That license doesn't seem to satisfy the parent's requirements:

> gets me out of any legal responsibility/liability

The license you posted doesn't disclaim any warranties or liabilities. I suggest reading what TFA's "Warranty Disclaimer" section says about UCC defaults. The way I read it (IANAL), you would have more liability with the license you posted than you would under the MIT license.
> It's not the stockholders fault that all these clearing intermediaries use shitty fragile risk models that haven't accounted for rare events

Those risk models were added into the system by law because the prior risk models said that there was no way anything could go wrong so that when things did go wrong during a "rare event," the entire financial system seized up practically overnight.

This time, the only people who are complaining are the people who think they're driving the people shorting Gamestop out of business, while the rest of the financial system and the greater economy looks on in merry amusement.
Not sure about the app store, but: it would be great if GitHub could provide binaries that were guaranteed to be built from a certain commit.
This is anecdata, but I don't think it affects my overnight sleep if my nap is post lunch, although it definitely does if I sleep later in the day, say from 4pm to 6pm. I think there's enough time and mental exertion in the afternoon and evening that I sleep normally overnight. Possibly it's a slightly shorter sleep overnight, but a net increase per day overall, or, at least no shorter overall.
I should probably say "large groups of disparate people". Ethnic homogeneity makes everything easier. American gun laws probably don't help either, but there are non-American cities - Sarajevo, South Africa, much of Europe after the Syrian migration crisis - that struggle with crime too, and there seems to be a correlation there.
How about restic?
thanks for the links. I guess I can't understand that S3 chart at all, because it looks to me like the "SI Shares" have dropped precipitously in the last couple days.
So if I tell a broker to buy $X worth of some stock for me, is what actually happens that the broker buys $X worth of that stock using their money, and then when that has completed a couple days later the broker takes $X from my cash account and transfers the stock to me?
Agree with what you said.

Liking is also a great signal for passion. If we like something, we are more likely to do it for years and then have the passion. I don't think we can choose what we like.

>The biggest problem is Robinhood's poor messaging. It's clear their highest priority was to avoid admission that they were running out of money.

IMO, this is why anyone wanting to "trade seriously" should NOT use Robinhood.

Robinhood is like the fast food of investing. It's designed for convenience, but makes you worse off in the end.

If you want a legit trading platform, then download Thinkorswim, Tastytrade, Schwab, Webull, Etrade, or Fidelity.

Any of the above will tell you way more information than Robinhood, give you significantly better charts, and various extras like News and Level II data for free (at least Thinkorswim does).

Honestly, just look around at the different offerings, maybe give them a test-drive, and choose whatever one suits you. Yes, you will probably have to learn the platforms, but that learning is valuable knowledge.
My perception, born and raised east-bay, is the Oakland has been a lost cause (for murders) since at least 1985. And more than one mayoral candidate has talked up the issue.

But, and this is the terrible part, the murder happens to "the poors". So, IMO,, it's less about racism and more about classism (possibly rooted in racism).

It's similar to how we (usa) don't care too much about the covid deaths. It's like Earthican tradition for disease and pestilence to affect poor folks first/more and for the wealthy to just not see it (they simply look the other way).
I could see GitHub having an App Store, would like to have them as an alternative to Apple, but that is not the optimal solution.

I do not wish for 10 App Store's to exist in the world and have to distribute to each one.

There already is the best platform available, it is called the Web. The problem is Apple purposely holding back PWAs so they can keep earning their Apple Mafia Cut.

I truly belive that for most apps excluding games, PWAs are the way to go. Truly cross platform, low on download speed, and can have almost identical functionality like most of the apps.

That is why I am stocked for Flutter Web, when it gets production ready, it can truly be a game changer.
I am currently forced to make mobile apps, since PWAs are just not that popular nor ideal (Apple problems as I stated above), but I am using Flutter which is honestly fun and the best solution.

Make Apple (and Google, although they already have access on most of it) to their API, that is most notably the ability for PWAs to push notifications.

But Facebook isn’t even doing that. They are optimizing for “engagement”, and for keeping people on the site so they can serve more ads to them.

Just because they are highly effective at this does not mean they serve what we really would like to see.

This is why I stopped browsing Facebook a long time ago. The only reason I have an account still is for people that talk to me on Messenger, and for occasionally checking on upcoming events. Now in the Corona pandemic I haven’t even had a reason to check on upcoming events so I haven’t almost gone onto Facebook at all.

Instagram, which is also owned by Facebook, is doing a better job however, at providing me with content that I am interested in. So even though I dislike Facebook as a company I am actively using Instagram almost daily still.
I've been getting some odd warnings (thousands of them) from CI runs against 1.20, typical:

some-file.py:83: DeprecationWarning: `np.bool` is a
deprecated alias for the builtin `bool`. To silence
this warning, use `bool` by itself. Doing this will
not modify any behavior and is safe. If you specifically
wanted the numpy scalar type, use `np.bool_` here.
Deprecated in NumPy 1.20; for more details and guidance:

But all of the lines mentioned in these warning do not reference np.bool
Yes, you're experiencing burnout. At this point, you've probably also damaged your relationship with the team; perhaps not irreperably but it will take some humility and some hard work if you want to catch back up.

Maybe it's time to look for a different role? You may get a salary cut in the process, you may not, but either way for your mental health it's worthwhile. Maybe you need to move into a role as a product owner, or coordinator, or even get involved with training.

Regardless of what you do, the time is nigh to take control of your life and find yourself a role that you can feel like you're positively able to contribute to without having to do the parts of the work that are causing you anxiety right now.
Robinhood has finite working capital and credit limits.

Mikrotik sells an amazing line of high-speed low power switches, but most of the server gear still draws a lot of wattage.
If you know Python, then trying NumPy is pain.

Because for some reason data scientists have managed to misuse the python syntax. E.g. `np.ogrid[ -200000000:200000000:100j,-500000:500000:100j]` it's completely unexplainable what this does. They have managed to overload index/slice operator and imaginary numbers to produce two arrays.

Coming back with information from #xiph on freenode:

16:57 <ArsenArsen> where and under what license is the training data used for RNNoise?
18:38 <rillian> ArsenArsen: There's a copy of what I believe is the training data on the xiph server, but afaik it's never been published
18:39 <rillian> the original submission page has an EULA waiving copyright and liability claims, and agreeing that it _may_ be released CC0.
18:40 <rillian> it looks like that didn't actually happen.
18:41 <rillian> there may have been concerns about auditing it for privacy issues, but there's a lot of audio to listen to, 6.5G compressed
18:41 <rillian> jmspeex, TD-Linux: what's the status of publishing the rnnoise training data?
18:43 <jmspeex> Are you talking about the data that was used to train the default RNNoise model or the noise that got collected with the demo?
18:43 <rillian> jmspeex: I think debian just cares about the training data for the default model.
18:44 <jmspeex> There was never plan to release that -- it includes data from databases we cannot release
18:44 <jmspeex> but I don't see what the issue is. Distributing the model is not the same as distributing the data
18:45 <rillian> ah, I see. I didn't realize you'd used proprietary sources as well.

If you only look at Robinhood, sure, they're not gaining anything.

Just use a broker like fidelity who is not similarly conflicted.
It may take a while to see the visual clues: indentation, formatting, structure patterns. Beyond simple lists, Lisp uses a variety of list structure patterns for language constructs. It's a bit like learning to ride a bike: initially it looks not possible to balance, steer and move forward at the same time.

One thing that's not that usual is that authors can implement new language constructs themselves. Thus one may need to understand that meta-syntax level when reading and writing new constructs. A starter book like SICP thus does not use this prominent feature: it does mostly NOT define & use macros.

Authors need to learn how to design new macro operators.
The Idea that modern formal systems are a European Invention is a common misconception, but nevertheless wrong. Depending on your definition of "modern formal systems" they were either first invented by the Babylonians, in India or in China but most certainly not in Europe, which at the time was at a much earlier state of development.
My source is Consumer Reports. CR lists Lexus as a brand of the Toyota Motor Company, and yes Toyota is the most reliable automaker. But if you look at Brands, Toyota, Honda, and Subaru beat Lexus.

Mazda was never in the running. Mitsubishi has better ratings than them.
For the ladies or non-binaries on the boards, they have an even easier set of commands, 'man find' or depending on distro 'man search' and 'man locate'. There's also additional tools with 'man configure' and 'man make'.

See? There's no passion here. It really isn't relevant to what is being discussed.

Sure, passion is great. The more the better, the world is incredible when you're surrounded by it. Developers are fond of writing beautiful code, I am one of those too. But god damn, hold the inner coach and remember y'all are not psychologists. There is no reason to reduce the multitude of complex motivations to a single amorphous concept such as passion.
It sounds like, at the present, we're trading (local pollution in lithium- and cobalt-rich areas and landfills) for (local pollution in oil- and gas-rich areas and logistic networks, and global pollution from exhaust). At the present, batteries are beneficial in terms of global warming; but probably a wash in terms of pollution from resource extraction. OTOH, it appears that progress is being made towards the recycling of lithium batteries. If that situation improves, the impact of resource extraction will diminish but not vanish.
I was asking the person I replied to.

You might have to first realize why some people would feel there are massive systemic injustices. It might have felt simpler and happier when you didn't have to confront extreme imbalances of justice. If you want "empathy and unity" then be part of the solution.

Question for mods/dang/etc.: How interesting was it that a third party hit HN @ 300 requests per second for a total of 25M hits ?
Good read, thanks for sharing :).

I will keep the article in case one day I want to persuade my child to love math.
It's good this doesn't occur in all areas, but at least for software systems (the area of vendor contracts I'm familiar with) it's not uncommon. A vendor provides an opaque system that requires relatively deep knowledge of it to perform integrations etc. A third party would need to dig deep into the system & documentation to work with it.

I've seen this with SunGard/Ellucian, and also Oracle. They would not make their documentation & technical manuals publicly available. A third party arose offering general maintenance & other services, and used customer's documentation copies to do so. SunGard sued them, and the customer [0]. Oracle has done something similar [1].

Unfortunately, this is a common practice by providers of large proprietary systems, and whether or not the vendor prevails is almost irrelevant: customers now know that competitive bidding brings a risk of costly litigation.

Personally I don't think suing your customers is a very good business practice for long term customer loyalty. Then again some industries only have the choice of a few vendors, roughly equally litigious, to choose from. The alternative is to create your own custom system, but that's an option only available to very large customers.

Applying to Remote jobs have been tedious, trying to go through and search for the best job available under so many job boards

Following which, i created a site that aggregates the latest remote jobs from popular remote jobs websites - https://newon.top

And that's worked so well with the good-Google.
Why do people keep referring to Github as Github and not Microsoft when discussing business decisions?

Github is not "backed" by Microsoft. Microsoft owns them. Github is Microsoft. This article is asking Microsoft to start an App Store, which they have already done. It's called Windows Phone Store. The article should be asking Microsoft to rebrand Windows Phone Store, not asking Github to make a new app store altogether.

I see the same thing happen with Twitch and Amazon. It feels like people don't understand how much influence and control is exerted on even the most independent subsidiaries, and how that control only increases year-over-year. Especially when it comes to something that generates money.

not a directly related question but still i think relevant because education.

how is the current system of higher education "justified" for the "masses" of students and not the cream toppers. i am specfically talking about india because that is what i can talk about. if your country is similar/dissimilar that would be great to know.

in india, its generally accepted that all students study till higher seconday, ie age of 18. there are enough schools and higher secondary schools/colleges to reach there.
just so you know, age 16 is "matriculation", then 11th and 12th as "higher secondary". then comes colleges and stuff.

what i am interested in is the "competitive exams" that happen right after this 12th, if you want to be a doctor, you have to qualify an exam, "NEET"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Eligibility_cum_Entra...

in 2020, 1,597,435 students registered for an exam, all india for a grand total of 66000 seats in all indian medical colleges.
Now, many students do go to foreign universities for studies but thats irrelevant.

my question is, if 1.5 Million "medical" students are studying for 66000 seats only, what about 1.4 million students? they wont be getting their place so they need to look elsewhere.

same for engineering and other courses.

yes many join regular colleges for degree courses, 3 year or 5 year or likes or many go into higher education like PHD and stuff but the core problem is every year millions are being taught medicine which is supposed to primary education for their lifelong professional career but many will simply not be able to achieve that.

what about these students?

edit:
right after you pass your "matriculation" you are supposed to decide your subjects, "medical", "non medical", "commerce" and "arts"

medical is medicine. non medical is engineering commerce is just that, arts is humanities.
In this case centralization is the usability, just like AOL centralized internet access options for users? Maybe you're unfamiliar with AOL in the beginning but it was largely a walled garden that happened to have a web browser.
Even if S3’s data is correct, I don’t believe it tells you anything about exactly what those positions are.

The volume has been so high that AFAIK, many of the original shorts could have closed out and re-sold short into the $300+ insanity (or other funds opened new short positions). That is, new short positions could even be in the money right now (at least some likely are).

Of course, another insane rush and buying spree could squeeze a short position at any price. It’s a giant game of chicken. To me, having a bearish position at $300 seems well-founded, but it certainly seems risky going against an army of people that hate you and are willing to lose a lot of money just to spite you.

It will be very interesting to see how this all unwinds.
Setting aside blame and the speculation about whether this was or wasn't intentional manipulation, there's another thing that gives me pause:

All of the offered explanations describe scenarios which are not possible in a decentralized financial toolchain.
I agree with core-questions, it is burn out. When I had it, similiar symptoms, I took 4 months vacation to go bike riding. After which I was fine again.

I hope you can find a way to relax and re-energize. You said you took a vacation, how long? I find for it to really help it needs to be a MINIMUM of 3 weeks. 1 week to ramp down, one week to actually relax, last week for me is always ramping up again.
Have they openly said this yet?

I haven't seriously used Python for quite a while so I don't know if this is possible/usual, maybe there's some kind of code generation happening at runtime that would throw off line numbers or added/removed/substituted lines compared to the on-disk script files?
