What does "moral ground" mean? You mean, if I (a person that lives in the US) sees someone lose a human right, I should shut up, because some other guy who also lives in the US, who I've never met did something that I never approved of or endorsed?

Like we should all be ok with an individual being victimized because anyone who wants to say something is guilty of something else by association... I guess the victims should accept that no one should help them. How sad.

The truth is I think people who trot out this line should ask themselves who they're helping. The sides aren't the US vs China... the sides are those on the side of human rights and liberty and those that seek to deprive others of their rights. And when you stand up with your words to help those on the side of anti-human rights, you are the one on the wrong side... and no one on the human rights side gives a damn what you think is hypocritical because those actions were never from our side.
> But, this happens both ways good and bad so it's probably a wash.

Only if you ignore reality. Huge hedge funds are called market movers for a reason. These hedge funds decide to short your company's stock and they have a direct impact on your stock value regardless of whether the hedge fund has any basis for actually shorting. Their "reason" can be 100% bullshit. Doesn't matter. They put a large short position on your company and it has an immediate direct impact.

Not only that, like you said about disinformation, it also allows them to get other parts of the market to also jump on board.

The way shorting works with hedge funds is that it is a self fulfilling prophecy a huge majority of the time

And people talk about how capitalism has driven companies to only care about the next quarter. Everyone realizes this is overall a bad thing. Short sellers are one of the reasons you have to do that.

I don't believe shorts have any intrinsic value they are actually bringing to the market. People choosing not to buy stock at existing prices does the same thing people claim shorting does. You don't need to borrow stock and sell it back making a profit to have a functioning trading system.

Isn't selling something you don't own a fraud or the stock market has an exemption?
The instance when A essentially sells the share to B accepting the right to receive the share back as a payment also wouldn't fly in any other environment, as this could just open the door to money laundering. So why is this accepted in the stock market? Or simply the law enforcement doesn't know how to tackle it?

Are you sure the West has always been defending human rights in its interventions in other countries? We should separate the justification for meddling in another country's affairs with the root cause of the meddling.
You've had some good answers, but i will add that the internet led to a Cambrian explosion of cranks, because now anyone can put up a webpage. There is a catalogue, although i don't think it's maintained any more:

> Journalists described him as "psychologically unstable and unworldly in a dangerous manner"

> Rust stabbed a female co-worker who had rejected him. The victim barely survived. He was convicted for injuring her and sentenced to two and a half years in prison

> In 2005 [...] he was convicted of fraud and had to pay €1,500 for stolen goods.

> In 2009 Rust described himself as a professional poker player.

> Most recently, in 2012, he described himself as an analyst at a Zurich-based investment bank.

This confirms everything I ever imagined about investment banking.

You just dredged up memories of trying to run Thief: The Dark Project on Win2k and the installer failing, until I found an obscure forum post saying I should just run the installer with the "-lgntforce" flag. Dear god, the stability gained from running on a sane OS! On Win98 on the same hardware I was forced to save early and often or risk losing hours of patient sneaking and hiding when the OS inevitably borked out.

I've been here a couple of times (and often I find myself back in the grind without realising it).

1. Stop staying late. There will always be more work to do, another email to send, something else to debug or test. Leave it until the next day and go spend time with yourself, family and friends.

2. If you feel overloaded, list out your work tasks and prioritise. If you are any good at your job, you will have an infinite list of things to do. So a prioritised list is an absolute must-have.

3. Have quality downtime. This means reduced screen time, good exercise, spend time with family, friends etc., other hobbies etc.

Racket Performance Improvement over 17 years
have been running debian sid on all my dev machines since ~7 years and not once had an issue. sure sometimes you need to diff a config file during a dist-upgrade but nothing every broke. ymmv. all my WM/DE sway/i3 gui stuff is self-compiled and so I get to see issues, dependencies and problems at compile time on my machine which I report upstream. It forces me in some rare cases dig until I understand and solve the problem. On the upside I know my tools really well down to every log entry that should or should not be there. Solving things becomes muscle memory (works better with a minimalist approach similar to the suckless philosophy). There is also a performance benefit of getting to use better CFLAGS such as `-mtune=native -march=native` or other hardening not available with packages. Once a day there is a cronjob polling git status for changes of relevant packages so I won't run out of date critically unpatched code. (oh and the great thing is by doing this often you also can follow the patches/diffs and quickly understand what is happening)

being lazy I've never considered the NixOS packing. it's a steep learning curve and also "old dog, new tricks". I'm sure it's awesome to use professionally but unless I see a commercial reason to use and apply it on the job, I won't bother (not because of lazy but because of many other competing things I want to do).

kotlinx.serialization has a learning curve, but it is quite flexible and very fast. I've only used it on the JVM but obviously its cross-platform nature is a big plus as well.

It could use some simplified syntax (similar to how Kotson improved on Gson), perhaps a JPath parser. But for something that just went 1.0 very recently, it is terrific.
Person A has burger.
Person B borrows A’s burger and sells it to Person C.

Person D borrows Person C’s burger and sells it to Person E.

Still seems to work? Then, tomorrow Person B and Person D owe burgers to Person A and Person C.

If there is only one burger in existence, this will create demand pulling prices up I’d think.

You don't use Kafka just to move a large amount of data between systems. You can also make use of Kafka to decouple systems, make integration easier, and let distributed computing technology widely used by big companies like Facebook, Uber, Tinder, Via Varejo (Brazil), Banco Itau (Brazil), Banco Santander (Brazil), be used to act in what she is a specialist.

The big problem is that the learning curve of the entire ecosystem is high, many people do not have the minimum semantic requirements that a distributed computing strategy requires and do not even want to study and understand, and thus generate this discomfort, and some statements erroneous that it is a cannon to kill a fly.

Right now, I am using Apache Kafka as an integration strategy between systems to integrate large factories spread out geographically, there was a high curve for everyone involved (infrastructure, Developers, and Architects) to understand the ecosystem as a whole (Kafka Connect, Kafka Broker, Zookeeper, Streams strategy, MirrorMaker 2) we built the entire integration by moving files in just 45 days due to an emergency imposed by government regulations.

We have almost 35 thousand messages a day (far from being high volume) being transported between different locations, in a stable manner, and with the delivery time (milliseconds) necessary for the demand. And now when we need to integrate a new factory that was bought by the company, we can do this integration in a short time because the entire base (the core) of the integration has been consolidated.

Everything is a matter of strategy and the correct use of the solution.
I just left a team that was using F# as our language for all new code. We built shrinkwrap banking software and found it a much better alternative to C#. We were the market leaders in that space, most of the worlds big banks runs code we wrote in F#.

I think F# is an improvement to C# just like how C# was an improvement to VB.NET, which was an improvement to VB6.

However, it's not really a hill I'd die on, frankly new co-workers complaining about missing curly braces gets really old after the first day. Ultimately most programmers just don't care about using the best tools, and would still be happy using VB6 if the industry as a whole hadn't moved them along kicking and screaming into C#.

If I'm working alone, I'll choose the best tools for the job, and I tend to think F# in modern dotnet core is one of the best tools for backend servers out there. It's much more coherent then Scala, less mushy at large codebase size than Clojure, very performant, and has great libraries like aspnet core, and compiles so much faster than Haskell and has an incredible wealth of better libraries. I also prefer a more functional style than Kotlin, Go, Java, or C# provide, because for me that means fewer unit tests to get the same confidence.

There's plenty annoying with the language, but it's a great hybrid with reasonable tradeoffs.

My elevator pitch typically is: with F# I need to write fewer unit tests to get the same confidence I'd need elsewhere, and that means more time programming.

> Why do we even allow people to sell borrowed things?

Unlike cars, one share in a company is as good as another, and the whole reason you borrow a share is so that you can sell it. It's kind of like how if you borrow money, you're allowed to spend it instead of just keeping it in a pile under your bed.

> Sanctions won’t work. They will just punish businesses that were stupid enough to work with Americans and Europeans. At the end of the day, Myanmar is going to come out of this period looking more like China than like the British colony it was before — guess what that’s meant to prepare us for, in terms of the way the world looks by the end of this century?

Sanctions won’t work, but tanks would.

The entirety of Myanmar's army stock of modern armoured vehicles is less than 1000, with only 200 modern tanks in unknown state of readiness.

3-4 marine heavy brigades can easily stomp all tank battalions in Myanmar's disposal.

Just saying it to state that if US wants to do anything about that, it can do that effortlessly much like its Grenada, and Panama interventions.

Laos, and Vietnam will also be eager to trim ambitions of their bellicose neighbour.

The question is how Washington, and countries in the region are afraid the prospect of direct encounter with Chinese military which is rumoured to have a secret military treaty with Yangon.

I can't tell if he believes it or not. He convinced his base that mail-in ballots were a scam, then cried foul when all of the mail-in ballots came in for Biden. He launched innumerable lawsuits alleging fraud that were thrown out, then claimed the courts were against him. He tried to shake down Georgia's secretary of state to "find" enough votes to put him over Biden. His rhetoric absolutely encourages conspiracy theory but while he directly accuses the Democrats of stealing the election, he never directly calls for or condones violence, so his supporters call him a man of peace on one hand, and plan kidnappings and killings of government officials on the other.

It's impossible to tell with him. Maybe in our post-truth society where most people's reality is generated by abstractions and algorithms, it doesn't even matter.

Counterfied shares have already existed. And underreporting in that case cost less money as a fine than what they are losing if the price stays at that price right now.

Why do you think i go out all the time during the lockdown ? Because theres no control and the fine is only 135 euros. If it was 1000 euros and more controls id be respecting.
Am I the only one who finds it hypocritical that the Liberal government is ok with Murdoch owning pretty much the entire Australian free press; yet they are against monopolisation of search and basic http-based news distribution (ie simple web scraping). The reason people read news online is because Aussie news papers are generally such racist garbage and their web sites are either paywalled or stuffed with ads.

Sorry I don’t meant to come across as contrarian, but as a European and now Aussie citizen, the quality of reporting is really horrendous. This type of law doesn’t seem like anything designed to save the future of free, independent journalism, but simply the old boys club of the liberal party handing out free money to their mates in Newscorp.

Not that the alternative (surveillance capitalism is much better though, but at least it doesn’t impose contradictory logic onto the basic infrastructure of the Internet (text and http).

Time to read the SEC SHO FAQ [1] again:

> Question 7.1: Do naked short sale transactions create "counterfeit shares?"

> Answer: Some believe that naked short sale transactions cause the number of shares trading to exceed the number of shares outstanding, which in turn allows broker-dealers to trade shares that don't exist. Others believe that the U.S. clearance and settlement system, and specifically the NSCC’s CNS, produces "phantom" or "counterfeit" securities by accounting for fails to deliver.

> Naked short selling has no effect on an issuer's total shares outstanding. There is significant confusion relating to the fact that the aggregate number of positions reflected in customer accounts at broker-dealers may in fact be greater than the number of securities issued and outstanding. This is due in part to the fact that securities intermediaries, such as broker-dealers and banks, credit customer accounts prior to delivery of the securities. For most securities trading in the U.S. market, delivery subsequently occurs as expected. However, fails to deliver can occur for a variety of legitimate reasons, and flexibility is necessary in order to ensure an orderly market and to facilitate liquidity. Regulation SHO is intended to address the limited situations where fails are a potential problem.

> Similarly, CNS has no effect on an issuer's total shares outstanding. With regards to the contention that the U.S. clearance and settlement system, and specifically NSCC's CNS system, creates counterfeit shares, this is not the case. CNS is essentially an accounting system that indicates delivery and receive obligations among its members (i.e., broker-dealers and banks). These obligations do not reflect ownership positions until such time as delivery of shares are actually made. Ownership positions are reflected on the records of The Depository Trust Company ("DTC").

I've watched the second video and it still makes no sense to me.

"if you have an organism that sees reality as it is, competing with an organism that sees none of reality but is just tuned to what's called the fitness in the environment"

The fitness in the environment? As I understand it, fitness is a property of the individuals, not of the environment. It's defined ex post as the reproductive success of an individual. What does being "tuned to fitness" mean? I imagine (but can only guess) it means something like "being served a pre-digested version of reality that maximises some signal-to-noise ratio". But that means that someone else is doing the job of actually parsing the relevant information in the environment before feeding it to an organism.

The second issue I have is with the concept of "reality". Is there even such a thing? Real is what, in some sense, reflects useful properties of the environment- and it's still an approximation. Is the steak real? Or are its proteins real? Or the atoms of which it is composed? Or the chemical bounds between them? Or the quarks? Or where it came from? Or its colour? Or its relation with our digestive system?

In the video he makes the example of a file: is it "real" that the file is an icon sitting in the middle of the screen? Well, for some uses it is. For others it's sitting somewhere in the filesystem. For other uses, it's a series of non-contiguous blocks. For others still, it's magnetic fields on a disc surface. For others, it's an abstract entity that can be printed on a sheet of paper or sent via email or encrypted. All these things are real, yet none really captures the ground truth of the thing, which is possibly unknowable.
I somewhat follow, but it seems shares have privileges that cannot be synthesized in the same way that dividends and value can. For example, if the firm votes for a new CEO, these shares should have voting power, but B cannot fulfill this obligation to A, so how can these shares be resold to multiple buyers?
An app that does nothing passed review? I hope this doesn't happen often, and that the processes are reviewed. May be reviewers have too much work to do and just click OK sometimes to move on?

Also, I understand that the App store has a million apps, and they can't be super thorough with all of them.

What I don't understand is how an app that is actually getting a lot of downloads and reviews, and that charges a huge ammount of money, and that is promoted very up in search, doesn't make it to the top of the "let's really review this" priority list.
I just checked and you are right (1835 vs 1827). Funnily, there is this:

"but unlike common shares, they do not confer voting rights to shareholders. As a result, these shares tend to trade at a discount to Class-A shares. "

the article does not argue against short selling. it argues that there are loopholes being used to facilitate naked shorting and that the lack of transparency with naked shorts is problematic.
