"To test for asymptomatic infections, participants in COV002 in the UK were asked to provide a weekly self-administered nose and throat swab for NAAT testing from 1 week after first vaccination using kits provided by the UK Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC)"

Moderna:

https://www.nih.gov/news-events/news-releases/phase-3-clinic...
"Investigators will closely monitor participant safety. They will call participants after each vaccination to discuss any symptoms and will provide participants with a diary to record symptoms and a thermometer for temperature readings. If a participant is suspected to have COVID-19, the participant will be asked to provide a nasal swab for testing within 72 hours."

"although our trial showed that mRNA-1273 reduces the incidence of symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection, the data were not sufficient to assess asymptomatic infection, although our results from a preliminary exploratory analysis suggest that some degree of prevention may be afforded after the first dose"

Pfizer:

https://www.sciencemediacentre.org/expert-reaction-to-phase-...
"The Pfizer study did not report studies of the impact of its vaccine on asymptomatic infection. The Oxford study reported that efficacy for “asymptomatic or symptoms unknown infection” based on weekly self-swabbing was 3·8% (−72·4 to 46·3%) following standard dose and 58·9% (95% CI 1·0 to 82·9) following low dose regimen."

https://www.nejm.org/doi/10.1056/NEJMoa2034577
"These data do not address whether vaccination prevents asymptomatic infection; a serologic end point that can detect a history of infection regardless of whether symptoms were present (SARS-CoV-2 N-binding antibody) will be reported later"

I think the idea is you can build from source on any file system or drive and get the same results. By adding artificial purposeful nondeterminism you can fix your builds to account for unintentional natural nondeterminism.
Wasn't LTCM blowing up a pretty big deal?

PHP does no such thing. There is one array type with one behaviour. There is no distinction between different kinds of arrays in the language.

Trying to figure out the "fundamental" value of anything is a fools errand. Im not saying GME wont drop eventually but there is no value on fundamentals of everything.

Look at all the short-sellers of TSLA who made the same mistake. These companies are valued on what the market decides and we all know "The market is irrational".
This is actually a feature I wish the KDE guys would bring back.
This article focuses on IOPS and throughput, but what is also important for many applications is I/O latency, which can be measured with ioping (apt-get install ioping). Unfortunately, even 10x PCIe 4.0 NVMe do not provide any better latency than a single NVMe drive. If you are constrained by disk latency then 11M IOPS won't gain you much.
> They fail to identify crimes, and if somehow they failed to fail, the Justice Department fails to deal with them.

There, fixed that for you.
The theory I've seen is that there could be hidden systemic risks here. If GME tanks suddenly, there's some possibility that traders bailing out of their trades will take down Robinhood (who doesn't seem to be very healthy right now), and a major broker collapsing is never gonna be great for the market.

I share your skepticism that it would actually happen this way, but it seems at least somewhat plausible.
But the chemicals used are extremely nasty.

A good lawyer can argue that these people are exercising their first amendment right of free speech. They are not reporting false data and most of these people commenting have "average" net worth not millions/billions.

Its also very hard to prove to a jury that a message from such an average joe on a message board is enough to form a "scheme" with million other readers on wsb.
A Honda CRF125F is MSRP $3200 which means invoice is below $3000.

That would be huge if true.
I think the huge risk is that it takes days or weeks to travel between ports thus giving the virus time to incubate and show itself unlike flyers. We can't have people who mostly aren't a threat causing problems!

Seriously these people present less of a threat than jet travel but they are decidedly blue collar. Maybe that's the distinction?
Hedge funds only represent 5%< of the global financial markets. Everyone knows whales are playing on both sides, WSB attempting to profit on one end.

However, that 5%< of finance is just objectively morally bankrupt compared to the rest - because its exclusive, delivers no value to society, yet bears a significant influence to everyone else.

So sure, it's not really "poor vs wealthy" it's more "good vs evil".
I am by no means an expert, and have a disdain for short sellers, but I will say this: having watched the "Dirty Money" on Valeance where it appeared that shorts were the first to sniff out the fuckery, I believe we'd need some very strong regulation in place to cover cases like that, which really we should have anyways.

If you're a true "free market" believer, you will probably hold the belief that short-sellers are a part of the "built-in regulation" of the invisible hand. At least that's how I understand the argument.

Really, the biggest problem is that shorts have a vested interest in tearing a company down, be it through tricks like FUD, short ladders or just outright market manipulation. If they're just trying to make sure a stock is not overvalued, fine. If they start trying to kneecap thriving businesses through shady tactics, who does that serve other than the short seller?
Safari 14 only supports webp in Big Sur. If you want that "update" you have to upgrade OSX. Sometimes it's version number, sometimes like in this case it's just the feature.

From a browser compatibility perspective though it's not much different. We are waiting on lagging support for certain browser features because Apple is gating them behind OSX upgrades.
Trust the plan, as it were. Where they go one, they go all. It's really eerie, the overlap between the worldviews.
Limit sell orders with this kind of volatility is not as safe as you might think. Just because you set a sell limit does not mean your trades will execute at that price.
The goal is to ensure that builds can be deterministic despite non-determinism.

Once such criterion is enforced, then everybody can reproduce the build with that set of source files and build instructions, without requiring a special environment that forces a specific order of events.
It’s going to be part of the testing suite. The packages should be able to build exactly the same even in a hostile environment. You want the environment “outside” your build system to be as chaotic as possible so you know there aren’t any accidental dependencies you don’t catch.
That's what makes it an infinite short. Short makes complete sense every dollar it goes up it makes more sense. Timing it is one hell of a dice roll.
Apple is not blocking tracking, though. Apple is putting the decision in the hands of the user.
My hunch is that the EU knew this all along and were vague on purpose to kick the issue down the road.
> Why is this such a big deal?

Speculation is that it's not your "average" hedge fund bust, but that brokers accepted too much shorts/options without securing shares and some of them might go out as well trying to find shares to cover calls

Sorry to misuse this for asking a slightly unrelated question. There may be people with knowledge of the ZX81 reading now, so here we go: I remember vaguely that on the ZX81 if you pressed a key too hard, the computer would perform a hard reset. I am pretty sure that this was how my friend's ZX81 behaved, but I would like to know if this was only on his computer or if this was a general problem with the ZX81. Does anybody know?
ciso8601 is blazingly fast, and also its wall time is very stable. By all means, use ciso8601 if the format allows :)

On my machine, ciso8601 always runs in 240ns, and the Rust lib median time is 1250ns.

You can run a benchcmark too! Just call pytest, and it will generate an .svg report: https://github.com/gukoff/dtparse/blob/master/tests/test_per...

What is a "severe chest X-ray"? This story was debated on Twitter[1].

I agree with the (unforgiving) statements put there.

So, the odd thing about this article is that it opens with the experience of the University of Illinois, but doesn't tell anything about that after September. In fact, they kept with their rapid-and-frequent-testing program, and while the rest of the state was going through an enormous spike in cases (about an order of magnitude higher than in Sept: https://www.rosshartshorn.net/stuffrossthinksabout/covid_stu...), the frequency on campus was flat. The initial spike on campmus lasted about two weeks, whereas the big spike in the rest of the state lasted through Dec and Jan and still isn't back down to where it was in Sept.

It's an odd way to write the story, to use that as your example of a failure, when it turned out to be a rare case of successfully keeping the lid on when the state around you is rocketing upwards. It makes me wonder if the journalist in question even did enough research to find out that was the case?
While Jobs and Brin had middle-class upbringings, Musk's father was quite wealthy: he had a large and successful engineering business (South Africa's equivalent of Tutor-Perini, the multi-billion dollar construction company that built the ports of LA and Long Beach and much of its metro system among other projects) and was a millionaire before he was 30.

They found that paid (i.e., ads) and unpaid traffic were nearly perfect substitutes for brand names: people will either to get to eBay. For non-brands, clicks go down, but sales don’t; ads are mostly attracting “browsers”, rather than buyers.

The real answer is that it probably depends a lot on the industry, market, and individual business.

About $13.8 million he’s got out of the stock to be exact, if reports elsewhere in the thread are correct. This shows how ability to influence large numbers of people can convert to money, and the closer you are to the root the bigger slice of the cake you get.
to be blunt: after the past few days I don't think anyone in the UK gives a damn about the relationship with the EU

talk about a unifying force
Yeah, hence me specifying Germany.

I know, it's kinda sad, tbh. Get yourself a taste of SEPA to see what you could have/use instead of ACH.

Nice to hear. And yeah, that's why I mentioned needing to call ahead to make sure that someone who can legally sign the contract is gonna be there and has sufficient understanding of how these certified checks look like/work.

Fair. Is that only for new cars, or does that include (independent) used car dealerships?
> But don't assume people hold for any reason other than making money

This is true for every market participant, the fun situation here is that the short squeezers know that what they are doing is risky, but they don't care, because it's fun to take risks, and anyways they have better chances than buying lottery or going to casino.
> The overall market is stressed, things are getting weird and I would not be surprised if this is the beginning of another stock market crash.

GME short interest was still greater 100% of shares outstanding as of 1pm 1/29 (S3 Shortsight numbers). If forced to cover, short holders will have to liquidate other assets. Could those liquidations force more liquidations in a positive feedback loop? Hopefully no, but certainly possible.
It's partially true tho, they provide inferior price than other brokers using Citadel (because their contract apparently gives them a bigger kickback than most other brokers).

In practice price improvement is split between the trader and the broker right, some brokers might do 50/50 while others will be 80/20.
Yeah it's a simple addition to an xmonad config
Erm, no - nothing I just said is about expressive a beef.

It’s just a description of Facebook’s core business.

If Apple does use ‘sweatshops’, which they clearly do to some extent, that is a marginal part of their business, and not part of their business model at all.

Selling Ads is what Facebook gets paid for. Targetting ads is why they can charge a premium for those ads. Keeping users engaged to content is how they reliably deliver a large volume of ads.

This is their business.
So they do. Thanks. :-)
How much time you spend figuring out your system?
Any stock that does not pay dividends _has no fundamentals_. It's just supply / demand.
I think it's not really the UK's fault.

It's AstraZeneca. They are frauds.
Sure they can win here. Their advertisement for Gold literally says "access to margin" on one of its selling points. How is anyone without Gold supposed to read that without mistakenly concluding they don't have margin? That's misleading if not outright deceptive. They can easily "win" by... removing that clause, and (optionally, or not) replacing it with something like "access to margin beyond your portfolio value" or something. It's not that they're already doing things as well as they can and the problem is just too complicated to simplify further. They actively mislead people.

And note that "borrowing money" does not imply "have margin" for people either. They might realize they're borrowing money, but not realize that has further implications they might not expect, like the broker being able to sell your stock without your approval. If they actually use the word "margin", people could at least look up what it means and likely realize it's a nontrivial topic. But just saying we'll make $X available to you makes it so much harder for them to understand there are non-obvious implications.
My guess is putting out content and pumping it up or making it go viral, that somehow promotes clients of yours. Or your own products or affiliate programs or something.
It's more likely that he thought he was nowhere near influential enough to create one on his own. He would previously have had no reason to believe that his public statements would move the market.

There is zero chance of this hypothetical lawsuit (that alleges market manipulation/creating a squeeze using just $50k worth of cash, which is a laughable amount of money when it comes to the market) not getting thrown out of court the instant it lands on the court clerk's desk.

This is all fundamentally a Thomas Hobbes scenario of the masses deciding the "state of nature" no longer suits them and they want to work together

Basically Hobbes said "You might be strong, but someone will always be stronger. It makes sense to band together & agree on a few rules (form a government) so that we're stronger than any individual and we (mostly) won't get punched in the face. Otherwise, life is 'nasty, brutish, and short'"

As long as you're not an anarchist or anarcho-capitalist, this should be pretty fundamental & you agree with it, though sure different people draw the line in different places on how many rules should be made and what they should be about, which is fine, people can disagree on that stuff, that's mostly a different topic.

In the GameStop situation, we have a whole bunch of people saying:

Hey, the state of nature in the investment world is that we're all separate and weak and we get pwned by the big players. Let's band together so we're not as weak.

This is, essentially, what the large institutions are already doing. They're already a collection of people acting together.

Which is what makes this situation so infuriating: I don't particularly like all of the ways that capital markets function, but they should be roughly democratic (small "d")_in terms of access, no separate rules for different groups. A group of people that call themselves "Citibank" or whatever should not retain a privileged position above a looser group that calls themselves "WallStreetBets".

Yes, I understand the concepts behind T+2 and clearing houses calling for more collateral etc: but that's the problem right there. If those mechanisms are resulting in a privileged position for some institutions then it's those mechanisms that are flawed & antithetical to a democratically accessible market

I think people that are trying to justify this by explaining about calls for collateral and so on are completely missing the point: Those mechanisms are creating financial victims of the retail investors who lost their shirts when the price tanked because rule makers decided you were only allowed to sell GME, not buy it.

It's like saying (in possibly too extreme of an example, but I want to illustrate the point) that a murderer killing a cop is justified because if they didn't shoot the cop then they would be executed in the electric chair. That's not how it's supposed to work. Large institutions don't get to (well, I guess they do) shut down part of the market just because they'll lose money if they don't. That's the risk! It's not always a great system, but if anyone knows the rules and goes in eyes-wide-open, it's these institutions. No excuses, no "but but but collateral, T+2" and so on. You don't get to take other people's money (well, again, I guess you do) just because if you don't do it you'll lose a bunch of your own.

This is insane.
Are speculators making money on ipfs? How? This is news to me.
Been waiting on this to be available ever since it was first announced. Finally got an email last year from a paint supplier (Gamblin), and a single 37ml tube is $75... with a limit of 2! I really hope at some point that these 'rare earth' ingredients come down and it can be more readily available / cheaper. I'd seriously paint my roof and my whole house with it to keep it cooler in the summer.
Do yourself a favor and watch the 2015 Turkish movie "Sarmasik" (Ivy). It's about a crew stuck aboard a stranded ship. It's well made and supposedly also a political commentary on Erdogan and other things.
I don't think anybody is denying that what I am talking about is the astrotrufing on reddit with commercial interests and unregulated crypto currency.

My question is what stops somebody pulling off the same trick on WSB and how do we know? How can we know? Does the SEC know how to tell?
I know this forum is capitalist to the core, but there is a lack of appreciation for this moment and an undue air of cynicism.

This whole situation breaks a ton of fundamental assumptions about how markets work and will change hedging strategies for a lot of investors moving forward. Yes, we know there are hedge funds on both sides of this equation (Blackrock owns 12% of Gamestop, Burry made a ton and smartly got out earlier in the week), it doesn't change anything. The internet is already searching for more securities to manipulate. This will accelerate adoption of the DeFi space. Scaramucci called it "the French Revolution of Finance."

Instead of being negative, look to see how you can learn and profit from this.
Looking back at (u/deepfuckingvalue) Keith Gill's comments on r/wsb, it looks like they had a solid theory to cash out by Jan 2021 for $8+ a share (most of their calls starting June 2019 were 80 cents a share or less [0]). This was by no means a strategy to make money by squeezing the short, though one user, conspicuously named u/burrym, speculated that it ought to be [1].

Yeah, but there are a growing number of areas where Chrome and Firefox have nearly identical behavior and Safari is the odd one out. Text overflow ellipsis inheritence handling and sticky elements in a scrolling flex container off the top of my head. But there seems to be lots of those things where it works fine in FF and Chrome but not Safari.

Further, Apple seems to show little interest in improving. About what you'd expect from somebody high on their own market position(dominant on OSX and exclusive on IOS until recently). So, a lot like IE back in the day IMHO.
I'm not going to ask for numbers, but did you make a reasonable income selling this?

The reason I ask is because I've been wondering about why the Mac seems to have a fairly healthy market for small software. It surprises me that Windows, being a much larger market, seems to have fewer opportunities for indie devs.
God! This is such a huge misconception it's concerning that people still need to be this concerned. You don't have to hold back on the mRNA vaccine.

There is no such thing as long term issues that *suddenly appear after months or years". It simply can't happen because they don't have pharmacodynamics and you don't take them that regularly. They are not the same thing as medication.

Long term side effects like after the polio vaccine in the 70s always occur IMMEDIATELY after vaccination. Hours to days, maybe a week. These vaccines are in your body for a short period of time before they produce the spike protein from the mRNA instruction. All effects happen very fast. If you get vaccinated you might feel ill within the day.

So why did we only notice some effects of vaccines much later, for example narcolepsy in swine flu? Answer: it's all statistics. Some side effects have a chance of only 1:60.000 or even much less. Do you know how long it usually takes to vaccinate enough people to find something that occurs only in one out of 60.000 times? The answer is months or years.

But for COVID we have already vaccinated millions of people in multiple countries with multiple political systems and ideologies in power. No serious issues whatsoever. I know people who did get pretty sick for 2-3 days (basically bad cold) from the mRNA vaccine but that's GOOD. They are not infected, it's just a short term immune reaction that will disperse without causing serious harm and it shows the vaccine does what it is designed for: invoke an immune response.

And 2 days of symptoms are much better than 3 weeks with symptoms including hospitalization and long term effects due to an active virus in your body.
