I'd say that having the share is important for the person buying the stock.

Short-selling is forbidden to reduce the risk that when you want to buy a share and buy the share you find a few days later that in fact you didn't quite buy a share because whoever sold the share to you didn't have one to sell.

But it's fine, I concede the point.

As far as I care, you can find weird to distinguish "naked" shorting from "borrow-and-sell" shorting because if the short-seller who didn't borrow the stock before selling it does borrow the stock afterwards to be able to settle the trade the end result is the same.
So does the stock market: a company can always issue more stock. And a market can allow naked short sales to provide liquidity.
Because it takes time for Apple to migrate everyone over from old expectations, and Apple made a fortune on hardware markup on the computer purchase.
A quick google shows eMMC flash memory for the compute module...do you need to mindfully control writing to flash to keep something like this from nuking the boot device? Could be my choice of storage (whatever $4 buys at Microcenter) but the failure mode on my RPi weather station was SD card death. I'd hate to rely on that for a NAS.
We use HYPR as well at our org. Has been a pretty great experience and everyone seems to like it so far
Alien just repackages files and doesn't keep important metadata like package dependencies, so it likely won't work at all in most cases.
Accessibility in the web standards and specifications isn't a niche, even if most implementations don't bother.
They get interest from Person B, and when the short contract is up, they can force Person B (or more accurately their broker who passes the price on) to buy a replacement stock, regardless of the price. Alternatively, they can attempt to open another short contract, paying more interest to have continue to borrow the stock. Sooner or later, however, person B is legally and contractually required to to return an identical share to person A.
Is the engineering/logistics behind Mechanical watches really
costlier than Oneplus phones ?

Yes and no, right?

Altogether, there are probably orders of magnitude more engineering involved in a mobile phone. But a lot of the "hard stuff" when it comes to a OnePlus phone is not done by them: they are not running their own chip foundries, designing their own silicon, researching their own battery tech, mining their own rare earth elements for the batteries, writing their own kernel from scratch, etc.

Which is not to say I personally find a Tissot to be worth $700, relative to other watches.

But! This stuff is all just "functional jewelry" anyway; even a Rolex doesn't keep time as well as a $15 quartz Casio. Could a Tissot provide $700 of happiness to somebody else, who isn't me? Maybe! Heck, I'm not even familiar with their whole catalog, perhaps they have a bunch of watches I'd love.

It's also worth noting you can get a perfectly nice mechanical watch from Seiko or Orient for $100-$500USD. For me, that starts to approach some kind of reasonable value. Not on purely functional terms, but as something I will wear and enjoy for hundreds and possibly thousands of hours? I can't justify it on logical terms, but there are worse ways to spend disposable income. Barring disaster a watch will also work for decades, which is not likely to provide much joy to the owner beyond five years or so.

(In fact if you don't mind buying from non-authorized dealers you can actually get a Tissot for cheap as well - I've seen them for not much over $100)
Well that's wrong analogy. The right analogy would be if you borrowed a pizza from your mate and sold it to someone.

Nazi Germany was pretty much "the west", I don't know what do you mean about that. But just to be clear: yes, I think that it was wrong for Nazi Germany to invade their eastern neighbors. In more modern terms, I'd say that we shouldn't have sponsored the overthrow of Libya and given it to religious fundamentalists, for example.
If you're concerned about availability of parts, why not just keep some cold spares around? It's not like we're talking about expensive and specialized hardware here.
Maybe a better question would be are you willing to allow crimes against humanity to occur if you can avoid personally fighting against it?

Plus there is a whole spectrum of physical intervention if we choose to. E.g. drones, supporting insurgencies, etc... that doesn't even require boots on ground.

This principle would be under R2P responsibility to protect.
That population growth doesn't seem to exist. Certainly not in NYC graphs.

San Francisco was exponential growth until 1940, then flatlined since 1950.

Detroit and Baltimore were those destination cities until 1970 or so.

Huge population growth in large cities is a pre-WWII effect and its an outside the US effect.

Last time NYC had Shenzhen-like population growth was over a century ago.
Selling something you don't own.
You speak as though app developers are swimming in money, but the fact is that the App Store market is very top heavy. As usual, "the 1%" are doing extremely well, but the vast majority of app developers are not making a lot of money. Apple's recent small business program is tacit acknowledgement from Apple that many developers are struggling financially and cannot afford even the 30% cut.

In comparison, the so-called "gig economy" is also extremely large, perhaps even larger in total dollars than the App Store, but that doesn't mean individual gig workers are doing well.

This is a clickbaity and obviously untrue title. Even a single step in this process requires more than "just a few minutes." No reasonable person would suggest that you should undertake building your own cryptocurreny (or doing anything with crypo) without a solid education first, including making a choice about what platform you want to build your currency on and why.

> My concern is that this propaganda is leading to people changing their behaviour: unaware they are being fed 'generic content' for some accidental, meaningless 'singanal' they sent, their habits/emotions/self-perception is being distorted to fit the stupidity of the average.

This is definitely happening on a global scale already.

It doesn't matter if a movie is "good", if netflix decides to feed it to everyone it will become #1. It doesn't matter is a song is "good", if spotify decides it's the next hit it will become one. &c.

It's like TV or radio on steroids, everyone listen to the same thing, read the same articles, watch the same netflix shows. Anecdata: a lot of my friends started to play chess seemingly out of nowhere, I really didn't get it until I learned there was a new netflix show about chess that made the game hype again

In Rust things that can be rendered to a string (in a user-friendly manner) implement the Display trait. A slice of things that can be rendered would have this type: `&[&dyn Display]`.
It’s definitely not just used for important cases, and the bar to getting a warrant in a lot of jurisdictions is so low as to be nearly meaningless. Unless you and I have different interpretations of what cases are important, which is totally possible too

I'm a moderator of /r/silverbugs (same username) and I'm over this crap.

Our sub is for physical silver, for people that see silver as a hobby. Since Thursday morning I've been averaging about 4 hours of moderating a day just going through the moderation queue. I've personally banned hundreds of brand new/never before used accounts that only have post histories in subs related to this 'movement' and then come over to us to spam crap.

This morning I woke up and approved/removed posts in the queue for 39 minutes to empty it out. Went to the toilet and came back to 70 something new ones.

The sheer amount of blatant bot/disingenuous accounts spamming our sub for this 'movement' is insane. You'd think if they were going to spam the crap out of our sub with their nonsense, they'd at least buy me a cup of diet coke.

sigh I hope this ends soon.
What's the incentive for the US? There were clear objectives when US invaded Iraq and Afghanistan. Without those the invasion is anyway more trouble than its worth.

Contradictory logic pfft.

Have you checked your families google app/news feed or whatever they are calling that thing these days. Its like Meghan Markle is the most important person in the world.

I mean initially it was fun to rib my Dad about why he is getting so many Meghan Markle updates. But now I am just scared to even look at phones in the family, given the amount of addictive garbage that is being pumped into them non stop.
Is a future contract fraudulent then?

If I sell you an August-settled coffee future, that's a promise to deliver you coffee in August. Is it fraudulent if I don't have the coffee right now? After all, I've sold you something I don't own.

Of course it isn't. What matters is that the contract is fulfilled, and for equity sales in the US, the contract states that a share will be delivered to the buyer 2 days after the transaction.
As a household backup device, rather than a NAS, this is actually pretty good.

Use mdadm RAID-10 across four spinning disks, or RAID-1 across a pair and have two slots free. If the board fails, you can plug them into any other Linux box with SATA ports available.

Most people have no better than 1Gb/s ethernet available in their house anyway. One expects a backup or restore to take a while, but also not to be interactive.

It's probably cheaper to repurpose an old desktop, but this will probably use less power, even when both are asleep.
Yeah, USB drives with their own power supplies work very well with the Pi, but I can imagine high workloads could quickly run into problems and/or bottlenecks.
Always loved the simplicity of iCloud passwords. Now we need a desktop app ala onepasword for everything that happens outside of the browser.
As weird and inefficient as it may seem at first glance, JSON in a database can have a variety of uses, so I certainly see the benefit.

But… is there any use for a null byte explicitly in a JSON string? The de facto standard (easy to use and instantly recognisable) for blobs seems to be base64. I can’t think of any meaningful data benefits other than data efficiency (which is easily mitigated by storing the blob directly in the database).
I think every enterprise tries to build this themselves and ends up buying a very expensive platform when their internal project fails. Thanks for creating this.
The app could very well be developed before and you stole it from their version control, or copied ideas the posted in their blogs, or copied from their betas.

Or theirs could be available in another store, and you copied theirs from there.
The fetishism of biological locomotion is just a form of Luddism. Our backs are poorly designed. The amount of human suffering caused by damage to our backs is immeasurable. Promoting more of that is just cruel.

Pushing the environment to the detriment of human happiness and progress should never be a goal. There is a balance we can seek to not destroy our cradle while not hobbling ourselves.

The idea that we must abandon progress when we have basically endless untapped power is just a death cult.
Well I suppose as long as you're on the good side of history it's ok to apply censorship to people who are on the bad side of history. Isn't that what the argumentation you put forth boils down to? I mean sure, ethically, if you know that bad things will happen if you allow free speech, then you are ethically obliged to not allow it. Not a very complex situation ethically.

But what happens when you are wrong about the bad things that would happen if you allowed free speech. Being right in some cases does not mean being right in all cases. And as far as I can see, it is not a clear cut ethical situation in that regard.

There is a clear line-drawing problem. Is all nationalism equal to nazism? Is all vaccine-skepticism anti-vaxx?

I totally agree that debate almost never actually changes the views of the one you are arguing with, iirc, there are studies that show the opposite is more common. (that they become more firm in their views) However, debates are seldom held in private, onlookers are far more likely to be subject to positive influence if they do not have a horse in that race. And I do believe that if debates are allowed, the majority of debates will be won by the positive influence, meaning the positive influence will be the dominant one in society.

And regarding the escalation of violence that "Trump supporters and QAnons" have been part of, what came first, the violence or the censorship? I believe that censorship often leads to violence, because what alternate conflict resolution channels do you leave available when debate is stifled?

I suppose you could do a DMCA takedown? but that would really seem like using a morally compromised solution for good, as opposed to the more normal using morally neutral solutions for good.
There's a fallacy in your claims. Shorting affects the owners of the stock. But publicly traded companies don't normally own a large amount of their own stock. Their stock price doesn't have that direct an effect on their balance sheets. It affects their credit worthiness, but not in a mechanistic way. (Believe me, Gamestop isn't finding it easier to borrow just because its price has gone bonkers.)
The same concept exists in crypto. It’s called flash loans. Ethereum smart contracts can absolutely sell tokens that they don’t own, as long as they buy them back before the end of the transaction. Like traditional market making, this is used to arb price differences in the Defi ecosystem and improve liquidity.

You borrow it, then you have it, but the lender still owns it (and is long one = zero physical, one lent), and you have to return it. You own zero shares (flat = one physical, one borrowed). Then you sell it, and now somebody else has it and owns it (and is long one = one physical, zero lent), while you own minus one (short one = zero physical, one borrowed).

Is that not an apter description?

You may not be thinking it through all the way. Every in-house EV that a company like GM produces can be considered as absorbing one regulatory credit that GM would otherwise have to buy in the open market (eg, from Tesla). The competing car makers won't have to buy Tesla's regulatory credits, even if their EVs are no more profitable than those of Tesla.

By "niche" here, we mean affecting very few people, I think?

Then "accessiblity" in general is not niche, it effects everyone or almost everyone.

But "accessibilty" is a broad concept, applying to all sorts of different unrelated needs. Vision impairment, cognitive differences, mobility needs, etc.

Some of them effect more people than others. Some of them will be "niche", effecting few people. it is just a fact, right? It is faulty logic to say that because "accessibility" effects everyone, every single accessibility accomodation is also therefore of use to everyone. It's not so.

How much need is there for multi-lingual screen-reading? I have no idea. It's obviously not universal -- I don't need it for instance, although I may need other kinds of accessibility attention -- but there may be lots of need for it! But we can't prove it one way or another just from language games around the general concept of "accessiblity".

Whether developers ought to accomodate even niche accessibility needs is a separate ethical or practical argument.

[Posting here on the assumption the parent comment will likely stay at the top]

What about... a service, that helps walk you through these kinds of situations, handles country-specific implementation details, can help figure out the best approach for a given scenario, and give you the best chance of getting things sorted out...

...and...

...is NOT a "welcome, welcome, one and all" type of environment, and requires Twitter, GitHub, an HN profile, proof of long-term domain registration (eg, Internet Archive history) - the kinds of things that would be infuriatingly difficult for a scammer to successfully clone?

HN is absolutely big enough that "the HN crowd" would use something like this.

In fact, a service like this could theoretically develop working relationships with contacts inside Apple and Google, build a history/reputation of forwarding accurate, high-signal issues, and maybe help to mitigate the current mess of "problem must attract 10K views to be fixed".

>"You have to embrace functional programming as a paradigm."

Why would I embrace/commit to any particular paradigms? I would use whatever I believe is best suitable for particular task. All those are just tools like a screwdriver. They're here to work for us, not the other way around.
I don't think this is the same. If you sell a house that is mortgaged you essentially pay off the mortage and therefore gain ownership and then transfer that ownership onto the buyer. The example with subletting is also wrong - the fitting analogy would be if you rented a flat and then sold it to someone.
>I seriously doubt this has ever happened in the history of the App Store.

Don't know about the App Store, but people have copied in-progress websites and did copy-cat products (sometimes complete with the original artwork/styles).

I would think 2000 euro in Denmark would be about a student's living expenses.
1000-2000 a month is hardly “jet setting” and has nothing to do with instagram. We are talking the difference between living in a shared accommodation and maybe having a small apartment, maybe having a used car, etc.

Plenty of students get bankrolled by a combination of scholarships, their parents, and loans, and have for decades. There’s nothing wrong with it (or with going the frugal route either).

Edit:
To live in dorm 25 years ago in a standard Canadian university (for me) it cost $500/month plus another $500 a month in mandatory food card. That’s equivalent to 650 euros. That’s plus utilities, off campus food and drink, computer, recreation, and transportation, probably another 100-150 euros. My family was hardly rich (school teacher and truck driver) and helped out, I worked part time, and took out loans. Things are more expensive now.

> Lets take a yellow cab driver in Manhattan not wanting to pick up a black passenger. If you ask them, they’ll assume its because the black passenger lives in Brooklyn or some other not-Manhattan place and that the driver wont get a good tip and wont be able to get fares at the destination, making it less economical.

This isn’t an example of institutional racism, just regular racism. Institutional racism would be something like legacy preferences for college admittance. Most universities and colleges either explicitly or implicitly banned or discouraged black students from attending for many decades. So, a disproportionate number of legacy students are white because a disproportionate number of past generations allowed to attend were white. Giving preference to legacy students disadvantages black students, not because anyone is being explicitly racist, but because the system is set up in a way that ends up disadvantaging them. No is looking at a black applicant and saying they don’t want them or a white applicant and saying lets pick this person, but the pattern of passing down preferential admittance to the children, grandchildren, etc. of whites who were able to attend because they were white is institutional. Legacy students are just acting in their own self-interest by using the preference system. The school is acting in self-interest by promoting the legacy system as a benefit to attending that will benefit your future children.

That second one is probably the more important one. A null byte in plain text is probably an error. A null byte in a json string may be intentional if perhaps questionable. JSON strings are frequently abused for various transport formats.
