Sometimes I think researchers do not understand second-order effects of their pet theories.

The societal/market result of stuff like this will inevitably be something like "Let's crowdsource more of these creative activities, so we can drive down the already rock-bottom compensation rates of the few jobs that cannot be automated - this research says we're not going to lose anything on the quality side anyway". In the (laudable) quest to make amateurs respectable, they might well end up stripping even professionals of what little respectability they had accrued.

It's likely that democratization of creativity is a fundamentally unstoppable force in itself (like we've seen in photography, music, video etc); there is no need to hasten its rise though.
We specify resources as parameters to limit usage both for notebook servers, and for long-running notebooks we schedule[0][1].

In other words: for notebook servers, we can select the resources we want when starting a notebook, say 5GB of RAM for exploring something and dry-running some code on a sub-sample. Then we schedule the notebook with more resources (GPU, RAM, etc). We can set the timeout to kill the job.

We also shut down the notebook servers automatically, and use resources only for the duration of the long-running notebook when they're scheduled.

OP might want to look into JupyterHub spawners[2]. They can use the API to make custom spawners that fit their specific needs (handling storage, using specific images, etc).

One limitation in ZTJPH in one comment above if I recall correctly is the locality of the cluster. OP also might want to take a look at JupyterHub Enterprise Gateway[3] which may solve their need.

It depends on the experience OP wants to provide for their users. We wanted to let users roam around, have files, use the console, collaborate in real-time, load data, and fresh environments... Similar to what they'd have on their own laptops, except with a better experience. Not just "one notebook view" or a rigid pipeline.

That's what we disliked in most of the products we've seen so far. That and the fact many of them focused way too much on pretty stylesheets and animations instead of actual problems ML people struggle with.

He definitely does engage in legitimate debate about reasonable theories and weighing plausible evidence. On issues like that he can be a reasonable contributor to the public debate. That's fine. The question is to what extent is that cover to get himself a seat at the public debate table, to lend credibility to the woo woo stuff which is what sells his books?

He doesn't make money from suggesting there might have been an asteroid impact that affected the climate at a given point in history. He gets paid for writing books about "Meetings with the ancient teachers of mankind".

From Susan Landau's 2016 testimony[1] before the House Judiciary Committee regarding Apple's encryption on the San Bernardino shooter's iphone:

>> "Instead of embracing the communications and device security we so badly need for securing US public and private data, law enforcement continues to press hard to undermine security in the misguided desire to preserve simple, but outdated, investigative techniques."

>> "We need 21st century techniques to secure the data that 21st century enemies—organized crime and nation-state attackers—seek to steal and exploit. Twentieth century approaches that provide law enforcement with the ability to investigate but also simplify exploitations and attacks are not in our national security interest. Instead of laws and regulation that weaken our protections, we should enable law enforcement to develop 21st century capabilities for conducting investigations."

>> "Developing such capabilities will involve deep changed for the Bureau, which remains agent-based, not technology-based."

Whenever law enforcement complains that they need tools that give them access to more data they never mention that they have access to far more data than any point in history. Yes, some types of data they have used in the past may be going dark, but they have gained an incredible breadth of new tools.

Unfortunately, learning new investigation techniques requires money, training, and effort. Shoveling as much data as possible onto the problem makes the actual investigation more difficult, but they do it anyway when it also acts de facto as another source of power. ~sigh~ This crap needs to be reigned in. Fast.

Pump and dumps usually include telling lies to the masses to engineer a rally. This is just a bunch of people bidding it up to stick it to the man, there is no manufactured news involved.
The trades are made with margin - aka borrowed money. Money borrowed from the broker. The broker runs the risk of being stuck with the bill for the money the lent out if clients cannot pay it back. The key issue is that rh gave margin to people with no clue, and should never have allowed margin trading to these accounts in the first place.
GameStop: The Black Swan of Wall Street
This is not exclusive to board game design. When I work on a personal project, I can be really creative and produce some good looking applications. However, as a professional developer working for someone else, I have to follow some guidelines that can result in boring, generic-looking stuff. This boring, generic-looking stuff allows me to consistently make a decent living, though.
WSB went through many different phases. I remember when gold was getting meme'd super hard ($JUNG, $DUST). Then "pharma bro" (Martin Shrekli) was popular and it was all about small cap bio stocks.

Then FD's (weekly OTM options, what it stands for is offensive) became super popular.

But I agree, it was always a good mix of memes and DD. I remember some activision DD which was along the lines of: "look at the name, act and vision! Two things a company needs to succeed".

>rejecting the fundamentals

I think what is missing in many people's analysis is that there is a new fundamental value in this situation. Buying GME shares is now linked to destroying a hedge fund and ruining some billionaire's days. For many people, and I include myself in this group, that has a real tangible value that outweighs the actual dollar amount it costs to buy a few GME shares.

When the leaders of these brokerages and hedge funds ponder as to why people are throwing money at something that is likely to crash and burn when it will likely not make money and is just hurting the billionaires, they are staring the answer in the face

The full text of the proposed resolution is here: https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/ST-13084-2020-...

Relevant part:

"Competent authorities must be able to access data in a lawful and targeted manner,in full respect of fundamental rights and the relevant data protection laws, while upholding cybersecurity. Technical solutions for gaining access to encrypted data must comply with the principles of legality, transparency, necessity and proportionality including protection of personal data by design and by default."

So, what they are saying here is: encryption is allowed but it has to be weak or backdoored. They want "Technical solutions for gaining access to encrypted data". They do want to ban strong encryption (which is the only kind of encryption worthy of the name).

Hint: every broker will do this. If you think any broker (let alone retail) will let the client's risk taking threaten their existence, you are deluding yourself. It's a little bit like insurance: as long as most clients take diversified risks and don't push the system to it's limits, the system works. When a significant portion (majority?) of the clients all pile into an increasingly hairy position, the broker will step in and prevent the clients exacerbating the situation further.

A local guide told me one of the scientific versions, which is common among local experts. It is quite simple: the missile test scared a herd of reindeer and they ran along a path known to them, which passed through the tent. The Russian authorities even now cannot disclose information about the tests, because those who launched the missiles are still alive and have high ranks (and if the information is disclosed, these military personnel would have to be jailed for causing death by negligence). The Mansi wouldn't tell about the reindeer because they were afraid they would be exterminated. That's where the science ends, the rest is just the tour guide's thoughts.
Also, the tour guide said that Dyatlov's group was not an exploratory group, but just a few students going on a hike. It was known about the snowstorm in advance, but for some reason it was still decided to go on, rather than wait out the good weather. Another important factor was that the group had left warm clothes for the return trip, so those who got out of the tent just froze.

So, if a free-to-use app suddenly becomes pay-to-use and all users lose their access to their data unless they pay (similar to an app getting malware but in a legal way), and then those users review with 1 stars...Google will remove those reviews?

This is dangerous. I remember some cases where an app suddenly changes owner and adds ads and other unwanted features. What happened in those other cases?
You open a margin account and post some collateral (usually cash or treasuries). You sign a margin agreement (which is essentially a credit aggreement) committing to pay up for any losses. The broker can use the posted collateral to cover losses and you will be asked to put up more margin if losses deepen beyond a certain point.

There are a few different ways to be short of a stock but the most common are to sell short in which case you have a few days to buy the stock or locate a borrow before the trade settles. Other ways to be short are to write call options which you can just do by selling that option to someone, or buy put options. In certain cases you can short a contract for difference or single stock future or short the return on the stock in an equity swap. For all of these you'll need your broker to facilitate.

Brokers don't work together which is how the aggregate position of all shorts can get larger than the total number of stocks in issue. This is obviously not a healthy situation but the brokers are relying on the collateral to enable them to make good any losses.

Finally some people may have a short as a partial hedge for an overall long position (eg "Crash put protection") so may be net long overall.
sorry OP but this just means that since '97, UX evolved faster than a human can follow (as usual in tech) and you are just out of touch with current trends. UX is still of the same, if not better importance as a decade ago (remember that uber is just taxi with better ux, airbnb is just accomodation with better ux, and revolut is just banking with better ux)
You could, or you could allow the internet to do that bit for you and focus your small team's efforts on much more important things like unwinding trades, securing emergency funding and making excuses to LPs. Forums full of people who've lost a lot of money, are pissed off at a particular company and had a politically incorrect subculture to start off with are not places likely to survive Big Tech's banhammer as everybody here already knows, especially if newbies are flocking to them looking for stock tips or lolz.

Genuinely baffled why so many HNers have spent the last couple of days forgetting everything they know about how the internet actually works to imagine that hedge funds whose couple of dozen employees are busy firefighting are somehow controlling the conversation.
This is a conspiracy theory spread on social media. Shorting after it has dropped so much already is an unprofitable strategy. These are cascading liquidations and the valid strategy is to go long when the liquidations stop and you get a relief bounce that squeezes out the novice shorts who chased the move. People have different names for the strategy (wall drop long, parabolic long). Shorts are mostly covering (not initiating) during the drop. The only sophisticated traders adding to a short would be options dealers who need to gamma hedge, or delta one HFTs trying to capture a quick move based on short term order flow imbalance.
Moments like this make me realize how much of a joke the whole economy is.
The fact that a person like Musk can have so much influence that he can print money by posting a single word tweet.

And you know what? Wall St is paying attention and I bet it won't be long before we see public influencers for securities.

Obviously, and it typically requires triangulating alliances (users & managers vs IT, or users & IT vs managers, occasionally IT & managers vs users but that's often a symptom the tool is not good).

One big issue most managers care about, is long-term maintainability. When you sell this, you should probably advise customers to have more than one person skilled up and responsible for maintaining the resulting tools. I was often bounced because "once you leave, nobody will know how to fix this" (which is fair, and happened more often than not). Making it easy to share projects is key.
Yes but there's a difference between reviewing evidence and using mass facial recognition software to scour literally everything.
you completely missed the point. the fact that the squeeze fails means that it fails to squeeze the shorts of the hedge fund, which is the one that will be coughing up billions to pay all the retailers. So yes, the retailers that are buying shares at higher prices will indeed lose actual real money if the short squeeze fails. And it will be due to what is likely to be market manipulation (ie screwing over its clients) by Robinhood

> we shouldn't be offering our trust to any ruler over us

But that is exactly the claim I tried to summarize two comments ago as "assume malice"...

> I encourage you, prove your case that EU provides this human right.

This is a basic tenet of law: it is not forbidden, hence you are free to use encryption everywhere in the EU. QED :)

You probably want to argue that in an ideal world, the right to use encryption should be written into the EU treaties. (Another option would be the ECHR, but good luck getting Russia on board!) That might be laudable, but until such is done we seem to have to (unfortunately!) give some bit of trust to the law-makers here and ask whether or not they will actually move and introduce a law that bans encryption.

For example, someone can claim that EU lawmakers want to forbid us from eating cake. As a cake-lover I would be tempted to protest, but should I not maybe first check if the claim is actually reliable? That is what I am trying to do here. If the claim is not reliable, there might be no need to call for an amendment to the treaties to ensure cake-eating remains legal.

Let's call it Racket UI, and the practice UI Racketeering.

I mean, they get to say that infringing on intellectual property is piracy.

From Wikipedia[0]:

> However, according to the original and more specific definition, a racket or racketeering generally involves extortion or criminal coercion. Originally and often still specifically, a "racket" in this sense refers to an organized criminal act in which the perpetrators fraudulently offer a service that will not be put into effect, offer a service to solve a nonexistent problem, or offer a service that solves a problem that would not exist without the racket. Particularly, the potential problem may be caused by the same party that offers to solve it, but that fact may be concealed, with the specific intent to engender continual patronage for this party.

It fits what they're doing with "dark patterns" much better than torrenting a movie fits armed robbery on high seas.

Lockdowns seemed to work in my country early in the pandemic. But in my country many covid measures are reliant on goodwill and voluntary compliance, so if morale drops (as you'd expect with extended lockdown), you expect lockdown effectiveness to drop as well.

we're commenting on an article about how RH had to borrow billions to stay afloat AFTER they already took action to minimize their exposure. they couldve gone under, and were probably insolvent. im not exactly doing mental gymnastics here.
Are you sure? Won't markets get more efficient and the squeeze start earlier (before it gets to 100% short interest)? Surely there will be more caution on the shorters' side (and perhaps earlier exits) and faster uptake on the squeezers' side? I think this GME thing is not only unprecedented, there won't be followed by anything similar (for maybe 100 years...the Piggly Wiggly short squeeze happened almost exactly 100 years ago...)
