I’ve been using Monzo for around the same time and have had nothing but good things to say right up until they decided to start pushing their Premium/Plus accounts onto customers via in app ads. With all the rumours of them struggling to become profitable it’s made me consider a move to Starling, who seem to be in a better position in that regard.
One thing I appreciate about Taibbi's article is that he's got the most important part right: this isn't a pump-and-dump, it's a protest.

The talking heads doing the pearl-clutching and the commentators around the internet keep talking about how none of this makes financial sense, the fundamentals of the company aren't sound, it can't last forever, someone will get hurt, and it's obvious that zero of those people have scrolled through a single WSB thread.

You can't scroll very far through any of the WSB threads without passing comments like this one:

"Listen to me. Hedge fund dicks. 1%. And who ever the wants to read this.

"I will sell every position I own tomorrow. Red, green... I will sell. I will use all my capital to buy gme tomorrow. Fuck you hedge funds and 1%.

"I have been hit by every single financial and economic in the last 25 years. That’s been my adult life. You have taken every fucking thing from me. And now I will spend every single grand I have buying GME.

"What do I have to lose? My money? Well you fuckers made damn sure over decades that I’d never be able to own a house or live the life that you’ve been able to enjoy. But blocked from us."

That sentiment is posted multiple times in every single major thread -- along with great helpings of jokes and memes and a party atmosphere.

So many people keep assuming that the retail traders in this scenario don't know what they're doing and they need to be protected from themselves. They know what they're doing. Some of them have $millions riding on this and they've had multiple opportunities to cash out.

But they aren't looking for a payday so much as an opportunity to hurt some Wall Street firms that got a bit arrogant and thought they could get away with shorting more shares of a particular company than existed on the market.

Folks can bash Taibbi for getting some details wrong or for writing articles without an editor, but at least he managed to get the basic shape of this whole situation right, which puts him way ahead of a lot of other folks.

“what the fuck even is this timeline” is my new mantra! Thank you :-)
To understand why this is happening, you need to understand the person that started it all: u/deepfuckingvalue

https://www.reddit.com/user/deepfuckingvalue

He posted updates regularly of his positions. Scroll all the way down and see how much money he made over time.

As he started becoming more successful, more and more people wanted to replicate his success, eventually creating the movement that you hear about today.

He takes pride on holding no matter what.

Spoiler alert: he went from ~100k to 33m USD.
tl;dr: I wanted UX to be a principle, to have a noble moral standing and be used only for "good". But it turns out UX is just a tool and as just a tool it is now being used for "evil".
>The only thing the executives at reddit care about is revenue and hence impressions

Oh please. If that was true, they wouldn't have banned TheDonald, especially so close to the election. That sub drove a huge amount of traffic.
Three things I would change - UX, filtering and ranking - to be made user customizable, or allow alternative front ends and rankings provided by third parties. That would solve many problems. I would apply this rule to all large internet companies - Google's UX and ranking, Twitter's UX and ranking, etc. They all sin by tricking users (UX), hiding stuff (filtering) and selectively showing stuff in "the one true way" (ranking).

Why are they doing this? To milk the web for user data, ad money and extract more money from customers directly. Our eyeballs are their most prized product. But the end result is this mono-culture / single take on UX and ranking for all.

Practically it would mean to force them to open up their backends to competitors, or be split into front and back, with open competition. I would also spin off the user data part of backend to allow portability of user pods.

There should be more rights to users on the internet. Deplatforming, manipulation and exploitation can't continue like this.
So a summary here is that Robinhood was a victim of a financial variant of the reddit-effect.

I'm not even sure that's something to be ashamed of!

i personally believe in the most simple explanation. no conspiracy, no supernatural.
I'm not sure how I feel about this to be honest.

I appreciate they were following their guidelines and wouldn't like anyone to troll an app like this but I don't think google should have removed bad reviews. Unless court ordered maybe, based on FCC findings of market manipulation or something like that. Robinhood sells their client's data to financial institutions. These institutions then can use that to skim off Robinhood's clients. The GameStop fiasco puts all that at risk so they pull the plug. Like a casino kicking you out because you’re winning too much at poker and taking money from their high rollers, who pay a premium to peek at your cards.

Idiomatic says nothing about code design. Code design is far above what idiomatic means. You can still have dependencies where you shouldn't have them. Your services can still be designed without composability in mind.

That's why there should be no banks, only money market funds. Every deposit is an investment decision. You may as well reap the rewards if you take all the risks of lending and cut out the middleman.

It’s not a problem, nobody minds if you don’t use it. If it’s in products, it’s not likely you would even find out. Everything isn’t for everybody, after all. A hundred companies and more are running Linux, Theo and a couple dozen people run OpenBSD. It’s hand crafted and if you don’t like it, there’s a big giant circus tent called Linux over there.

This is a heavily regulated market and Congress are going to get involved. Let's wait and see.

One thing to consider: if they've provided leveraged finance to buy this stock then they're exposed by this massive move too. They therefore have to manage risk, and so limiting further exposure does make sense. If these people can't pay their bills (if leveraged), I don't know who takes on that risk. It might be RH or this could be passed on to others. Either way someone needs to take that risk on. Some have asked why not just stop the leveraged finance, and I don't know the answer.

Another thing to consider: is it legal to allow manipulation of prices? The folk are trying to hold the price up. This is a tricky subject to consider. As a professional there are various rules on what is manipulation. Presumably a broker has some responsibility here.

All in all, who knows if this is clearly justified. Folk are equally able to go and place orders via other brokers. Whining that broker X can't trade Y doesn't hold water as an argument. If they don't trade X, find a different broker (this is entirely standard practice. Not every broker can trade every instrument). You're not required to execute there.

I'm afraid that folk are going to have a really bad wake up call. These markets are really complex and the warnings that your capital is at risk is a really big warning to be heeded. Don't invest what you can't afford to lose. I'm sorry that people are losing here. :(
Can't find the source now, but I read that while Islam (and Judaism, at least in the past) forbids usury and this sort of extends to low interest too, the concept of interest is useful enough (or at least in demand) that people developed all kinds of practices that work almost exactly as interest.
Why are they trying to do this sort of thing when their usual "recommendations" through their radio are just pre-generated playlists that one has no influence on anyway. I remember years ago the radio was generated as you went and you could up- and down vote songs as you listened, slowly tuning said radio to your personal liking. Nowadays any electronic music radio just turns into a generic EDM playlist in my experience, even if I stared with something fairly niche.

That and the fact that their queue after years and years still sucks compared to competitors made me move in recently. It feels like Spotify has declined over recent years. I still miss their addons as well.
That's not even close. As long as the first/business/economy classes are transparent in their policies and privileges, then it's okay. There is no cheating here.
Corporate bois protecting each other.. What a surprise
correct. whole societies are taking on debt that will be paid by everybody and the future generations, just so that people who are making a lot of money get to keep making a lot of money. it's not even about limiting losses, it's flat out unacceptable that you earn 0 as long as there is a crisis. this goes also beyond the stock market, with people being forced to go to work during a pandemic, just so they can pay their rent. as if keeping people alive is less important than keeping a good ROI of landlords and/or banks that lent money.

Instead of giving your contacts to facebook, why can't facebook instead operate directly on them in your personal data store? Why does youtube know which videos I've liked but I don't unless youtube allows me? Why is sharing my github repo something github has to do, and not me? Why are all my posts randomly dispersed and locked across multiple networks and not available for me to query and analyse as I see fit?

I hope eventually we all own and control our data while platforms are given limited access to it, rather than the other way around.

I use Starling for my business (Monzo didn't have business accounts at the time). The app is much worse than Monzo. However they do have better export facilities, and you can do transfers via website, so for business I think it is more practical.

It is totally obvious that the Google Play Store has fake reviews on every single app. I am not talking about bots; I'm pretty sure Google does it themselves. I have found apps which do absolutely nothing correctly and there was not a single positive review in the comments. Still, the app had a 3.9 rating.
I'm not sure I get your point. S/he definitely got somebody's vote to get there, if not mine then of the other folks across the street.

HFT firms are apparently hooked up directly to the exchange. So they probably settle trades in real-time. The whole chain of retail to broker to clearinghouse is what creates the need of credit-collateral at every stage and create systemic risk if some players don't have the right risk control in place. At least that's what I have figured from a few hours of reading.

How would this compare for current users of Docker for Mac? If I use Docker for Mac to run two containers, I get one VM that runs two containers, right? And if I use this, then I get two VMs, one per container?

How does the resource usage compare?

I have to tell Docker for Mac how much RAM to allocate, and that's then shared between the containers. Can krunvm use as much RAM as the container needs, or does it also need some pre-allocation?
A significant minority are quite sensitive to salt. I fixed my high blood pressure by reducing salt intake. I got it down to hunter-gather levels - less than 1 g per day and combined with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables for potassium. It took a week before I started to notice my BP falling. Came down from 135/85 to 115/70 over a period of 12 weeks. Also cut out alcohol, anything more than a glass of wine raises my BP for a day or so afterwards. Of course, you can't eat any pre-prepared food this way as it has way too much salt. No bread, cheese, butter etc. Food begins to taste much better after a couple of weeks on a low salt diet as salt dulls the sense of taste.

What this project is "aiming" for is IMO solution to a problem that doesnt exist. Why? To build a market for themselves otherwise all this "smarts" that is thrown with iot is just used for data mining at a mass scale. Only projects like openhab make it selfhosted and your own.

Exactly. As a small app maker I can't get a fake 1-start review removed but I guess the big guys can. Then again if I gave a shit about reviews my apps wouldn't be open source.
Worth remembering these vaccines are even more successful at stopping death and hospitalisation, than the headline efficacy figures. The headline figures count any COVID as a failure.
I hate Google with passion, for the things they do, but this is what they did for every brigade-rating that I can remember. And it makes sense. It's not anyone reviewing the app, it's people mass 1-starring the app because they decided to do so as a hive-mind. It's essentially fake reviews and I wouldn't be surprised if it's automated.

Also, as far as I gather, people who wrote a human-like text review to go with their rating didn't get their review removed.
What a great question!

In thinking about it, I thought to myself, well that question is somewhat like "Why can't Silicon Valley fix the problems with Washington D.C.?" Or, "Why can't Washington D.C. fix the problems with Wall Street?"

Let's think of three cities -- "A Tale Of Three Cities" -- Silicon Valley, Washington D.C., and New York (AKA, "Wall Street").

Silicon Valley -- is the home of Tech.

Washington D.C. -- is the home of Government.

New York -- is the home of Finance (the financial markets, the main stock exchanges).

Each one of these places, each one of these cities -- was built on a different paradigm.

These paradigms (Tech, Government, Finance) in the way that they interact with each other, is sort of like a giant game of "Rock, Scissors, Paper"...

That is, each has different moves that it can use either for or against the others (in this game constructive as well as non-constructive actions are permitted).

But no single paradigm -- can completely dominate and control the other paradigms...

So the paradigms interact from time to time, in various different ways, sometimes constructive, sometimes destructive, sometimes neither -- to one another.

If the idea that Silicon Valley can somehow "outsmart evil s. and Wall Street", remember that to a large degree, while Silicon Valley controls tech, Wall Street controls Silicon Valley's finance...

In short, it ain't going to happen.

All of the "problems" that the world could or ever would face, are created by paradigms that in turn create systems (a City is only the outwards manifestation of this), systems that produce effects for those that control them that the people who control them want to be produced, but sometimes those effects may be to the detriment of other people and groups...

To understand this paradigm mass effect more, you might want to read about "Tragedy Of The Commons"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tragedy_of_the_commons

But, any city that was created by a paradigm at its root -- is pretty much going to play "Rock, Scissors, Paper" with other cities that were created by different paradigms...

If someone wanted to unify and create non-destructive actions by these different groups, by these different paradigms, by these different cities -- then that person would have to know the WHY, completely and totally, of not just one -- but of all of the paradigms that they would attempt to unite...

That's no small task -- even for the greatest of Ivy-League Professors!

But, on a simpler note, I have to like this "Rock, Scissors, Paper" paradigm analogy! (I'm going to have to write a future philosophical essay on this!)
This offers an interesting tangent to me: is the dumbing down of the user experience what ultimately opens the door for dark patterns?
If you read the articles, last month he was arguing that RH should be better regulated if not banned because it's exploiting poor unknowing victims who don't understand what they're getting into, and now he's arguing that it's just "ordinary people acting — out of self-interest, but also out of sheer enthusiasm for one of the best reasons to do just about anything, because you can". Which one is it?
A stock market question. Looking at the outcomes - high-volatility stocks are up, safe stocks are down - makes me suspect this is a "risk bubble".

When watching AlphaGo play Go, you can tell when the network thinks it is ahead or behind. When it is ahead, it will attempt to reduce uncertainty in its evaluation, seeking outcomes where it certainly doesn't lose. When it is behind however, it will attempt to increase uncertainty in its evaluation, seeking outcomes where it doesn't certainly lose. Looking at the market makes me suspect something similar is at play, where the market "should" go down but a lot of investment money is chasing opportunities that "don't certainly lose." In that sense the march drop would be two sequential realizations: "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. Does that sound plausible?
HFT hold no overnight positions (with rare exceptions) so don't have to worry about settling.
Instant deposit & instant settlement both open a margin account though. And purchasing with unsettled funds requires margin. Which I would bet a huge number of people have enabled on their accounts, if not actively use.
I don't look at stars and app reviews anymore -it all feels completely useless and fake.
