I am cautiously optimistic that this issue (which seems to have drawn “outrage” from both sides of the political spectrum) will spur some change with respect to contracts of adhesion that force arbitration and prohibit class action suits. It’s nearly impossible to hold a corporation accountable for wide-spread anticonsumer behavior in any meaningful way so long as they can tuck those two paragraphs into a massive contract most people don’t read and even fewer will understand.

A surprising number of features exist in OSX to make it comfortable for people used to Unix-like OSes. It's a shame Apple is so poorly behaved, I'd think about buying a personal mac if it weren't for that.

Their terminal app will simulate a selection buffer for you (although it doesn't integrate with other apps which is why I end up pasting garbage into my terminal almost every time I clone something from github) and can optionally simulate pointer style focus like many X11 window managers do.

Every text widget in Cocoa seems to use Emacs-style GNU readline shortcuts. Something I didn't notice until recently.

Xquartz isn't dead, and interestingly Xlib has outlasted quickdraw and carbon, their own drawing APIs.
But Ctrl+C to Copy is the broken part, so I do not want it! :)

Ctrl+C is a signal to the running application inside the terminal, and should be passed without interference by the terminal emulator.

If by that you mean "doing things the reasonable way and not needing to offer workarounds for their failures", then we are in complete agreement. :)

I want OneModifierKeyButNotCtrl+C to Copy in all GUI applications including terminal emulators. I would settle for SomeModifierKeyCombinationNotCtrlAlone+C to Copy in all GUI applications including terminal emulators.

I don't know if Microsoft offers that, but Linux does not. Copy/paste between a web browser and a terminal window is an exercise in frustration.

In Physics the 2 giant contributions from the XX century (Quantum Mechanics and General Relativity) were developed in Europe.

In Mathematics the big highlights of the XX century: the Hilbert Program, the Bourbaki group, computability,the FLT solution were mainly made outside the US.

First satellite? First man in space? USSR

Europe was a big contributor to the first computers: Colossus, Zuse's Z2.

The Germans were pioneers in rocketry and ballistics as it is sadly very well known by the rest of the work.

In Biology: Watson, Crick, Monod,Ian Wilmut,Maynar-Smith made fantastic and foundational contributions

Medicine? Antibiotics,discovery of tetanus vaccine, immunological agents, vitamins, all made outside of the US.

That's not to say that American has not make fantastic contributions, The Apollo program, the invention of the transistor, the invention of the Internet are highlights of American ingenuity and glorious gifts to the rest of the world.

But pretending that all good science is made only in the US and the rest of the world in some sort of scientific backwater is just a sad indictment of the American educational system that formed you.

> Not to mention tons of misinformation claiming that GameStop is actually a successful and valuable business.

I'm an outsider to both the investing world and this whole WSB thing, but just from following the story I've gotten the opposite impression. The general sense I get from the WSB community is more like "GME is a garbage stock, you should buy it and some of these other worthless stocks too!" Might still be a crime, but it's not really misleading IMO.

Generally speaking, a seller of naked puts is looking to supplement income via a stock they are willing to own at a lower level. If you are not willing to take delivery, it is probably better to sell a vertical spread so that there is a built in stop out. Here I'm speaking of transactions of a reasonable premium amount, not 5 or 10 cents.

While it is true that the upside is unlimited against a naked call (and the downside is 0 on a naked put), naked puts suffer from systemic risk that calls for all intents do not. Both are subject to news/events specific to the company in question, but the risk of the short call running away from you because the market had a +20% day are well, fleeting. On the other hand, unexpected economic news, politcal/military events, liquidity issues, etc can tank the entire market 10, 20, 30% and have numerous times. A rise of similar magnitude, to my knowledge, has only happened after market crashes (so you would then be alert to the upside risk).
That was fun to read, thank you. There are obvious limitation to the approach, as stated by the author, but it was an interesting experiment.
You shouldn't be able to sell yourself into slavery.

Putting minimum standards you can't opt out of is the only way to maintain basic right in the face of inevitably growing asymmetry that is the inevitable outcome of even a small amount of initial inequality. Having a slightly higher share of current resources makes it possible to tilt the board to obtain a larger share of future resources until an increasingly small portion owns more and more.

Ultimately slavery would be the alternative for starvation.
At least some of this document is based on much older versions of QUIC. In particular it mentions RST_STREAM which went away by the end of 2018 in favour of RESET_STREAM.

In fact it's possible it isn't even talking about the proposed IETF protocol QUIC at all, but instead Google's QUIC ("gQUIC" in modern parlance) in which case this might as well be a paper saying the iPhone is vulnerable to an attack but it turns out it means a 1980s device named "iPhone" not the Apple product.

It certainly references a bunch of gQUIC papers, which could mean that's blind references from a hasty Google search by researchers who don't read their own references - but equally could mean they really did do this work on gQUIC.

> Jobs are also paid according to the danger they pose

Only because it's a function of limiting supply (of willing labor). High danger means fewer people willing to do it, which means it pays more to attract willing candidates.

If there are still a ton of willing candidates, you don't get paid extra because you think it's dangerous work.
> Ya, they can be very similar, but as with a lot of legal aspects, intent matters (but is still hard to prove).

It is so hard to prove that it becomes practically impossible in most cases, which leads to legislation that can choose when to strike and when not, leading to further concentration of unassailable power in regulating entities.
My understanding is that the term “lining” refers to numbers with the same height, (which is also common and appreciated in data tables!) and that “tabular” refers to numbers with the same width, so not quite the same thing: https://creativepro.com/typetalk-know-your-figures/
There is no need to send checks to people unless it’s required for keeping records or purposes beyond money transfer.

Ask HN: Where to start for hobby circuit design
I'm a software engineer with basic experience in EE (ohm's law, simple Arduino projects, etc.) I've set out a goal to make a nixie tube clock from scratch, and I want to design the driver circuit from first principles with a solid understand of what I'm doing rather than adapting something someone else has made. I'm starting this project primarily as a way to learn circuit design.

There are a million and one guides online but I find they tend to either be too basic or far too advanced. Can anyone recommend some thorough learning resources? Hardcopy books are a bonus.

Thanks in advance!

Robinhood won’t go out of business because of lawsuits, it’ll be an exodus of users.

Even if they just weren’t prepared and everything they did was legitimately the right thing to do, that ship has sailed. I know people I didn’t even know had a Robinhood account ask me if I was shutting my account down too.

This will be fascinating to watch. Can the repair the brand damage? I’m skeptical.

Is there any similar scenario that has occurred at another brokerage firm in the past that might leave clues to examine to understand potential user actions here?
Re: No fault divorce:

The concept of marriage in a tradition-based society like India has a completely different meaning than "let's voluntarily have a contract, and we can break it off any time we feel like it."

In order to protect the sanctity of marriage (straight or gay, I support both), the government must resist calls to make it easy to divorce. Divorce must be a painful, punishing process if society is to continue to take marriage seriously. (It must nevertheless be possible for either party in the marriage to initiate a divorce to completion. That's non-negotiable.)

Just my view on this subject. And I accept that others with different experiences than mine may have different views.

I wouldn't discount the extent to which a Linux distro might tweak some config files and optional dependencies.

An example: when I started using freebsd on a laptop the fonts were pretty crappy relative to Linux. The code for Xorg, freetype etc. were identical in both places. I spent some time editing config files and it looked decent again. I assume my debian setup just had better defaults.

The problem is that you measured energy usage for appliances that have non-discretionary use - ie. I don't get to decide when my fridge or HVAC turns on, that's a factor of the weather outside (for the most part...). Also, since fridges and HVAC fans run continuously, you end up with an averaged out price for energy.

Laundry energy use can't be amortized like a fridge can. They use an extreme amount of energy in short bursts. If you time your laundry incorrectly in a TOU setting, you absolutely will have a larger energy bill. I know this because I've been burned by it. 9c/kwH (low TOU) vs. 14c (high) is more than a 50% price increase for a load of laundry.

While open[1] is documented for macOS to be able to return EINTR, the documentation for sigaction[2] seems to specify (in confusing wording) that setting SA_RESTART prevents that. It seems to me like a bug in macOS, since they're going against their own documentation.

[1]: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Sy...

[2]: https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/Sy...

specifically:

> If a signal is caught during the system calls listed below, the call may
be forced to terminate with the error EINTR, the call may return with a
data transfer shorter than requested, or the call may be restarted.
Restart of pending calls is requested by setting the SA_RESTART bit in
sa_flags. The affected system calls include open(2), read(2), write(2),
sendto(2), recvfrom(2), sendmsg(2) and recvmsg(2) on a communications
channel or a slow device (such as a terminal, but not a regular file) and
during a wait(2) or ioctl(2). However, calls that have already committed
are not restarted, but instead return a partial success (for example, a
short read count).
This is an idea that spins in my head regularly since around the iphone 5 say.

Users will soon be able to access Scena 360 on their VR headsets by either opening https://app.scena360.com in their VR web browser (e.g. Oculus Browser) and then clicking the "Enter VR-mode" button to enter a fully immersive experience (turn head to look around, wave with virtual hands, etc.). The VR users would be able to interact with the desktop/laptop users (meet in the same room).
This is a pedantically pointless argument. In the domain of logic, 'sound' has a very definite meaning, so what are we to make of your use of the word 'sound' in a discussion of logic, especially given that you explicitly qualify it with 'logical'? What is the point of phrasing a statement in such a way that it will mislead everyone except those who can see what you actually meant? Those people already know what you are trying to say.

I have not "taken [your] phrase logically sound and then switched to sound arguments". What I did, in the clause "sound arguments have true conclusions", was to make a statement of fact about the meaning of the word 'sound' in the domain of logic. On account of that being so, it would have been unequivocally wrong for you to have written "An argument can be sound but with a false conclusion."

Ah, but you say (this is where it gets really pedantic) you did not write precisely that; you wrote "An argument can be logically sound but with a false conclusion" - but how do you think the modifier logically will be taken here, given that 'sound' has a specific meaning in the domain of logic? Don't tell us that (obviously!) 'logically sound' actually means 'valid'!

This strategy seems to make a lot of sense to me, so I just checked out the performance of UPRO over the last 5 years versus SPY (^GSPC).

UPRO is up 426% (wow) $17.37-$74.01

and

^GSPC is up 192% (talk about a bull run) $1932-$3714

So with UPRO you would have had an average profit of 65.2% per year, and with SPY 18.4% per year. That's even better than x3 returns.

Plus you'd have the bond returns. Interesting idea.
"It will be hard to prove users suffered as a result of Robinhood’s measures because GameStop and other stocks covered by the curbs fell sharply on Thursday after the restrictions were announced, said James Cox, a professor at Duke Law School."

Wait, what? Can anyone legitimately make the claim that the massive drop in value that cut off the price rise at the knees and allowed the worst short positions to cover their losses sub-$200 didn't materially harm the users? This is absolute madness.
Forced arbitration has always felt grossly unfair, but for the sake of argument, I'll consider the contrapositive. A company that is in a highly litigious industry may feel that lawsuits would eat up valuable time and resources, and that those lawsuits are not always filed in good faith. Perhaps the industry or subject matter is complex, and not easily understood by juries, courts, etc. From a business perspective forced arbitration makes perfect sense: It limits exposure, limits judgement amounts, and perhaps is more predictable than trials.

All that sounds good from the business perspective, but my problem has always been that the outcomes seem tilted grossly in favor of the company. Like Human Resources, it's there for the company, not the employee/consumer, and its the companies that have to pay for the arbitration. Banning them does not seem like a long term solution, although I support it, so I'm curious what alternatives may exist that could accomplish both.
Bond film delays are reportedly causing product placement havoc for brands
I'm imagining YouTube (or maybe even HN) comments becoming dominated by stories of harm supposed people have supposedly experienced. There's no way to tell if a person you're interacting with in these kinds of contexts has actually experienced the harm they claim or if it's just being used to manipulate. So I'd agree that in the case of internet forums I'm not entirely sure this is a step in the right direction. For person-to-person, face-to-face interactions IRL it would be a different story as you could rely on non-verbal cues to help determine validity and you might have a history of relationship with the person you're interacting with.
IMO: nothing on the app store is private.

You MUST use apps built by someone else on the App Store and it's almost impossible to pull them apart on your own to check if they use libraries from eg. Facebook.

The whole App Store model extremely anti privacy. I think community maintained package repos like what you see on Linux distributions convinced people that this sort of thing would be an improvement, but what made package repos great was the community, the centralization was only a convenience.
