> When only 1 company can make the displays

It sounds true but it is inaccurate. E-Ink doesn't even make the displays. They just make the material used in the displays. The actual displays are made by sandwiching the material on TFT and other parts. The displays are made by a whole bunch of different Taiwanese vendors like AU Optronics, and others and then there's a large ecosystem over laminating them with touchscreens, different types of protective hydrobarriers and other things. The reason the panels cost more than LCDs is because the volume is not high. Go ahead, make an order for 10 million panels and specify the price like apple does, and you'll find all these manufacturers jumping to increase their production scale in order to meet your target price.

> Once the patent expires I expect these to be used everywhere.

Again, this keeps getting repeated everywhere but it is totally wrong. There's a simple question you can ask. Which patent needs to expire? The lazy answer you'll get is all 700 patents. But in reality it is not a patent that is blocking things. It is simple. Money. Would you invest hundreds of millions needed in trying to scale, improve or invent a new display technology? Or would you invest in a hot new AI/ML startup? There's your answer. For further proof, google all the dead display startup companies, to show what's really blocking the world from having a great new display technology.

Someone on /r/latestagecapitalism pointed out if you seized everyone's excess billions above $1B, you could end world hunger for 216 years, end climate change by 2030, etc etc.

Around 7.5 billion people on earth would probably agree to those benefits.
Other than that, Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
Good point about keeping the game alive. I can't blame RH for making whatever call is in its best interest to survive. Whatever the outcome is here I hope it's transparent.
No, Citadel is RH's largest customer.

Citadel also bailed out Melvin to the tune of $2.75bn.

> And if the pin implementation is this hackneyed, I have a feeling that the so-called encryption is anything but.

Totally. I'd be super curious to know is anyone's just tried plugging the hard drive into another controller. Won't surprise me at all if the "security" here is just not starting the USD drive controller without the correct pin being entered. There isn't any evidence here for enough hardware to turn that pin into an encryption key and encrypt/decrypt data on the fly. (I guess it's possible that's all built into the USB controller?)

In other words, the situation is "too complicated," and the only solution is that the not-rich person should not do what they're doing with GME right now.

Got it.
It is unclear how the "alternative outcome" of January 6th might have gone. I'm a little skeptical that there was a carefully thought out and plausible "alternative outcome", but the sort of thing that some people have suggested was that the trump supporters would have taken control of the certification process in some important way (with or without actual violence towards various existing government members). This would have then led to Trump declaring some kind of emergency, the certification process would have "finished" with a different outcome, and a new winner of the election would have been declared.

As I said, I am not sure I buy that anyone with half a brain thought that a plan could work, but there seems to be some supporting evidence that something like this had been imagined by at the very least some of the people at the protest. How far into the Trump administration that might have gone, I don't know (or if went into it at all).

Had something like that happened, it would definitely have been a decisive, sudden show of force in politics.
Thanks, I think that perfectly answers: "it calls into question how they manage their deposit." this part :)
Your site does not seem to preserve scroll state correctly after clicking back on iPhone. Go to the homepage, scroll down to repos, tap on a repo, tap back, find yourself at the top of the homepage.

Which illustrates a general problem with these kind of libraries - you need to put in a lot of effort to make them work as well as normal old old web applications. Is the performance improvement actually there, and is it worth the extra bugs and effort?

Not to pick on you either. E.g. GitHub had broken back button behavior with their turbolinks for the longest time.
No, it's not going to pop no matter what, that's not how the market works - and presumably most everybody cares how it happens. Most people aren't big on artificial market manipulation.

What triggered Alphabet to suddenly get involved? I'm assuming that these reviews didn't appear recently, suddenly or something.

Discord shuts down WallStreetBets and reddit throttle them.. both for hate speech. Suddenly, simultaneously and coincidentally during their maneuver.

The CEO of the NASDAQ rushes to a camera calling for SEC scrutiny and tightening regulation, wearing a look of disbelief on her own face. Financial press have a meltdown in the opposite direction of regular reporters. No laws seem to have been broken.

Now google happen to be doing something with the RH app? WTF! This whole thing is saucier than soup.
They're not targeting fake reviews on Steam. They're targeting "off-topic reviews". ie. review bombing for topics outside of usual gameplay.

That might be inclusion of a pervasive anti-cheat, a poor comment made by a developer, or most recently a movie tie-in that included an offensive line.

These reviews are not removed but they stop contributing to the overall review score.
Nextdoor Is Quietly Replacing the Small-Town Paper
This is amazing - just ignore Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Andrew Carnegie and several other of the richest people of all time who came from humble beginnings, just because they don’t fit your narrative.

For the past 15 years I have worked with wealthy people for a living, hundreds of them. Two things stand out:
1. Most of them came from humble beginnings, typically as immigrants
2. Most of them stress their kids won’t be as successful because of having it too easy

It’s alarming to me how much ignorance there is about real life outside of tech on hackernews, and how insidious academic leftist propaganda is.
I mean, I just drove from Indiana to a Florida with roughly 2h chargetime, which roughly corresponded with time to use the restroom and snag lunches.

Outside of trips, have charged 100% at home without needing to go to gas stations (saved a few hours this year, so the trip above is more or less a wash)

For most of the US at least, this is already a solved problem. (However it is not solved for GM, they need to catch up to Tesla)
Google is censoring reviews as we speak. If you refresh the page you can see the review count climb up, and then fall down.

A lot of people swear by ggplot and other grammar of graphics tools, so I have an open question. Let's take an example from the page:

ggplot(data=mpg) +\
geom_point(mapping=aes(x="displ", y="hwy", alpha="manufacturer"))

How much easier is that from

g = ggplot(data=mpg)
g.geom_point(mapping=aes(x="displ", y="hwy", alpha="manufacturer"))

Or, for instance:

ggplot(mpg, aes("displ", "hwy")) +\
geom_point(aes(color="class")) +\
geom_smooth(se=False) +\
labs(title="Fuel efficiency generally decreases with engine size")

VS:

g = ggplot(mpg, aes("displ", "hwy"))
g.geom_point(aes(color="class"))
g.geom_smooth(se=False)
g.title = "Fuel efficiency generally decreases with engine size"

Governments are notorious for contracting websites to the lowest bidder that claims they can check all the requirements boxes. Websites run through the same procurement process as buying toilet paper for the offices.

And the result is websites that do technically check all the boxes in the document thought up by someone charged with "getting a website built for this", but rarely anything that would be considered a good experience.

The federal government has gotten a lot better at this since the founding of 18f, but state and local still has the problem of checklistware
B/c fraud exists and people expect their money back when it happens. Yes it is 2021, not 1929. Credit and loans are a feature not a bug. If you want to put your life savings into a digital wallet go ahead. There's no protection when someone swipes it.

This is why I hate Carlin's stuff, it's so fitting for the internet tech sites because the main point of it is jeering and sneering at people who aren't you, who aren't woke.

I don’t mean to sound condescending but your inclusion of the breadbasket of any big company that has acted poorly in a discussion about what brokers legal duties are show why this subject is so fraught. You are extrapolating from any and all corporate scandals behaviors about a particular regulatory regime.

Broker oversight is complex and constantly changing but it’s not immaterial. It’s regularly enforced and compliance is a big part of broker ops.

High short interests make a lot of sense right now, you have a shitty company with a market cap above 50% of the S and P 500 trading at multiples higher than IP rich tech companies like Apple. The stock is overvalued many times over regardless of whether you use sentiment or NPV’s. The more overpriced a stock becomes the more bears will join the marketplace, that’s inevitable. Most hedge funds take losses once the price goes about 30% over their position, most early bears definitely went above this but there is little chance they are still holding. That means that these new shorts are likely to have set prices in the $250 plus range, where the potential returns are astronomical and the little guys trying to stick it to the man are likely to foot the vast majority of the Bill whilst making the man and a small number of early buyers a shit load of money
Coinbase customers aren't just the consumers, but the investors that expected a market entry for return. They are adding more of those customers as well.

Cryptocurrency is more an alternative to banking, Coinbase is like a bank but more like a wallet collection and connector from currency to other digital currency. Some see it as securities/speculation as well including the IRS.

Part of the reason they are going into the market is big money returns but another is normalizing digital currency as part of the overall market, it also helps with marketing to new users that would never trust it previously, new channels. No doubt it will affect some of what happens as regulations come down, they are inevitable as money/market caps grow in anything.

I think the general attitude was not that these people are conspiracy theorists and making these things up but that there response would be something like "Why does it matter, how does it affect me?" and the answer would have been some theoretical bad thing that the average person can't imagine happening to themselves. Now its happening which makes it real for people.
What you actually see in America is that most millionaires come from humble beginnings. That doesn’t mean most people from humble beginnings become millionaires. A->B does not equal B->A. Basic logic.

Ask HN: Robinhood app hidden from search in Play Store?
If I go directly to the Robinhood app page in Play Store via this link -

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.robinhood.android&showAllReviews=true&showAllReviews=true&1

- I see the app and its reviews.

If I then copy and paste the title of the app page "Robinhood - Investment & Trading, Commission-free" directly into the store search box above, it performs the search for me:

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=Robinhood%20-%20Investment%20%26%20Trading%2C%20Commission-free&c=apps

But the Robinhood app is not returned in the results, even though many other trading apps are.

Modifying the search by typing in just "Robinhood" and then clicking on suggestions given automatically in the dropdown also fails to return the app, but again returns other trading apps. See:

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=robinhood%20trading&c=apps

https://play.google.com/store/search?q=robinhood%20trading%20app&c=apps

Can anyone reproduce/confirm this?

It's not, they don't give any reasons in that blog post.

RH was the number one downloaded app just a couple of days ago. They must’ve gotten at least a couple of hundred thousand new accounts. Even at $1,000 average deposit, you’re looking at hundreds of millions to cover for a day or two. That said, I highly doubt they’re in trouble. JPMorgan/Fed likely have RH covered.
This is not how most stores calculate the rating. Not Apple's, not Amazon's, and not Google's. They all have various "leans" on the score, that factor in other things besides just total_score divided by num_reviews.
If anyone can teach this simple concept to young developers the older developers will be truly out of work.

This sounds like it might be more accurate than the devices the doctors use now. When my blood pressure is measured it drops so fast the standard device starts beeping and fails to get a fix. Last few times the doctor had to use the hand pump to get a good measurement.

It's probably not super common and obviously psychosomatic, I doubt my blood pressure would drop if I were unconscious, but I imagine if I can make my blood pressure go down that fast, other people might do it less extreme and fool the device.

Anyway I'd be happy to use a less invasive device for sure.
I would believe Justin got that tip but that does not mean it was true.

Agreed, I would need it to change about once per day. I don't use notes to remind myself of things constantly throughout the day, but to remind myself to do something after my current tasks are done.
Market markers and other institutional participants don’t want instant settlement, as it its a liquidity risk. It’s why you’ll see T+2 go to end of day settlement eventually (imho), but will never see real time settlement from centralized finance. Decentralized finance would improve upon this, with the trade off of having a low volume ceiling (due to network transaction limitations).

Perhaps, if it wasn't a fork of Bitcoin. If was originally called Cash Coin and rebranded to Bitcoin Cash, then it would seem likely that group is trying to capitalize on the name. That's not the case here. This name came naturally, just like similar names occur in other forked software.[0]

Bitcoin Cash came from a minority group (big blocks) in the Bitcoin community.[1]

My company has been scraping the apple app store and google play store using private reverse engineered api. We provide a wide range of services around those data which include reviews and ratings historical analysis and so on.

I can confirm that the displayed rating on both stores is exactly the weighted average of valid reviews and ratings posted by users. No trickery there.

The only caveat here is that both platform regularly invalidate posted reviews and ratings for various reasons (the user asked for it to be removed, apple/google has reasons to believe it was fraudulent/automated, ...). If a review/rating is removed, it won't be shown and won't be taken into account in the calculation.

So the calculation is really along the lines of :

> SELECT app, AVG(stars) AS display_stars FROM customer_reviews WHERE deleted=false GROUP BY app;
In this case you have a lot of people burned at the same time from the app failing to do the one thing they expected it to.

Solarwinds hack explained in detail by a software engineer
Why it took 9months to detect SolarWinds Hack even though it is used by 425 Fortune 500 companies.
First of all, it does reduce risk because it avoids further downside. Just because a stock can come back up doesn't mean it didn't lose real value even before realizing the loss.

Second, this is not about the individual's risk of losing money. This is about Robinhood losing money because they lent him money.

And about why they didn't give him a chance to provide further collateral is simply because there wasn't enough time. I watched the stock drop from over $400 to $125 in just over an hour. Not sure what you could expect Robinhood to do in that situation.
Coinbase isn’t the only game in town fortunately. Arbitrage and the decentralized nature of crypto makes it impossible to stop. RobinHood just removing the buy button hopefully opened some eyes today to how rigged the traditional system is. It is free market when it benefits the powers that be. When it goes awry, they are always bailed out.
