Yeah, I had to turn off swipe actions in gmail because of this.
That was entertaining to read. Thanks for the lolz.
The UX sin that bothers me the most lately is when I can enter data faster than the device can handle and it doesn't buffer. The example I gave last time is running calc.exe, then hitting enter and typing a formula. On Win10 you'll lose keypresses and half the formula, but not on the older versions. It used to be a very convenient way to do some quick maths without even interrupting my workflow, now I have to wait for it.

It's even in some games I've played recently, where I'm in a menu and hitting down twice then a button will sometimes ignore the second press because it's still playing a 'move the cursor' animation.

I was pleasantly surprised last time I snuck a look at the screen in my local post office where I saw an ASCII terminal UI full of text with hotkeys. There is a mistaken belief that complicated is bad, but in a job where you spend your whole day all week long it can be very beneficial because everyone can be a power user.
Most Robinhood users were holding GME in the past few days.
It's also a quality control issue. You can say goodbye to reliable suspend/resume once people start adding cheap RAM sticks to their laptops. The additional parasitic capacitance doesn't help with power consumption either.

Oh great; looking forward to trying them. For obvious reasons, I've hardly been anywhere for around 10 months now so I haven't come across any Polar chargers yet.
Oh yeah that is absolutely a direction I can see this going. But that's enabling completely custom UI/UX and behaviours per screen. It's the form-builder style generic tools that I think have limited uses in consumer software.

Same thing when viewing your downloads in Firefox for iOS.
I’m not sure mass deletions are the most clever approach. Seems like a systematic failure that needs to be fixed because these things will keep happening.

It’s a hard problem but Google doesn’t seem up to the task.

Let’s say you had a short position and then the app decided that those stocks can’t be traded with anymore. What do you do? Even the smallest act of downvoting the company is taken away from you.

I’m not disagreeing with Robinhoods position, but if I do I want to be able to make my voice heard with the tiniest fraction.

Raises a question also, if an app is the biggest front facing area, should reviews only be about technical prowess or do we want that simply because we are developers and it makes our life easier? Maybe tags? Categories?
Building Great Products: The Modern Team's Guide to Product Discovery
First Google with reviews, now Facebook. Why on Earth are they mixing themselves up in this? Both companies already gave people enough reasons to be angry at them earlier this month. A little more of this and I'll start believing that they want to get the wide public against them, for some reason.
> the current sentiment seems to be, at least overtly, to show a giant middle finger to established financial institutions, and make "them" suffer for 2008.

Which makes the fact that they stopped allowing buying the stock criminal imo. It means another squeeze is impossible, and the funds can safely now sit on their short orders.
It already was a dangerous scam app. The data on trades went straight to front running traders, so they could feed their algorithms and profit off your plans.
I should add that I'm pretty sure the actuarial derivatives pay out based on population-level official government statistics. They aren't based on the death rate of the population actually insured by one insurer, and the insurer has to hope that their insured population is similar to the population as a whole, or is at least predictably and consistently offset from the general population so that the hedges are strongly correlated with expenses.
If you need a EUR account with a good app, TransferWise, who power Revoluts multicurrency action on the backend, are pretty decent. Horrid luminous green card though.

I'm an investor in Revolut due to their aggressive growth strategy, but I wouldn't use them personally.

As for Monzo, I like their app but missing features like being able to view your full CVV number in app, or link the app to all your other bank accounts on the free tier, basically prevent me from using them as my primary bank
I agree with you, but I'm locked into ThinkPads due to the trackpoint.

To me, using a trackpad or having to carry a mouse around when trackpoints exist would be a massive downgrade in comfort and usability, comparable to e.g. not having a battery.

Thus, as trackpoint uptake from other brands is almost nonexistent, I'll swallow whatever crappy decision Lenovo comes up with in new laptops. They would have to do something exaggeratedly egregious (no battery? no USB ports? That kind of thing) for me to even consider the competition.

It's sad, but as bad as it is that Lenovo makes these changes, to me it's even worse that other brands don't even bother to offer a TrackPoint in at least some of their lineup, considering that it takes negligible space and the inconvenience for people who don't use it is near zero.

It's troubling to me that I cannot find anything on the Personium website that explains who is behind Personium. There is a link on the nav menu labelled <squiggle>, which might be chinese characters, next to a link labelled "English" - so I suppose the project is run by some chinese team.

A bit more openness might not go amiss.
There is no truly portable FS encryption managed by OS. I've not seen OS encryption which will allow mount the same drive e. g. in Windows and in FreeBSD. Or even to connect an encrypted drive to a Smart TV (which likely is Linux bused, but would not allow to install unsigned firmware).

What Jack Ma didn't tell you is that those things don't matter that much, it's more of a lip service to burnish his image, a victory lap. His father is well-connected both in business and politics and provided him access and opportunities plebs counld dream of. Hell he didn't even have any tech experience, he was a english teacher.

And Alipay would have been killed a million times as it infringes the state monopoly on finance, had him not been shielded by the quagmire of local and central politics.
Interesting, it was the first thing I checked. Loved that feature on the MacBooks so was very happy my X1 Carbon 5th Gen had it.
They arent and that is problematic
Last I heard they aggressively deduplicate across customers and also shared folders count towards the quotas of both sides, at least that is how it looked like to me.

Edit: But most importantly: if you sell me "x units of anything" it is not abuse if anyone use whatever they thought they bought.

I'll discuss it if a highly technical user keeps "trashing" it by uploading frequently changed and unique data for no good reason (like in trashing a cache) etc, but ordinary users, filling their quota to max? No way.
How are they fake reviews? The company has done something deeply unacceptable to its user base - why aren’t they entitled to update their reviews?
> I dont want to track it at all.

Then this project isn't for you.

> What this project is "aiming" for is IMO solution to a problem that doesnt exist.

No, there are many people who like to track all kinds of data that would find this project useful. I use Perkeep, DayOne, IFTTT, LifeCycle, Exist, Gyroscope, RescueTime, Pinboard, Pocket, OwnTracks, and probably some others I've forgotten to track everything I possibly can and keep it logged. Why? Because a) I forget things and it's nice to have an external memory, and b) I like to play around with the data and do things like "what's the biggest geographical span I've visited per month in a given year?" or "which roads within a 2km radius have I not yet walked down?"

Just because you don't have a need for a project or understand why other might doesn't mean it's "a problem that doesn't exist".

Not that I'm aware of but it would be a fascinating (albeit fictional) deep dive if I ever came across some anecdotes of that.

By "similar idea from a different age" I'm assuming you're speaking of Terence McKenna's Timewave Zero?

Never heard of TempleOS before, but God speaking through the machine isn't quite a novel theme I guess (referencing Ghost in the Machine[0]). I reckon at some point Machine Learning will resemble the fabled Artificial General Intelligence, and that subsequent emergent property could in turn be conflated with God by some stretch of the imagination or context — if it uses a TRNG vs a PRNG well then we'll have something on our hands :)

1. What kind of "operate on" wouldn't necessitate sending you contacts to them?

2. Because they're YouTube videos that you watched on YouTube and pressed the like button on YouTube. If you "like" them using a 3rd party client (I think NewPipe cam do this) then that information is saved locally

3. "Why is sharing my GITHUB repo something GITHUB has to do, and not me?" - see the problem now?

4. Because there are like 50 of us that would actually care to do that and there's no money in it for them. FWIW, doing that is actually possible these days with all the GDPR data export options, just a little tedious.
Robinhood, apart from holding a big chunk of the market, were not the only brokers freezing buys on GME, AMC and others -- Trading 212, eToro, CashApp, and more I forgot by now froze it as well. Your only options were "non-app" brokers, like a bank stock portfolio, which no one could really open on the same day.

Agree - your comment makes me think of a tweet[1] I read recently:

"If you're collecting personal data, 'how should I protect this?' is actually your third question.

'Should I collect this?' is only the second question.

The first question is 'what would the worst people do if they got hold of this?'"

They'll be sticking it up to the man at their expense, or the bigger sucker that comes in after them. Maybe it's worth the money for some.

Sooner or later it will pop, it's not like the GME business suddenly got 50x more valuable (and it's not looking to get, any time soon). So the last suckers will be left with an expensive paper that pays little to no dividend, or they can try to sell it to a market where no one wants it.
>> I suppose I am missing something, how come it takes much longer for you?

Not the OP, but at a guess (one of my relatives has kidney disease and take their blood pressure twice a day every day), it takes about 5' to relax, then another 5' to take two readings and combine the results. My relative takes three readings and keeps the last. From my understanding this is common with electronic devices, where the measured BP changes between readings.

Again from my relative's experience (I helped them with a bit of code to keep track of their BP and plot it etc) the trend is usually monotonic, i.e. either it starts low and goes up a bit, or it starts high and goes down a bit. Sometimes more than "a bit", like from 130/80 to 120/70 (i.e. from hypertensive to normotensive range), etc. Manual sphygmomanometers don't seem to have the same variance in their readings. From my understanding, the digital devices have some kind of model that estimates BP from the readings of an oscillometric sensor and are less accurate than the hand-operated ones. The table-top mercury ones are the most reliable of the bunch. And as to finger-cuff devices, you might as well read tea leaves.

Isn’t there an option for GME to issue new stock priced below 200/300/400 which can be bought up by the short sellers? That would relieve their short position, allow an influx of cash for GME, and the only ones that would be hurt would be people who bought at a high price hoping to hold out for an even higher price.

Not an expert or even a participant in this whole thing, but it seems to me that if there is a short squeeze (as i understand it after a week of reading the news) that is only bad if there is a limited amount of stock. If GME release new shares and the hedge funds buy up those new shares at a lower price than the WSB 300/400 buys, that could be bad for the WSB crowd.

NB - Not at all sure this is possible, or that GME would want to sell their stock for 100 when there are buyers at 300/400.
My least favorite google UX is in youtube. It's almost impossible to swipe backwards, and videos (ads) keep playing after back swiping multiple times. Even after swiping back to the home screen. It plays the ad over the home screen, and you have to click a tiny x to actually stop the ad.

No, I’m sorry but you clearly don’t have much knowledge of Christianity or religion in general. As is usual with the vocal atheist crowd, unfortunately. None of what you said or linked to is the mainstream or even acceptable fringe of Christian thought. As I said above, your understanding of these issues is very lacking.

Even if one were to assume your ignorant argument is true, it’s also not really relevant. The fact that God is a “King” doesn’t somehow confer the same properties onto human kings or governments. Again, basic theology 101 here.

These are quite interesting topics but the level of discussion (exemplified by your remarks here) is often at such a low level, it’s kind of embarrassing, honestly.
Did the salaries drop or rise?
The perfect event (the capitol) to normalise the practice even further.

> capital returns != interest rates

What makes the difference? That one comes from stocks and the other from bonds and loans? Or the amount of risk associated with it?

I don't think there is a difference for an investor who just picks whatever instrument yielding higher ROI, whether it is risky tech startups or risk free government bonds.

Tech startups have higher return on capital with higher risk, government bonds have low yield but small risk. Risk adjusted those terms seem interchangeable to me.
Obama birtherism was dumb but never took over swathes of institutions like this. Even Trump abandoned it before he became President.

What we're seeing now is not merely a set of hysterical beliefs, but widespread pulling on the levers of power on the basis of them. That seems pretty new.
This is bad.

I can absolutely understand it for a political pile-on, or an unrelated protest, but this is a fundamental complaint with the service not following operating procedure.

If I were king, the app would be pulled until financial amends were made.
Interesting. I guess we can blame the lack of e-ink devices on the display technologies which are being developed (oled, microled, ips, tn, etc). E-ink has a limited purpose while color/fast updating displays have more use potential in various industries and products. Don’t get me wrong, I love e-ink. It’s just that even in the case of displays, winner takes all.
It’s not the same though, because when done manually it is possible to be overloaded with the sheer volume of imagery to comb through.

Like saying someone is able to manually throw a grenade so we might as well just carpet bomb everything.

Ehm no, its the Address-book of my phone. From Dog-sitters to Family and Business.
Also, getting a job after a startup failure might be easy in the US or other developed countries, but this will not be the situation in a country like India, where the supply of cheap labor far exceeds the demand and only people from elite university titles will be able to get back to a job better than their last one.
I am posting this as an independent comment.

There isn't a "popular" CPU architecture that is 100% PIC for all of the allowed address ranges. There are "optimizations" the compiler can choose for limited addresses "reaches". Please consider independently compiled libraries that are aggregated into something larger, specifically languages that permit subclassing and inheritance. How can they be moved within an address space?

If there is a hierarchy of address availability this means that ASLR cannot be implemented in a pure way - it must involve runtime fix-ups if the base address changes. If the length of an instruction must change because of the addressing mode, what happens? How can you do ALSR? Do you rewrite all instructions (is there space? was space allocated?) or always use the most expensive address mode?
Mixed feelings. I'm not huge into this direct life automation, but I do automatically download most of my data from 3rd party platforms, including banking data, expenses, documents I scan on my phone (i. e. letters) and load them onto my NAS. I then have automated scripts that categorize, catalogue and index the data. For only very few of them I look at the data specifically, but it just makes me feel at ease to a) know it's there and b) know it's organized and I don't have to do it.
> In my view, hedge funds have implicitly colluded for years on short positions because it's in their best interests not to screw each other over the long haul. Imagine going against Citadel as a fund. Your career is over. The fact the short interest rose to 140% is proof of that.

Reality says otherwise. Hedge funds get into trouble at the expense of hedge funds taking the other side of the bet all the time. Their entire business model is based around claiming the ability to beat the market by winning zero-sum bets, and in the long run the more funds they screw over the better their reputation and the more fund management fees they collect. Not going against downward pressure on a security if you think the other fund is undervaluing it and the risk is tolerable is literally leaving money on the table.

As for Citadel, they'll be delighted that a fund got into so much trouble it begged them for a bailout on whatever terms Citadel was willing to offer (and used the funds to unwind its exposure to that market).

No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that if you have a working mechanism for contract enforcement, then insurer specific mechanisms on top should be redundant. The replies arguing with this seem to mostly be arguing that contracts don't really work, at least in the USA. Contracts are a very general construct that really do need to work, and it'd make far more sense to make them more enforceable than set up hundreds of industry specific commissions to try and make every commercial dispute one between a company and the government.
I always check FDroid first, but the selection is far from sufficient. I do hope it continues to grow.
Is it possible to automate those reviews? As far as I can tell, you need the app installed to review. I'm guessing you can only review one. I'm guessing you'd need to use separate accounts, but that you could use one physical device (although Google could obviously limit reviews-per-device to a reasonable number). Can you affiliate more than one account with the same bank account?
TD Ameritrade was the only brokerage firm that agreed to open an account for me, living in Algeria, when I was a student about a decade ago. They even mailed in all the required paperwork at the time, got on the phone and explained the details and answered my questions.

Every other firm I tried to open an account with refused for policy reasons. It was shortly after that that PayPal blocked my account without giving any reason, even after exchanging with their support team. They insisted it was a definitive, irrevocable, decision with no recourse.
Here are my annoyances as someone without an account that dips in from time to time via links or news stories.
