>Why would they bother paying?

To make super-sure that the currently fashionable unspeakables are well and truly said. Stalinist trolling would have done the job in the past, fascist trolling now.

Of course if you can already point at it you might proceed straight to getting some momentum behind the outrage with some astroturfing and making sure there's more than one media story focusing on that very small amount of trolling as "the story". This is not much trouble to go to for the sums of money involved. Enron closed whole power stations, many of them, to rape California on electricity derivatives. The sums here are measured in billions, there's not much that would be too much trouble.
Compilers know how to generate code that is position independent. Apple requires such code on the iPhone. Therefore, all code that runs is slidable using ASLR. Whether you want to call that "the most expensive address mode" or not (it's really not all that expensive) is up to you. (Also, note that arm64 has fixed-length instructions regardless.)
I've been using Tree Style Tabs for a long time now. The transition was rough, but I never want to go back. Tabs are grouped automatically (you can of course drag/drop them), everything is in trees and branches you can close them as groups and subgroups, reload, favorite a tree, restore a tree, move to new window and so on and so on. It's absolutely amazing.
Yes. The 2008 bubble popped when the fed made an abrupt upward change in rates. Because housing prices vary inversely with rates, that put people under water. Now imagine the same effect with corporate and government finances on a much larger scale.
Funny enough, the capitol insurgents brought their own surveillance. Courtesy of FB and Twitter. Pretty sure all the video material streamed and posted by themselves would be more than enough in that case.
When I had some bad times and gone for unplanned overdraft three times in one month (all below £50 and paid off few days later) they closed my account and I also had to deal with changing the bank during those times. Absolutely awful. In my opinion one must be a drug lord to get a good treatment from HSBC.
>Financial industry usually values stability and it's a bit disconcerting to see a stock broker embarking on such trend now.

It's because of Robinhood. Mobile friendly (Material?) UX is very "welcoming" to users, compared to the multitudes of tables and charts that are typically part of a trading platform. Since RH was able to onboard a lot of users, especially amateurs, the others have been paying attention and doing every thing to become similar to RH, to capture that huge amateur market.
Figure out some interested people upfront and a rough time (thus cost) estimate.

Then pool resources via a funding platform, get the word out (here on HN, social media, mailing lists) and you may get it done quite soon and also at a low relatively low cost per user.
FWIW, I've just powered my very old Sony Vaio VGN-Z790DND with an Intel SSD (INTEL SSDSA1NW160G3[1]) that's been sitting in my garage unpowered for 3+ years, and it booted into Ubuntu with no trouble. I'll try Windows Vista next that's sitting there on a 32GiB partition :D

(And funnily, Ubuntu 14.04 felt so fast coming from Ubuntu 20.04: terminal does not have any unnecessary animations, nor does Unity, and the experience is so much fresher, though I've got 920MB of updates that are installing right now and stressing the SSD)

So, perhaps the above warning only applies to more recent SSD technologies (MLC, TLC, QLC, GazillionLC and so forth :), or maybe IBM SSDs are messed up somehow.
I still wonder how could nine experienced hikers decide to flee without clothes in extreme weather conditions for about a mile after a visually relatively small avalanche.

I'm both impressed and horrified by complexity of this.
No proof either way, with many accounts claiming and sharing screenshots of margin trading being disabled in their accounts, and it's more likely that these forced sales were due to the delay between RH and the banks, rather than being a normal margin between RH and the clearance house.
Honestly this stuff all just makes me feel really old.

In a past life that wasn't even that far away, I implemented single page sites with smooth transitions and all sorts of fun stuff in a few lines of CSS. There was like 1kB of JS thrown on top to add a bit of "nice to have" functionality.

I implemented an entire clone of Flappy Bird in like 50kB. The bulk of that was a polyfill so it worked on IE8.

I implemented a curling game that would open up a webcam in the background and continuously capture and process images to try and detect shapes you'd drawn on paper. When it detected one it would trace the shape and decompose it into a convex shape as that's all the physics engine supported, then render this on a 65" touchscreen coffee table and let you curl with your custom shaped rock with realistically calculated physics including an appropriate density for your curling rock based on the volume of the same you'd created. It would calculate scoring and use websockets to communicate that to another device which was hooked up to a TV that displayed a leaderboard. This was all in about 500kB, and the bulk of that was the physics engine (what could've been a "computer vision" library was like a kilobyte of vanilla JS). There was no effort made to prune unused code or anything because it was never loaded over the network or required to be optimized for load times and I only had a week to build it.

I honestly cannot even begin to comprehend how we're shipping static websites with 1MB+ of JS. Damn kids, get off my lawn.
This matches my expectation, it's just that I'd expect the household-invented games to be novel/creative and bad on average.
"Finance pirates"

Why are we all buying this narrative that it's a bunch of little guys on r/WSB driving this?

As though the little guy narrative were some average stock pickers who happened onto buying $MSFT back in the late '70s?

It may well be the case that a bunch of day traders on a Reddit obtained some good Intel and are stickin' it to The Man.

But that also sounds a bit too perfect.

If another hedge fund saw an opportunity to blow away some competition, and ran the strategy through a Reddit for plausible deniability, that would also work.

It's OK: the federal government will pass the damage on to the peasantry in any case.

> Really though, the focus on them is a distraction from the much larger slip by the entire financial system.

Exactly. I also watched the recent CNBC interview with Chamath Palihapitiya [1]. I would like to it, but CNBC keeps taking it down.

In any case, the host really doesn’t seem like he’s there to « get to the bottom of things or to understand » but to push the idea that the problem is anything other than the preconditions that led up to this.

Chamath was spot on.

Ask HN: Spanish text appended to Amazon automated mail
I have refunded my order on Amazon.co.uk and received a confirmation email with the following subject line:

At the end of the message they write that "Please note: this is an auto generated e-mail and we cannot read your answers reply."

So how did this funny subject line get there?

That's not a very good dismissal of the man's work, like I said that revelation alone is as solid as an entire University's department of post doc and grad students combined. It's overturned so many people's dissertations and the narrative of how the Ice Age ended, specifically to the migration of People into the Americas from Eurasia that has so many implications in other departments like biology.

Also, his observations of water erosion on Egyptian pyramids is very compelling, and places it way before the modern Egyptian narrative if its true as nothing provided by modern Egyptologists really explains how deep it is. Wind/sand erosion cannot carve that deeply, especially since so much of the pyramids was under sand until maybe only modern times when it became a large part of the Egyptian economy via tourism, thus preserving it from further erosion.
The GCC Runtime Exception v3 might forbid that. That's one of the reasons why Apple and Google blew a gasket when GNU changed licenses and then poured billions into Clang. They wanted to be able to recompile your app store binaries on their backend to optimize for any hardware changes they made.

One workaround for that restriction is to use Cosmopolitan Libc: https://justine.lol/cosmopolitan/index.html It bundles compiler runtime libraries that are fast and permissively licensed. It lets you keep using GCC without facing restrictions on things like code morphing.
ok, but who moved a larger volume? they have different incentives, of course that result in different optimizations.
The telephone analogy is a good case against your position.

The modern equivalent of the telephone network is the internet, specifically the cables, routers and switches that allow us to communicate.

The owners of said equipment are not liable if child pornography is send through their wires.

That is not a problem, we don’t close roads because child pornographers use them.

But the end point is a totally different matter.

But to the point: moderating the (tone of) the discussion, is essential for a good discussion. You can’t have the trolls interfering.

I think moderation and thus limiting free speech somewhat is actual fundamental essential for a good debate or discussion.

The stocks they are borrowing for their shorts have really high interest now. They are bleeding money just paying interest. And now that goes for a couple of hundred percent of the stock float.
Citadel Securities (the market maker that buys and executes Robinhood's order flow) and Citadel (the investment group) are very different companies, and they have a ton of red tape in place to prevent risk of collusion between the two.

Considering Citadel Securities makes _significantly_ more money than Citadel would stand to lose with its short positions, the thought of the two colluding to pressure Robinhood seems a bit far fetched to me.
Assuming Canada has similar rules to Europe on energy efficiency now: It would not be such an elegant slender looking structure as there are stricter requirements for insulation which, for a structure like this, would require some major gymnastics to prevent cold-bridging through major structural elements. You would either need to insulate the whole structure making it all look 'fatter' and over engineered or you would need to control interfaces between outside and inside structure carefully to be sure that you are not transferring major moment loads near thermal boundaries so that you don't have huge structural elements crossing thermal boundaries. Where you can't avoid this, a typical strategy is to insulate along a beam or column until the length of steel and or concrete structure has the equivalent U-Value to the surrounding typical construction, whilst taking care to ensure that its all sealed up to prevent vapour migrating through the insulation and condensing on the cold structure thereby creating corrosion problems later.
One of my big time complaints about UX is the lack of reflexivity for end-users and support technicians.

As a college student, I worked part-time for the campus IT department. My job mostly consisted of responding to support tickets that came into our system. Around 90% of these requests required me to initiate a remote desktop connection with the client. Never in a million years could I simply understand the problem that the user was experiencing by their explanation.

So why on earth are there so many systems in place that don't offer a user-perspective view of the data? I'm not just scoping this problem to the world of IT - I've experienced this problem from both the support technician and end-user standpoint in sales, support, and education.
As a hypertension sufferer I know the harm it can cause but as a 140/100 for over twenty five years aged 59 with intermittent treatment, I'm struggling with the idea it's an imminent problem in and of itself compared to eg untreated 160/120 or worse.

Reading around, health standards vary by economy. Maybe australia has a different cutoff bp to the USA.
The nih say you need five visits to be assessed on 140/100.

Many people with hypertension have comorbidities. Diabetes for instance, which also causes neuropathy.

Is it ideal? No. Far from it. I wish I could get mine lower. I see my health professional regularly, I am taking my prescribed medication, and I exercise. I have had no signal that I am facing imminent demise. Far from it.

That's all I meant really: if there is no other problem, I think treated 140/100 could be sustained for some time.
You said "absolutely nothing wrong".

Regardless of the legality - the entire stock market, is not mechanisms which lead to equitable and socially beneficial distribution of resources, efforts, products, services. Fundamental needs and well-recognized valid interests of the majority of the population (in the US and in the world at large) are unmet and unattended to, while limited interests of small elites are well catered to.

So, there is a lot wrong with short-selling as part of a wider mechanism.

Do you really need that amount of RAM when SSD and NVMe storage is so fast and high-bandwidth nowadays? Just add some swap space and be done with it. Wear and tear on the underlying Flash media is not the problem it once was, given how big SSD's are these days - and you can use SMART statistics to keep track of any emerging issue from that POV.
Eventually, either the Wall Street "hive mind" (really though, WS contains thousands of funds and many would be overjoyed to see some competitors fall) or the retail buyers of these companies will be proven wrong. What happens next is way more interesting than the current situation.

Even if it turns out that GME can be short squeezed until there is not a single share shorted anymore, the retail investors will then collectively be HODLing a ton of stock in a company losing hundreds of millions per year. Buying pressure for such stocks is typically low. There is no way everyone can get out at the top, so a lot of people will have to sell at very low prices. This is even true if the original thesis of "we can pump this stock to $1000" is true.
don't know why this is downvoted. they literally enabled the short holders to engage in a ladder attack with a fraction of the volume it would have required otherwise.
Ignoring conflict evidence, ie, confirmation bias, sounds like just about every human I've ever seen. Especially scientists with their pet theories. I suppose it comes down to how people weight the evidence, they're definitely biased toward weightings that support their favorite theory.

Just as I'm sure you are with your Hancock's BS theory.

Is it really true that he's only been peddling unsubstantiated stuff tho?

Didn't he propose that the younger dryas ice age was caused by an impact, a claim later supported by more evidence, including nanodiamonds? I know the
cause remains unsettled, but even if you read Wikipedia, which starts out saying the evidence for that is misinterpreted, it goes on to detail a bunch of solid sounding evidence. That's there's contention and ambiguity is not unusual for science, particularly such a speculative science as archaeology. But his proposal, at least, sounds neither crazy, nor appears to be unsubstantiated, as you claim.
As with Linux, a lot of the lines-of-code turns out to be device-related: for the kernel it's device drivers, and for QEMU it's models of devices. Also, just because we don't have a high level design document doesn't mean we don't have a high level design -- it's just that it's inside the heads of the developers rather than on paper :-)

It looks like that book is from 2006, predating widespread recognition of Göbekli Tepe's significance. At the time, from my recollection, the mainstream view as that human culture at 10k BPE was nowhere near being able to produce the kind of social organisation that a complex like Göbekli Tepe would require. Was the book ahead of its time in recognising the potential for something like Göbekli Tepe? Or does it need a new edition, in light of what's been discovered?
I am glad they addressed the philosophical question of whether shorting the stocks should be illegal.

I have more confidence in our equities markets because of the existence of short sellers. I’m glad to know there are people researching companies that are not being honest about their financials.

If there were another way to incentivize finding these types of companies without short selling, I would be interested.

Please assume good faith–I am familiar with how the shared cache works and my comments apply equally to either the main executable or the shared cache. My point is that the shared cache is not very well randomized at all–for its size, the region it has to slide around in is fairly small. From the original blog post detailing the ASLR break (https://googleprojectzero.blogspot.com/2020/01/remote-iphone...) the number of probes required to find the mapping is quite small, purely because it can only be located within a single 4 GB region for whatever reason. On a system with terabytes of virtual address space, this is a strange choice.

Oh, and because you mentioned it: yes, the shared cache has many objects in it. The process of making it is fairly involved, especially since many optimizations go into it (string deduplication, perfect hashing for Objective-C runtime metadata, shortening intra-cache procedure calls, …) But this is all done once when it is built by Apple's B&I, so it's not a problem on-device.

"States don’t like strategic dependence and so, in 2021, they will develop standards and technology that diverge from global commons, and which embody their values and which they control. This will be more than the different “flavours” of the internet we are already seeing emerge. It will be a fundamental shift in how technology is developed, owned, accessed and leveraged by nation states and companies."
The article hasn't mentioned the sizes of the cubes, but the linked journal paper shows that the typical size is 2.3cm x 2.5cm x 4cm, which is about (but slightly thicker than) the size of a rubber/eraser. So, the shape is more like a rectangular cuboid than a cube.
I get wanting to crush untouchables; I just think it's a hysterical stance to take vis-a-vis something like FB.
You're not having the King "do something about taxes"; you're having him go on witch hunts.

I'm suspicious about how much witch-hunters actually want the king gone, or whether they wouldn't want to replace him with a cheka later. They have a vested interest in power staying centralized. This all makes it a lot funnier when it's their sister being burnt at the stake. Someone might even break out a saying.

With how evasive you're being, I can only assume your stances would cast you in an unfavourable light, similar to the guy who's "Just asking questions about race".

Why are u valuing a stock by its dividends alone? There are stocks without dividends.

I agree we are in a bit of a bubble right now, but your valuation method seems a bit lacking. Walmart has a P/E of 20 which while also too basic on its own would give you a far more realistic 20 years.
