Brazil seemed to only have 2-3 videos which are very easy to guess. I'd love to have a lot more to work with.

Which truth?
There's a very different risk profile for me (an individual investor) if I'm buying shares from someone who doesn't have them, and merely promises to deliver them, than if they're backed by real shares. I'd like my brokerage to be holding real shares on my behalf for real dollars I gave them. I don't want them loaning my shares out either.

They're mine.

If there are naked shorts floating around (or shorts covered by my stock without permission), someone else is making money off of risk I am taking on, but didn't agree to. There can be a cascading set of failures which lands with me not having my shares.

It's the difference between taking out a $300,000 mortgage on a $500,000 house, versus borrowing $300,000 with no collateral. You'll get a different interest rate, if you can get a loan at all. And this resembles someone taking a $300,000 mortgage, only missing the house.

Yes, there's always a risk, but that risk profile is very, very different (esp. in the case of catastrophic events, like a stock market collapse or similar, when many institutions might be going down at the same time).
In no way was SMS free across all of Europe.

It also depended on your plan, the cheaper the plan, the less freebies you had and parents never got their kids the top spec plan. My parents only got me a cell-phone with a pre-paid SIM for "emergencies" and didn't have enough credit on it to text too many people so IM over yahoo! messenger on the PC was used by teens for chatting at the time.

Growing up in Eastern Europe with a basic cell-phone plan, before the days of all you can talk/text, it was common to "beep"[1] people when you were on a prepaid SIM and had little or no credit on it.

[1]Calling someone and quickly hanging up after hearing the phone "ring" or "beep", and hope the person on the other end heard it and cares enough about you to spend their dime calling you back. It was also a sign of stinginess/poverty if you did this but it was very popular due to the high cost and low wages at the time.

This doesn't distinguish between shorting and naked shorting. But in either case I don't understand why I'm supposed to be upset. Is it because the stock price goes down?

> In F# the order of the files matter.

I didn’t quite understand this section and it seems very counterintuitive can someone elaborate a little?
Unfortunate, but in the end it is Apple's platform and they have the right to allow anybody they see fit. I'm sure Apple will earn more from the scam app than the real one, since the scam has an exorbitant weekly subscription, so I can see Apple's incentive.

If the OP doesn't like it he can make his own Iphone/iwatch with it's own app store and sell billions of phones and watches. Then use those to distribute his app.
If F# ever got something akin to Scala Native, or Kotlin Native, I think it'd do really well. In my limited understanding of the F# ecosystem, I don't believe there are a lot of voices calling towards a multiplatform future beyond the NET world. Fable is cool, but native is a must-have for a lot of people, myself included.

The docs are bad but not inexcusably so, it's a nice project within MS, I get it. The underlying machinery leaks a little into the language, things like "discard" are irritating but not unforgivable. And it's not just running native, I know NET nerds will want to tell me about corert or native or whatever it's called, but that doesn't solve the issue. F# has a weak core, it's not like Clojure where I have this wide array to choose from regardless of the platform. I can choose NET or Fable and the development experience varies wildly between those two environments, in my limited experience.

All in all, I think F# will live a medium-length life. Without solving the native problem and moving beyond NET, I don't see it flourishing in many important niches.

If I was going to adopt a new language, it'd probably be Nim over F#, etc.
The problem is that hedgefunds call retail traders stupid and if they are really that stupid then they will hold the bags, which is exactly what the shorts don't want.
Your comment could explain why they need to have downtime for maintaining something. Maybe even a pressing security fix, that breaks things.

That being said, I don't understand why companies don't have test systems for validation of updade and maintenance procedures.

My systems actually always had two test systems. One which was identical with Prod, and another one where test-users could test new features coming out of development system(s).

I've done FP (several years of Erlang), and I use FP daily in my work (since most languages support FP to varying degrees).

I see no point in F# other than "well, it's a nice-ish ML for .NET", and the article does nothing to help with that (file order? really? that's what you're going for as the first point to make about a language?) .

I've been playing Stadia since it launched. Now, I'm a casual gamers, I haven't bought hardware since PS2 and play games on my mobile occasionally, but I have been blown away my Stadia. I simply cannot get my head around how it can stream a game, in 4K, to my TV.

I recently purchased Cyberpunk 2077 and was stunned at the amount of complaining about poor graphics, glitches, gameplay etc. as I have experienced none of those.

As for latency and lag, my most popular game to play is PUBG, which is any game should suffer from those issues you'd think it would be a multiplayer, battle royale game like PUBG. But no, other than being very bad at it, I've never experienced what feels like input lag or latency issues.

When I purchase a stock, I do it in the express belief that I will get a physical (though digitally stored) share of that company, and possibly one that gives me a voting right if the stock is marked as such. When a stock “fails to clear” this gives me a ton of problems such as slippage and volatility, and possibly a quite substantial loss.

Same if you buy an apple, I'm sure you'd only do it in the belief that you will actually get something edible. If I got nothing, I'd want my money back! But then when you buy an apple, you can see and touch it before you commit. Not so with stocks. And so you buy it while trusting the broker that your order will actually be met.

If instead my money is “borrowed” without my concent for some nefarious activity—in order to create more “liquidity”—that has a name: It's fraud. It's fraud of the customer whose money is being stolen. It's fraud of the customer who's being fooled into thinking that he's buying a real stock. That these shares do not exist, isn't some slip-up. It's an intentional effort, done with the motive of earning money by exploiting the trust of their customers. Such action should thus clearly be illegal.

Same if you bought a stock, and your broker suddenly decides to steal it without your knowledge, and loan it out in order to sell it in the hopes of earning money if its value drops (i.e. short the stock). Clearly you'd want to know if your property is being loanded out, because it means that you're incurring risk, no matter if you're compensated for it through interest or not.

The boba phenomenon has always surprised me. I enjoy boba, but there are so many other cool slimy-solids-in-sweet-drink to be had at Ranch 99 market (the Chinese supermarkets in California): grass jelly, basil seed drink, nata de coco, and some I’m forgetting. It seems that most boba tea places only have the regular tapioca balls.

I was once in Chinatown in New York and found a sweet tea with small mushrooms floating in it (I think they were straw mushrooms) but I can’t find anything like it with Google. Then there is falooda from India with vermicelli, among others. But I think the next popular “drink/dessert” will be Filipino halo halo.

It’s a wide world out there.

We need to give the police additional powers? These unelected people appear to have more power than our elected official already. Steeply and swiftly reducing their power sounds way more appropriate.

I always find it funny how there's a mainstream political opinion in the US that strongly distrusts the government AND wants the police to have unlimited unencumbered power without any oversight.
Beyond using TLS for the connections, I struggle to understand what Gemini offers over Gopher. Gopher's document type is bare bones text also. Gopher is an open standard also. There's many clients and servers for many platforms, and it's easy to implement.

This blog post is really a great piece in my opinion, because it puts a name (domestication) to a feeling I commonly had for some tools and service but that was hard to formalize.

The example with Signal is great: I tried to explain to people that yes, it is way better to use it instead of whatsapp, but still suboptimal compared to other solutions despite it to maybe be the safest.

For example, I put a lot of value to not depend on a device like a specific phone and be able to easily do backup everything in a processable format!

In an F# project file (and thus also in all editor support), the referenced F# source files have an order. Files can only see types, values etc defined in files above them (and the same within files, with some caveats). This sounds really weird and annoying but turns out to have some surprising benefits (because it limits the mental/real search space for definitions as well). In practice it's just something that is surprising at first, then totally fine.
It's not obvious at all that one piece of information is completely wrong and another, much more difficult to consume piece of information, is accurate.

I think he means you have to write down a list of files in your project somewhere, but each file can only depend on files that come before it in the list. So the files with the fewest dependencies (e.g. utility type stuff) come first, and `main.fs` (or whatever) comes last.

> “the margin call expires and they have to buy”

Not sure what you mean by this, but I presume you're referring to options expiration. Some people, with a tenuous/non existent grasp of this stuff were running around screaming "naked shorts" and thinking that Citadel and other market makers were going to need to buy massive amounts of underlying to deliver against their short calls. But the entire reason a gamma squeeze works is because the MMs are buying in their delta as it moves against them. So that was never a very good theory. Opex also means that a lot of gamma expired, which would offset whatever opex buying actually needed to be done.

> everyone just updated their takes to Monday instead

The average Robinhooder/Twitter jockey perhaps. What actually happened is that S3 Partners, who do predictive analytics on short interest (which are officially released fairly sporadically) have suggested that their early take on Thu/Fri trading is that shorts covered a fairly large amount. Given that this whole squeeze is a momentum game requiring coordination and confidence amongst the longs, taking out a huge chunk of the fuel would likely impact the confidence of a long, which in turn ruins the coordination.

> How do we know this won’t just sputter for another week or two and then end in the most anticlimactic way possible?

We don't, it could sputter on. It could go up, down, or sideways. GME could be permanently a $300 company for all we know. Trades don't deal in absolutes, but rather probabilities.
Does it matter? 1 stock = 1 stock. 1 stock should never be 2 stocks.

It’s because I believe in ownership of what you make. If you founded a company, sold 10% on public markets for float, and magically 20% of your cap table now exists on the NYSE; something is horrifically wrong.

And yes, you would have suffered negative financial outcomes because of the counterfeiting.

That's not how inflation works or is determined. Instead go to your country's office for statistics Web site.

FWIW, here that's 0.3% inflation on food and non-alcoholic beverages, 1.3% in total from 2020-06 to 2020-12. Both numbers are ordinary/close to expected.

To see an inflation of 30%, I have to take the difference to 2007.

Someone was complaining that mail sent from ProtonMail was unreadable to them. Turned out to be because of base64 encoding. Which is an RFC standard. However, several people in the thread insist that this is a problem.

Theo de Raadt, the founder and leader of OpenBSD says in the thread:

> Maybe it should be blocked. Then the users there can tell them to fix it.

> Would have no downside for me.

I guess this may be what happened?

Really weird IMO. But at the same time I kind of see their point. They have a setup that works for them. And if they want to keep that system the way that it is, it is up to them. Still sad for people that use ProtonMail that they are blocked from even reading the list though if I understood the GP here correctly.
Just to finish my thought here... The problem deep down is that there is a market for your personal data. If you destroy that market (ie stiffer regulation) most problems with lock-in go away. Lock-in in itself can also be dealt with, ie Brussels brand new DSA and DSM could potentially address these issues.

Ok, yes, if that's not 4k aligned & padded you could read data from that (otherwise the OS wouldn't load something from it to then write data to the same blocks) - I had somehow missed that on rereading. But even then it's not in the U2F block format, so you'd have to randomly have a block in your firmware that matches the format correctly for that bug to trigger.
