> From what I've read the short sellers had taken a short interest that exceeded 100% of the available GameStop shares.

When someone shorts a stock, it creates a new long position as well. The term is "short sell" because the borrowed shares are sold to someone else. The new buyer is also long.

Long interest is always greater than short interest for this reason. This is why short interest can be greater than 100%.

The facts didn't really matter in this pump, though. The running joke on Reddit was that no one was reading the "DD" anyway, just hopping on the bandwagon.

The biggest problem isn't poor messaging, it's biggest problem is that it's running too lean if it can't cover unanticipated calls for collateral. This is a game that requires some deep reserves. Hopefully when this settles down and they're able to reduce collateral requirements with the clearing house they'll keep the extra on hand.

I took a look at the satellite images. It's a bit hard for me to gauge what the entire area that is supposed to comprise 900k people is, but the official numbers for Pyinmana (inside the capital district but not the capital itself) is about ~100-200k, and Pyinmana is visibly more dense than the city of Naypyidaw itself.

In contrast to Brasilia (which is perhaps the most well-known recent-ish create-a-new-capital-from-scratch initiative), it is far less dense and less occupied. Contrasting to most of the other newer similarly-situated capitals, Naypyidaw is clearly pretty poorly populated and some of its infrastructure is laughably oversized compared to what use it would actually get (Why do you need that road with 10 lanes in each direction? It goes from nowhere to nowhere...).
You can sell naked calls. The maximum loss is infinite and so it is hard to get a brokerage to allow you to do this, but it is done. Indeed if the price goes up you are on the hook to buy the shares and deliver them.

Calls are commonly either covered by shares you own or in a spread where you buy and sell the same ticker at different prices or dates.
Congratulations!

I agree, it needs to be much more cost-effective. Someone In The Know told me that there's some attempts being made to make it more cost-effective with something called Optimism (https://twitter.com/optimismPBC) - but after looking into it, it does seem like you'd need to buy tokens.

You don't need to share of course but I am curious - is your contract a more "legitimate" use than mine? Something which is a genuine utility?

Crime in Europe is generally lower, than many American cities.

I can also assure you, that it's not hard to come by drugs in Poland (I have procured marijuana in Warsaw, without issues). Drug laws create more criminals, but then a cohesive society creates invisible "exceptions" to the rules. You're more likely to be sent to a rehab facility in Europe, than to be sent to prison for drug use.

Let's also remember that US has a massive problem with mental health.
Thank you for clarifying! That puts me a little bit more at ease.

Fair enough, but your comment wasn't phrased specific to that example, it was a general statement about owning 100% of outstanding shares: If you have 100% of the outstanding shares, you have 100% of the voting right

Let's chalk it up to a miscommunication.
That's almost right.[1] I think an example might help explain the abstract statement in the UCC comments. Say you order a truckload of USDA Choice tenderloin. Meat quality is continuous, so really, USDA Choice refers to a range of quality; some Choice meat is on the lower end, almost Select, and some Choice meat is on the higher end, almost Prime. It would be a breach of the implied warranty of merchantability if the seller sent you a shipment of tenderloin that was all at the low end of the Choice range. Someone in the business of meat would balk at receiving such a shipment, so it wouldn't be the kind of shipment expected to "pass without objection". The quality should roughly center around the average of the designation (USDA Choice) specified in the contract.

These are all default rules, like most of contract law. A particular contract can by its express terms lay down a different rule, such as disclaiming any warranty (as-is) or specifying its own terms of warranty (an express warranty).

[1] What you described is just a straight-up breach of contract, even in the absence of a warranty. If you order USDA Choice meat, a shipment of USDA Select meat is such a breach of contract. In agriculture, and especially outside of meat, some of a shipment will always fall outside of the quality range. This is dealt with in the grading definition. So when you buy USDA Grade AA eggs, that actually means that at least 72% of the eggs are AA, and of the remaining, 10% are at least A and the balance can be B (basically... see https://www.ams.usda.gov/grades-standards/shell-egg-grades-a... ).

[Am author] From the article:

> To prevent a network effect from turning into vendor lock-in, software that naturally encourages a network effect needs to be part of an open platform. In the case of communication/messaging software, it should be possible to make alternative clients and servers that are compatible with each other to prevent completion of user domestication’s first two steps.

You are absolutely correct about network effects; a network effect only leads to vendor lock-in when it's combined with a closed platform. Vendor lock-in then leaves users vulnerable to possible domestication.

I've been thinking about implementation diversity lately, and will likely write a follow-up addressing the possibility of an open platform becoming closed. Implementation diversity is one means to keeping open platforms from closing up.

Original inspiration for this idea came from another comment I responded to a few mins ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25985365

> If you gave your stock to someone to facilitate a short you lose your voting rights...

Individuals do not loan stock for shorting, generally. But they do sometimes have margin accounts (for unrelated reasons), and this allows the broker to loan their shares out without their knowledge. In this case, they retain a fraction or none of their voting rights, I presume?

This is another case of the more popular a thing is, the less reliable the talk about it seems to be. News outlets could very much be explaining well what is going on, but they aren't. Bits and pieces of the "real" story are coming out, and lots and lots and lots of nonsense.

> Apple’s Hypercard was a terrific and highly successful end-user authoring system whose media was scripted, WYSIWYG, and “symmetric” (in the sense that the “reader” could turn around and “author” in the same high-level terms and forms).

> The second recommendation was to reinforce the idea that the content to be run within the system had to be as free from the tools of the OS as absolutely possible (because special needs often require special designs etc). An example, was that the content needed to be able to generate its own graphics if necessary (even if the OS supplied some graphics tools). The more the content wanted to go its own way, the more its presentation to the users had to be made to conform to the standards in (1). As with any decent OS, it has to allow for new ideas while also providing the resources for safety, efficiency, and to manifest user experiences.

Everything in the rule is about not using customer funds for proprietary purposes. Not co-mingling customer and brokerage funds. Meaning the brokerage can’t make their own trades with customer money.

There isn’t a single word against using customer funds to purchase customer shares.

It’s a rule against using customer funds for non-customer activities.

Not exactly a 1-3 year timescale, but Elon Musk tweeted something about Signal earlier this month, causing SIGL (completely unrelated to the messaging service to which he was referring) to spike from ~$0.50 to $40 per share. Three weeks later, and SIGL seems to have settled down at around $5 per share - 10x the original price. In other words, the price after the shock is not correlated with the price prior to the shock.

This reminds me of a metaphor made by Burton G. Malkiel in “A Random Walk Down Wall Street”. He attempts to give a possible explanation to why there are star traders or funds that greatly outperform the market. It’s something I like to remind myself of from time-to-time.

The metaphor was a coin flipping tournament. You have a bracket of players who flip a coin against an opponent. In each matchup, the player that flips a heads advances to the next round to face another opponent who won a parallel matchup in the previous round. Suppose this is a 100 round tournament, that would mean the eventual winner would have had to flip a heads 100 times to win. You might look at this coin flipper and think they are an extraordinary coin flipper. That they have some innate ability to flip a coin and make sure it lands with the head sides up. In reality, it was just random chance that they flipped the coin correctly, they do not posses any more coin flipping talent than anyone else. They just got really lucky. You can potentially look at a successful hedge fund or trader through this same lens. They have survived the proverbial coin flipping tournament and random chance was on their side.
The author’s main proposal is to let people struggle through the inconsistencies of their own reasoning by asking them to explain instead of preaching them and attacking them. It looks similar to the Socratic method in which Socrates plays along with whoever he is debating, agrees on some of the assumptions that they make, plants a few more things that are also irrefutable and progressively leads them into crashing against a contradiction which he then points out. Or is it different? I would like to know. More about the Socratic midwifery method: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Socratic_method

It's an interesting premise, but I do wonder how much of it is in us simply being overrun by creative works?

While we all lament the inequality of today's age, standards of living have gone up, allowing many more to set time aside for creative work, and the price of publishing has gone way down and is unhindered by strong editorial policies, that there is such a huge amount of works to sift through.

And to be able to compare and contrast, one would need to be able to go through it all.

But living standards have not gone up that much that we can spend all our awake hours in that :)

Perhaps we should look to establish incentives for academia to do this filtering/grading for us, instead of their current citation chasing/journal pub-count incentive?
> Sadly, many restaurants don’t have a choice, in these days of COVID-19. They work with GrubHub and DoorDash at zero profit or even a loss, or they go completely out of business. Those are the only two options.

Spotify has all of their resources focused on podcasts, because that's where they'll be able to become a real aggregator and start making Real Money.

It's a damn shame because the open nature of podcasts is one of the most appealing things about them. I get where they're coming from though.

If they weren't spending ungodly amounts of cash on podcasts (cough joe rogan) they could probably buy pandora (just guessing, not looking at any actual numbers) and replace their recommendation engine with theirs.

Anecdotally, these findings mesh with my experience in a US city which had a vocational school; I wish these sorts of programs were more popular outside of Europe.

Apparently it's not too common in the States, but our vocational school held tours for local students in the last years of primary school, and they had solid job placement rates for various trade fields. They also did summer programs for local kids.

The article points out that average income/employment outcomes are a bit lower for vocational students, but I like that they try to control for that by looking at things like admissions data.

IME there really is a certain sort of high-scool student who, compared to 4 years of classes, will get a lot more out of guided access to something like a garage, bakery, daycare, machine shop, etc. The vocational school still taught ordinary classes, but on a part-time basis with the student's concentration.

Plus, adventurous locals could sometimes get cheap services. Want to have some fun? Tell your passengers that your car's oil was just changed by a 16-year-old student, while you're on the highway.

The info on samsung models is a mess because they put out almost identical phones with different chipsets and subtly different capabilities.

Where you draw the line isn't agreed upon by any means, so someone somewhere will end up doing it.

The little public newsworthy neuroscience work that's out there[0] is the portion being paid for by corporate interests which actually don't have too much to gain from it in the near future, at least until the tech gets cheap enough to be implanted in either a phone or a car.

Start working on your own alternative platform.

You, as a hacker, have a responsibility to your community, family, friends, to build an alternative platform for them.

If you refuse this responsibility, you are failing your own family and community, and leaving them to suffer all the consequences.

You can't realistically tell your family to quit Service X, no matter how fucking bad it is, unless you're willing to provide them with an alternative, hardware and all, including either a replicated experience or on-demand support.

If you can't build an alternative to Service X, you must start teaching yourself immediately until you are able to do it.

Coincidentally I just read this today: "There is no such thing in the world as luck. There never was a man who could go out in the morning and find a purse full of gold in the street to-day, and another to-morrow, and so on, day after day: He may do so once in his life; but so far as mere luck is concerned, he is as liable to lose it as to find it. "Like causes produce like effects." If a man adopts the proper methods to be successful, "luck" will not prevent him. If he does not succeed, there are reasons for it, although, perhaps, he may not be able to see them."
