personally i haven't seen any commentary from DFV disparaging institutions. its not accurate to take WSB commentary in aggregate and assign it to an individual.

not to mention, not everyone is in a position to say "screw the man" and do their own thing. the ideal exists but the means may not be there.
Eh. It’s pretty terrible on mobile, though. I can’t read or click anything without zooming and a page load for each directory resets the zoom. I would say the content isn’t really relevant for mobile users but the images themselves actually work pretty well on my device. Far better than the site itself.
I've never looked at images like this before. Really cool. I don't know the nomenclature, but one question I have is, why are the points where metal contacts touch the IC so... complicated? For example:

There's a lot going on this AMD IC where the metal leads make contact with it. Not really sure what they are, just a bunch of wavy lines, maybe: https://siliconpr0n.org/map/amd/d87c51/mz_mit20x/#x=5299&y=1...

Btw, I think it's really cool how the URL changes depending on what part of the image is zoomed in on.
It only becomes a big deal when the government steps in to "assist" in any way beyond providing copious liquidity.

Downdrafts and even crashes are called corrections for a reason. They eliminate the weak holders and cause the remainder to carefully evaluate their positions. In the absence of interference, they will be over quickly.

They are a disaster for retail investors on margin. I've never understood why the SEC doesn't gradually increase margin requirements across the board when the market starts to get overheated. (But not once it tops!!)
It wasn't Microsoft who added this, an outside developer submitted a pull request.

Of course the Microsoft developers did have to spend some time reviewing and merging the code, but at least they didn't have to write the code.

I think procrastination from ADHD effects is a really tiny part of it. Reasons for me not making ADHD tools or for my general symptoms so far in life:

1)I get tonnes of ideas to work on, far more than I could ever create. 99% of them aren't obviously anything to do with symptoms or ADHD at all. The projects that could help with ADHD have to compete for my time with ideas that solve some other thing I think of solving.
1b) there have been some problems that with hindsight where magnified because of poor working memory or other symptoms, but since I hadn't realised that's why they bothered me so much, I'd talk about them to other people and the ideas would be shot down or tweaked for mass-market usage. Since I want to solve problems, and get paid for it at some point, if I'm told "yeah that's just you, nobody else has that problem" it's easy to think "okay then, I'll move on to my next favourite idea even though I really want this one to exist".
2) it's hard to get non-adhd people to get excited by products that solve ADHD issues (needed if you want to do any kind of funding, even family and friends round). For starters ADHD is really badly misunderstood by the general population. Many symptoms look like we're not trying hard enough in some area of self care or organisation plus the acronym is straight up a terrible representation of the condition - it highlights only the most noticeable traits it shows as in young patients - not the areas that negatively effect people in working life. Also lots of big pain points for ADHD sufferers are felt to a much lesser extent by non-adhd, and so there are tools that are able to solve it for non-adhd but don't quite work for us. A quick look or even a bit of usage can make a tool look like it solves the problem when it really doesn't for us

Probably more reasons but this is getting long and I need to end this comment at some point
I know this is the party line right now but it’s nothing more then Joe Biden is doing his best to set low expectations and to revamp history.

I’m a committed never Trumper. But there’s no question that warp speed has been a insane success. Biden set at the bar as low as warp speed was already achieving.

There are 1 million valid reasons to hate Trump. This might be the only reason to think his government did a reasonable job at one task.
Probably a little bit illegal (like, hundreds of dollars of fines per millions of dollars of infringement) and this is pure speculation.

But as I understand it, the Market Makers like Citadel are only required to be market neutral in terms of their statistical exposure at the end of the day, and don't need to report their long/short position. On the other hand, brokers aren't required to be delta neutral, but do report their long/short position. You can probably hide a lot of these shorts in this baby. I guess this also doesn't count short interest that's in bespoke one-off derivatives that hedge funds and investment banks trade between themselves.

Also, nobody has to tell Ortex what their short interest is. The only true numbers we can sort of trust are the twice monthly delayed reports. Ortex is just a third party service provider that goes around calling brokerages and doing some stats on the market to see how they think the short interest has changed.

So, I can see it being pretty low risk even if you do get caught.

I think (with very low probability, but it is an explanation) this could also be why we're seeing random 100% spikes in unrelated stocks that claim to have approximately 0% short interest. Some hedge fund somewhere is in some sort of hidden short, getting margin called, or nervous, or just de-risking and getting out of an off the books short trade, causing a mini short squeeze. There are a couple companies with suspicious pops this week, and I'd be on the lookout for more of this activity on Monday. Could just be people getting out of high volatility positions though, or freeing up capital for other things. But that would be selling pressure, not buying. So, -\?/-

The bug was not in Ethereum, it was in the contracts. And before this incident, the philosophy of Ethereum was that "the code is the contract". The hacker did not breach the contract. They noticed a bug, or as one could say, a loophole, and used it to their benefit.

I don't know what the mechanism of enforcement was. Whether it was a fork or something else, the net effect was that a) the history was rewritten, the contract terms changed retroactively, and the monies were returned to their source; and b) the concept of code is contract was effectively showed to be an empty gesture and the philosophy was effectively abandoned.

I wonder if the Chinese vaccine with 50% efficiency could be used for herd immunity at all. Im not a virologyst, but the false safety of most people vaccinated with it in a country might could trigger even more death? The Chinese vaccine is not even tested above 59 years old. If the young is vaccinated and start to party etc the new more infectious variants could still spread and can reach even more elderly.
The US has various vaccine trackers for side effects. They are anyone can put anything in them. (including things like alien abduction), but they give us a guide as to what is reported. Something like 1 in 100,000 has an allergic reaction in 15 minutes and needs treatment (an epi-pen). That is the only side effect I've heard of.

The numbers of allergic reaction are different for Moderna and Pfizer. If you have a history of allergies you should consult your allergist for advice.

The above numbers are public, but I'm not sure where I read them. As always I'm just a guy on the internet, if you need medical advice see a doctor.

"When you sign up for a new account, you’ll automatically start with a Robinhood Instant account, *which is a margin account*."

> it's trading on deposits that you make that are instantly available

If it's made instantly available, it is being loaned to you from Robinhood, but that is... still margin. It may be interest free margin, but it's still margin. It is money that has not settled into your account yet. If it's not on margin, you can't use it until it's settled.

Hell if you sell a stock and then immediately buy a new one, that is also margin, because, again, the funds have not settled into your account yet.

If you want a Cash account (a non-margin account), you can downgrade, and "You won’t have access to instant deposits or instant settlements".

The fact that you have to do this manually however is, in my opinion, predatory, and setting up a house of cards that will eventually fall over, because users won't understand what is actually happening.

But the fact that it's predatory doesn't make it not true.

Actually color in the history of Apple stems from Woz not Jobs, who added color to Apple II. Jobs in fact reverted to black and white in Macintosh/original NeXT and spent the compute/memory resources on other things (e.g. higher res).

A large part of the head start wasn't manufacturing the vaccine, it was setting up the factories to manufacture the vaccine.
Xfce Customization – Make Xfce Look Better
One other issue with the mRNA vaccines is that they're brand new technology, never before produced in bulk, so except for the vials, most everything is new and we're still climbing the learning curve. The production of DNA using E. Coli isn't new, but everything else is, including how physically fragile the end result is. If you shake a thawed out vial of Pfizer/BioNTech's, you're directed to throw it out, of Moderna's, call them.

And I'd say with the exception of Sanofi/GSK's complete failure with the elderly, and AZ/Oxford's mess, we're getting about the results we should have expected. J&J's ambitious only one dose is not super good, but not bad, on the other hand it's also relatively new technology, which I'm not sure they've ever made in bulk in a hurry. Novavax's 89% is quite fine from a protein plus adjuvant vaccine (Sanofi/GSK's was the same), and uses old technology like Protein Sciences', they should be able to make it quickly, and only requires refrigeration. J&J should be about ready to make a FDA Emergency Use Authorization application, the Phase III US trials for Novavax and J&J's two dose 8 weeks apart are still in progress.

But, yes, in speed to market mRNA is new technology that's very very fast. Moderna literally developed their vaccine candidate over a weekend, although that was based on a lot of their prior work, and others in SARS like coronavirus vaccines. Whereas they had their first batch made in weeks, then had to wait a couple of weeks for the results of sterility tests.
They knew they had clinical vaccine candidates in February! The whole development timeline starts with one of the good vaccines already existing.

We honestly don't have the information to evaluate whether they set reasonable targets or not.
Oh yeah, you're right—thanks for pointing that out!
It’s its management. Gamestop wasnt able to catch up with the times and a pile of money won’t help them. The model isn’t vaible anymore and if they pivot into something else they may as well change the name as it would be irrelevant. A start up experiences most progress when they’re small and nimble. I assume Gamestop as a corp has accumulated a lot of cruft and that would hold them back.
I noticed fairly recently that I often, but not always, type the letter "P" with my ring finger, rather than my little (pinky) finger. I'm still not sure whether that's adaptive or wrong.

The idea that what is happening is illegal market manipulation is kind of ridiculous to me since it's not really any different than anyone (including shorts) going on CNBC and talking about why you should buy X stock
>> there are far more side-effects w/mRNA than traditional vaccines

Please list those. Should be easy as you claim there's so many of them. Also please prove how often those many side effects occur. Thank you.

Your video specifically mentions triggering a 'cytotoxic T-cell' - that's a cell that kills virus-infected cells. What's more, it doesn't explicitly state that all the bodily cells that receive the foreign mRNA survive.

I'm pretty sure they're attacked & destroyed by the immune system for their emission of foreign proteins - that is, they "appear infected". And, some time after the mRNA was introduced – days? weeks? – it's all used up, because unlike a full viral vector, it doesn't code for more invasive genetic material, only proteins. And, the cells it hijacked are in some combination, destroyed by the immune system or revert back to normal, non-threatening operation.

If you have a more specific reference that denies the mRNA-altered cells are attacked-as-if-infected, I'd appreciate seeing it. But that video doesn't make that claim, and in fat the reference to 'cytotoxic T-cells' implies the opposite.

(Also, as the sibling response elaborates, the problems with Adenovirus-vectors are not limited to PEG reactions.)
I dont know if this applies to Cuban. But something people should keep in mind when looking at these things. There are many business people with an axe to grind with short sellers.

You keep saying this, but you haven't demonstrated any way in which pouring more money into the process would have significantly speeded up production. Do Intel's massive financial resources allow them to profitably manufacture chips on their 10 nm and 7 nm nodes?
Exactly. I have some friends in Singapore and the gov’t said “everyone will get a vaccine but you won’t have a choice as to which one you get”.

Since they stand a better than 1/3 chance of getting SinoVac (since the other two will be reserved for the elderly as they have strong data) a lot of them are planning to delay getting vaccinated until more is known about SinoVac.
A lot of details unknown, so difficult to say. I’m inclined to say fight for it, you’re the incumbent with vision for the company, a deep understanding of the current situation and trust of the team.

I think this write-up is interesting but structurally incorrect, and everyone here is taking away the wrong conclusions.

The punchline here is:
> Unfortunately, once they were scaled up to production levels of use, their tradeoffs turned out to be too much to bear. These models are good—especially given how imbalanced the data for this problem is—but with too many false positives from one and too little predictive power from the other, they’re not worth betting so much money on.

A practical next-step analysis would be some back-of-the-envelope economic math about the necessary detection threshold for detecting and replacing failing drives. Overall, it doesn't even make sense to even think about applying ML without understanding the cost/benefit of solving the problem.

Think about Backblaze -- the drives are packed in there tightly and it's super expensive to replace one, whereas there's basically zero cost to leaving one in place. Even if you could perfectly predict which drives would fail, there's no reason you'd act on that info.

But what if you’re off my path? Or just off the main street of the town? Also note that being on my path to work costs even more money - location is expensive and businesses will pay extra to be in high visibility spaces.

HAHA oh my god this is terrifyingly predatory. It says "automatically", but I hope that there is a notice at least. Even if someone went to the effort to make sure that they understood their account type, it would just... change out from under them.

This is sort of like accidently using a premium feature in some SaaS platform, and being automatically upgraded into a free trial without knowing.

The memory resources must have been tight, because the original Mac had like a 512x342 pixel display, not even enough to display a full page width of text. I'm not sure it had gray scale.

An additional factor may have been speed, since it was doing things with graphics that may have been too slow if they had to manipulate larger blocks of data.
This is nitpicking. Replace "improving chemical weapons" with "improving gases that will likely only be used in chemical weapons".
The mRNA vaccines are 95%, J%J is 66%. The former number is confirmed by the FDA, while the latter is a press release (probably accurate, but they might be hiding something while would be used to make them look better). The J&J vaccine just isn't as good. It is good enough, but not as good.

Of course it is possible that the difference is because a vaccine resistant strain is running around now and so J&J got unlucky by not starting their trails as soon. However right now all the numbers we have say J&J isn't as good. Good enough probably, but not as good.

Pure armchair speculation, but I'd at least like public heath officials to explain their logic.

Tier 0: High risk daily exposure. (Medical, Rescue, Law Enforcement)

Tier 1: Frequent contact with Tier 0 (elderly in care) and/or high risk of complications (anyone in a hospital setting for an extended duration).

+++ My tier 2 seems to differ from public health models, at least that I've seen. My logical basis is to break transmission vectors. +++

Tier 2: Those who can't social distance well; essential workers with contact. This group should include anyone in unavoidable public service positions of any sort. E.G. (but not exhaustive): Teachers, grocery store workers, restaurant workers, chefs, warehouse and delivery workers.

Tier 3: High risk but CAN social distance and isolate.

Tier 4: Everyone else; possibly stratified by some score of age, prior medical conditions / risk factors, etc.
There is no scientifically plausible way for there to be long term side effects. RNA is critical to life, so if there were long term side effects life itself wouldn't even be possible.
I wonder why not cover younger people with the GSK version and older people with some other vaccine?

It's actually pretty decent on mobile IMO. Pinch and zoom is easy to do, atleast on the iPhone. Then you just scroll naturally. The entire page doesn't move on you.

I agree with you in general, its not great on mobile, but it's not terrible. Far better than hamburger menu'ed UI that I see in the wild that seems to show 1 card at a time and hijacks the scroll mechanism.

A lot of "Not designed for mobile" fear stems from early days of smartphones in 2010-era which still lingers today. Things have changed. Screens have gotten much better in resolution, responsiveness has improved and touch experience on modern phones is exceptional.

20/20 hindsight. And Moderna's candidate was designed by January 13th, a weekend after the first sequences from China were uploaded to Western databases, but before we knew we'd even need it.

You should learn more about the whole process; did you know everyone has to wait two weeks for sterility testing of finished vaccines? What's entailed in Phase I, II and III trials? That the latter tend to cost a billion dollars plus or minus, and take months? How very long the FDA takes to decide things, three weeks for Pfizer/BioNTech.

More money is not the solution to every technical problem!!! I would think those of us who hang out on Hacker News would be intimately aware of this.
