Does California build extra infrastructure during summer and tears it down during winter, or why would the grid be unable to manage summer's peak demand during winter?
Everyone who has been on WSB for more than a week perfectly understands that it is a gamble and you can lose it all.

Also, vast majority of WSB users (at least up to the last few days) are buying GME not to profit (according to their own words).

And all these events obviously will leave a large mark on stock market and probably introduce some new regulations which is a good thing.

I have mixed feelings on this. I go back and forth on whether I agree or disagree.

For example, once an application becomes sufficiently complex, I've found ORM's to be more of a hindrance. The abstraction gets leaky and I end up having to tune custom queries to get around some pathological edge case.

That said - most of my experience is with Rails and a lot of the implicit nature of it is problematic. On the other hand, I've not had this experience with Laravel.

Which one is right? I dunno. Lately though, writing sizable web applications in Golang is working out well so I guess I'll keep doing that.
Unless 30% of your traffic is AMP, your browser gets a demerit.
Setting the bar at legality is what got us here. When it comes to the relationship between government and business how about what’s ethical and right for the majority of Americans instead of just what’s legal.

I'm not sure whether you're talking about the "official" Microsoft D3D libs here, but I very much doubt that'll ever happen. They don't like dependencies they can't control. The Excel team used to maintain their own compiler because they didn't want to be dependent on the Visual C++ team who worked in the same building.

Same with Apple and Metal.
She's still a house representative, being known at all is a massive first step in such a large body.

She's also just survived her first election as an incumbent. Two years in the house as a freshman with a Senate and president that would block everything anyway is not a time scale where you can reasonably expect to have massive legislation passed.
In the wake of an unprecedented attack on the core institutions of a democracy; forums and websites that were being used to plot violence against lawmakers are discovering that all available sources of pressure on them to change their behavior are being exercised?

They don't even have to be overtly corrupt to favor people who give them gifts. Reciprocity is such an inborn part of human nature that I'd believe they could have nothing but the best intentions and still become severely biased.
Stock trading kind of skyrocketed in the late 1960s. It got to the point where the NYSE had to close on Wednesdays just to catch up with the all the trading paperwork from Monday and Tuesday (Thursday and Friday was handled over the weekend). This led to brokerages buying computers to start to manage everything, just in time for trading volume to crash around 1970 and brokerages going bankrupt left and right because of all the computer investments they made.

Would you be surprised to learn that the exchanges switched to using dollars and cents for quotes and trades only in the 1990s? Prior to that it was dollars and fractions of a dollar (like 1/8, 1/32, etc). Strangely enough, all the fractions used were powers of two and thus could be represented exactly in binary. Now that we use dollars and cents, you don’t get IEEE754 floating point representations for all trades. Progress!

The good news is it's done. She doesn't owe Citadel any favors. It's not legally considered a conflict of interest (as far as I know; not a lawyer)

It is also typically considered a good thing when public servants are financially stable as it makes them less susceptible to influence.
An organization dumb and bloated enough to pay $44M for a website (even one that works) is probably wasting more than half of its budget.
Unrelated but why does this website not have video quality options? I watch videos at 2x and because it's streaming at 1080p (or more) it's buffering repeatedly, even when I select 2x from it's own speed selector.

Sometimes I wonder why YouTube doesn't have more competitors. Then I see why that is the case.
Australia used to have this thing called “earth hour” where they encouraged you to turn off your lights for an hour. Not sure if it was officially scrapped or if no one cared anymore after lights become extremely efficient.
Does anybody know what the rationale is behind companies paying these crazy sums to speakers? At first look it looks like a bribe to get better connections and treatment from people in or close to political power but is there a more charitable explanation? Does such a speech give deep insight that's worth the money?

My company sometimes has reasonably famous keynote speakers and I find these speeches either entertaining or boring but they never seem to produce much value. But I am just an engineer. Maybe business guys get more out of it?
Do you have a source on the Mach-E history?

I'm not a constitutional scholar but I think it would be absurd to claim that president is "above the law". Why? Because the president only gets his or her powers from the law, the constitution.

If president would be above the law it would mean that the constitution does not apply to him or her. And if so then anything the constitution says about him or her could not apply to him or her, because s/he would be "above it".

So you can not claim that on one hand president has some powers because the constitution says so, and then claim that s/he does not have to abide by the constitutional law because .. s/he is above the law.

So, here is one problem I have.

One person says, 'Look they're corrupt, they're taking money from someone they need to regulate'. Then...when someone from their identity politics does it, it's 'no big deal'. They somehow 'earned it'.

This type of tribal behavior is a poison to society.
This. It didn't just impact RH users, it impacted the stock price as a whole. Anybody who was holding the stock should be able to join the class action.
In the early 2000s I went to “the south” for the first time, and on the news there was a story about a suspicious hanging of a black man ruled suicide, but his hands were tied behind his back and was dating the sheriff’s white daughter.

Found out a decade later that story never happened, and it was a big enough deal for it to be in the list of urban legends and a controversy of how the news decided to report it at the time.

We have been dealing with (3) for a very long time. We dont even know what’s polluted our minds as truth.

Reality almost never matches with your worst fears, reality is typically different and strange. You should be very skeptical if it matched your worst fears no matter what the source.
"Human societies must have a free road to organize themselves and grow in a organic way."

> Pure capitalism (anarchy) is just people exchanging things via barter.

Anarchy and capitalism are two extremely different things, and also there are methods of free association (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_association_(Marxism_and_...) that allow for distributed production without any centralization OR private ownership of production/profit-driven exchange.

Granted, we're far off from these things probably, but capitalism is turning out to be a steaming pile of shit so it's good to think about what comes after without turning into a centrally-planned hell hole.
No, it was CGI Federal (mentioned in the article)
It's not quite the same, but how do you feel about Datalog or Prolog? Having a set of facts and being able to make arbitrary relations in them makes for some interesting programming. Especially if you limit your data to a more rigid normal form like RDF tuples. Datafun is also a cool upcoming language in this space https://github.com/rntz/datafun

I am not redefining fact, but you are trying to reinterpret a personal experience as something it isn't. A personal experience is not an objective accurate fact about the world. There is no such thing. It can only ever be a bias. Just as an example can usually not be the proof of a theorem, just an indication that the theorem might be true.
There was just an article on here last week about how software development is a learning process and programs are just artifacts of that process. Big, old, messy, and highly regulated domains will obviously be hard to learn.
It works even better during long winded meetings specially during video conferencing.
Hold on a second: you see a neutral platform for organising being promoted in a climate where union membership has been eroded, due to both friction and intense politicking; and suggest that white collar workers shouldnt unionise because it's "too cushy"?

How does this work in your mind? Slowly society moves from primary industry, horrible jobs to a different class of labor; and along the way all collective bargaining should be surrended because the capital side of the equation is beneficial and benevolent, all the time?

Its an entirely false division: someone working in a factory a hundred years ago facing being maimed, vs a white collar worker facing sexual harrassment or systemic bullying today are both examples of real harm, and both deserve collective action to protect the worker interests.
We can't know which reviews are truthful. Presumably some are, some aren't. Obviously allowing the business owner to make that determination is dubious.

In most ethics trainings I have taken we are told to avoid taking actions that could lead to the perception of impropriety because the perception of impropriety can be as bad or worse than impropriety itself.

That ethos becomes more important the higher ones station becomes in politics and business.

I am not accusing Yellen of anything improper, however these transactions give circumstantial support to those who may believe she acted or will act in an improper way.
My only concern is that what happens with a mass adoption of both EV and intermittent power sources such as solar and wind. Solar will obviously not be there in the evening when everyone is plugging in their cars after the evening commute home.

Calendly Raises at 43x Multiple at $3B
You’re right, the option gamma squeeze works on the way down (past the strike) as well in accelerating the movement.

It is as if the option seller (who is short gamma) follows a momentum strategy - when price goes up, they buy, when price goes down, they sell.

As for the short squeeze - why would the owner of the shares want them back from the shorters? Well, presumably to sell them.

The conversation would go like this: BlackRock to Melvin: give me my shares back! Melvin: why? B: the Price has gone up to 300! It’s insane! We are a traditional fundamental investor and bought them at at 15. We want to sell them and lock in our profit! M: ok, how about I buy the whole bunch of you, and we call it even? B: done.

All the redditors that hold on to their shares for dear life: what just happened?
It's not even known that Melvin had an unlimited-risk short position. All they disclosed was that they bought $55 million in puts, so for all we know they might've laughed off a 1% loss and are completely unaffected.

Not sure about exact pricing, but maybe they even profited: The volatility on puts has risen to insane levels.
You assert that the groups responsible for the rioting were clearly differentiated from the BLM protests, but I don't see how one can differentiate them without making a no-true-Scotsman argument that the rioting somehow goes against the principles of the movement and they can be distinguished on that basis. At the time, some people were claiming that the rioting was the work of alt-right agents provocateurs, but that doesn't seem to have panned out. (Cf. the assertions that the Capitol rioters were antifa agents provocateurs.)

It's also not a good argument given there were loud voices claiming to speak for BLM that were justifying the rioting and looting. Reparations, smashing the racist capitalist system, etc. Maybe they don't represent the movement as a whole, but if so, the movement had lost its voice to extremists by that point.

An example of this kind of thing, posted by a friend who took part in BLM protests, in response to a status update I made: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EnCI4_9W4AAAxDf.jpg

Bad actors doing embarrassing or destructive things is a real problem for ad-hoc decentralized movements. And that's why I'm careful to not hold the acts of individuals against a movement unless said acts are the whole point of the movement. But at the same time, "Black Lives Matter riots of 2020" is the most accurate label for the events in question that I can think of.
I’m not convinced that’s true. Case in point: tabular data. I don’t think presenting something in a table is an attempt to make it look good, I think it’s the most logical and recognisable way of presenting certain kinds of information. But tables don’t scale well on a mobile viewport without extra work.

To be clear, you are saying you think the los angeles riots were a happier time (the original poster said happier) and that main stream news is not real journalism?
There's absolutely no reason to use JACK to write such a thing. Native audio/MIDI APIs on every platform are a better fit in almost every way.

ps. I wrote JACK (with a lot of excellent help)
I agree with you, but how it this different from large companies that publish their target prices or reports that cause people to buy/sell stock and in the end its the same - those who were in good position before report have gains and those who came later lose money? To me it looks pretty much identical, and that has been around since the very beginning of wall street.
Tongue Rolling: The Myth
No kidding --- the fact that they mentioned it only worked in Chrome is a sad commentary of the state of the Internet and what Google's effective monopoly has lead to.
Divide that number by 3-5, for starters. Charge out rates are multiples of salaries.
A better analogy might be your ISP blocking google.com because of heinous content visible on the search screen. Yeah it would be weird, but I doubt anybody would have a real problem with that happening.
I flagged this post and many others related to India since it seems to attract the level of discourse which doesn't really belong in HN. There's a camps of extremely pro and anti government views that both twist facts to suit their agenda.
They should have funded it using Gamestop stock. Fraction of fraction of its one day gain would have paid for it.
Not OP, but I can pluralize his anecdata. I've had my car for 9 years (~120k miles - sat rarely driven for a couple years in the middle). The only maintenance I've had is oil changes (2 or 3 times a year, so $100 estimate seems accurate), brake pads (once or maybe twice? average annual cost maybe $50), engine air filter (like $10, once or twice a year), tires (similar with electric - cheaper for my car with 15" wheels). The only unexpected maintenance was an electric short in the windshield wiper (could happen just as easily to an electric. $100 labour and a $30 part from a scrap yard)
Yes, I would say you are correct. For small/local businesses a sustainable business which continues to produce a reasonable profit is perfectly acceptable. For publicly traded companies, the expectations are very different and analysts almost don’t care what you’re doing today, as long as the near-future will produce growth.
It's symbolic in the same way that value accrued by trading pet rocks or beanie babies is symbolic -- the fact that someone will pay money, at some particular point in time, for the asset is irrelevant. It is not generative of money returns on its own.

Dividends, like rents generated by real estate, accrue based on the financial performance of the underlying asset. Dividend payout is the only way valuation has any real basis in financial performance of the underlying business.

No dividend = something else is afoot. Most stocks right now are baseball cards.
Yes. While today, the more common meaning of the word is "to introduce immunologically active material (such as an antibody or antigen) into especially in order to treat or prevent a disease", an older but still used meaning is "to introduce a microorganism into".

I don't know if it's just me, but Calendly feels like the perfect company to stay private, continue generating really healthy cashflows, and pay off the founders millions per year. I suppose the company had already raised a round, so they were already stuck in the "hypergrowth at all costs" trajectory, but seems like that kind of multiple for that kind of company is going to be destined for failure. I hope I'm wrong, but am I missing something here?

Honestly, I think its a mistake for Google to reinstate. It sends a message that with enough backlash, you can get your app put back up. It also opens Google up to legal liability for every app that didn't get the same treatment.

They should be confident enough in their first decision, and if not they should just remain silent and not cave to pressure from a bunch of people on the Internet. It's their platform and they can do what they want. If you don't like it you can get a different phone.
This is an interesting resource. I wish I had learned about this before the lockdown.
Well i agree generally, the parent did not make reference to the scarcity of physical property.

I agree with him/her that the enforcement aspect is just an extension of the enforcement rights of regular property. Where i disagree is that intellectual ideas should be owned like physical things in the first place, with the difference being scarcity as you say. Maybe im being pedantic but i feel like its an important distinction to make.

I worked at some government contractor a few years ago and one of the tasks I was given was to oversee the implementation of a ticketing system for a client. The basic requirements were for something slightly better than using an excel spreadsheet with basic search functionality. After a preliminary sales call with one well known vendor, they told us the next steps to implementing this system was to bring a consultant on-site to assess all the ancillary requirements, at a cost of nearly $100k. I had a little laugh about it with some colleges and my manager and I kind of wept a little inside, because I doubt this is a rare occurrence and it only takes 1 incompetent manager to create a massive amount of useless revenue for some vendor.
>>Beef consumption has been forbidden in most Indian states since independence and supported by all political parties.

Only 'Productive Cow(milk yielding)' slaughter was forbidden until recently. Karnataka(Ruled by same party as the center) recently banned all bovine slaughter. Farmers now say they will happily pass on the expenses to take care of unproductive cattle(calves, bulls and older bovines) to consumers in the form of higher priced milk.

Regarding the remaining thing. As a Married Indian muslim who has registered their marriage. All Indian muslims go under special marriage act whose provisions are way way more stricter than the Hindu marriage act. They even send out your application to the local mosques in Bangalore to check if this is a genuine alliance or if the couples have eloped and parents have objections to file. The time given is 45 days. All the best registering a marriage between a Muslim and Hindus.

>>It may forbid triple talaq but other provisions like custody and alimony still apply.

Literally negligible follow triple talaq in Muslim community. In my entire biological and parents biological existence and our entire network of friends and family we don't of a single case of divorce happening this way.

Things like 498a and DV laws apply to all Indian citizens as they are criminal laws.

The reason why people protested against 3T is because even a random stranger could accuse a Muslim man of 3T and the criminal proceedings begin, with arrest and imprisonment of the Muslim man. tl;dr a law created to reign in strong men who wouldn't bow to your political/religious harassment.

>>Protests, crazy ones just like for the CAA.

It's quite a telling about you when you say refusal to walk into concentration camps as crazy.
Sure a couple of us can do it, but lets not forget that the average IQ here is far from represent median of the people out there.
