Returning EINTR is valid behaviour, but not when SA_RESTART is set. The POSIX documentation for sigaction[1] is quite clear about that, even if Apple's corresponding docs[2] are confusingly worded.

I've caught mine doing this but assumed it was carrier/google voice causing issues.
If you accept that (1) there is a substantial amount of mal-content that Google should censor, and (2) a key use case for federated messaging platforms is to evade censorship, and that (3) client applications can be functionally part of a federated messaging platform while legally separate from it, then those client applications are fair game to be censored when they deliver mal-content.

Now I may disagree with parts those precepts in stronger or weaker forms, but it is disingenuous to claim that the client application is exactly as legitimate as a web browser just because the client application is legally but not functionally separate from the federated network.
I did the same for a magazine that made cancellation all but impossible, using a virtual credit card. I switched the payment method for the subscription and set the card to deny all charges. Then I just had to endure two months of "you're losing access to your subscription" spam. :/
It's interesting to me that this delineates between facts and personal experience as if personal experience doesn't occupy the same space as facts. Perhaps a more useful way to think about people's relation to truth is one of proximity. For a given individual, their personal experience is entirely factual, and because it is also most proximate to them, it is weighted the most highly. Intuitively, I think we understand this, so we tend to weight other people's experiences similarly, knowing that those are as proximate to them as our experiences are to us.
Can anyone with Robinhood confirm what kind of agreement this is? Is it just a EULA? Obviously IANAL, but I cannot see how such agreements are legally binding if they don't even require a signature.

In a theoretical world where I had to sign a EULA, I'd never sign any of them and I imagine most people wouldn't either.
If you use a bitcoin mixer then it cannot be traced. That's the whole point of mixers.
Sure, where do I sign?

I get what you're saying, and I agree. I would waive health/social benefits if I were allowed to experiment stuff on myself. Zero liability for the state.

Of course, that's a move only for the desperate whom the system failed over and over again. At that point, why not?
If that site is really working as intended then there will be no surprise with all of this?

Color me skeptical.
The current, easiest, internet business model is user surveillance. If you facilitate people interacting between each other, without needing yourself, makes it harder to monitor their movements.

But there are successful apps like torrents and crypto currency. Bitcoin was extremely successful, and revolutionary.
There are also successful enterprise decentralized apps.

And further, for example, bitcoin was created by someone, but it does not, and cannot, belong to anyone now.

So you would have to come up with a new, good, and stable, business model, revolutionary even. And also a good federated model for content discovery, to unify the user experience, or community.
I was exposed to typing lessons, which helped give me the idea that using all fingers and memorizing where keys are is important. I sort of stopped halfway and ran with it I guess.
that doesn't change the responsibility angle. granted, I might be more acutely aware of it because I've always bought used vehicles.
So you think it's a coincidence that most of these brokers around the world were having pretty biased "incompetence" right when the hedgefonds attacked? How convenient.
An incredible talent that was only getting started.
Exactly so.

Amazon is incredibly good at converting consumer surveillance data in to money. They could easily default this (and many other things) to sensible per-user values. Given their competence and attention to detail, the reasonable guess here is that playing dumb on this default pays better than doing right by the user.
In a related vein, is there any sort of theoretical transform that can be used to convert cyclic dependencies into a tree? Similar to how lambda lifting eliminates free variables. (Other than the obvious one of treating the entire cycle as one node)
Everyone who has permanent residency in Canada has a path to apply for citizenship, in principle. I do feel that is reasonable, even morally necessary. In practice it typically takes about 7 years from landing.
> there is an 8 year time gap between the release of 7 and XP

Which is why the metaphor is off. Safari+WebKit and Chrome+Blink are being developed in parallel and competing with one another. They're not two releases in the same product line where one is the dead forebear and the other a successor.

> it's not terribly pedantic to insist that Windows 7 is, in fact, built on top of Vista and not XP

What? That wasn't the topic. None of this is relevant.

The topic is which engine Chrome is using. Explaining that Chrome doesn't use WebKit isn't pedantic. However, when someone does explain it, for someone else to appear and point out that the engine it uses is forked from WebKit—a nugget of information that changes nothing about the discussion—is pedantic.

I think you're responding at this point for the pleasure of feeling like you're having a conversation, or you're still misinformed about which browsers use which engines. WebKit is not Blink, and Chromium is using the latter, not the former. That's the whole point of this entire digression.

That would do really weird economic things because either money would have to be something you really want since your basic needs are already covered, or the job would have to be very rewarding because you can basically choose not to go into work arbitrarily.

Nope, since when do you need to do that when using file IO or database connections?

The library code down at the bottom layer might do that, depending on how the bindings to the APIs are implemented, but it won't be necessarily exposed to the code you are writing yourself.

For example, doing SQL statements isn't unsafe { }.
We do, and thanks for mentioning it, it's worth bringing up.

Well, I never said this will make corruption more difficult, or even that it's aimed towards reducing it.

Just that it will make cryptocurrency use/facilitation illegal, and thus prone to fines/jail time.
Perverse incentives.

When the prisoners make the prison owners (public or private) more money than they cost, there is pressure to imprison more people and for longer. That can lead to pressure on the enforcers to look harder for infractions… but they might turn a blind eye to infractions by their friends and bosses[0]. Pretty soon, you get feudalism.

To be honest, people will eventually return. RH is the cost leader by a wide margin and its very unique to its business model via data arrangement with Citadel. In aggregate, total savings they pass down to retail traders is in the billions. With options trading at all time high, savings for 2020 was likely in tens of billions.

Edit: upon looking at some aggregate data via OCC, appears I overestimated savings.

Its quite clear why they want to do this at this point of time. The problem is the floating rate of USD/INR as seen by BTC/INR or any stable currency/INR is slipping like crazy since they started providing stimulus to economy last year. Its so bad, that there is a hair cut of around 8% regardless of the platform. This is only going to become worse as more money is going to be printed this year to get the economy back on track.

That's good. I switched away from IRC to Discord back around 2016 because it was tedious to use with mobile networks. Discord has served the community I moderate pretty well, but I am always concerned that the company will go under some day.

What about the WebRTC part?

The post ends at RTP out from FFMPEG. Maybe I’m supposed to know how to consume that with WebRTC but in my investigation it’s not at all straightforward... the WebRTC consumer needs to become aware of the stream through a whole complicated signaling and negotiation process. How is that handled after the FFMPEG RTP stream is produced?
I would take you more seriously if you spoke more concretely. What other effects, specifically? I’ll give you one: it distributes wealth by letting the common man invest in highly valuable companies rather than limiting it to just wealthy people profiting from entrepreneurship. I’ll bet you you and people like you wouldn’t be too happy if only the original founders of companies like Apple, Facebook, Google and their descendants owned those companies. Do you know how I know? Because Jeff Bezos owns just 11% of his own company and people still hate him despite that the other near 90% has made other people very wealthy too. Now imagine he owned 100% of it. That’s what you’re advocating for. If you think Jeffy boy would be more generous to his employees if he owned all of it, then you must not know the realities of most family owned businesses.

8. There is no reason to give equal votes to all states. Why should citizes have unequal voting power ?. It is undemocratic in the U.S, The amount of power conservatives is disproportionate to the actual percentage of the population that wants them.

7. Jury system is not without its flaws. You talk about colonial era policy reformation. Juries are a commonwealth tradition! Mostly colonial countries have them. india had them till the 50-60s, it was intentionally removed as part of justice reformation.

5. In a federal or union government the state should have this power. The integrity of the state requires this power. This excerise of this power needs strong checks and balances in place , but lack of adequate controls is not a reason not to remove it entirely.

6. Elected officials always have final decision making power. Civil servants are career professionals sure have the ability to influence the decision making in what and how they present information to elected officials, abolishing civil service is basically like having a company with only senior management and no middle management. Who will execute the policy decisions?

4. Governor's power in states (not union territories or ncr) is actually pretty limited and largely ceremonial. The president and governors are artefacts of transforming from a colony. They don't have much power constitutionally by design. Electing them won't solve the problems of the office, they will just influenced by corruption by needing votes as before .

> As mentioned in other threads, robinhood wasn't able to come up with the deposit needed for their customers trades.

That's not true, they only blocked trades on those specific stocks. If it was really a liquidity issue then they could have rate limited all trades equally regardless of the stock in question.
H.264 and most other modern codecs support “intra refresh” to avoid this problem, at the cost of a marginally higher bitrate overall. Think of this as a “rolling keyframe slice” which marches across the screen every few seconds.

2013 Volt owner. What you are saying is, on paper, true I guess. The actual situation of me and all my Volt friends is that the cars are VERY reliable. I have 128K miles (105K EV miles) so my engine has only 22K miles after 7 years. Besides tires, ONE oil change and a front-end CV issue -- I've spent zero on maintenance.

FWIW, my next car will be a Model Y.
I don't find it particularly surprising that optimizing for efficiency makes systems more predictable -- efficient implementations often lie in a local minimum that are independently discoverable.
I don't have a Robinhood account, and I'm not involved in the GME/WSB stuff, but I would think twice about opening a Robinhood account now.

Indeed, it's been educational about which brokers are using other clearing houses (sorry if I get the terminology wrong), and which are direct.

But then badly behaved businesses like Godaddy don't seem to suffer or go out of business, so I suspect Robinhood won't have too many long term problems.

In Sweden, if you're from outside the EU, you can get citizenship after 5 years working in the country. I believe that for EU citizens it's less than that.

In many other countries, like Australia and (I think?) Canada, for example, one can become a citizen after 4 years living and working in the country.

While I haven’t obviously seen this new series yet, this article portrays it to be about how our lack of collective narrative is holding us back. Perhaps we need to be open to new narratives, which will never be perfect, but can help us move toward a better future.

From what I’ve learned, narratives are not the only sources to withhold trust from. Information presented as fact or truth from seemingly reputable sources also should receive the same critical thought.

As with many things - ‘it depends’. You’ll certainly crank up some terrible hour counts running purely off a generator, but for only 2kw continuous you can size a generator that will sip fuel. Depending on local fuel prices, it could take many many years before solar would be even close cost wise.

If only 2kw peak, a common strategy is generator to charge a battery bank, also charge when possible the bank with solar, and run inverters off the batteries (or switchover to the generator when charging the bank). Some people just skip the solar panels. Solar has many problems with unpredictability, and if you need to be sure you’ll have power year round, it isn’t a good idea to rely on it 100% without some other way to charge or supplement it. Dedicated off grid folks always have a generator in my experience, even if it rarely has to get fired up.

Sizing a battery bank to give you enough excess to not worry about a freak 2 weeks of bad weather in winter is extremely expensive and has other issues (like not being able to properly cycle or maintain all the batteries due to lack of peak power)

Robinhood would be liable for any margin accounts that were unable to settle their balances by the end of the allotted term. It's very reasonable that they restricted trades based on their liability.

Did it have the deleterious affect of negatively impacting anyone long on the stock, probably. But, was that the primary rationale? It'll have to come out in discovery.

In Europe, mandatory arbitration are usually unlawful. European Union Council Directive 93/13 on Unfair Terms in Consumer Contracts creates a rebuttable presumption that pre-dispute arbitration clauses in consumer contracts are invalid. The reason is the unequal bargaining power between the contracting parties in consumer contracts.
Yes. This would be new legal territory, but not radically new (IANAL). USG would certainly pick the case and the court to try it in carefully in order to establish the precedent.

> I very much doubt Poland would align with Russia. They hate them since forever.

Germany and France were eternal enemies too. Now we cannot imagine Europe without both countries. If we kick Poland out of EU, the anti-EU sentiment will grow and Russia will be the only available partner in the region. At the same time Poland will have a strategic card in their hand. So they will do what they have to do.

Look the numbers look like:

"Intra-EU trade accounts for 80% of Poland’s exports (Germany 28%, Czechia and France both 6%), while outside the EU 3% go to both Russia and the United States.

In terms of imports, 69% come from EU Member States (Germany 27%, the Netherlands 6% and Italy 5%), while outside the EU 8% come from China and 7% from Russia."

So if EU kicks Poland out, who are going to be the next partners?

> Who "needs" what? Exploiting cheap labor from Poland only works for Germany, because legal working standards and payment is allowing for this. German people would benefit too, if general exploitation was fought against.

That's just populism.

> The industry needs cheap workforce. Capitalism needs a cheap workforce. Economic growth and exploitation of natural ressources needs a cheap workforce.
> If we want to survive the shitshow ahead, a lot of things need to change. Compromising with populism and cultural degeneration is contra-productive.

That's just populism too.

So IMO, you want to fight populism with populism and fight for diversity, killing the cultural diversity in Europe.
