On the other hand, many people who reason from first principles fall into two fallacies:

First, they believe that their system is how the world should work, and therefore how it would work if only someone, somewhere, weren't interfering. The result is conspiracy theories.

Second, they have not fully thought out the consequences, or don't care about them, and dismiss the historical consequences of similar systems in the past. Reasoning with people who ignore evidence in favor of their theorizing is difficult.

The market is incredibly complex. If you thought that executives can foresee the downstream effects of a given market event because they are "all-knowing, all-wise", then of course you are an idiot.

But nobody you were arguing with even remotely thinks this. Of course, there is uncertainty. There was never going to be a "very orderly" draw-down, but the issues from the moral hazard of propping up Lehman were (and remain) a big consideration when considering bailouts.

>If you buy from elsewhere, they often refuse to even troubleshoot your device. So that argument doesn't really hold much weight.

Even so, laptop manufacturers have brand reputations to protect and don't want customers blaming them for issues that are outside of their control. It's not just a question of who's legally responsible or whether they're obliged to provide support.

There's also the electrical engineering perspective on this. In a low power device, sending high frequency signals over contact-based electrical connections is something you want to avoid if at all possible.

>While both will have to compromise, removing options from the consumer and allowing the company to dictate terms outright really harms our consumer rights.

I think AAA games gain complexity from grafting many technologies together. Yes a 3D engine and GPU stuff adds complexity that factorio sidesteps. And also, to many folks here they see the complexity of factorio because they are exposed to it, while AAA games hide the game mechanics from the user.

And don't forget the (non-technical) complexity of developing out in the open with their blog and alpha testers.

Maybe if Robinhood had done literally anything to not appear like they were colluding with their customer Citadel people wouldn't have constructed "false narratives". Its some impressive mental gymnastics to see a broker lock out all of their retail investors (remember, you were completely free to liquidate your position) and offer almost no explanation, and blame the investors for being hasty and jumping to conclusions.

And for that matter, calling these narratives false seems premature. As far as I know there hasn't been any actual investigation by regulators into the reason Robinhood took those steps (although multiple politicians from across the spectrum have called for one). It seems many public figures would love to give Robinhood the opportunity to explain themselves
For which vaxes? How do you know this?
This is not a Robinhood thing; every single brokerage does this. Robinhood is a bit unique with their instant bank deposits feature, that's something traditional banks don't generally do, but its really just a minor extension of this same idea.

Robinhood is accessible, so it has serviced the bulk of the retail investor spike that happened this week. Additionally, I expect that their net liquidity is far, far lower than a traditional bank, just given their age and diversification of business. They needed money, so they went to JP Morgan. Plenty of people also trade with JP Morgan, but (and I can't believe I'm saying this) JP Morgan actually, to some degree, knows what the fuck its doing. Robinhood doesn't; Robinhood is basically a teenager who just got a new car, wanted to show off to some friends, crashed it, and is now crying on the phone to daddy.

Which, to be fair, is exactly the same thing every bank had to do in 2007, except daddy was the US Government.

People can seek capital from whomever they want. But it’s also true that outside capital is useful. If my community has lots of resources and no ideas about how to use them, then the world is better off if I take my resources and find an under-resourced entrepreneur in a less wealthy part of the world to invest in. That’s what capital represents.

It's not a peer reviewed study, and it includes only the people whose situations were severe enough to be sent to a radiologist. But it's enough to conclude that it's more than just a dismissably small number of cases.
Yeah, I'd personally hedge for 50-70% shots based off tested techniques that inoculates against severe cases. I'll also bias towards options with less onerous cold chain requirements. No part of covid response has been trouble free so far, vaccines rollout will be no different. Have had several front line / medical friends advice to bias away from Pfizer due to behind the scene incompetence. Currently Pfizer is limited to hospital settings in my country due to excess requirements, and guess what, hospital staff has been running ragged for over a year.
You have many misunderstandings and I am happy to clear them.

3. Trading with a margin accounts and trading on margin is different. I can have a margin account and borrow $0 on margin to trade.

Disagree, some investigations are warranted as to how this was allowed to happen. (I'm assuming investors in hedge fund arent happy either at 3 billion loss that we know of) As well as general practices and the dirty tactics employed recently

When I started at my current employer we were running our retail management software on DOS terminals connected to a SCO Unix box. My experience with the system was that it wasn't intuitive or easy to learn, but was pretty bulletproof for the veteran users who had been working with it for ~30 years. I learned as much of it as I needed to know, and got to the point where I could do some tasks without even thinking about which keys I was pressing.

I helped set up the replacement system and received a lot of complaints from those same users - some resistance to change, but also some legitimate failings of the new software. Tradeoffs in the network structure made it run more slowly at satellite locations, Windows 10 on all of the terminals caused network issues until we got updates and bandwidth moderation dialed in, and some employees needed additional practice using a mouse.

I see trade-offs between the old and the new here. The new software is easier to train new users (less arcane) and able to securely handle things like chip credit cards (which had previously needed a separate card terminal system) and charge accounts. At the same time, the old system was faster (for the limited features it provided) and was able to run more smoothly on older equipment (very little OS overhead, text only network transmissions).
The ASUS one doesn't have its own RAID controller nor PCIe switch onboard. It relies on the motherboard-provided PCIe bifurcation and if using hardware RAID, it'd use AMD's built-in RAID solution (but I'll use software RAID via Linux dm/md). The HighPoint SSD7500 seems to have a proprietary RAID controller built in to it and some management/monitoring features too (it's the "somewhat enterprisey" version)
Some think the Adenovirus-vetor vaccines have more risk of certain side-effects, especially if (by chance or a prior vaccination) the person was previously infected by a related Adenovirus.

By contrast, the mRNA vaccines do the same thing in the end - get your cells to appear infected & emit the target spike proteins – in the narrowest possible way, via a subset of the changes an Adenovirus infection causes.
Farming rhinos sounds great but this is one of those ideas with a maybe an unobtanium answer. I'd like to see a "farm" strong enough to contain a single rhino let alone an entire herd, and one that is profitable. The answer is to go after poaching at all angles possible; supply, demand, funding, trade, advertising, etc. Also illegal is elephant poaching, and we're not about to start farming elephants.
I love the idea of rechargeable batteries. I started buying Eneloops, and they work alright.

Now I own 16 more electronic devices (8 AA, 8AAA), and I have to keep track of what device they're in, their charge state, and their long-term health. I don't have a great way of tracking ANY of those things.

Part of my motivation was to use them in camera flash units, where a small change in the battery life can result in the flash cycle time changing from ~1s to ~10s, without any warning - while I'm trying to take a photo of something quickly - so this sucks. This is a minor pain, because I can swap out for some fresh alkalines, but in that case, why even bother with the rechargeables?

They're still nice in most other devices.

At work, I'm using PyO3 for a project that churns through a lot of data (step 1) and does some pattern mining (step 2). This is the second generation of the project and is on-demand compared with the large, batch project in Spark that it is replacing. The Rust+Python project has really good performance, and using Rust for the core logic is such a joy compared with Scala or Python that a lot of other pieces are written in.

Learning PyO3, I cobbled together a sample project[0] to demonstrate how some functionality works. It's a little outdated (uses PyO3 0.11.0 compared with the current 0.13.1) and doesn't show everything, but I think it's reasonably clear.

One thing I noticed is that passing very large data from Rust and into Python's memory space is a bit of a challenge. I haven't quite grokked who owns what when and how memory gets correctly dropped, but I think the issues I've had are with the amount of RAM used at any moment and not with any memory leaks.

> Lots of other brokers also did the same.

And a lot didn't.

Some (e.g. TD A) imposed increased margin requirements, but that's perfectly normal for high volatility stocks or options in margin accounts, and to be honest I'm amazed it didn't happen sooner.

This comes down to those brokers that are their own clearing house versus those brokers that rely on a company like Apex.

It looks like Robinhood, Webull, IBKR, and others, all ran into the same capital requirements issues as their customers loaded up on a high value, high volatility stock. Their clearing houses basically told them they had to pony up more cash, or they had to stop allowing customers to increase their positions.

So this was "coordinated" insofar as they all used a clearing house (I believe RH and Webull both use Apex, but don't quote me on that) that made what amounts to a margin call on the brokerage.

To be clear, this should not have happened. It's entirely a function of the companies being under-capitalized as a result of inadequate risk management practices in this very strange market environment.
Thank you for the clarification.

I've never considered that a lie, because I've never encountered a bank the claims to be holding all the money. They merely claim that I will be able to withdraw my money, and that's on average true.

I consider that claim to be in the same category as the grocery store claiming I'll be able to buy toilet paper today. Sure, unless there's a pandemic. But usually? No pandemic.

Maybe more tangential, but isn't that the app itself asking, like a gatekeeper? I think if Apple generates that message or its triggered, then it's one-shot - if the user says "No", it will never be seen again (to be clear, to me and most, this is desired behavior).

So instead you have the app asking things like this, or "can we send you notifications?", and so if you say no, it can ask later, and not trigger the OS interaction until just-in-time.

I'm suprised that even the CPU cores are implemented just as a sea of standard cells. It is common to have them be macros containing a clearly separate datapath and control logic.

On the other hand, the fact that the prototyping was done on an FPGA makes this less surprising. Sea of cells is certainly easier to update, and less work than any form of manual datapath when migrating from FPGA to ASIC.
