I think a lot of the protest diatribes are really just pumping. That Chamath guy gave a long impassioned speech but then just bought options and immediately sold for a big windfall, which isn't exactly squeezing anyone in a principled stand, it is essentially just pumping and dumping (he donated to charity to avoid allegations of that, so it was really probably just PR for his populist political campaign that offers 0% taxes).

And the big hero to the little man stick it to the big man movement is.. the richest man in the United States? Who gave WSB lots of drama and laughter with the $420 stock fraud thing and is anti regulation and SEC enforcement to their newfound desire for enforcement on powerful players? Who ripped off NASA to buy bonds in SolarCity and then bailed that out with Tesla or would probably have gone bankrupt?

The WSB people are basically doing this for fun and most of the principle stuff is only on moves that have directly affected their position.

Even before some of the bad moves from brokerages today they had principled screeds to draw people in, but the only people who seem to be mad in principle are the crazy qanon people that have now joined in that are basically spreading blood libel against bankers and stuff and latching onto this and probably praying for violence to result or some kind of revolution like fell out of the Albanian MLM stuff.

There's a real danger here that there are high level summaries upon summaries from those who don't really understand the details of the markets.
Every broker will have various liquidity pools and those pools will be pinged to execute your order. The order has to get best execution (there are legal requirements on it).

Without knowing the internal details of RH all of this is speculation. I think that what folk are saying is that Citadel pay for the information on order flow (they don't provide any liquidity?). it sounds like that pays RH bills who have to pay execution and exchange fees. If that's true then isn't the choice to pay the information cost to Citadel or pay some fees to another broker?

I suspect that your casino analogy would be more accurate if the gambler was borrowing money from another casino (i.e. leverage or buying options) and they said 'You've hit your limits in borrowing' or the main casino you're in said 'We don't take bets higher than X'.

He's still right. Once the smoke has cleared a lot of people will have lost money on GME. Only those who got in and out early will have done well.

I don't understand their PR strategy though. The Webull CEO has been much more transparent about the kind of collateral requirements their exchange was dealing with via DTCC. RobinHood could have explained the same - it's not their fault for having insufficient liquidity when the DTCC's collateral requirements go up.

What does "validate" mean in this context?

It doesn't mean "compare using testers", because that requires engineering work, which was rejected in the next sentence. So what is it?
The trouble is that people's expectations for what a "competent response" should be able to achieve don't actually seem to have any basis in reality. Pandemic response plans just fundamentally aren't designed to stop a respiratory pandemic like this one, at best they try to mitigate a little of the damage and even a lot of that is experimental and untested. (We don't even know something as basic as how effective school closures are against flu pandemics!) SARS and MERS had very different characteristics which made contact tracing a lot more effective against them; the UK, US and most other countries tried using the same approach that worked against them and it failed (and started a bazillion conspiracy theories about why the UK abandoned it). People's expectations seem to have more to do with cynical partisan political attempts to exploit the pandemic than reality.

Awesome to hear, it's not too bad in a kayak although really big waves. I've been there quite a few times even though I live in the UK, it is well worth the trip to combine Ottawa and Lachine/Montreal partying.

First time out I followed a Riot paddler who was keen to take me out as the rest of my crew didn't want to go. There was a massive thunderstorm and I noticed that everyone else had gone so I paddled back alone, riding the lightening.

Great times.

Can I propose changing the description slightly to frame how big of an issue it is:

I downloaded the app to buy shares.
It is the weekend. The markets are closed, so I can't buy shares.
Delete app, 1* rating, false advertising.

There is always fine print. The challenge is that the fine print here is really complicated. In extreme situations there are rules to consider.
It's a trade-off. SMD-soldering takes up way less space, which is important in an ultra-portable. Even if it was upgradeable, it's not clear to me that the CPU/motherboard even supports more than 16GB per memory slot. Adding an additional memory slot would greatly expand the physical requirements.

Even in my many years of having desktop PC's, I think I've only once upgraded RAM separately and never upgraded the CPU without replacing the motherboard.

If you're talking repairability, than I just haven't had to replace my RAM sticks due to wear.
Is it fake if the app seemingly became unfit for purpose if legitimate users were unable to buy GME? Robinhood changed the utility of the application, not the users.
I was expecting this to be about Chernobyl. But this article is also fine. Not great, not terrible.
Sorry no. This is not about the main executable - this is a misdirection. The comments you make about the "main binary" are 100% correct. But, they do not address my comment at all.

My comments were entirely about the shared cache region and how it can be moved.

I again ask you to do the homework - please calculate how it could be done better given the address spaces involved. Address spaces going from 32bit to 64bit have gotten better, but this does need to be kept into consideration given the size of the object involved and the API / CPU instructions available (please, I ask you to consider all of the addressing modes available to the ABI for all of the currently supported platforms)

[added]

It is likely the individual objects that compose the share cache region are compiled independently. There are lots of individual objects! Resolving the dependencies of the composite shared object are likely expensive.

Historically I observe that the contextual data available to a static or dynamic linker has been very constrained, which makes relinking / reallocation objects a challenge.
The „conspiracy theorists“ often seem to dismiss multi-factor explanations. When in fact they may be rare when you calculate for a single event, but if you consider how many events are happening across the globe it’s just not that improbable that a medial sensation was in fact the result of an - individually unlikely - chain of events
I mean. If you explicitly don’t want the data , then maybe nobody needs to track it (unless you’re using a cc or similar). The point is that that falls on you and you can choose not to.
> It also refused loans to 30 percent of low-income applicants, compared to the aggregate rate of 18 percent

Why refusing to loan money to low-income borrowers is supposed to be discrimination?

If someone has minimal income they are far less likely to repay loan, why this is supposed to be indicator of some discrimination?

If someone earn 30k per year and someone earns 3000k per year then it is not surprising that loan of 200k would be far more likely given to person with higher income.

Banks are typically extremely awful, but why that specific part is supposed be indicator of something wrong? And it seems likely that other statistics mentioned are result of that.
Did their customers all buy on margin?
It's also bad pretty much everywhere in Europe as well. During the first wave, everyone pointed to the Czech Republic as a country that'd done well. They currently have about the same Covid mortality rate as the UK in per-capita terms, last I saw, which had one of the deadlier outbreaks. (Also, the UK isn't much like an island in terms of connectivity to the rest of Europe, and that probably matters more than physical geography.)
Thanks, you're correct I had the definition of 'zero-sum' backwards in my head and for that context - let me be clear - I just have a deteriorating faith in the the USD. I personally assign less and less value to it. I just meant to point out the fact that our fractional reserve banking system is 'built-to-fail' by design.

The helicopter money and trillion dollar injections can only last if the banks are solvent - they cant be peddling' garbage debt,,,they never stopped and some market will bubble again and wash out the meek..

This constant balancing act that we play with the US economy and global markets incites fear and greed.

Back before US notes and banks, we had the goldsmith. Goldsmith takes custody of gold, and issues dollars/bonds/notch for amounts on transactions... as it is much easier to hand someone a slip of paper than moving gold around constantly. OK cool except, wait - nothing is stopping goldsmith from making multiple slips for the same stack of gold. Uh oh - The classic double spend!

Now, 2021, We have solutions to this now in the form of blockchain/crypto. It is the most easily accessible sound form of money...just not quite easy enough yet.

Fun Fact: 16-bit vs. 64-bit
FUN FACT (if my math was right):

Suppose a computer "BYTE" == 1 JOULE of energy, how does the theoretical capacity of a 16-bit computer differ from 64-bit?

16-bit: How much ~2.2 sumo wrestlers eat per day

64-bit: How much energy the sun produces in ~2.575 minutes

If a stock trading app manipulates the market by preventing purchases, while allowing selling, of certain stocks that are popular with a democratized hedge fund community, they deserve all the 1 star reviews they get.

It's not just an useless app now, it's an actively dangerous scam app.
Robinhood made a decision that cost its users from hundreds to tens of thousands of dollars, perhaps more. If there's ever been a more justified reason to give an app a 1-star rating, it's this. Google was out of line.
Doesn't regular Robinhood require settled cash to trade?

Edit: Nope, looks like Robinhood "Instant" is now the default, margin account, but still limited to $1000 per account:

> "we need to get out of stocks" and "everything else is also fucked", driving investors back into stocks due to a lack of somewhere else to go

layman's perspective here: well.. people with money want to invest it somehow, somewhere to increase it.

-It is stock. The stock prices go up and (e.g.) gold price goes down.
-Then some think "ooh gold is so cheap", and cash out their profits from stocks, and drop that money to gold. Stocks go down, gold goes up.
-Then some think "ooh stocks are so cheap", and cash out their profits from gold, and drop that money to stocks. Gold goes down, stocks go up.
-ad infinitum..
Now then.. the big players that move the marker, position themselves early on and ride the full wave. The semi-smart catch part of that wave 'up'. The little fish/retail/impatient tend to buy the stock/gold on its peak, and is paying for the exit-ers profit-cash-out. And then they either cut their losses, or they wait for 1-2-5 years for the next 'peak' to sell to someone else (I know I am oversimplifying it - apologies).

Where stocks, gold please replace with stock[A..Z], bond[A..Z], index[A..Z], commodity[A..Z] and so on..
Hedge funds do that all

I can see all actual reviews of the app with 1 star rating explained in text missing today. Yesterday I could see plenty of them, today these are gone.

They rate 1 star based on their actual experience. The service provided by app is not the same as it used to be, new rules were applied on-the-fly. We could speculate if Google should remove those ratings from people that never used the app...

Eh, I doubt it's an ad - I left hsbc many of the same reasons. Final straw was trying to get my data from them, which they are obligated to provide in some sensible format and simply wouldn't. Indeed after a couple if escalations they were insisting that all data internally was only kept on pdf beyond a six month horizon, which was blatantly wrong for a whole cavalcade of reasons. Unethical in the large and useless at a retail level, never want anything to do with them.

Ask HN: Do you own or use a one page app?
For those who don't know, a one page app focuses on one single task only. It usually does not have any option to create an account and if it does have an option then it is still not mandatory. They are generally free to use but you enjoy advanced features with their paid account. For example I have saved ton of bandwidth by compressing images on https://tinypng.com/. I was trying to find more such apps and ended up with 10-15 apps which seems awfully less than what I expected.
Since they are hard to find right now so I am building a list of every useful one page app out there ( useful being the keyword ). Please share the URL of one pages apps that you use or you own. Shameless plugs are welcomed.

You need to distinguish between drug development and production.

Sure production cost is usually low and that technically allows to sell to poor countries essentially at cost plus a tiny margin.

But that's only half the story. Drugs need to be developed. From idea to market only a tiny fraction of medication makes it. You need studies ovet studies, and most of the time a drug does not make it through that process because it's ineffective or dangerous or both. The few that make it need to compensate for the cost of this process, not just their own but all of those that didn't make it.

So, in "rich" countries, a pill that costs $0.10 to produce can easily cost $1000. That's a necessity to finance the whole process of getting there.

After that is all done and established, sure, you may get that same pill for $1 since it's either that or no sale. But that does not mean the whole system would work for $1 per pill everywhere in the world. Then the pill would not exist in the first place.

"Personium" sounds like a valuable ore that can be mined for great profit. Not the best association given the subject at hand.
So the market price which is made from all transactions from all brokers will drop because robinhood users could not buy.

That makes no sense to me. If they really wanted to buy they could use another broker? If the market really is dropping then tough luck. You can lose all your money investing in the stock market. If you're leveraged you can lose even more (which might explain why some accounts were closed).

TCG is actually the 2nd generation backend. The 1st generation was much worse, but it was incredibly elegant: the operations were just written as functions in C, as you may do for an interpreter - and then memcpy’d one after the other.

So a compiler from one architecture to another which is as easy to write as an interpreter (but without interpreter overhead), is independent of the target architecture - and it just works. I remember being blown away by the elegance.
swiping became popular as smartphones matured. more than one monitor on a PC became popular around the same time. suddenly some cool genius transvented the concept of accessing a useless second desktop on a teeny tiny screen. his golf buddy thought it would be useful to hide ugly, pesky clutter there. hey presto! your grandma is using snapchat gestures to accidentally delete bridge club emails

the three bar menu button is more intuitive than this hidden-yet-integral functionality swiping bullshit, and you can hide an infinite amount of submenus behind such a recognisable icon. why are we still swiping?

> Also, for Vim, `:<tab>` gives you all available commands in the current buffer

Don't misunderstand me, I love vim and use it almost exclusively and everyday, but tab-ing in the way you describe yields 2-3 screenfulls of commands that I have to manually (well, with my eyes anyhow) scan to find what I want and it includes gems such as: "spellrare" and "{{{{{{{{"

The latter of which I do not know how to open a help page for.

To me "discoverable" would mean that I would be able to use this interface to learn more commands, but this is only as discoverable as having to read man-pages. Sure - that is a great way to learn, but it's not discoverable.

Now, what would probably get a little closer is if `:<tab>` opened a list if commands in an fzf-style list also listing their descriptions and maybe grouping them by some other way than just alphabet sort order.

(If anyone can tell me what is up with those '{' I would greatly appreciate it)
