This can only go badly for the EU

No one would write a contract with "binding" delivery dates for fulfilment with anything other than penalty up to the sum of the sum of the contract's value. Furthermore the contract will always stipulate that external and incidental factors in the supply chain security and production process may impact delivery. There will be a clause. You cant force someone to give you something that doesn't exist. The UK paid AZ to protect a specific supply chain and onshore as much of it as possible.

Beyond that , with 80+ vaccines in development on top of existing vaccine production necessarily supply fulfilment was always going to need flexibility. The EU built little contingency into their vaccine strategy. The EU had not even approved the vaccine in question that they want delivery of.

This is childish politics from a bunch of over promoted people who are screaming blue murder when faced with the consequences their own incompetence.

Edit: The contract has been published

> While everyone is celebrating retail traders winning over a large hedge fund in this case, it rarely ever plays out this way. Most commonly, retail ends up losing money when there is excessive speculation.

This is the only passage anyone with too much at stake (than they can afford) in this short needs to read.

Other than that, I believe industry insiders / traders are missing the mark in that the current dynamic is also fueled in part by a million-strong (if not more?) rejecting the fundamentals and pumping cash in to businesses that Wall Street's hive mind has decided has no job being in existence.

AMC made a billion dollars during the rally [0] (and it is not lost on me that this capital would be dumped into parachute payments and bonuses to c-suite and nothing's going to trickle-down). In the off-chance AMC makes the capital work, then, that'd have vindicated retail, but it kind of seems too optimistic but that's the whole point.

YMMV of course - my experience with revolut has been nothing but positive. While I’ve had silly issues with my normal bank (like inability to close an account due to “technical reasons”), interacting with revolut has been stellar.

Customer support, features roll out, chargebacks etc - all way better experience than the local banks.

They singlehandedly forced all the banks in my country to implement apple pay / google wallet. For years nobody bothered, the moment Revolut entered the market, with apple pay support, the banks scrambled to add it themselves.

One time I even had my card stolen while traveling abroad - got a new card within two days, global delivery. I was very pleasantly surprised.

But I also understand the risks and don’t really use them for long term asset management for now. Just as a front for all of my expenses - their analytics are just awesome.
I'm not sure they are. But, if they are wrong, it would likely be because of a handful of things.

*All the below are hypothetical scenarios, I have no specific reason to suspect any of them will or won't happen. This is not financial advice. Trade at your own risk.

1) Hedge funds may have been buying GME alongside WSB. Once the shorts stop out, the funds will know before WSB does. And get out ahead of them. The size of the position suggests this is a possibility.

2) GME management will announce an equity offering. This is arguably the economically/financially correct thing to do. And is also aligned with management's incentives. With more shares in the market, the shorts would no longer be squeezed.

3) GME has become too volatile to easily manage counter-party risk via daily margin posting. This makes options and cash equities much harder to transact. Which is what we saw yday. This could limit the ability of non-professionals to access the market. Killing the squeeze.

4) Robinhood could face solvency (or the perception thereof) issues. This could cause a rush to close out accounts while people still can. Generally, even having to deny you have a liquidity problem is a bad sign.

5) Some truly massive player or a group of them (Citadel and Melvin are only middle size fish) will come in and crush the longs. Gamma works in both directions.

6) The index funds that currently hold the stock will make an exception to their usual rules and sell it because the market is so clearly dislocated. Or alternatively the providers could kick out GME. This would again significantly reduce the squeeze.

7) The regulators will set the stock to liquidation only. The exchanges have the power to do this. And this is the sort of situation that said powers are contemplated for.

So there's quite a bit that could potentially go wrong. And so a good chance that the squeeze participants could lose their investments. Part of the problem is that it isn't clear just how large the short positions really are at this point. While I have zero sympathy for the hedge funds on the other end of this trade, if you live by the sword you die by the sword, the regulators may decide this presents a systemic issue. In which case they're going to shut it down.

Ah, gotcha! Thanks for answering.

I've seen similar situations before. In my case it was mostly due to having a team that is larger than than necessary. Having multiple UI designers with differing opinions, developers that don't question redundancy in UI (or don't have time to check), managers that don't coordinate, and just communication problems in general.

This led to a lot of reimplementation and duplicate code. In the end they changed the frontend framework a couple times, but the issue started creeping up again.
Sorry it wasn't clear, my post was supposed to be a clever commentary on the situation a few weeks ago when twitter/fb/amazon were blatantly banning people and organisations based on political ideology. And people over here were giving this argument in support, but now seem to be outraged.

> It has gotten to the point that these giant corporations are able to influence elections in whatever direction they think is "right", they are able to shut down speech, on what is now a de facto town square, and they are able to deplatform their own competition based on accusations of harbouring "hate speech activists".

I agree 100%. Twitter/FB/Google are too big, they are monopolies. They must be held to a higher standard or be broken up. Either become "public squares" where my freedom is protected or get broken up into 100 different networks.
Then, going by the WSB vernacular, "The Squeeze That Squoze".
There is a buyer: the shorters are desperately trying to close their positions (i.e. buying), and they are not buying through RobinHood.w

But in a more normal position, if there is not buyers at current offering prices, you try to sell at a lower price. Thus, the price drops.

I don’t understand how all of a sudden the shift was made onto the insolvency of RH and that the discussion is less about the original conditions that led up to this.

I just finished watching a video from Louis Rossmann [1] as well as one from Bruce Fenton [2]. In his video, Rossmann covers the technicalities and systems behind actually __making__ a trade with an app like RH. The videos were very informative and I learned quite a lot.

With the exception of his recent interviews, it isn’t exactly clear what Robinhood was supposed to do differently. If my understanding is correct, clearing houses required more money up front to perform trades - RH didn’t have it so they stopped the trades unidirectionally. People got upset that they couldn’t buy but could sell which made it seem like RH wanted to manipulate the price - but isn’t it better than the alternative, the inability to both sell and buy would seem to me worse than what was done. Imagine them closing both and preventing people from selling if a crash occurs. The discussion would simply be « Robinhood stole our gains and wouldn’t let us move our funds ».

Now, should it be the case that more money is required up front, intuitively it makes sense, I mean, who is supposed to front the bill on those 5000% returns? The hedge fund that just went bankrupt? Where exactly does this money come from?

Isn’t RH just trying to play within the realities of the current system?

Genuinely curious.

Turbo Pascal: A Great Choice for Programming Under CP/M (2013)
Yeah, I'm saying that you shouldn't have to think of such things like URL mapping. What if now all of sudden you want to post json as a filter? You will have to start thinking of new arbitrary ways to handle this query etc. You have to both parse this new deep nested filter you thought of in backend and also you have to stringify it in the frontend. You add so much extra overhead to try to convert the query into some form of string URI that would adhere to URL rules.

Let's say you now want to add a filter for frontend where you can choose multiple dynamic fields and their conditions can be either greater than, equal, or IN some values, I think you get the gist.

You then will have to do it something like that tasks?status=in:todo,progress

Or status=todo&status=done
But then you suddenly need greaterThan query. Are you going to do tasks?priority=gt:5 for example?

Or things like that. And you have to worry if this even adheres to URL standards. Things eventually get so messy. And you are very constrained in everything you do.

And how do you typecheck all of that? Also all of this is just error prune, you have to write documentation for it and every REST api is a little bit different, people often mess up when naming the urls etc.

My impression is that even on a desktop computer which is highly modulable, after 5/10 years you have to throw away everything but the case and maybe the power supply. New CPUs won't have the right socket for your mothercard, the RAM will need to be DDR(n+1), same for the PCIe port.
No, but what should be unequivalently true is:

* Longer distances with more variance in connection quality degrades meetings and shared whiteboarding

* Timezones can destroy productivity if you let them, and need managing to not be a hindrance. If you want to run a complicated bit of SQL past a DB admin first, but your DB admin is 5 hours ahead of you and finished work already, you pay the cost of context switching and picking it up again tomorrow.

* Even if everyone speaks English, having a dozen different dialects and accents in one meeting doesn't help with comprehension, even moreso on dodgy connections.

* Cultural differences can be managed, but if you've got people from half a dozen different cultures on your team, you're gonna hit differences, some very difficult to surmount. And this is magnified with the lack of body-language communication you'd get in person.

We saw the same in London after the 2012 riots. Instead of stopping the rioting and looting the police let it go on and then took all the cctv and arrested the perpetrators after the event.

It’s lazy policing, hundreds of shops got damaged and looted simply because for whatever reason the police wouldn’t do what people want them to do. Stop people committing crime at the time.
Fair point regarding the difference between phone conversations and textual forum/group discussions.

However - I disagree with your bottom line. Perhaps on the level of the _individual_ forum/channel/board you may be right. But not on the level of the _platform_. Specific forums/spaces/channels etc. which collapse - collapse, that's a problem for their founders and members.

In that respect, I'll make a different analogy: Mailing lists and newsgroups. Also not a perfect analogy, but - a mailing list or NNTP server does not have to police anything, but individual lists often need to set up some sort of moderation to avoid collapse into flame-wars etc.

So you can't avoid the use of force here, the question is the amount of force being used, and whether it is commensurate to the specific event it is being used to mitigate.

> I visited this place when I was in Turkey.

I follow the work of Graham Hancock quite closely but how did the artwork appear to you? The need for the specialized tools to bore the holes or mae those 3d outward busts on stone are incredibly advanced and the accuracy of these depictions of animals and peoples seen on stone predates what most archaeologists place Agriculture at ~10,000 years ago, which coincidentally is also in this part of Turkey. Most tools from nomadic people before the advent of Agriculture were likely for hunting, and cutting meat or building fires and clothes, not precision based specialized tools so this site opens the door to the notion that very specialized tools being used prior to this period for ornamental or sacred purposes in Human History was already common practice.

Personally speaking, after having done agriculture myself, I think agriculture its closer to 20-30,000 years old and sites like this and the one in Indonesia re-enforce my hypothesis as you cannot make these monoliths without several generations of a very well refined work force that requires specialization and surpluses of food and water only possible due to a systematic application of horticulture and domestication of livestock.

What were your biggest takeaways, and how much would you say is still left to unearth?

It is my understanding most of it is still underground and other sites have yet to be even approved or greenlit for excavation due to political and warfare issues, was that still the case when you were there?

To be honest, it doesn't really matter. This isn't about whether Robinhood technically must or must not do what they're doing, but that the system is setup in such a way that all these claims of "supporting the people" are fundamentally 100% bullshit.

Robinhood tanked their credibility by letting the mask slip and people are on that like hyenas because of the irony. Really though, the focus on them is a distraction from the much larger slip by the entire financial system.

I think there's a difference in objectives and motivations of the providers and its users. It is this difference is what poisons their relationship, UX included. Why would service providers not play underhandedly (like with dark patterns) when there's immediate value for them in it, and no real negative consequence? Their goodwill would cost them money directly. Sometimes they even _have to_ play like that, otherwise competitors will squeeze them out of the game altogether. And it's not like users in general are any better morally.

I think what needs to change is the idealistic view on UX. That service providers manage UX to make the user experience better for the users. I think what happens is that they do just that, but not in a way that will hurt the health of the business. And in the meantime, they will do everything that they can get away with.

'Fundamentals' and all that is a bs excuse used to scapegoat driving stocks they or their friends don't like to the ground.

Let me ask this.

How in the world can an 'analyst' know more about tech than the people that work all their lives in bleeding edge research and technology?

They don't. They don't know more than Jim Keller whose primary task was development of Zen architecture at AMD - which traded at $5 before he joined and until after he was done.

Why do I mention Jim Keller? Because a certain class of people can not only turn around a company, but whole industries even if only due to being famous and drawing unknown talents.

In the case of TSLA; Andrej Karpathy leads the AI division.

My argument is that 'analysts' know nothing of tech and they are in no position to act as the judges.

Also possibly the difference in sheer volume of content and people. It's much easier to moderate when you have at most a few dozen people discussing a given topic. HN is dealing with thousands of people who sometimes, during really heated discussions like the GameStop ones, post literally at the same time and make more content than a single moderator or even a team of moderators is capable of reviewing, even with community help in form of reports or flags.
