That's the myth, and it's been pretty effectively sold to redditors. The reality is that there are hedge funds who profit on both sides of the trade. There were a few shorts who did lose a lot of money, but that is part of the risk of shorting stock and it's kind of incredible that people think that those hedge funds believed that their trade was risk free.

I think now, the cat is out of the bag, and astroturfing a pump-and-dump on reddit/twitter/discord is going to be a pretty lucrative thing now for some entities, at least until there's some kind of regulatory action against it. Comments like this: "I'm trying to jump in but can you eli5 what a market order is please?" get translated to "Come eat my lunch please! I would like to give away my money."

They want to see the whole unfair system burn, which I totally get, but this is not how you make that happen. Regular people do have a lot of power over our financial system, but when they try to exercise it like this... it's difficult to watch. So many people are going to eat shit on this. They'll be left holding the bag and wondering why everyone else on Wall Street got so rich off their backs.

If you're reading this and you think you might be sticking it to the hedge funds by buying in: there are plenty -- PLENTY -- of hedge funds who are willing to sell you GME at $350 per share.
Shit, every time I reboot my iPad it asks for permission to connect to my phone for wifi calling, and I keep on saying "no" and I wish I could just say "never ask this again". It's just as annoying when Apple does it.
This was a great read. It looks like the objective function (which seems to be some measure of "did we increase value" vs did the user tap the notification ) is really important here. Any idea how that was actually measured?
Ask HN: Google throws all my API-generated mail to spam. What can I do about it?
Just as in the title. We are a small startup and all our API generated emails are invitational ones. They work just like Slacks invite emails.
We just changed a domain and that is when the issue started appearing. Our domain is managed by OVH.

We contacted Google support 2 times already. Things we already did:
- Setup DKIM records for email authorization
- Personalize invitational emails (company name, company logo, inviting person's name).
- Use best practises for invitational email templates (they also are similar to Slack)
- Setup Google's postmaster (we don't have data yet)
- Start handling all company's email from new domain to build it's reputation

Did you guys have similar issues? If so, how did you handle it and how long did it take to be resolved?

This scratches at the surface of the very complex field of hermeneutics (basically how can humans* understand the semantics of utterances or other representations).

In the west it got its start in religious enquiry (loosely: the Bible is ambiguous, or at least people disagree about interpretation; can we figure out what the real underlying message is and thus correct errors made by humans because obviously the "real" text must be absolutely correct).

In the 20th century this discipline was broadened primarily by Heidigger whose work is famously incomprehensible yet filled with insight along with many others; it also lead to insight (e.g. semiotics) and extreme absurdity (e.g. 99.9% of the deconstructionists, sadly despite their having started with a useful insight).

* and in more modern times, machines. I spent several years in the 1980s working on how it even makes sense to talk about a machine "understanding". It definitely changed how I view the world, but IMHO so far has had essentially no impact on the world itself.
That's my hypothesis for how homo sapiens goes extinct -- becoming ever more dependent on nature-shaping or external machinery to augment weakened selection pressure, but very fragile to sudden changes and always fighting fires.

Is this related to Jaron Lanier's vision of union (in the labor sense) groups which sell to companies access to the group's anonymized data? In his model, one individual can belong to many groups and their information is like a share/stock they have in a pool of data with other people. They sell in a cooperative fashion to select companies, gaining power through anonymity and group bargaining power.
From my understanding, dependent types can model linearity, but you'd need to use that model type system rather than the 'native' type system (similar to how, for example, Bash can model OOP (e.g. using a mixture of naming conventions, associative arrays, eval, etc.), but isn't natively OOP). If we go down that route, we're essentially building our own programming language, which is inherently incompatible with the dependently-typed language we've used to create it (in particular: functions in the underlying language cannot be used in our linear-types language, since they have no linearity constraints).

A common example is a file handle: I can prove that the 'close' function will produce a closed handle, e.g.

close : Handle Open -> Handle Closed

I can prove that those handles point to the same file:

close : (f: Filename) -> Handle f Open -> Handle f Closed

I can prove arbitrary relationships between the input values and the output value. Yet nothing I do restrict the structure of a term, like how many times a variable is used, to prevent e.g.

foo h = snd (close h, readLine h)

For that sort of control, we need to build the ability to track things into the term language itself; either by adding linear types (or equivalent) to the language, or building a new incompatible language on top (as I mentioned above).
Similar theory behind those “do you like this app” prompts that come from the app itself. If you tap “yes” they’ll give you the prompt to rate on the AppStore. If you tap “no” they won’t. This can seriously inflate an app’s rating and help prevent low ratings. Nice, underhanded and effective dark pattern!

On the other hand, the "three quarters" is probably not the number that matters, since the vast majority of Covid-19 cases are not hospitalized. Looking at CDC data (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/cases-updates/burd...) it seems that roughly 6% of Covid-infected people with symptomatic illness get hospitalized; so if three quarters of those will have long-lasting symptoms then it means that if you get Covid, then your likelihood of having long-lasting symptoms is something like 4.5%.

On the other hand, while that risk is not that widespread, that still will mean millions of affected people.

Economically it is very simple and beneficial to Germany.

There are two foreign-policy angles:

The Eastern-European states (mostly Poland and the Ukraine, but also the Baltics) are constantly afraid of Russia. Especially to the Poles it looks a bit like Germany and Russia diving Poland between themselves in WW II.

That's the good foreign policy opposition.

Then there's the bad one: America. America wants to sell liquid gas from fracking.

That gas is more expensive, so Germany builds ports for those LNG ships, but also the pipeline.

America warns that Germany makes itself dependent on Russian gas, but that's bullshit. Germany can switch over to American LNG at any time. The infrastructure is there. As soon as Russian gas stops, gets too expensive, or strings are attached, Germany can almost instantly get American gas.

The only problem is: America wants to sell their expensive gas right now.

And so the impose sanctions, not against Germany, but against everyone remotely connected to that project. It sounds like an exaggeration, but they literally impose sanctions on some janitor working for a port that let a ship enter which was working on that pipeline. And the mayor of the town the port is in. And everyone else.
Why should the details of the Matrix.org server moderation be of significance to Element users? We are talking about a decentralized and optionally end to end encrypted chat client.

Anyway, Matrix.org is hosted by a foundation with an independent board. You can ask them if you want but given your post you already know full well why they are not sharing. No one is going to do a press release to say they were involuntary hosting CP or helping terrorists. What good would come out of it?
You're attacking a straw man.

My point is that there's a method by which we start from observations and, through a process that (critically) involves other people, we reach an objective understanding of a subject. The observations aren't facts, but the conclusions can be.

Live performance is art, which is opposite of materialistic.

Smaller and more niche artists sell out medium sized venues in NYC, while failing to get half occupancy in fairly large cities. That is a major draw, because even idealistic artists need food.
I'm in the early stages of bootstrapping a SaaS app that prioritizes security and privacy. For my business, this would be great: users are far more likely to trust an app if the app won't be storing any of the application data itself -- if they can choose their own data hosting provider.

Google Cloud Drive, Box, and others already allow this kind of model to an extent. Third-party apps can access and modify user data hosted there, although not through a standardized API.

I think I don't recall ever being tasked to answer questions set in a textbook at university. The lecturers set problem sheets themselves based on their lectures. Sure, you can still cheat from other people in the same lectures, but that's a different game to having cheating commercially available.

That said, the exams were pass/fail anyway and the questions worked on during the course didn't have any bearing on that. Made cheating on problem sets pretty irrelevant, I guess.

Partial indexes are amazing but you have to keep in mind some pecularities.

If your query doesn't contain a proper match with the WHERE clause of the index - the index will not be used. It is easy to forget about it or to get it wrong in subtle ways. Here is an example from work.

There was an event tracing structure which contained the event severity_id. Id values 0-6 inclusive are user facing events. Severity 7 and up is debug events. In practice all debug events were 7 and there were no other values above 7. This table had a partial index with WHERE severity_id < 7.
I tracked down a performance regression, when an ORM (due to programmer error) generated WHERE severity_id != 7. The database is obviously not able to tell that there will never be any values above 7 so the index was not used slowing down event handling. Turning the query to match < 7 fixes the problem. The database might also not be able to infer that the index can be indeed used, for example when prepared statements are involved WHERE severity_id < ?. The database will not be able to tell that all bindings of ? will satisfy < 7 so will not use the index (unless you are running PG 12, then that might depend on the setting of plan_cache_mode[1] but I have not tested that yet).

Another thing is that HOT updates in PostgreSQL can't be performed if the updated field is indexed but that also includes being part of a WHERE clause in a partial index. So you could have a site like HN and think that it would be nice to index stories WHERE vote > 100 to quickly find more popular stories. That index however would nullify the possiblity of a hot update when the vote tally would be updated. Again, not a problem but you need to know the possible drawbacks.

That said, they are great when used for the right purpose. Kudos to the author for a nice article!

To be fair mainframes did clustering long before anyone else too.

You're right. It is still not clear to me what/how this will be used (I think I have an idea but not sure; the front page should have made it quite clear).

It would have been great if they had described a target use-case right there on the front page.

The writeup seems to be targeting developers but it looks to me like the product is for the public (end-users). The site doesn't seem to have done a good enough job linking both of them.

Are you familiar with calls "Mozhem povtorit'"? They date at least to 2014.

To curious, this means "(we) can repeat" and refers to the end of WWII, when Soviet armies went West and stormed Berlin - tanks, infantry, aviation, everything. Those using such calls conveniently forget the price which was paid during those years - the price they certainly aren't eager to repay.

They do. Observe that apps will prompt you in-app, and only if you indicate you're open to it will they invoke the system prompt, which will only trigger from the app a single time before you have to change it from the system preferences pane.

The dialog I am constantly seeing is this one, which seems to come from the OS: https://i.imgur.com/7JGotq3.png

Now that iOS allows you to share only some photos with apps (which is great) I see this before practically every photo selection dialog in third-party apps. My choice here doesn't affect my ability to share a single image with the app in that moment; they just want to suck my whole library of photos in for background processing. I'd very much like to not see this dialog more than once a month.
No.

But isn't "determining the one true actual meaning of a thing" the entire point of hermeneutics? Or rather, hermeneutics is a technique for objectively determining what something does _not_ mean, which is incompatible with the idea that reality doesn't exist outside an interpretation.
I should mention that the numbers so far are preliminary based on my own bookkeeping, so I'll talk to my accountant about how to better map the transactions to my balance sheet and income statement.

Definitely good to get professional help so you can focus on the business. That being said, don't let them overcomplicate it. The thing about business, especially one that involves inventory, is that you're always looking at both accounting profit/loss, and cashflow.

Cashflow is the more important one, especially if you'd like to hit your 600k revenue goals as mentioned elsewhere. You can run an accounting loss almost forever as long as your cashflow is positive. This is how Amazon did it - they paid their suppliers (cash going out) less frequently than money coming in.

Interesting about the different component aspects - to get to 600k, I think you will certainly need to build some standardisation into your inventory, in terms of how many finished units you're holding, and establish a buying cadence.

One other element that can help plan is what you end up doing for the sales effort. If the sales is consistent (ie, you're blogging and that pulls in a relatively-consistent amount of traffic/sales), then you know your inventory level to plan for, and can just add a buffer. Same with ads/etc, there are ways to make the sales generation more mechanical, which helps with your inventory planning, which is the main driver of your profit.

Just to +1 this - a major reason we picked the car we picked last year was because it had AA. Now, you can upgrade most any system to it, but given we were buying a new vehicle anyway? It's just.... superior to any in-car system, and I'm not even an Android user !
Sport? I mean almost all the people I know had a broken bone or joint issue because of sport and then you have domestic accident.

For instance in Switzerland each year you have 550k non-professional accident (declared one to your employer) for 8.5M inhabitants. (Ref: SUVA annual report but only available in GE and FR)
For any given area, you will always be able to find an answer to "who's in charge here?," but I think there needs to be some degree of comprehensiveness and inclusion to call that authority "society."

For instance - in colonial states the "authority" is the colonial administrator - who are almost totally separate from the "society" of the country. I should have been more clear with terms in my first post. Trying again:

Strong human rights protections help guarantee that the administrative power of a state spends some time including all the people within its borders. Once those rights fall away, the chance of the state becoming more exclusionary and focused on the rights of a limited subset of the people within its borders seems high.

A military junta, for instance, is primarily concerned with keeping the military in power and doesn't devote attention or resources to much else.
