For sure, you get a much better experience seeing a work in person. I’ve never seen photographs that can capture the detail in brush strokes that you will see when examining a painting. Street View is also a bit crude in the ability to position, so you are also never going to be able to look at a work from multiple angles, exactly how you wish.

You should also check out the Cleveland Museum of Art when the pandemic allows - they have a really massive touch screen where you can interact with the pieces in their collection. It’s so large that many people can use it at the same time!
I watched that movie and wished that I could have been the beneficiary of such editing. Once it's possible it seems obvious to want to do it. What's the problem?
The JackTrip Virtual Studio uses an inexpensive Raspberry Pi, and connects a low latency hardware codec directly into the Pi's bus, to achieve a latency of 1mS. At that level, the only other latency you have to worry about is the speed of light (through the internet). I've just published an article about the Virtual Studio at https://wmleler1.medium.com/setting-up-your-virtual-studio-6...

They have potentially unlimited source of funds at disposal from their parent hedge fund. They often don't shut down especially when they have better information than the public.

They can eat the cost of getting the timing wrong if it means they stand to make a killing which they are poised to do as average retail traders are simply transferring wealth to the pockets of executives and hedge fund managers while thinking they are actually socking it to the big man.

Eventually the stream comes to a stop, a large dip or people cashing out signals an end and a group of retailers who didn't know that they were being pumped are caught holding the bags.

I am now reading on r/wallstreetbets that $30,000/share makes perfect sense and it had like 24k upvotes. This is the type of insanity gripping the subreddit. Now even people who don't even use reddit are asking me how they can buy GME. This is textbook peak bubble even as we are consistently seeing red days across the board.

Why not have the Supreme Court resolve every dispute? Because it's too expensive. Ultimately you can't exempt yourself from the judgement of society and the market. If you commit to a "most-work chain wins no matter what" policy it doesn't mean that chain will win economically.
How did you get so based?
I have never once been shown a conspiracy theory I didnt specifically look up.

The incitement of violence is such a cope out too. People decide to be violent, punish those that are.

Telling people to go "peacefully and patriotically" is obviously not inciting violence.
It was just a random phrase that my hands typed in IRC with minimal direction from my brain; I sarcastically said "yes, sending plaintext over the Internet was literally impossible before the widespread domestication of users". I honestly have no idea how the hell I came up with that.

(yes, I understand that messaging apps are more than sending text over the Internet; it was a bad joke).

I read what I wrote and thought that it was a clever phrase. One day and like 2500 words later, here we are :).
Melvin does not presently have a parent hedge fund, and it never has. It received investments from two other hedge funds, but those were for non-controlling revenue share.
I'm not an expert, but my understanding is that this isn't like a tug-of-war where if there are more people betting short than long then the shorts win. It's asymmetrical. There are a finite number of shares and if enough people are willing to hold them at a certain price, then that will be its price. Someone with infinite money can't force the price to drop. (At least not through normal "market" means that don't involve fraud, theft, coercion, changing the rules, or violence.)

Imagine there's an auction for a one-of-a-kind Stradivarius violin, and it's bid up to a million dollars. Maybe you're a violin expert and know that it's only worth a hundred thousand dollars. But if at least two people are willing to bid it up to a million dollars, then there isn't a bidding strategy to cause the violin to sell for less than a million dollars.

Theoretically you could maybe claim to own an identical violin and be willing to sell it for two hundred thousand dollars, but if you don't actually have one it's a lie, and if people take you up on the offer but the price doesn't go down, you're on the hook for it. Which means you'll have to buy the violin at whatever price the person who wins the auction thinks it's worth, or default on your commitment.
No joke, I kept a downtown SF gym membership mainly for the restroom access. There's also one restaurant I know of that still operates esssentially a public restroom in the core.

Otherwise Starbucks has become the national public restroom, which their president commented on in print a while back:

Starbucks: No Purchase Needed To Use The Restroom

https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/05/11/610337214...

The most egregious example that doesn't have a restroom is the downtown Market St. McD. Tourists literally ask for one every 10 minutes there, get told no, then it quickly dawns on them they have a serious problem to deal with.
Tangential, but apparently at least one Signal user was logged out overnight and is unable to log back in due to a cellular outage: https://twitter.com/the_ayeminthant/status/13560649817126912...

Seems like a major weakness if your local government can somehow just log you out of your secure messaging platform.
you are correct. very good advice. thank you.
Closest may be ISO 9660 or UDF, although those are aimed more towards write-once/read-only media.
so, turn it on? at least they have it, I guess.

I don't see the issue here?
Worked out well enough for them. Reaped huge windfall profits for years then got bailed out by the government with hardly any consequences.
US has 10% more roads tho (probably more lanes too).

However looking at road fuel use US uses something like 5-10x more fuel per year when compared with EU states.

That's kinda insane.
Actually... the 'Mainland-China' isn't 'China' at all -- they got rid of their own legacy during the Cultural Revolution. The traditions, artworks, even the people were lost for a lost cause (idolization of Mao)

Taiwan is 'what remains of the real China -- the Han dynasty and others'. Though the mainland 'Chinese' has deteriorated the branding 'china' so much that Taiwanese no longer wants to do anything with the word 'china'
> It's a rule of thumb that hasn't led me astray yet.

How can you know if your decision is correct if you never use it in the first place. Isn't it like only implementing A version of A/B and concluding that not implementing B version was a good decision.
Were you forced to make it a hackintosh to run company-required software or did you end up with a linux build?
> you can't quickly tell whether some thing you're looking at is data, a function, or a macro, or what

First of all, there are elements that are unmistakably data: "abc", 123.0E-13, #(1 2 3), :keyword :symbol.

The ambiguity is that a compound expression headed by a symbol could be anything. In order to to be fooled, we just have to read the entire top-level form from the outside in.

Well, that's what language is. For instance, if I'm saying "Bob believes that the Earth is flat", but you only catch my speech starting on at word "the", it looks like I'm saying that the Earth is flat. To get the real meaning (the belief is attributed to Bob), you need the whole sentence.

Or, until you hear the "nai" at the end of a long Japanese sentence, you have no idea that it's going to be negated.

Current SEC regulations on shorting are at link below along with a few FAQs.

https://www.sec.gov/investor/pubs/regsho.htm
I just wanted to point out that naked shorting is very easily hidden. It’s hard to prove and the system is built for allowing shadiness. At this point how can we still give them the benefit of the doubt?
I'll also add that tons of people I know who have never traded in the markets woke up Tuesday and Wednesday and decided to buy a single share for the lulz. I'm fairly convinced 70% of the volume may have been due to retail.

Yes, quite dumb of Signal to stop working when "The internet is in and out and my sim card no longer works"
Sure the meme got him to 40m+ worth of GME but he would have still come out nicely whether it was blown into the massive meme or not. My understanding is that he bought in at a $4 price so GME rallying 10x is still a massive win. The meme took him above and beyond. I think we stand to learn something from him, speaking as an amateur here of course.
As much as I dislike Apple, I dislike Facebook even more.

And as much as I dislike Facebook, I dislike even more the more evil alternatives that could exist.

We're lucky that it's just Zuckerberg - some nerd that lucked his way into a lot of money. There are plenty of people that could be more nefarious - particularly if the power is shared among a group of people where blame can even further be distributed.

I don't want to get too political and name names, but there are certain companies that are magnitudes worse - that can be tied directly to concentration camps, cartels, war crimes, mass scale environmental destruction. And they don't get held accountable because they're made up of boards of shadowy people that know how to stay out of the public eye and grease the right wheels.
Yes, affording health insurance is not much of a concern for someone making 400k/yr. The financial concerns faced by the vast majority of people are never experienced by someone in that privileged a situation.

It's a much bigger story for people make closer to the median income.
You are both right, but you are missing the point. It is entirely possible for controlling interests to be held in other classes of shares (or even common), that is not counted in the FREE float available to trade.
I'm curious; do you know that from some document from the fund? The linked source doesn't appear to support that conclusion.
I doubt E-Trade has access to much of Morgan Stanley’s liquidity, that would be absurd. Even they have limitations their parent enforces, and it would be really inefficient to operate with a massive surplus of collateral.

But again I said they may just not have liked tying up so much collateral for a single trade. Different companies with different needs.

And restricting purchases while allowing selling is the fastest way to reduce your collateral requirements. Every share sold is money the DTCC owes you, every purchase is money you owe them.

Lastly, it wasn’t a very useful conspiracy if restricting purchases on this rabble of minor brokers was the method. You could still buy GME across over 90% of the brokers by client base.

Even my broker, InteractiveBrokers, only restricted options. I could buy all day long. Or go long all day by.
This is true in League, too. Maybe not to the same extent, but in the early game potion usage is very important.
There’s a difference between “not working” and “my device’s authentication token was revoked.” She notes that WhatsApp continues to work.
I actually wish that proposal was leaner… unless they intentionally put in extra parts they could sacrifice during negotiation.

“Prove that a third-party client with feature parity to yours can function on top your platform” could probably be the sole requirement, taking care of both back-end interoperability and ‘delegability’ (which to be honest I suspect is an unnecessarily obscure term).

Data portability could be a good next step, but I’m not sure it’s strictly necessary to fundamentally shift incentives.
The game has gotten sufficiently big enough that long-sided whales haven entered and are snapping up shares and abosrbing short attacks. See the long buying at Friday market close, institutional volume aimed at boosting close price to inflict pain on short via higher maintenance margin.

The shorts are in a corner now, their positions are underwater on paper and long whales have an incentive to keep it there.
Makes sense, but don’t let this spoil the party back at wsb
Presumably this is all using one channel as well, so scalability will be limited by the amount of airtime per device.

I suppose you could send voice very slowly at very high latency if you wanted to... but it would not be very efficient.

Unsynched subtitles are hell. I don't know how Kodi knows that a subtitle in open subtitle is "synched". Looks like magic to me.
A lot of companies can push LOAD DATA INFILE or bulk copy programs, which require no additional servers and can ingest a t 1 million rows per second, pretty far before going Kafka.

Also, Kafka has the problem that to keep rings under control, you end up expiring (losing) data after so many days, and most companies have just one expert to keep it running.

Why Blazing Saddles, and not something like, say, Song of the South? A lot of old movies are ...problematic - I'm just curious why you selected Blazing Saddles as your standard and not anything else that might be on either side of it on a spectrum.
Yeah I should have referenced it as “kept pace with” as I did in the original post for which the parent requested proof.
The article fixates excessively in throughput, as if was the only factor that mattered for choosing a data store.

It isn't, since Kafka isn't necessarily about scaling, but also focuses on immutability, architectural flexibility etc, all of which a RDBMS might not offer.

Also, anyone who claims that their investment decisions were made based on an adversely impacted by that lie, which could be the bigger danger, because the SEC might let you go with a also in the wrist (maybe not, to, politics and policy considerations here can be hard to anticipate), but investors who recognize that you've made yourself a money piñata won't.
For game's yes but for Blender 3D's GPU accelerated Cycles rendering(Not CPU Cycles rendering) that relies on OpenCL that's not shipping in the Kernel.

So on some of the later HWE Kernels 5.8 for me that's not so good just yet for getting OpenCL working on AMD's Ryzen/Vega integrated graphics(Ryzen 5 3550H) and Radeon RX560X discrete mobile Graphics as well on the same laptop.

So Blender 3D currently on my laptop can not detect any OpenCL/Cycles compatible rendering enabled Graphics/GPU and will default to Cycles rendering on the CPU cores instead(Way Slower and ties the CPU cores/threads up 100% until the CPU rendering is finished).

So the MESA OpenGL and Vulkan drivers are in good shape but really any OpenCL compute acceleration on AMD's Ryzen APUs and on Kernel 5.8/Later and that's a wait and see. And Blender 3D, Gimp, Dark Table and other open source Graphics applications that need OpenCL will have to wait for that for me.

So Compelling for gaming maybe yes but compelling for GPGPU compute workloads that rely on OpenCL not so much compelling on the newer Razen APU based hardware and AMD's Instructions and not as polished as some of the Intel/Linux related instructions.

But really most laptop OEMs are still not tuning their laptops firmware for Linux except system76/other linux laptop OEMs! But that ASUS TUF FX505DY laptop was on special sale pre pandemic for $499 so not a bad deal but with loads of special issues to surmount just to get a Linux Mint 20.0 Live USB to even boot to install Mint 20 in a dual boot configuration alongside Windows 10 10/1909 Home.

But Blobs and out of tree Wifi drivers and that laptop's getting a Samsung M.2/NVMe to replace the WD Black M.2/NVMe that shipped with the laptop and the Realtek WiFi card sits right under the M.2/NVMe SSD slot so that's getting a more Linux Kernel out of the Box friendly WiFi card with better features as well.
Despite what western media outlets say, this is not necessarily a bad thing. Military juntas are often a good/restorative part of government in countries like Thailand and Myanmar, and are well received by the general public.

Context is important, so the Nasdaq 100 (as represented by the QQQ ETF) returned ~49% in 2020, 39% in 2019, and 24% over the last 5 years. Beating the indexes by 5-6 points consistently is very good, but it's important to keep in mind that most equities were doing really well over that period.

(Edit: It's been reported elsewhere that these numbers are net of fees. However, it's entirely possible that for taxable accounts, tax considerations still narrow the performance gap. And of course, the QQQ offers instant liquidity and did not drop 53% this month.)

Either way, the money currently in there is very likely to underperform the indexes over the next 5 years (because they need to return 100% to get back to the pre-GME position).

> I think accessibility is going to become more important as Millennials start to age. I'm only in my mid-30's and already have RSI and CTS due to decades of mouse use & bad ergonomics. I suspect I'm not alone.

Definitely a pattern I'm seeing on the Web, accessibility is becoming more and more important, and "bending over backwards" for the user/client is on the horizon.

Furthermore, I think accessibility will be the breaking point between huge dinosaurs like Facebook and Twitter and small communities of dozens, hundreds, and thousands of members.

The big ones will have to choose between opening up the platform to accessibility, which inevitably also means opening it up to automation, abuse, and data flight -or- alienating an increasing number of accessibility users. Either way is not that attractive.

I saw this going around on one of the main Reddit posts (maybe the one referenced in the article that was deleted):

> Think about the Gainz. If you don't care about the gains, think about the banks like JP MORGAN you'd be destroying along the way.

The idea that this is going to make any meaningful impact on JP MORGAN is ridiculous and I suspect the person who wrote it is aware it's ridiculous. They are just out to screw people so they can make a quick dishonest buck.

Just like the real Wall Street, /r/WallStreetBets is full of horrible scumbags.

TSLA's valuation can only be described as extremely optimistic, hedging on "huge bubble" status. I don't think we've seen the brakes on the buy side at all, considering the buy side has been artificially constrained by limits and restrictions.

Is $2,000 GME possible? Of course it is. It's not even unprecedented considering the other businesses valued at billions of dollars with shaky business models.
But the idea they could go months or years without getting access to the stocks in their account isn’t. And it’s small consolation to get all your GME shares back only when it’s trading back at $20.

Everyone is beholden to something to some degree.

Robinhood users grouping together in a sufficiently large and unusual trade to (nearly) take down a hedge fund is unusual enough to mean some things that they didn't anticipate having to do have occurred.
A large portion of legacy systems integration can be solved by asking the question “which data must be updated in real-time and which can wait for batch processing?”

Screen scrape data from legacy terminal apps, export into SQL middleware, have the new app interact with the SQL middleware via modern APIs. All legacy data gets batch updated back into legacy systems, all new data gets stored and accessed in middleware. Eventually, the middleware becomes the primary data source and the entity can save on the electric bill.
A fairly significant amount of the "easily gamed systems" are actually taking reasonable precautions. Several of the people doing the gaming are escalating it to very stupid heights: dozens of LLCs registered, applied for ASNs, used to hijack large amounts of IP space and hijack Comcast/Verizon/etc IP space to place fraudulent orders.

There is a huge amount of CFAA or worse stuff that needs prosecuting - it isn't just bots placing orders, it's mass amounts of hacked machines and hacked phones being used as proxies and cookies stolen for a valid fingerprint/less CAPTCHAs, wire fraud and forgery of documentation being accepted (instead of RPKI/proper filtering)

Anyone that has a slightly popular (at all, really) will get shady requests asking to "install a SDK" or "buy your extension" which installs malware on your end-users devices. This is the slightly legal/grey area part. The other part is where AFRINIC recently revoked a /14 for fraud that was nearly entirely used for proxies and abuse by a 1 person US company, based on WHOIS remarks, obtained fraudulently.
