighters not be civilians?
To be fair, professional medical advice was especially low-quality in the early days of the pandemic. What was important was public health messaging, picking some lowest-common-denominator messages and having everyone repeat them. It wasn't hard to be better informed than that.
The No-Mullets Principle (How to regulate social media)
I need to throw a million +1's at the `rr` suggestion. it's really great. It's a shame that it doesn't work on ARM processors, but there are good fundamental reasons why it doesn't (it's basically impossible iirc[0])

EDIT - just to mention, rr is mostly compatible with gdb, so frontends such as gdb-many-windows in emacs can work with it.

In terms of U.I's I found `gdb-many-windows` to be the nicest i found. While I hate almost everything about the platform, I have to concede that visual studio's debugging integration is actually really good. The only thing I found annoying was that I needed to use Visual Studio for it! (emacs on windows could be annoying enough that I got used to it eventually, but still preferred my linux environment. This is back when working on a cross platform C++ project if that much weren't already clear).

I'm certainly no expert in the rules at play here, but I can't fathom how posting on a public forum and saying "let's all go buy $GME and screw these hedge fund guys!" would not be absolutely protected by the First Amendment. There's no fraud or anything like that, and you're not posting anything false or misleading about the company.

If a bunch of people feel like it's a good idea and want to join in, then it is what it is.

Of course, an outsider can't simply declare something to be true by dint of being an outsider. You need to reason it. Or, in the market, bet on it, and you'll see who wins out. But experts should be held to the same standard.

...I am not sure that I disputed that. What I said was: the reason why LEH didn't get bailed out was because the stock was worthless, and mgmt mismanaged that from day one (even towards the end, LEH was trying to sell its real estate at book...this isn't hard). And then Fuld went around telling everyone he should have got bailed out (btw, if you went into a meeting with other banks and started telling them they should give you money for nothing...do you think that wouuld have went down well?).
Some variation of "If you owe a bank thousands, you have a problem, but if you owe a bank millions, the bank has a problem" probably applies here.

If crazy retail investors can bankrupt Robinhood or other over-leveraged brokerage firms, that's also a win for the little guys.

I have no love for the SEC, but it sure did sound like you said they didn't do anything about it when they clearly did.

> If one thinks WSB or retail in this are the problem, you haven’t been paying attention.

More shifting use of "you" in context. It'll be interesting if we can teach an AI to understand these types of confusing and conflicted statements.
Not yet, but you can kinda see it from the data. For Pfizer it was 60-70 after one dose already, iirc
This is why I frown upon people who hop jobs or teams within a year. To be truly productive and effective large scale systems require at least a year of time.
Here's the thing, though - and please correct me if I'm wrong: it's not just Robin Hood. Many other trading apps blocked GME buys yesterday and today, and some of them are blaming this on banks and brokerages upstream of the apps.

That to me looks like the clearing houses themselves are worried, which means the whole thing poses a risk (even if easily mitigated) to the greater market.
Can you link to the papers that were available in March 2020 that showed that masks are effective?

Use any definition of "mask" and "effective" you want, but preferably effective should include some concept of "prevents spread of respiratory disease".

Covid is a serious illness. Far too many people have been told, and believe, that they can continue their normal day to day life so long as they put mask on. This is untrue, and this advice has driven mass infection and death.
No matter how hard I squint, I can't find the reason to believe these are only false claims ( your words ).

You could interpret it as an insightful observation rather than an argument to delete all comments.
^ This. Cops aren’t your friends. They can and will use anything you say against you, never for you, in a court of law.

I’m not saying we don’t need them. I’m saying they aren’t your friend. Never underestimate the ability of a cop to twist the truth. In court, a cop has the fullest faith of the courts even if they don’t show up. Defending yourself against what a cop says happened is almost impossible. It can be done though.

UX writing
Writing is the unsung hero of UX. People speak highly of coding, which is a skill that shouldn’t be dismissed, but writing is a talent that can be nurtured over less time to create brilliant user experiences. Pick up your phone and look at any of your apps and it will be filled with perfectly crafted words.

Reddit stock traders, some of whom are professional, have consistently beaten the market by using collective action.
I agree in principle. Then in real life example you will have real doctors and nurses giving conflicting advices and having wildly different viewpoints on the details.

The easy to point to example is how a lot of doctors viewed masks at the beginning of the pandemic. Or how trickle down economics is also endorsed by experts. Or experts opinions on mental health drugs. And so many other subjects where it won’t be hard to find an expert on the dumb side of the argument.

I think we should rely on experts, but we can’t dismiss people’s doubts or research just with a “I’ve seen a real doctor” slight of hand.

I have been interested for years in Data Programming, a weird expression coined by Christopher Ré (PR at Stanford). Basically, the idea is to be able to automatically apply filters on your data before building your model in an ML pipeline. This version of Lisp comes with data structures and pattern matching expressions, to detect some regular patterns in your data... This is the reason why we also have implemented a Python library so that your sieves can be called from within your Python code beforehand.

That's what they said about hot jupiters. Exoplanets could have been detected decades earlier had there not been a consistent bias against the idea of large objects orbiting so near host stars, a bias based on a single data point (our solar system).
Many might be FOMOing, but few want to be told that they're too dumb to be given this power.
