The EU doesn't own everything in the EU, it's not the Soviet Union (much as people like you seem to want it to be).

They aren't "EU vaccines". Astra Zeneca can ship them wherever they want based on contractual and legal practices. Those are privately owned AstraZeneca facilities. The idea that you can separate out "EU money" within a private company is also ridiculous.

If the EU wants to start playing games then other countries and corporations will simply remove the EU from supply chains etc. Japan and South Korea for example trusted that normal contractual and legal practices would be followed when they ordered vaccines produced in the EU, and are now publicly stating their concern.

Do you think they'll ever trust the EU again if it tries to violate their contractual rights on the moronic grounds that "they were made in the EU therefore they belong to the EU"?

Tesla Model 3 has 100k miles warranty for battery with guarantee that battery will have at least 70% capacity remaining. Actual numbers indicate that degradation usually is significantly less - closer to 90% battery capacity at 100k miles: https://electrek.co/2020/06/06/tesla-battery-degradation-rep...

Solar is great but it doesn't work at night.

At least here in California it seems like the toughest times for the grid currently are around 7-9pm when they do the solar to fossil fuel transition (wind can be sporadic). I imagine that'll coincide with when a lot of cars are charging so hopefully we're able to step up our energy storage capacity
> So he is referring to copyright. Books do the same thing, do you find books abusive as well?

If by "books" you mean "copyright on books, as enforced against people rather than corporations[0]", then yes, yes 'they' are.

0: Nitpick: legal action against a corporation for printing something by request from a particular customer is legal action against that customer, the same as if you'd prosecuted 15'000$ that you stole from their car for being drug money.
I have synced dotfiles across my various machines and I run i3 across these. My configs for DPI consist entirely of the following:

Xresources:

Xft.dpi:120
st.font: monospace:size=14

xsession:

# haven't had time to dig into this, some systems need
# DPI set twice
xSetDpi () { xrandr --dpi "$1"; xrandr --dpi "$1"; }

That function is called in a case statement for other machine-specific startup config, but it's just a matter of xSetDpi 144;.

emacs.d/init.el:

(set-face-attribute 'default nil :height xxx)

Again this is per-host, but it's a simple COND expression.

qutebrowser/config.py:

# even with DPI set, I typically find web text too small
c.zoom.default = '175%'

I promise you that this does not feel like any significant effort for me. It's ~10 lines across a few config files, each of which I would be maintaining anyway - none of these configs were born for the express purpose of handling DPI or zoom or anything like that.

I value having a system that is configured exactly to my preferences. I recognize that having multiple configs is a turnoff for some. I can't debate personal preference.

I have spent much more time trying to get something like Gnome to behave in a way I want than I have on all of my current config. XFCE is a pretty good experience for a DE and configuring scaling through system settings.

It would be both annoying and somewhat useless, for giving an application access to the input system gives an application access to everything because then it could give itself access to everything.

The same of course applies to giving it access to the file system.

Something so simple as an audio manipulation application must have access to the filesystem, unless one only will it to be able to save within a specific subsection thereof, and if it be granted such access, it can now edit whatever file stores whatever application has whatever permissions, thus giving itself full permissions.

The further problems with this scheme are that it's not entirely clear where the limits of one “application” lies which would have to be defined.

It makes a great deal of assumptions that may not be true.

This is also a problem with Linux capabilities. — I remember well an explanation where the auctor demonstrated how in about 2/3 of all Linux capabilities, they, or in combination with one other capability were sufficient to escalate to full root access on almost any modern normal system.

Many of these security restrictions are theoretical of nature, and on most systems amount to very little against a sufficiently skilled attacker, but do inspire a false sense of security.

And that is what it seems to truly be for: not making the user safe, but making him feel safe, and the latter often has a negative influence on the former.

>They are smarter than conspiracy theories but they still follow a conspiracy logic. Finding patterns where there are none, spinning coincidences and correspondences into connections. Instead of making a claim about cause and effect he will just juxtapose some images.

Thinking for yourself requires being able to make claims without having mapped an exact cause and effect - even without having evidence at hand.

It's about understanding connections and patterns and who benefits.

As for the "actual proof" sometimes those who you depend to provide it (and only hold it) are either your open enemies or are supposedly friendly (e.g. your government or Big Tech) but profit from hiding it.

People who can't connect the dots for themselves are taken advantage of (by governments, "experts" with conflicts of interests, media pundits, etc.) and are gullible.

People who over-connect the dots are conspiracy theorists (and might be gullible to different things).

One needs to hit the sweet spot (which is not that narrow, your theories don't have to be perfect, just useful to predict what will happen and understand whose your friend or your enemy).

On the other hand, the bmw i3 is a serial hybrid. I think the two models are basically an EV and an EV+generator (range extender). One got more subsidies than the other.

What I wonder about is - what happens to the i3 when the electric battery is depleted and all you have is the generator? Can you maintain speed? Will you run out of battery first or run out of fuel?

The universality of UBI is key to its political viability.

Most people still view "fairness" as everyone being treated equally. So just give everyone an equal amount of money.

To me, the parent is describing a functional circular dependency that we all have to live with, but when we’ll design the system it will be masqueraded in a many to many association in a third object/table and we’ll proudly say “we have no circular dependencies”.

This is not true. Your pixel density is a function of your resolution and dimensions. “HiDPI” is a nebulous term that refers to high resolution screens that are also relatively small.
Agreed. For example, a device which augments my memory by allowing me to replay and record my own experiences, would invariably violate copyright. Which is offensive to me.

If you have antivirus software installed, you presumably want it to scan stuff that is downloaded from the internet.

Ask HN: Best Resources on (Computational) Finance
Given the current situation, I was curious what are some good resources on finance, ideally with a computational point of view? I have tried to read some books but they all feel very poorly written and insanely boring.
I don't think that's how this works. They "just" need to pay twice for it. The over 100% borrows happen like this:

Alice owns one GME. Bob borrows the share and sells it to John. John doesn't know this is borrowed stock and borrows it to Lisa. This way way you got two borrows on one stock.

As you can see, the hedgefonds likely already recovered some stocks from 140% down to 113%.

Their intention was to speculate on Gamespots bankruptcy and there for not even have to buy back any shares. That's why they overshot like this and also why they are human scum needing to bleed for their sins.

I honestly don't know what it means for the short squeeze, if they reach <100%. I assume at that point it becomes less of an we against them, and increasingly more of an everyone against everyone, again.

> The fundamental approach to problem solving is search, and evolution is a kind of search

Ehh, problem-solving is search (searching for an answer), so it this statement doesn’t really make sense except as a tautology. I agree that evolution is a core means by which problems are solved, and perhaps the core means.

Humans are incredibly good searchers because of the evolution we’ve undergone, to the extent we’ve started evolving our own searchers to enhance our problem solving ability. I’m not sure if we can reasonably say that those searchers have started to evolve their own searchers, but it’s safe to say it will happen soon.

The big question to me is what beings evolved us (the universe/whatever the embedding we call reality really is), and what problem were we meant to solve? This is basically unknowable as far as I can tell, and the foundation of all “religion”.

> Healthy companies don't need to emergency borrow a billion dollars.

Sure, move your holdings out of RH. I don't have an account there, and never had, and probably won't ever.

But, regardless of RH's health or lack thereof, most companies don't have a sudden change in collateral requirements.

If what I understand from forum posts and twitter threads and youtube interviews or CEOs on speakerphone is accurate,

On thursday morning, DTCC changed requirements so that net buy orders for GME pending settlement would need to have 100% of the value of the shares posted as collateral (marked to market at end of day). I don't know what the requirement was on Wednesday, apparently 1-2% is common, but I'd hope it was already elevated earlier in the week.

And that colateral has to be owned by the clearing firm (which is RH for RH), and apparently can't be formed from clients' money, possibly including settled cash from the clients who made the buy?

This isn't a long term cash need, it's only while there's a large amount of net buys in volatile stocks awaiting settlement. Assuming either clients stop buying so much (because some are selling, or it gets borint) after a while or the price stops moving so quickly, collateral requirements should go back down and RH can return the money. As long as their clients don't stiff them on the buys anyway.

That they were able to quickly get a billion dollars hints toward fine enough health (or crazy lenders).

More worrisome is that they apparently didn't have a plan for managing trading in stocks with high collateral requirements (some established brokerages had enough collateral to do nothing, others limited trading to settled cash and similar trades with reduced credit risk for the brokerage). I don't necessarily expect an upstart brokerage to have unlimited collateral, but planning and managing around insufficient collateral should have been done; and more transparency would be nice. Maybe they had done some planning though, I certainly wouldn't be able to get a $1 B loan in a single day, although who knows what it cost them.

The crazy thing is that the connection between the worth of a company and its market performance is so tenuous that the emh shouldn't make sense in the stock market.

The only connections are: if a company does a buyback if it's share price gets low and can afford it off of existing revenue, if a company needs to raise cash and does a dilutatory raise, if the company exits the market via merger, acquisition, or bankruptcy, or if it's a dividend stock. All of these events are relatively rare.

An interesting paper that I don't see brought up often enough is "Dissolving the Fermi Paradox" by Anders Sandberg, Eric Drexler and Toby Ord[0]. They show that it isn't a surprise that we are alone in the universe if we consider the uncertainty inherent to parameters of the Drake equation. Their analysis estimate that there is (at least) a 39% chance that we are alone in the observable universe.

Ugh, that sounds awful! The Copy action should always be the same action, and it should always copy only, and never do unexpected, possibly harmful, things.

Re: Maximize. FWIW I have always preferred the OSX implementation -- it allows me two different window sizes that I can choose myself, and toggle between them. But I'll concede that if you come from Windows, having one of those choices taken away from you feels more natural. :)

Re: OneModifierKeyButNotCtrl+C. I can't speak for Windows, but this does not work on Linux. You can screw around with xmodmap and some apps to your heart's content, but you will never configure a GUI/DE-wide key combination for Copy that works in all apps. This is what you get, for free, on all versions of MacOS, ever.

Unless your argument devolves to "source code is available". In which case: OK I guess.

Re: macOS inflexibility. I mean, sure. And sometimes flexibility is critical. Other times, carefully-chosen defaults and strong consistency is more important. Anyway Linux's flexibility does not provide a path to solve this specific UX design error, so it doesn't help me here.

Don't get me wrong. Linux is great, and I choose it and use it happily for many things. I choose other OSes (all Unixes though!) for other purposes.

I have specific requirements for my desktop/console/terminal environment which might not match yours. MacOS meets them with default configuration plus some minor tweaks (e.g. focus follows mouse). Linux is not flexible enough to meet those needs, so I do not choose it for that purpose. All good.

They did not call themselves slaves ... someone on HN did. The logic I cannot square is how someone can say these people are slaves with a straight face.

I don't care what they do with their lives, if they want to illegally enter a racist facist hellhole where half the country are white supremacists that is their choice. What I object to is saying they are slaves because they voluntarily make this choice.
The argument that Reddit/WSB users manipulated the market is a more difficult one to make vs. the argument that RH manipulated the market when they restricted their users to only sell GME. If they stopped both buying and selling then GME would not have dropped the way it did.

RH CEO’s denial said they made the move to protect the firm and their customers, but blocking buying and selling would’ve given them the protections without the risk of causing a change in the price. So it’s hard to believe that RH’s intent was anything but pushing the price of GME down to cover their customer’s short position.

It's not that hard to find a fast printer if print speed is important to you. I have a Brother MFCJ6535DW inkjet printer that's rated at 35 ppm black and white and 22 ppm color. I haven't measured it precisely, but it's doing at least 20 pages per minute.

I think when it was new it cost around $500, but I got this one as a refurb for $180.

(my wife works in a state regulated industry and prints a lot of paper - 500 - 1500 pages/month, so the printer gets a workout, and consumables are cheap - a 3000 page black ink cartridge costs around $25, about half the price as toner for our old laser printer and has no other consumables to replace like a fuser drum)

I want to support the local economy, so unless an item is only available on Amazon, I try to avoid buying from them. I've ordered from lots of different online stores in the past few years, and in my experience these dark patters are pretty rare.
