This fails spectacularly when the point of disagreement is one’s humanity, for example. I’m a lot less active here than I would be otherwise, and I know that’s the case for a lot of others who belong to groups that HN considers fair game. I largely consider it a hostile place to me and people like me, and because of this moderation attitude, it’s first mover dominance in certain areas is actively harmful. And no, I’m not going to expose myself by revealing by what aspects of my identity are regularly dehumanized on HN.

Social cooling is just as much a phenomena on HN. By its very nature, it’s invisible unless it affects you directly. HN loses plenty of voices it’s never aware of.

Not exactly, but yes. A single share can theoretically unwind all of these short positions. If we have

A lends to B who sells to C who lends to D who sells to E who lends to F who sells to G.

The reverse of the process will unwind it:

G sells to F who returns to E who sells to D who returns to C who sells to B who returns to A
That is why I said it was triggered by, not caused by.
I would say it's fair game if it matters to the story. If DeepFuckingValue was a hedge fund employee using the internet to pump his positions, or something like that, then it would be relevant. If journalists stuck to reporting the relevant facts then maybe they wouldn't get so much hate.
His total value was almost $50 million the other day. He posts end of day values every day. I believe initially it was $55k.

$500 of gas shipped overseas in a $1200 Yamaha that gets 70mpg would be a far better investment and far more reliable.
My experience with junior (and sometimes not junior) developers has been that the lack of understanding leads to confusion about what they're trying to test. I think the ambiguity leads to a tendency toward mocks, which leads to tests that are focused on collaboration and implementation rather than output. Sometimes that makes perfect sense, but I've also seen where it encouraged more tests that are too implementation reliant.

Nothing wrong with mocks of course, sometimes they are absolutely required. I just favor isolation using stubs, and using mocks sparingly and only when absolutely needed.

> ...in reality every mock needs to act as a stub
I disagree. In fact a collaborator method call that doesn't return a value is a great candidate for mocking. Conversely, a collaborator that does return a value can usually be stubbed.

> ...when you stub you can also go ahead and add code to verify some behaviors (mock) to get some extra coverage
Entirely dependent on context of course, but to generalize, this feels risky. In many cases adding extra coverage via mocks might be making tests more brittle, for little to no value gain. Further if every method you mock is returning a preset value, there's no reason to verify expectations on it, because it's a stub that will allow verifying expectations on the output of the object/function under test.

As far as library naming, it's just a pet peeve stemming from "mock" somehow becoming synonymous with "test double". If people use a "mocking" library for stubs... well... that's good! :)
Shareholders and worker are always in direct conflict. Shareholders are always prioritized first. If your company takes money from investors, their wishes are always going to take precedent over everything else. And they want money. (Not that being self-funded is immune to wage theft. What we really need is more employee-owned cooperatives.)

Triodos is fine, has an unusual sustainability ethos. They also have business accounts, though will only accept business with similar values.

For our personal and business banking in UK and NL, we chose:

* UK personal banking - Nationwide for primary current account, Tridos UK as secondary. Left HSBC because service was terrible and they kept on declining our card txns.

* UK business banking - Tried Tide but moved to Starling on discovering Tide didn't support joint account holders. With Starling also have a EUR account. It works seamlessly with the only disadvantage that transfers from the Starling EUR account to NL banks are overnight.

* NL personal banking - Triodos NL, after years with ABN Amro. Triodos is friendly, sustainability focus.

* NL business banking - Knab, which has been good so far. Wanted to use Triodos NL but there is a two month backlog approving new business customers.

Robinhood says that they basically couldn't fulfil the buy orders because they ran out of money, or couldn't fulfil the orders without breaking the rest of the platform. I imagine whatever the reason there's going to be lawsuits.
Yea, unfortunately they isn't really the case right now as cash is still king and crypto is another gamble. Not to mention, who do you think could buy better hardware? Us or them?

There isn't really such thing as decentralized. Its just the authority gets shifted around but the same issues can still show up.
Both imply that the military has scientific knowledge that the bulk of public research does not. (about events that are not directly caused by them)

Did you read the article? Hell, just the headline. The author used the term first, on themselves. Get over it, you're not mad at the term. You're mad that the system you religiously worshipped doesn't actually care about you. Now, you're equal with those you were taught to hate.
> As far as I can tell, HN mods focus more on how you say something rather than what you say. If you're civil, respectful, and on-topic you're seemingly allowed to present just about any idea.

Absolutely, and it’s an excellent principle! Notably, however, HN does restrict what types of stories can be submitted, which has much the same effect of limiting what "ideas can be presented" (particularly when combined with an expectation to stay on topic).

To me, the difference is that HN isn’t trying to be a one-stop destination for all of your communication, whereas Facebook absolutely is.

Which is to say, I agree that complete free speech on any individual website is impossible without it devolving into a hellscape, so the best way to support free speech on a societal level is to have a diversity of social networks, instead of a handful of major platforms.

And we're failing at the diversity part.
In the UK, cash paid at the institution in question clears the same day. If bundled with a cheque (rather than as two separate transactions) it will clear at the same time as the cheque.

I had something similar happen to me many years ago. I took ATM cash from another account, plus what I had in my house and wallet, to make up the amount that an auto-paid credit card bill due on that same day would have sent me overdrawn.

I avoided the overdraft penalties.
`error` in Pony is for partial functions.

A partial function is where you can't compute a result based on the input.

If you need to know what went wrong (because more than one thing might have gone wrong and that needs to be communicated), you can use a union type for the result and match accordingly (as you would in Rust as an example).
> But it is also struck at left wing organizations, seeming to accept Trump’s post-Charlottesville “both sides” moral equivalency with little thought.

This take needs to die in a fire.

If you're able to actually listen to what he said without "trump-hate" goggles on, his point was that emotions were running high on both sides, but there were good, well-meaning people on both sides. He even acknowledged that perhaps the statues should come down and that he didn't know what the right answer was.

That's an entirely reasonable thing to say or believe.

As a centrist, watching the left do crap like this is as bad as it was watching the right in the 90's going after gays in the military.

In the words of a single man, can't we all just get along?
This feels to me like Apple creating a convenient Orwellian enemy. They're not even competitors, because Apple doesn't have a social network, Facebook doesn't sell computers, and indeed Facebook is currently among the grossing apps in the iOS App Store, 30% of which Apple gets.

If Facebook was as terrible as Apple makes them out to be, why would Apple allow Facebook in their App Store and take 30% of the generated revenue? It's hypocritical for Apple to criticize Facebook. If anything, the App Store made Facebook more popular than ever, so it's a "monster" that Apple helped create.

EDIT: My perspective is that the App Store and iOS lockdown have been harmful to user privacy, and Facebook is merely a convenient enemy to distract from the harmfulness of Apple's own current business model. On the Mac, I can install Little Snitch and prevent software from phoning home to both facebook.com and apple.com. I can't do any of this on iPhone. (And indeed, Little Snitch is not even compatible with the restrictive Mac App Store rules, so it has to be distributed outside the MAS.) The iPhone platform is designed such that software like Facebook thrives, and software like Little Snitch cannot exist.
I think Apple will win this war and FB will lose.

Nobody cares that small businesses benefit from targeted FB ads except FB and small businesses, customers certainly don’t, users don’t.

The small group of users that would care about that is the same group that hates Facebook and Amazon already and won’t be persuaded by FB on this or really even listen.

Apple’s argument is clearer and more directly benefits their users.

FB and small businesses don’t have the political power to force a win here and their argument isn’t as persuasive as Apple’s.

It doesn’t look great for them.

I think they’re probably correct about the long tail ads and the benefit to small businesses, but I also don’t care. I’d rather the targeted ad model fail.

Ben Thompson argues that if Apple wins this then only FB, Google and other ad monopoly mega corps will be competitive in the ad space because they’re the only ones that can collect information on users in other ways even with Apple’s move to stop tracking.

That may be true in the short term.

If legislation trends in the CCPA, GDPR direction and users prefer the moves Apple is making then the ad model may start to falter for them too.

The sooner, the better.

I agree. But if FB is going to do something stupid I would like to see them engage in their stupidity without playing favorites.
Added complexity isnt always bad. It's just that abstraction is indeed a very, very hard thing to be done. Powerful features will be complex.

Take browser as example, it's a form of abstraction (imo, it's an abstraction done right). It abstract the http communication in form of html and represent as gui. Browsers are indeed, very, very complex.

autoconf-archive still has tons of improvements. You can still fix or add ax probes as you want or need.

autoconf itself is stable enough, no need to change anything. If they are problems, they are elsewhere, as eg. in makeinfo. Or there is no proper way to create/maintain man files from gnu docs. Pod, markdown or manually seem to be the preferred ways, doxygen or pandoc rather not.

gnulib is a huge icebreaker driving through the pack ice in a very fast tempo. But still not good enough to provide unicode support for coreutils and friends (sed, grep, find). Let's see.

4. Sees the word "manipulation"

5. Substitutes the laymen's definition of "manipulation"

6. Builds a fantasy World of Wall Street from first principles around that definition

7. Argues their fantasy first-principles Wall Street against other participants' fantasy first-principles Wall Street

8. Everyone leaves sync'd on the fantasy of feeling smarter than when they arrived.
Stock buy back is perfectly fine and its authorization is usually announced in a press release. Hiding that you are taking new debt to do just about anything would be illegal.

Well.. I think the difference is that if there are literally millions of people immediately acting in a certain fashion (suddenly buying up a specific stock) in a coordinate fashion- that has a very different effect than a small number of large investors taking a bet.

I'm not defending the bullshit that is CNBC and 'professional stock pickers' and crap, but it ends up to be a very different thing. Not saying better or worse, but certainly different.
That’s a contrived example though. Say you put 200 shares at $50. If the clearing price is $50, you’ve won 300 shares at $50 - $15,000 total. What if you only have $10,000?
I’m saying it’s difficult to a) allow bidders to enter a demand curve b) respect their budget limitations c) keep it easily understandable for bidders.
Yes, perhaps.

Also, perhaps expert knowledge of common tendencies can help to avoid local maxima.
American police don’t feel institutionally above the law, for all intents and purposes they are. Qualified immunity, a doctrine made up out of whole cloth by the courts, means that cops often can’t be prosecuted or even sued for the most egregious of conduct. And the lengths the courts will go to protect cops are ridiculous, to the point where the courts have upheld the idea that a cop didn’t know that attacking a surrendering suspect in a “grassy ditch” was illegal, even though doing the same thing in a wooded area had precedent. And of course, since the cop was let off the hook, no new precedent was made.

And even when cops do finally cross the line, they just move towns or states and get a new job. Police unions have fought long and hard to avoid even the slightest forms of accountability; in most states being fired for cause isn’t enough to get your license pulled. This protection for bad cops comes at the cost of us all, both in terms of settlements paid by our money, and by unnecessary deaths inflicted on the poor and vulnerable by the state.
well, the case reached a settlement so i would not say it was litigated in the sense of establishing case law or legal precedent.

it's interesting- it reads as though harbinger bought bonds and demanded delivery. can you imagine it! asking to take possession of the thing you just bought is painted as manipulation!!!
No.

Specific to this incident, this person bought shares back in 2019 and boasted about it. There's no reason to peel back their privacy for an event that occurred well over a year later.

It is interesting that when Facebook and Twitter are confronted over some censorship they will often talk about needing to be more transparent over and over and over and over...
It's not because of this stock. The question is quite reasonable because some funds were overexposed into it, and the funds are much larger.
You don't seem terribly interested in providing any evidence to back up these claims.
What Has /r/WallStreetBets accomplished?
What is social accepted violence and social unacceptable violence depend on who the aggressor is and who the victim is. It is one of the reason why i suspect the far-right and far-left seems to use similar wording and aggressive speech when describing the other side. The more extremely culturally aligned they are to either side, the less they see the violence for what it is. What is worse, I often also see rationalization of that violence by perpetrator that their own violence is justified if it challenge status quo, if it stands up for a principle, if the other side is perceived by them as being more violent, with little regard to if the violence was needed compared to a non violent response.
this has to do greed of wall street and I have no remorse for hedge funds failing. karma is a bitch ain't it. but it should be illegal to disable chatrooms for reasons when before they were allowed so wall street could profit from it. we no longer live in a free market most of it is controlled.

This is true and I've seen some extremely vile, reprehensible things said, but that went unmoderated because they were said politely (I've actually seen people responding to these vile things get banned because they weren't nearly that polite).
Not anymore than any subject of press coverage, I guess.

Unpaid Founders Health Insurance Options?
My co-founder and I have raised a low six-digit round angel investment and have chosen not to pay ourselves a salary. however, we would like to apply a portion towards health insurance.

This eliminates options such as Justworks which, as a PMO, is legally required that at least one of us take a minimum wage 30hr/wk salary.

Have any founders been in this scenario, and if so, how did you resolve it?
Don't you know that's the only Proper way (tm), straight from our press association!
The clearinghouses and brokers likely won't let it happen. They'll step in and stop buying again if that's what it takes.

But if they are stopped from doing that, then it certainly could happen. I think the odds are greater then most might give it credit.
The issue with that argument is that it's really not “it’s fine as long as retail investors get to play too," it's “it’s fine until retail investors get to play too”
Third paragraph:

> In addition, we will act to protect retail investors when the facts demonstrate abusive or manipulative trading activity that is prohibited by the federal securities laws. Market participants should be careful to avoid such activity.

"Market participants" here is referring to retail traders. Don't make the mistake of thinking that just because you're the little guy, you're exempt from the law. It's like how the capitol rioters were sure they were on the side of America but the FBI (and half of America) sees things very differently.

A lot of government regulation is about protecting the little guy from other slightly more unscrupulous little guys. "The public" is not a monolithic entity - folks can and do screw each other over even when purporting to be part of the same mass movement.
In my experience, I have never seen people accidentally (or ignorantly) wire a stub to a stub. When you do this it is really obvious, because there are only trivial, or maybe no, assertions possible.

I have often - like on a team of 5-10 at least 2x per year - seen people wire a mock to a mock or a fake to a mock, and either not realize it (because it's under six layers of DI) or just they're not paying attention but someone said they "have to write tests" and trying to get it over with. And this is generally a lot less obvious, because the test suite is still full of assertions, sometimes even totally reasonable-looking ones. (Such tests are even sometimes "real tests" - but that the mock is doing what's expected, not of the desired SUT.)

There's also the general argument from the principle of least power. The less code in your doubles, the more certain you are the doubles are doing what you expect, and the more you're verifying what really matters in your code. Like how pure functions are preferable to impure functions when possible, having comprehensive tests without concerns about "side effects" also means your code has fewer relevant side effects.

>> to understand what oumuamua is based on everything we know?

Sure, but one should not make big decisions on so few data points. The data shows it as accelerating. Ok. I'm still not willing to say "alien civilizations exist and are using light sails" based on a handful of observations of a single object. One should hold off such monumental determinations until one has profound data available. So once any discussion moves from "it was accelerating" to "aliens are real", many serious scientists will just walk away. They will come back once there is a more appropriate data set for such discussions.
No, because the shorts aren't due all at the same time. Say that 15% is due each day for the next 10 days. On day 1 those shorters will buy 15% of the stock and return it. The people they return it to then can sell it to the shorters that need to cover on day 2. Those people then return it and it's sold to the day 3 shorters and so on.
That kind of economic growth requires more resources, but not all does. When Google tweaks a caching algorithm to enable 10% more with the same hardware/energy input, that contributes to economic growth with less resources. Same as if we discovered a new steel smelting technique that uses 10% less coking coal for the same quality steel.
How do we jump to the conclusion of aliens with so little information? Why not God sent it?
the standard (as a regulated person) is intention - you don't even have to succeed at moving the price in order to be guilty of market abuse/manipulation

Which part has little truth to it?

The big hedge funds are apparently losing money (billions!) on Gamestop, unless that's being mis-reported. Some of the "little guys" (reddit people) definitely were a part of the reason for that.
