Honestly when I saw this link prior to the edit it was less interesting due to how topical it was. Now it’s more interesting and carries an historical aspect.
Contains a post about the AGPL, which specifically does not go into detail about the GPL but just the difference between them.

Not super helpful
There's a difference. You can't physically centralize energy production. Local energy price will increase when more energy is used. This ensures that no one can get in a position of control. In PoS, it's possible to get > 50% ownership, and it's game over.
No it’s not. It’s legal and permitted and therefore not fraud. It’s backstopped to prevent losses. This is a talking point with no basis.

Let’s stick to fact.
Short-selling shares is basically a form of fractional reserve banking. A short squeeze is essentially equivalent to a bank run. Where is the FDIC helping to backstop a run on shares?
Read between the lines. They didn't have a liquidity issue after they disallowed the buying of stocks that had the 100% capital requirement from the clearing houses; hence, they no _longer_ had a liquidity issue.
> WSB users are known

That's a dubious way to refer to people. There are 7.5 million users in the sub at the moment.
Fair, although I think 99.9% of the value is in the trick Linux is doing here. The handshake is at once the most complicated part (which means you don't really want it in Ring Zero) and the part you're most likely to want to customise (e.g. OCSP stapling is in the handshake, certificate compression is in the handshake, SNI handling is in the handshake, and so on) which means that's the part an application author is least likely to be satisfied with being done on their behalf.

Notice that in Linux because sockets "are" file descriptors you actually can put all connection and handshake work into a separate processes altogether, and just pass the socket (now TLS encrypted) to a process that pumps data back and forth, without it needing to be aware of TLS at all.
Cool concept I would use this with my friends
It’s not a bank run, it’s poor risk management and the FDIC doesn’t insure brokerages, that’s the SIPC. Poor risk management is very much not covered by any federal program. Their liabilities are between them and their brokers, and if contagion spreads, their private insurers. This is why you can only short in a margin account and are required to put up collateral.

If you sold short 140% of float and bought calls to cover, then we wouldn’t be having this conversation. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Similarly if I bought a bunch of stuff on margin and it went under overnight, RIP my account. You can lose money in both directions.

“140% of float” doesn’t really mean more shares were sold than exist. There are after all only 100%. It means the same shares were sold more than once by the same or different people, and buying them back cancels the debt obligation.
If I recall, both stock and option market makers were allowed to fail to deliver, which would typically be cheaper than cost of borrowing, which made it another good source of edge that was unavailable to non-market makers.
Yeah, as I recall we've seen this happen on the rare occasion cities built enough housing to cause the market to weaken. All the property companies stop building the moment it starts to happen because they know they're at risk of ending up with a load of housing they can only offload at a loss, and that can easily bankrupt them.

I’ve been trying to buy a tesla roof and powerwalls for over a year. That whole side of the company was missing in action for all of 2020, yet they post record profits. Their reliance on credits explains the discrepancy.

Having said that, sign me up for multiple vehicles once I’m energy independent! I see no problem with them using credits to bootstrap carbon neutral transportation.

Simply holding land is not a service to anyone, no. Land is also literally not capital.

A 100% occupancy rate naturally doesn't happen as people move from neighborhood to neighborhood and from city to city. You don't need to squeeze poor people until they have no choice but to sever their safety nets and move out to have a few percent of slack.
I hear this argument a lot and have a genuine question.

How does Bitcoin electricity usage compare to something that achieves a similar goal?

A good example is gold—many people compare Bitcoin to gold. What are the relative electricity costs of the two, and does that justify the cost of either asset? This would take into account the electricity costs of mining, labor, supply chain, storage, etc.
It's interesting that, while a completely different world, Unix workstations are still somewhat useful. They'll happily run things like Emacs, let you ssh anywhere, and even run some apps over X (although modern Unix graphical apps can stress the network when running remotely). Last time I tried, Eclipse and NetBeans worked fine over a 10Mbps link.

Fiat currencies will probably always exist.

Digital crypto assets like Bitcoin or Ethereum will exist alongside them. Bitcoin can be an asset like gold, of which users keep a portion of their networth to protect from economic uncertainty.

Its deflationary policy may make it less usable as a currency, but at least crypto gives people choice.

Only if you walk away from the experience thinking about it, processing it, perhaps thinking differently yourself.

Few television shows did that for me — "Connections" is a HN favorite and changed my way of thinking.

Several books by Kurt Vonnegut (and Dune as well, FWIW) also changed how I think about the world.

Content is important is my point.
Isn't the saying "Trust, but verify"
Most developers log in to LayerCI via GitHub or GitLab - so if you have a GitHub plan with SSO, you'll get SSO with Layer as well.

We even support self-hosted GitLab, so if you use a custom SSO provider there, developers could use that oauth flow for authentication + authorization.
It feels like Lisp scales vertically and Java scales horizontally.

Java scales for number of developers, its idioms and ecosystem make it easier to have tons of developers on a single project.

Lisp scales on the size of problem that a small close knit team can solve.

Things like the macro system in Lisp encourage defining your own problem specific DSL, which is great for individual developer productivity, but bad for involving lots of developers.
> It’s in Apple’s interests to foster a broad community of “Apple platform developers”. To inspire and encourage developers to rely on Apple’s platforms to build apps that are exclusive to those platforms. Apple benefits promotionally from such exclusivity, and users benefit from apps that are crafted to take advantage of native platform features.

As a user of multiple operating systems it saddens me that exclusivity is seen as a benefit. Often only the platform owner truly benefits. Any marginal benefit to users is usually eclipsed and in the long run only reinforces centralization of power and markets.
My guess would be shipping costs from the manufacturers to stores. I'd hazard a guess they have their man production in Scandinavia/western Europe rather than Russia.
The average person with a Visa credit card has no idea how blockchain works, just like they don't know how traditional payment processors work. Unfortunately, with the amount of bad press constantly generated by media companies that are inherently linked with existing financial systems, people's ideas of crypto are probably overwhelmingly negative. This a great step towards building trust with the public, IMO.

So what's the other option? Apple world where browsers are crippled and everyone builds software for proprietary platforms with gatekeepers?
> own a company

No "owned the publicly traded shares of a company". Those shares are almost certainly non-ownership, voting shares. And if they are it's possible/probable that founders/investors/others hold an arbitrarily large multiple of traded shares or options for shares or convertible bonds or whatever.

What he owns is (somewhere in the line of creditors) the right to some part of assets if it's dissolved (sold, enters bankruptcy) exact triggers and rights are complex and varied.
Christ, what a user-hostile platform FB is.
The article mentions that French was his first foreign language. He picked up Russian to read his first calculus book, then English to do an Oxford maths degree. And you're unlikely to be a doctoral student in philology and know only one foreign language, so he had undoubtedly learned at least one other language between the French and the Russian. People don't always realise just how scary serious students of linguistics are.
Yes, even before colonial times, this sort of thing is ancient. Being a Frenchman in Britain 400 years ago you would find yourself in the disdainful company if not outright contempt of your peers. These countries fought 100 year war despite being extremely close from a racial perspective. And you had this same pattern play out all over the world. Indian tribes and nations warred with each other, slaughtered each other, sacrificed each other. Asians, Africans, Mediterranean empires, etc. There is no point in history you can go back to where these dynamics are not in play. It's the remarkable achievement of the past 100 or so years that we move relatively freely in most of the first world today without fear of violence or extreme bigotry. Tribalism is the rule of human history, not the exception. And U.S. was for better or worse a proving ground for how a multicultural and multiracial society could work. No doubt that came with sacrifices and tragedies, but I suspect without those, we'd not have had much change in the world.
No problem, it's a really neat domain and there's a fascinating intersection of physics + math(you can reconstruct freq mixers/modulation with a basic trig foundation) and practical application that makes radio a really cool space.

I also think that there's still untapped potential for secondary services and the like so it wasn't my intention to dissuade anyone form picking one up and giving it a try.
Ther other path is to view browsers as viewers of sometimes
dynamic documents. There is a certain power in limiting the amount of expressiveness in the web - it allows for a lot more creative repackaging.

Unfortunately this path doesn't allow for much targetted advertising opportunities, so that's why Google et al wisely abandoned this path. ( /s )
I meant the conversion to ECH. eSNI has had proof-of-concept support built in for a while and, had it worked out better, could have been deployed publicly any day now. The new extension, ECH, will need significant testing and development until it can reach the same level of support again.

The concept is the clear and obvious way forward in web security; what's the point in encrypting DNS when the SNI is still readable. I'm also glad that eSNI has been dropped because of the obvious flaws found in it rather than continuing attempts to secure an inherently flawed protocol. However, this does mean that deployment will take longer than previously estimated, which is kind of a bummer.

Honestly, I feel millions of us (billions?) have died a little inside with the rise of Facebook and the like.

But I'm speaking metaphorically, of course.
It's easy to quantify with Bitcoin, less so than gold. Transportation, security, all those things lead to gold being an inefficient store of value. At least with cryptocurrencies, many are being actively worked on that contribute much less to energy expenditure.
Electricity can be generated from dirty sources or clean sources.

We are trending towards clean, renewable energy as it gets cheaper. And hopefully taxing/limiting dirty fuels.
You missed my point entirely. I never compared past atrocities as it is unfair to the current generation. What I compare is the current state of affairs.

Germany today is giving shelter and free healthcare to refugees but apparently not CEO positions.

The US is gunning down blacks and forcefully taking children of refugees away from their parents but some immigrants became CEO of large companies which apparently makes the US more immigration-friendly and less racist than Germany.
Visa is in the payments business. The US Federal Reserve ("The Fed") is going live with an instant payments service in 2023-2024 [1] [2]. What does that leave Visa with? Hence, the existential crisis (first, trying to buy Plaid, and now "Crypto!").

> I have never heard the addendum "warrior" added as a self-description, and have only ever heard it applied as a term of mockery from the right.

I'm reluctant to name specific individuals, but there are people who embrace the "SJW" term for themselves. For example, the flair next to the username of this semi-famous developer[0] is a self-description that he is known for.[1]

Perhaps you could argue that he is being ironic, but it is a self-description and he certainly doesn't mean to mock people who identify that way.

Pretty much everyone I followed as a blogger circa 2006-08 is still writing. Generally they’ve moved on to greater prominence. A substantial chunk of them are on substack now.

You don’t have blogrolls anymore nor a blogosphere, but the writers are all there. It’s just those of us who follow that are now a tiny fraction of users. But the rewards to that kind of writing have actually increased.

After all liabilities are deducted. Which usually means nothing.

> I enabled large fonts.

In Windows, large fonts is basically 125% (120 dpi, vs the base 96 dpi, double for @2X HiDPI), except it enlarges only fonts and pushes dialog controls around, but doesn't touch raster assets. It is something that was part of Windows since '90s, but in many applications, it newer worked right, because the developers never knew about the option and newer tested it (looking at most Delphi developers here).

Changing scaling to 125% (since Windows 8 and 10) changes both font sizes, grid calculations in windows controls and bitmaps; the subtle brokenness of some apps disappears, just to be replaced by another set of subtle brokeness. However, the good news is, that the chance of developers testing in this mode is higher than them testing Large fonts.

I also have 1080p 14" laptop somewhere; at 100%/dpi the display is too tiny, at 125% it is great. I also used to have 1600x900 14" laptop (T430s) - that one, at 100% was perfect (except it was an TN display, which was different downside). Prior to that, 1440x900 (T400) - that one was a bit too large.
If someone were to take this seriously, a node-based image editor on the web is well-overdue, from a technology and UI perspective.

Apple (nreal) Shake is exactly 25 years old today, and many other interactive framerate node-based image tools (nuke/smoke/fusion/touchdesigner/substance painter) run on machines with a fraction of the compute a web browser has nowadays.

p.s - the backend makes you much slower, most of these image transformations are less than 10 lines of non-shader code :)
It's times like this that common sense definitions of terms like "naked short selling," "market manipulation" and such turn out to be very different from the operable ones.
Summary:

Every so often, someone gets very steamed about short selling, often with no real reason. Back in 2005, someone got very steamed about short selling, and then got a journalist to write a somewhat confused article about it. It's not clear anything was actually wrong then, but in any case, the rules have been changed a few times since then, so there doesn't seem to be any obvious relevance to current times.

It's also worth noting that there's no real theoretical basis for why naked short selling would be harmful, no real empirical evidence showing it is harmful, no general laws against it, and the structure of the market allows and expects it to take place in some specific cases. If your mental model is that the stock market is a tool to allow people to trade a fixed number of concrete objects back and forth, this probably seems odd, but since that's not really a good model of how the stock market works or is intended to work, it's not clear that means much.
Yes and its a play on that phrase.

You don't need to trust people on a blockchain, you have to trust the protocol, and then verify the results.

Yep, the old Russian proverb that’s falsely attributed to Ronald Reagan [1].

Getting back on topic, that’s entirely Visa’s business in being a payments network. When I first heard about Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies, I wondered why Visa/MC/Amex/Discover and even (newer) real estate companies like Redfin weren’t looking at this seriously, since it could hypothetically be used to verify contracts and transactions in a decentralized way.

There currently is no public date for the deprecation of Manifest v2 extensions, so I think you'll be fine with uBlock Origin for a while to come.
The first exemple you give, Terminator, is exactly that. In the original story (T1 and T2, before they started rebooting the story again and again) Skynet doesn't fire on the US. It fires on Russia "because it knew the Russian would overwhelmingly retaliate and kill its enemies in the US".

The idea was that Skynet could not kill all us forces, no where close, but retaliating Russian could (given the strikes against them had let most of their forces and weapons standing, and the US didn't have access to its own to stop them), and Skynet could trigger MAD.
This is well-reasoned and decently thorough.

However, when Robinhood et al halted only buys but not sells, they opened themselves up to the "corrupt elite" interpretation that Wall Street manipulated the market. There's almost no question that the effects of the unidirectional freeze were to drive down the price, thereby helping the shorts. Sure, Robinhood would have been not as well off as they were when they did allow sells, but they'd at least not be directly contributing to manipulation.

Further, the article indicates DTCC increased deposit requirements. What is their procedure for making this decision? Are they rule/process-based or discretionary?

I ask because DRCC seems like a singular bottleneck in this system, a single point of failure. It's a bit odd to see the argument that it's not a "conspiracy" (though I'd prefer "corrupt collusion") because one organization all parties depend on made a discretionary decision that caused most participants to take an action benefitting the people most likely to be well-connected to said organization.

It remains to be seen whether facts bear out any of these hypotheses. Facts do bear out that Robinhood lied about their cash flow situation. But I do find it peculiar that we're getting this explanation three days after the fact. "Government rules require vastly increased deposits due to the unprecedented conditions yada yada yada" would have been a better message than the BS they did end up sending out, and it's a perfect excuse to pass the buck.
Nice. What are you running on them?

ESXi runs nicely on a Nuc, and it’ll do a load of VMs with plenty of resources (the Nucs will take 64gb).
But the price for that is probably 5-10x what you are describing.
I think the underlying assumption, which wasn't spelled out in the parent, is that any amount of money under $super-rich is similar amounts of worthless. If you genuinely believe that, then high-risk swings at a big payday make more logical sense than a low-risk gradual growth strategy.

I've heard friends express this - if you don't have $1 million +, you're just varying degrees of poor - so there's no point at gradual growth from 20k to 50k and etc when you're just as miserable. Might as well risk it all to try to get to the big time, since they don't see a reasonable path to growing gradually to anywhere worth living.
