Have you read SSPL? It's literally apply restriction to SaaS that impossible to comply with.

Also it's not some "everyone, but Amazon license". Terms they use are very fuzzy and can easily apply to more than just SaaS companies.

If Elastic wanted to stay open source they would use BSL: proprietary for N years and then code became GPL / APLv2.

Anti-SaaS clause of SSPL is here:

> The “System Libraries” of an executable work include anything, other than the work as a whole, that (a) is included in the normal form of packaging a Major Component, but which is not part of that Major Component, and (b) serves only to enable use of the work with that Major Component, or to implement a Standard Interface for which an implementation is available to the public in source code form. A “Major Component”, in this context, means a major essential component (kernel, window system, and so on) of the specific operating system (if any) on which the executable work runs, or a compiler used to produce the work, or an object code interpreter used to run it.

> The “Corresponding Source” for a work in object code form means all the source code needed to generate, install, and (for an executable work) run the object code and to modify the work, including scripts to control those activities. However, it does not include the work's System Libraries, or general-purpose tools or generally available free programs which are used unmodified in performing those activities but which are not part of the work. For example, Corresponding Source includes interface definition files associated with source files for the work, and the source code for shared libraries and dynamically linked subprograms that the work is specifically designed to require, such as by intimate data communication or control flow between those subprograms and other parts of the work.

There’s lots of good information about the Trinity College clock at http://trin-hosts.trin.cam.ac.uk/clock/main.php

The current clock dates from 1910 (a few years after this book) and it has a similar design to Big Ben’s clock in the Palace of Westminster.
"I quite agree with you," said the Duchess; "and the moral of
that is -- `Be what you would seem to be' -- or, if you'd like it put
more simply -- `Never imagine yourself not to be otherwise than what it
might appear to others that what you were or might have been was not
otherwise than what you had been would have appeared to them to be
otherwise.'"
-- Lewis Carrol, "Alice in Wonderland"
Is it true the company that owns Robinhood also has a huge short exposure to GME?
> there are not many guarantees in trading, but that is a guarantee to lose money.

What? This is not at all a guarantee. Even if there were a guarantee that it will come back down eventually (which seems highly likely but that's still not a guarantee), that doesn't mean it will go down today or tomorrow or next week. For all we know there is still lots of time for new investors to get in, make money, and then get out before the price crashes.

The particular absurdity of your claim here is that if it were true, we could not possibly have ended up in this place. That's exactly how we got here, people who "knew better" knew that of course this stock was going down and shorted it. Then it went up a little and people shorted it even more and it went up even more, and on and on as this played out over the past few weeks.
The usual alternative is Wordpress.

Which, honestly, is frequently deployed so poorly that it becomes an attack vector.
> Goliath is made of pension funds money

Well let's assume that's true (it's not).

The logical implication would be that Plotkin is shorting video game developers and retailers with pensioners' money.

The only practical way for market forces to disincentivize that kind of irresponsible and unsuitable risk-taking would be for him to publicly suffer losses.

If that happens, the pension funds withdraw their money.

If they withdraw their money, Plotkin's take-home pay and social status diminish.

So as they say, all roads lead to Rome. No matter where his trading assets came from, he suffers personal financial consequences from the loss and the resulting fallout.

First, RH aren't the only ones blocking GME purchases.

Second, if popular trading platforms artificially block demand, it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy, and the stock is going to plunge by this action alone.

Given Citadel's involvement, this is blatant market manipulation, and I hope people go to prison for this. Ftr, I never traded individual stocks, so I'm not affected, but this is still bullshit.
The strand conjecture: a complete, unified theory of fundamental physics
Robinhood stopped people from purchasing a stock without margin, so I don't buy your second reason.
I hope so too, but mainly because sourceforge burned all reputation and trust for me, when they sneakily bundled adware to OSS installers.
Robinhood's platform was allowing illegal activity - many people had come out publicly [0] saying they were attempting a short squeeze on GME which is illegal. Robinhood is extremely vulnerable to lawsuits for enabling that activity if they did not take action.

Which is why I qualified that. The numbers I've found indicate smartphone users, in the US, favor iOS (greater than 50% market share). So 1-star reviews in one of two app stores, and the app store with fewer users, won't be the thing that undoes Robinhood.
Market makers fulfill a bunch of orders, they then have until end of day to get into a delta neutral position. They prefer to trade against retail traders because retail traders are typically uncorrelated, which means that vast majority of trades cancel out (but MM still collects the bid-ask spread on the trades!). When you make markets for counter-parties that include big institution there is always a risk that the "small" trades you're fulfilling will be very correlated (because a big institution is actually breaking-up and feeding you a big trade). This is called adverse selection and will force MM to start buying to get to a neutral position (which means that the bid-ask spread they are collecting will have to be paid to some other seller).

What Citadel and others are doing is they are saying to RH "your order flow is uncorrelated and we'd like to make markets for it, we will charge your users slightly lower bid-ask spread (price improvement for user) and we will also give you a slice of the bid-ask spread we do collect, in return the uncorrelated nature of the orders will ensure that we won't have to do much trades in order to maintain a neutral position."

This proposition is actually good for

1. RH users (they get price improvement relative to NBBO)

2. RH (they get to make money and get a user base)

3. Participating market makers (they get much steadier cash flow from MM activity).

It is bad for

1. Big institutions, they get to pay larger spread than they would if the market was more diluted by retails

2. Non-participating MM (they increase the bid-ask spread to make sure it's still worth their time but there is more volatility and it's a competitive market so mis-pricing the spread is a real problem).

Also, current GME shenanigans are net good for MM since MM is a business that makes money on volume, not direction.
Ah, sorry, my mistake. RTFM and all that...
I'm not sure I'd live somewhere different to be honest. I'm far enough out of the city that I'm essentially in a rural area. I like being close enough to a major city that I can go in for theater and things like that in normal times (and access to a major airport).

Certainly I could live wherever in the country I wanted to--though western US starts to become more difficult because of timezone differences to Europe--but no interest in moving at this point.
Hedgefunds overstepped and now if you own a share of GME they are required to buy it back from you at any price. They made that contract when they shorted. They planned nobody would notice or care. Now every person who notices and does the most rudimentary hello world market action (buying a stock) hurts them. This could only happen in the context of the audacious 140% shorts. This is the type of shenanigan people are referring to.

> Wrong. The bull case was made for GME as far back as late 2019, and it gained momentum this year.

That argument was made last year and early this year. The argument this week has been that the stock price will increase specifically because of a short squeeze, and the popular comment on WSB has been that buying and/or holding GME stock is a rebellious act that will cause that short squeeze to happen.

If deliberately causing a short squeeze constitutes illegal market manipulation, then at least some of the WSB comments advocate for going over that line. On the other hand, the SEC would probably have its hands full linking these comments to actual trades that were meaningful enough to move the stock price -- SEC rules aren't written with a horde of enraged small-dollar investors in mind as the culprits.

Notice that RoaringKitty has taken profits from his GME holdings over the past few weeks, most recently about two days ago, and has not continued buying into the stock.

> I lost multiple years worth of salary this morning when RobinHood decided to stop selling GME.

With all due respect, GME has been a highly speculative play for at least this entire week. It's not a good idea to speculate with money that you can't afford to lose.
Note for others if you want to transfer to another broker you may be better to sign up elsewhere first, then do an ACATS transfer from your other broker of your entire Robinhood account. This avoids closing positions and reopening them creating a tax event. Just screenshot / save all your lots and cost basis first in case there is an issue loading them at the other end (that’s rare).
B/c TSLA shenanigans all occurred under a completely corrupted admin whose agencies will need time to rebuild. Can't believe I need to write that. It's no secret a con man was at the helm.

Here's a "cool" PSD quirk.

Take a PSD that has many layers. Look at its filesize (mine is ~70mb). Add one layer to the PSD, fill it with white, and make it the topmost layer. Save it as a new PSD and compare the filesizes.

The new PSD with the white layer is 55mb. Why?
In the long run? Probably. Short term I think this at least delays their IPO.

I know they've lost me as a customer (and I actually pay for gold and margin). I was a huge fan of Robinhood and have been using them for nearly 5 years.
I wonder if that will make them liable when it goes to court. The combination of forced liquidation after banning buying the security seems super sketchy to me.
Ah that’s good to know (and I confirmed it with a mate too). Good luck everyone!

I can be, if you don't server everything through databases and app servers. Remember that HTML was really designed to work reasonably well in the age of dial-up modems, so it flat screams if you use it correctly.

(Also note that coming from the age before CSS dramatically helps both speed and code complexity - table-based layouts were certainly abused, but they had their advantages, too - and should still almost always be used for actual tabular data!)

Robinhood’s Customers Are Hedge Funds Like Citadel, Its Users Are the Product
Pretty much all the household brokerages stopped charging fees about a year ago.
I'm curious how you would justify the valuation.

GME is trading at between 4x and 8x it's all time high in 2008. The graph of the stock price basically looks like a flat line until a few days ago where it dramatically spiked to far, far more than it's previous peak.

Are you saying that GME will actually be worth it's current stock price a year from now? Why is that?
Tastytrade also restricted trade in the same manner. They send a mail to all customers and made it very clear that it was Apex Clearing who forced their hand. It is very unlikely that something different happened at Robinhood.
What's the bitrate for these streams?

> But why does it have to be an either or?

In mixed onsite / remote teams, the remote employees can be seriously disadvantaged regarding access to information, participation in decision-making, etc.

Some of the comments above mention this effect, and my own personal experience has very painfully confirmed it. It was a truly awful experience for me. I suspect it's what lead to the maxim, "If anyone is remote, then everyone must be remote."

It's effective, because markets (including the marketplace of ideas) are irrational and bad faith tactics are often more effective at influencing people (at least in the short term) than reason and verifiable fact. I wouldn't consider it valid, though.

That argument makes no sense. Both bookmarks as well as
persistent tabs are not something you'd use in incognito mode.
Also, if you use incognito mode for anything that should survive

you use separate profiles for a reason.

No need to be condescending. Especially not considering a few

bookmarks should have been designed from the start. If you

crashes is still not accurate.

Short squeezes are illegal according to the SEC. WSB shows many people clearly collaborating to create a short squeeze, example - https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/l594yg/gme_....

As someone who lives in Arizona, I think there's also the question of if you can get armed support from the police if you need it in a hurry which drives gun sales on both sides of the political spectrum here (which I'll grant is probably some part of the monopoly on force concept).

I just wish they'd bring back milk delivery, like in the old days, but 24/7.

I ran out of cream for my coffee at 3AM in Amsterdam. But of course there's a 24/7 nitrous oxide delivery company in Amsterdam:

https://amsterdamlachgas.com/

I'm not a customer, but I would only consider it if they'd actually deliver fresh cream without any nitrous oxide at 3AM, to keep up the pretense that the N2O was actually intended for making late-night whipped cream.

But no, they brashly deliver incriminating accessories like balloons and "Slagroomspuit" dispensers. But no cream! Fuck that.

https://amsterdamlachgas.com/lachgas-toebehoren/

Somebody should start a 24/7 milk and cream delivery service. DeliverMOO!

I think you could make a killing delivering 24/7 fresh milk, cream, and dairy accessories like breakfast cereal and chocolate mix.

After a new listing, retail can buy at the same instant as institutions, as long as the retail broker allows it, and many do.
I wanted to let you know that you probably did nothing wrong. The people you were working for were probably just like you a few years ago and when they first arrived the guy they worked for was a prick just like they were to you. They knew nothing and their job was on the line. They probably went home every night for a year, puked their guts out and frantically did everything they could to learn as quickly as they could while during the day keeping their head down, and trying to keep the look of panic off their faces.

Now they're established, they've got their place. That boss that they struggled under is still there and they're going to do to you exactly what he did to them. It's like hazing. Sure one of them might choose to break the cycle and take you under their wing but they're taking the risk that after you learn the ropes you'll go to their sadistic boss and stab them in the back. You know you'd never do that but this is a workplace where everyone stabs everyone else in the back so why not. Also don't think that there hasn't been someone that's already tried that and got stabbed in the back so everyone has seen it and knows what can happen so they're not going to do that.

What they were probably looking for were two things. You could take a certain amount of shit and not fight back or at least fight back but only to a limit. They wanted to know that you knew your place. The second thing is they wanted to know if they could trust you. Until they know that you're not going to go to their boss and say something like, "I have no idea what they're doing. They don't even know XYX hot new tech" you're an enemy.

Not staying there very long was probably a blessing. Working in these environments can leave some serious scars. You read about stuff in history books were you think, "wow, how can someone be so angry that they do such terrible things to other people" then you work at a place like this and you find yourself thinking, "if I came across him in the parking lot having a heart attack I'd step over the body and smile the whole ride home." Then you'll know.
Are you talking about brokers or money makers? If it's brokers they usually make money from trading activity (traders, deposits,withdraws,holding money in they accounts).
If it's money makers then they can't "stop taking new positions", as they are not working directly with retail investors.
