Lots and lots of people built their first PC. Because being on lockdown and getting a stimulus check does that.
Demand has gone up, shortage even on PSU. There's hardly any shipping through air, because that is usually done in cargo bay of passenger planes. (with 5x increase in air shipping prices), so most must happen through ship, and all ships are full. There is also Chinese new year, where fabrics are closed for a while.

I do hope that this is a revival of the desktop PC!
Thanks for sharing this, Global Witness appears to have a pretty wonderful page on the topic[0].
It reminds me of the images of the Serra Pelada miners in Powaqqatsi[1], which is 20+ years old.
It's sad to see how little progress we've made, in some ways.

Holly shit, this is an exceptionally informative piece of information. It makes sense now why the GME movement, but I doubt that most who joined it actually understand the purpose. This needs to be more widespread
considering the ever mounting respect and trust that American policing has earned over the last decade you can certainly see how this is a really good business decision on Amazon's part.
Early warning signs of shitty software
I find it interesting that Germany is one country which does this. A country which has strict privacy regulations and people prefer to use cash rather than cards, but they are happy to carry a device which can track their every movement and is tied to their government identification. This isn't an EU thing, there are quite a few EU countries where you can buy and activate a SIM without any ID.

Have there been any cases where the people have spoken out against such regulations, and they have been reversed?
SMS is a poor replacement tbh. It still costs money in some places, doesn't support rich text/emoji, multimedia support is extremely dodgy, and it is completely without security or privacy.
The money is in general gpu-like compute, not in actual GPU operations.

Blending pixels is becoming less and less important in the power budget of mobile devices too.
MIT, Stanford, etc. still give Cambridge/Mountain View housing-owning, BMW-driving salaries. With tenure, baseline CS salary is around $200k, with a 20% carve-out for consulting (which, with the brand stamp, leads many to be obscenely rich).

And most -- not all but most -- new faculty hires cheat in some way to get there, at the elites (at the very least, overselling results, but often intentionally p-hunting, stealing credit, and similar).
I can't help but notice a parallel with horse races and mafia. They say some mobsters love to bet in horse races. They end up betting on the best horses. Where mafia rules, it becomes an open secret you're not supposed to bet on "their" horses. They don't fancy sharing money with you.

It allows you to envision your application as a series of data transforms, instead of a list of steps. This allows much more proximal abstractions for tasks involving data manipulation.
> Investing 50/50 in S&P and Bizarro-S&P, substantially improves the amount of return you can access for the same risk.

I can see how this would lower the volatility of your portfolio. But how do you improve the return in this scenario?

> This is the same reason that a 60/40 stock-bond portfolio has massively outperformed 100% stocks historically

How is this possible? If I invest 100% in stocks, my return after 10 years is higher than 60/40 stock-bond. So why do you say the latter outperforms it?
I would argue that that complexity should be handled by the screenreader through heuristics rather than the .gemini format itself, based on the desire to keep basic clients very simple (~100 loc). But that’s a really good point!
I wish there was an audio version of this.

This article would be more substantive with a lot more examples of the mechanism of the coordinated fraud.
Counterfeit shares? Really?

These are not really counterfeit shares, because they do not pay dividends or have any voting ability, the companies do not recognize them. More like "synthetic assets" that have the price pegged to the asset they mimic.

Just to clarify, many portfolios are created in a way that lending allowed is ON by default, as such people may not be explicitly by the actual owner, but something that the given trading platform does using your underlying assets.

This is similar to how the bank may lend out your current balance and not actually hold ALL of the money that its customers has in their accounts.
Yes but if soemone else interfere sms they can effectively reset the account
Heuristics might work for longer text where the sample is large enough to uniquely identify the language, but for single words there is not enough information. If I write "coin" in my text, for example, am I using an English word, French word, or Irish word? The pronunciation varies drastically, and screenreaders have to know what to say.
> It shouldn't be easier to generate better returns if you are better informed? How should people generate superior returns then?

By using your connections with the media to lie and misinform people. You don't have to be smart if you can make everyone else dumb.
Neither Safari nor Mozilla will implement this due to security concerns that Chrome ignores.

None of the new APIs (except web sharing) advertised in the original post will be implemented, as a matter of fact. For the same reasons.

Their positions are open and are helpfully tracked by Chrome. See a rundown here [1]. I wish more people paid more attention to Google's shenanigans.

"And so that’s what you do. You just look around. And sometimes you feel tired, or you feel dizzy, or you feel preoccupied by other things, and you cannot do this. But you’re not always tired and you’re not always preoccupied. In those moments, you can find lots of wonderful things."

I really like this man's approach to life ... all the amazing discoveries waiting around us.

There are lots of things to discover, leading to the same glee we had in childhood. With or without 'use' doesn't matter. One I remember best is rubbing a nylon comb to 'charge it up' up, and holding it next to a thin stream of water falling from a tap.

I once pulled my Dad into that -- made a Mobius strip and said 'it only has one side!' He said 'oh no'. I gave him a pencil and watched his face as he drew the line.

There needs to be a lot more evidence than some random screed on the web.

He barely gave a single example 'TASER' and frankly didn't really specifically indicate how that worked.

With 100 companies at any time under the squeeze it should be relatively easy for him to give a lot of examples and to specifically list the trades themselves, but also point at the 'media barrage' and highlight the asymmetrical effect those 'shadow shares' have.

It's a neat idea and maybe there's some truthiness to it, but there's no evidence.
If someone proposed pay toilets in my town vocal citizens who have never done a thing for the homeless except express “compassion” from afar would be up in arms because of how unfair that would be to the homeless; as if the presence of pay toilets would somehow be more unfair to the homeless who are already various levels of creative in dealing with the problem. So the status quo remains because we haven’t solved homelessness.

Shitty companies failing is a necessary and important mechanism of a functioning economy.

Look at the Soviet Union for an example of what happens when no companies ever go bankrupt.

Short activists expose shitty companies and as such, they play an important role in the economy.

Maybe Wirecard's fraud scheme would still be going on if it wasn't for short sellers.

Maybe shorting, in particular naked shorting, is not ideal. But there needs to be a way to reward people for taking shitty companies down.
> What happens if a market maker fails to deliver the promised stocks due to inability to purchase stocks?

Unless volume is zero, there is no “inability to purchase stocks.” Just inability at a desired price. If a market maker fails to deliver, they get hit with fines and fees from clearing infrastructure, exchanges and, eventually, the SEC.
I'm a long-time Emacs user, Scheme fan, functional programming advocate ... Who uses C# in his day job.

For quite a long time F# simply wasn't ready, and by the time it was C# had already become an industry behemoth.

But more critically, it's not a language that's officially supported by Unity. That's enough for it not to be a wise choice to be betting a project on it where there are dozens of jobs on the line, and families that could be impacted.

I can't help but think that this concern isn't simply isolated to Unity software development; where else has the decision been made to not use F# on account of it not enjoying as much industry support as C#?

I tried Gentoo and Artix, both being a very good experience. Some minor issues with laptop suspension and lightdm session handling in Artix tho. Flawless behavior with Gentoo, pity that an update broke my system a while ago.
Normally the other side should retry delivering several times, with varying degrees of time between the retries (up to days).
So a company could discourage shorting of its stock by arranging dividends to be spread over the year? Paying out to 1/365th of shareholders each day for example.
If an hour's downtime would make you 'seriously consider' switching, I doubt you will find any service that meets your requirements. You're asking for 99.96% uptime. I don't think any email provider will guarantee you that.

Lol, blackberry eventually launched BBM on iOS and Android, but it was too late by then. They really thought they could keep other phones from gaining market by locking in BBM to blackberry only.
Not that lost, there's a fix on the way. The developer was as usual being melodramatic for effect.
Really nice project, seems like some keys to open up the internet again would be:

- Decoupling of data (articles, videos, ...) from platforms.

- Decoupling authorship claims from platforms

- Decoupling online identities from platforms.

- Decoupling of user networks from platforms.

- Distributed archiving, some years ago if you had an article/manifesto or whatever on Napster or any other P2P system it was trivial to find it again anytime you wanted, now dead blogs, videos disappearing from Youtube, or broken links to Twitter are the norm. You have to archive stuff yourself or hope somebody did it.

- Related to decoupling user networks from platforms, it would be nice to decouple comment sections from platforms and from the articles themselves too. People could comment the same article in different curated comment sections with different moderation policies using their own decoupled online identity.

- Create decentralized networked chains of trust (could help revitalize some scientific communities too).

Seems like very interesting things going on with projects like gemini, Urbit, IPFS, still on the early stages and only usable by power-users, but hopefully they will keep growing.
> Someone loans out 10 shares to a short who then sells them to someone else. All of a sudden there are 110 shares out there.

No there isn't - there are 100 shares total at all times, and every time those 10 shares you mention change hands, the cap table is updated (or should be) to reflect this. First they are owned by the original owner. Then they are owned by the shorter (and a contract is in place to return the same amount of shares and any dividends to the original owner). Then they are owned by the person the shorter sells to. At no point are shares duplicated.

Well, Melvin Capital, the most prominent hedgefund in this event, has openly admitted to losing 53% of its capital and based on my opinion they probably haven't covered all of their shorts yet so bankruptcy is still on the table.

> In just thirty short years, we've gone from pension plans and savings rates that might actually leave you with more purchasing power than you started (when considering inflation) to...better gamble it all in the stonkz

Pensions and savings rates were always a gamble. These just provide an obfuscated the risk. Countless cities and companies are overburdened with pension obligations. Moreover, your retirement is always going to depend on the strength of the economy at the point time, so you might as well invest in broad indices.

The military is alleging that voter fraud took place. Obviously a pretext by Myanmar’s dictatorial military family, but it makes you wonder if Trump’s demagoguery and erosion of trust in the US voting system has emboldened authoritarians across the globe who can now scoff at the integrity of democratic norms, seeing that one of the greatest examples (supposedly) in the free world is not even capable of being such an example. The power of our example has global ramifications.
