The Author makes no mention of Tesla's use of that "Giga Press" Die Casting IP in its automotive fabrication process and how in one casting 70 different "body shop" assembly steps are reduced into one single casting step.

So Tesla will eventually get to the point where the entire car/truck unibody will be cast in one step and that cost and unit time to produce a car/truck will be further reduced. And if the other automakers can not match Tesla's productivity via those Giga Press Die casting processes they will not be able to compete on price with Tesla!
Just because it's in Apple's self interest doesn't mean Tim Cook is wrong--in fact, he is 100% spot on. In fact, maybe it's a good thing that there is a corporation as large as Apple that can throw their weight behind regulating social media behemoths, that means it will be taken far more seriously by the public.

Yeah, this is exactly my point. What Robinhood is doing isn't particularly uncommon in the industry.
Why is there ''and/or'' in the MIT license text? Why is it needed?

Does the phrase ''this permission notice'' cover the following disclaimer?

Also, what is the shortest possible license that is functionally equivalent to the MIT license?

The shortest ''license'' I've ever seen is this:

Is this really a license? What about the SQLite blessing?
The collateral requirements depend on net buys vs sells. I'm guessing RH was tapped to the limit, and the buy limits were applied to anything with unbalanced orders. That applied to a bunch of stocks then, some that were up, and some that were down and looked cheap. (SBUX and AMD were among those down after earnings last week.)

> A personal experience is a fact. It is a fact we can be pretty sure of, and we know the context of that fact. Obviously, once we extrapolate from that experienced fact, it becomes bias.

> A fact that is not a personal experience is difficult to trust.

I think this is a very common sentiment, because of the immediacy of the experience, but that doesn't make it true.

My biggest gains as a human came when I started questioning whether my natural interpretation of the world was actually very good. It turns out, my natural inclinations for understanding things is pretty bad, and now that I recognize that, I am a much more effective human being.

Having gone through that journey, I now spot it all over the place with others. People misinterpret the world all of the time, and they do it without question because it's their personal experience, and how can that be wrong? It's too bad. We waste so much potential not accounting for our own limitations.
When I was at university he gave a seminar for professors and postgraduates entitled "Proving theorems with physics" where he used principles like the conservation of momentum or absence of bulk charge to prove a range of otherwise difficult theorems.

It was a really fun and interesting talk, the guy is extremely smart and charismatic.
> My perception is rather that Americans have very high tendency to assume they are the greatest country in the world. And because of mostly learning about their own country and history in school it is harder to hold themselves to higher standards

Anecdotally, as an American, I meet many more Americans that are critical of America compared to Americans that regard America as the greatest country in the world.

But, hey, I’m just an ignorant American whose only lived here my whole life and was actually educated in the US so it’s not like I have any insight into what Americans learn/don’t learn and common attitudes of normal Americans.

> Just two of them are not white—both hailing from South Asia—and none is black.

"Whiteness" is a US concept, which doesn't make much sense in a German context. That sentence only tells me that some South Asians are neither white nor black.

I have no idea how they'd classify e.g. Turks. I think Greeks are considered white in the US, so maybe Turks too.

The other big immigrant group in Germany are Vietnamese, but they're kind of hamstrung by mostly having moved to East Germany. (East Germans in general are economically disadvantaged.)

I think statistics about ethnicity would be more useful if they were based on easily interpretable categories like own country of birth, country of birth of parents, grandparents, etc.
Nowhere in the US has really had harsh lockdown measures.

SF also has density issues that will drive up the r0 of the virus. While the widely quoted r0 of the virus is around 3.0, the r0 in NYC at the start of the outbreak was estimated to be 5.0

(You could argue about if that was really the r(t) and not r0, but I'm not considering time-dependence or the reaction to the virus, but the actual starting reproduction number in NYC before there was any human reaction to the virus -- that isn't a constant value but depends on the local conditions).

Austin has an overall 3,000 people per square mile density, SF has an overall 18,000 people per square mile (and some areas are even more dense than that).
All these techniques are based on the malicious software already having access to the system. As Raymond said "you're already on the other side of airtight door".

Perhaps instead of relying on antivirus/antimalware programs to protect you, better educate the user. In no future time will ever exists a program that will be 100% idiot proof ("the Universe will always come with a better idiot" - quote from somebody way smarter than me)
Once again, you have avoided the question (although you've spiced it up this time with some additional condescension).

This is propaganda and you should be more critical of the people peddling it. For example, ask yourself whether Deloitte is part of the federal government or perhaps the solution to this problem isn’t simple enough to fit on a bumper sticker. The same private sector which includes Amazon and Apple also includes Comcast, not to mention Enron.

The deeper lesson is to look at incentives: where things go well, the structure encourages the outcome society wants. When they’re misaligned, you get global climate change or the American healthcare system underperforming our peers at whole number cost and stress multiples.
I'd assume the problem with doing this for dota2 is that items have more complex effects and the optimum build can vary depending on the state of the game at any time, is a teammate getting this item?, is the enemy already building to counter it? A lot more complexity and situational evaluation required.
>> That is the naive application of SIMD, which many have attempted. It does not lead to a meaningful speedup.

How can it not provide a meaningful speedup? If I have 3- or 4-element vectors a,b, and c, with scalars u,v. I want to compute:

a = ub + vc;

These should be first class data types, passed by value, and that line of code should take 2 SIMD instructions at most. That should also not require a fancy vectorizing compiler to do the analysis to find the parallelism because the data types map directly to the ISA vector registers.

GPUs have this, the benefit should be very real.

Unless you're using publicly available malware that is known to be used for crime, AV isn't going to detect anything. That's how it works, and that's how it has to work.

I haven'y fully read through the paper, but it doesn't look much different than what attackers have been doing with compiled AutoIT binaries for decades.

If it's on Github I'd be interested in looking at the code. If not it seems like just another academic paper misunderstanding the real problems faced by both attackers and defenders.
I'm not sure that's a given. They are different measures, but both completely valid. A return might be more meaningful to a long term investor, but ultimately every other metric and participant is interested in the absolute change: traders to calculate pnl/greeks/etc, exchanges to match orders, clearers to calculate margin.

If I am wearing 100 shares, whether it went from $5 to $10 or $100 to $105, it's the same pnl.

I agree with your points on trading frequency, but I still think Robinhood is good for people rather than bad.

I think the alternative destination for a lot of that Robinhood money isn’t “Vanguard VTSAX” but rather slightly positive lifestyle inflation/expenses.

To the extent that’s the case, all the gamification and reinforcement is creating a behavior that’s better than the likely alternative. (Returns are not good if your total lifetime investment trades are zero.)
The assumption of it being about delivery time is correct, and having very little to do with actual physical distance.

Each delivery method has its own time as well. And stock in anything I need for work is not available at any store in the city I'm in, typically, so needing something means there's always a delay.

Or we could just stop using app stores.

Honestly, I've yet to find an argument for the existence of an app store that holds water. Let people install what they want. Provide reasonable paths to update and upgrade and cut out the middle layer.

The layer of control that Google and Apple exert over people is anti-competitive. But the answer isn't competing app stores. I don't need someone to tell me what I can or can't install on the operating system on my device.
off topic, but I'm curious what would've been a typical workday there.

> By definition, we cannot have all elements be above average: at least one has to be below.

Ludicrously pedantic nitpick: this only applies to finite sets - consider the sequence 1,1/2,1/3,1/4,... (the harmonic series). The average (mean, median, mode[0]) is (depending on how pedantic you want to be) either 0 or 0+ε[1], but in any case strictly less than any positive real number, while every element of the sequence is a positive real number.

So it's not true by definition; it's a consequence of the basic sanity constraints that you're working with.

0: Strictly speaking mode only applies to continuous ditributions (ie, with a continuous probability density function) or fully discrete distibutions (eg heads vs tails), but 0 is the only (real number) x such that for any sufficiently small positive distance δ, the number of elements in x±δ is strictly greater than the number in x±2δ but not in x±δ (namely, all but a finite number of the inifitely many elements in x±2δ are also in x±δ).

1: Where ε is some surreal number[2] strictly less than any positive real number, but not necessarily 1/ω specifically.

Related but separate. Robinhood has an internal clearinghouse which halted trading for Robinhood.

Apex is a large third-party clearinghouse used by M1 and others that restricted buys for all (most?) of its clients. TDA and Schwab both have their own internal clearinghouses so far as I know.

I appreciate you coming back to the thread to give an example. However, the comment appears to no longer be downvoted or flagged.

This illustrates a common misconception about HN's propensity to vote one way or another. Your reply came less than two hours later, whereas the voting isn't complete for a while longer and so the score still has plenty of time to change as the audience continues to process it. This phenomenon (and related handwringing about "is HN reddit now?") can be observed as far back as 2009, and likely even further[1].

You might notice that the comment you replied to (which I would argue is actually demonstrably factually wrong in a few ways, and yet) recovered from its time in the depths beyond. This is likely owing to the fact that it was at least tactfully written, so replies could be written without having to work around the expletive content of the original comment; yours did not, arguably because it was not.

Anyway, this all sort of sidesteps the fact that comment karma was never intended to represent the value of a post or how worthy it is for distribution. It's more like a temperature gauge allowing you to perceive honestly how your comment makes others feel. And disagreement is a feeling too. In the words of 'pg, downvotes have always been used for disagreement.[2]

My first reply to you originally earned one downvote. And I figured it would, from at least one person, but I said it anyway because I believed it should be said. And you have that same ability too. Don't let the numbers get to your head. Just try and have normal conversations with people and the points take care of themselves. (As an example of this, I broke even on my original reply after some time, and gained more in my second reply.) It's rare that people with the ability to read a room and at least attempt to be agreeable in some way end up censured.

Thanks for coming back to this thread! I feel like this became a little more substantive than it was when it began.

Hi Colin, congrats on the (re-)launch! Fellow SUS 2019 graduate here.

I know layerci's tech precedes snapshot support in Firecracker [0], but are snapshots similar to layerci's magic or there's still a significant way for snapshots to go before it can be on par with layerci's tech? I ask because I remember you mention layerci uses techniques (from how Linux hibernates PCs) which are good enough for tests and staging but not production; [1] whereas Firecracker obviously can't rely on such tech so there must be key differences? Thanks.

Not OP, but USDT / Tether is an example of something which exists as a proxy for something off-chain; so auditing the chain is obviously not going to work to see how much USD they actually have. Though it is possible to provably audit exactly how many USDT are in circulation at any point.

I think OP's point was more about things which exist entirely on-chain, i.e. the idea of having stock ownership tracked directly there (rather than as a proxy for real shares tracked somewhere else).

In that frame, a better example is something like the DAI stablecoin, which is backed by assets that are on-chain. So at any block, you can audit exactly how many DAI there are, exactly which assets exist to back it, and exactly what the last reported oracle prices are for those assets.
I think that the mesh aspect of this would be a substantial improvement over VHF/HF radios. I'm sure I'm wrong, but I don't know of anyone that is running a mesh VHF or HF system in the mountains. I always carry my HAM when I'm out, just in case anyone else is, but obviously that's truly local communication and has the downsides that you mention.

With a strategically placed mesh network and some solar panels, you could potentially overcome a lot of the downsides of radio because you could target high areas, such as mountain peaks, to help bridge those obstructions.

I definitely don't disagree that the #1 safety device is a GPS/sat phone, but those are prohibitively expensive and most people don't have them. If we could get some solar powered radios along ridges, and a decent percentage of people carrying them, I think there could be a very comprehensive mesh network that would work for most needs. Bearspray is already pretty ubiquitous, I don't think it'd be that hard to get people to bring a $30 mesh radio with them as a routine thing.
Call me cynical but with things like HID and NFC, this feels very "embrace extend extinguish".

The Italian-Chinese die casting tech is available to other customers too - it just has less impact when you already have high-performing manufacturing lines vs building a new one. But companies are buying, and Tesla only happened to be first customer for the largest model at the time, IIRC.
It is tempting to discuss demographics, however it is still true there is a group of people, that still enjoys reading, and this part is left behind by social media.

Since you can not link from insta and tiktok, you can not share longer meaningful articles. And even if you do, external links are ranked lower by social media platforms.

Maybe, authors should create videos, however it seems people who have important things to say shy from video form. The question is if really video is the right choice for valuable content, or is not.

Personally I think it is not a right medium for valuable content, therefore social media lacking features supporting text are just forcing not only enthusiastic readers, but also new demographics to consume brain fast-food.

And it really is sad considering how much value has the Internet. I am thus glad that this place still exists.

> What the hell are you talking about? The short sellers are literally losing tens of billions of dollars, and I believe they are going to lose several times more within the next week.

Yes, Melvin is losing their shirts.

But if you accept that the price is going to go down, and sharply at that, then somebody is going to make an absolute killing here from a short position when the price inevitably craters. And that amount will utterly dwarf the gains from WSB redditors, mostly coming at their expense.

There’s orders of magnitude more money to be made today shorting $GME at $400 than there was shorting it at $20.

It might not be fear of a bank run, but of enforcement from the SEC or FINRA for not maintaining sufficient net capital.

If they did run afoul of these regulations, it's probably advisable to not admit it on televised interviews.

That would also explain why they accepted a $1 billion investment rather than expanding their credit lines, and continued to limit purchases of Gamestop stock.
