I can't think of a recent time so many retail investors have been so directly taken advantage of as they've been during GME. (note the words recent and directly)

This was bigger than retail, but SEC should go after the people who started the pump and dump, even if they're small.

Yup, freelance software dev here, and I've been that consultant before for a large healthcare company. They had a new VP and he wanted to make changes to the app and org but needed a report from an external consultant to CYA. He already knew what he wanted the report to say and was not subtle on it. I talked to a couple people in the org, wrote a quick report basically signing off on his plan, and got paid handsomely. Thankfully, what he wanted to do was IMO correct, but the whole thing was ridiculous. They tried to bring me back to lead the dev team but I wasn't super interested in dealing with those politics.
2021 might be the end of the sharing economy as we know it
This reminds me of something that happened to my brother's Tesla the last time I saw him. He purchased a new Tesla about a year ago.

He normally lives in an area where winter temps are at a low of 40 F (~5 C). He came to visit, an I live in an area where temperatures routinely go above and below the freezing point of water. I also live in a very humid environmant (close to a large body of water).

My brother plugged in his Tesla overnight to charge, and the morning he was suppoed to leave, the charger would not come out. After after 15 minutes of searching online for a fix, it turns out that it is surprisngly common that the charger was frozen into the charger! Thankfully, we had a hair dryer and were able to unfreeze it.

I share this story because I an frankly surprised that for buying a new tesla, something like that was not tested and/or accounted for, and frankly makes me worry about buying one, because I wonder what else they do not test/account for.

That is insane.

I love my iPad and have used them in research for over 10 years. But I also have kids. It should be illegal to purchase glass tablets for education.

If Apple wants the education business, they should release a plastic touch screen version with a plastic backing (kids throw things, they can cut people in fights).

It’s sad when wealthy parents with too much time on their hands join these decision making committees and end up fighting for large corporations; and in this case, hurting the poor.
> Oh and ppl like you are just cheap "brains" to give the optics of credentials for this sordid affair.

100% whataboutism, and I'm not defending the OP or McK, but I wonder what you think of the PhD "brains" hired at Google that end up being in charge of implementing a menu in Google Carplay.

What are they?
You are missing the fact that most undersea cables get tapped multiple times. Five Eyes normally inspects the data on land, but enemies will do undersea taps.

While a cable is being tapped, there will be a suspicious change in signal strength, and various signal reflections will tell the cable operators where the tap is. Thats bad for a spy agency who want to remain undetected.

Instead, they break the cable in three points deliberately. The middle point is where they put the tap, and the spy agency will repair it. The points either side are simply so that the cable operators don't know where the tap has been inserted, and have to be repaired by the cable operator. That gets expensive, since it will typically happen 3 or 4 times for a new cable install (3 or 4 countries want access to the data).

Cable repair operations are typically public knowledge (they require specialized ships), so anyone who fancies can crunch the data and see how often a cable breaks in multiple places before being repaired to know how often it's tapped... Mediterranean cables seem to see the most taps.
That’s the idea, yes. But it should be pretty obvious that it doesn’t work, for the same reasons QE doesn’t. Because banks can’t actually ‘loan out from reserves’ to their customers (they can loan reserves to other banks, but can’t to anyone who doesn’t have an account with the central bank). It actually can’t be made to work in terms of accounting operations. The role of reserves is settling transfers, so the bank obviously needs to have them as part of the process, but that happens later, after the loan is written (which creates the asset (loan) and liability (deposit) on the bank’s balance sheet). So having excess reserves doesn’t really increase the bank’s ability to extend more loans anyway, and taxing reserves just makes the bank want to buy more equities to get a positive rate.

There's reason to doubt that. A lot of Trump's support was rural, and a lot of immigrants are farm laborers.
Taking a step back, McKinsey can exist in it's current form, as a nurse for these elderly giants, because of the lack of anti-trust.

If we had real competition, there would be more money to be made knocking the giants down than trying to keep them in their walker.
Well if you listen to some Tesla fanatics including boss man Elon himself, traditional car companies carry too much baggage from their ICE platforms to transition to EVs successfully, so all this “experience” they have is a net drag.

Meanwhile outside the Tesla/Musk bubble, traditional car companies do not have QC issues like Tesla’s and are even outselling Tesla in major EV markets like Europe.

At least Musk is finally admitting to the QC issues.

Iteration on actual real products and factories takes a long time. I think people who mostly deal with software forget that very easily.
100% agree, an elegant solution to anti-trust would be prohibition on exclusive API access for any add-on products (watch, airplay, etc). I'm not that worried about the AppStore as an end-user as I like knowing I'm not downloading malware, that they are enforcing strong privacy requirements etc, but if I want to buy a non-Apple watch it should have complete compatibility with Apple Fitness, otherwise there's zero room for an honest case to be made that there isn't an abuse of dominance in one area (iOS/iPhone) to create dominance in another (wearables).
My excuse for longing for something non-CRA is updating an existing frontend to React piece by piece. To integrate it with the existing Django app’s asset pipeline, I kind of had to eject and now my Webpack configuration and its dependencies are completely out of control. I am considering starting over with another tool chain, copying the existing components to the new structure. Replacing the whole thing with a new SPA would not have been feasible.
Oh, Yahoo and running things into the ground... somebody could write a book about it.
Many details have been published in the media. For instance:
"Documents filed in U.S. courts last year outlined how McKinsey discussed ways for Purdue to “turbocharge” sales of its drug OxyContin, including paying Purdue’s distributors a rebate for every OxyContin overdose attributable to pills they sold."

Chamath's trying to build a persona of someone who cares about social issues. I'm not surprised to see this, he was always a fraud in my eyes. A lot of people can lose money because of him. I cannot believe billionaires like him and Mark Cuban tell retail investors to hold GME. Even if they are right, don't they think they have some responsibility given their influence as successful business people?

And don't even get me started on the biggest troll of all, mr. Musk. But at least he's not trying to hide behind some fake persona.

Some of 'em. Depends on who you ask. It's bad for business in a global economy.
Short sell researchers aren't new. Their business model is to raise awareness to possible fraud for profit. They've had hits, recently for example, Luckin Coffee, and Nikola. I would assume anyone participating in the markets also knows to take what they say with a grain of salt.

Your claim that they have a position in this case was incorrect, because you can't be bothered to read what you're commenting on, and that's probably why you're downvoted.

I hadn't heard of this! Thank you! My VSCode experience is primarily "VSCode" (not Codium) w/ the MS Remote extensions and looking at code-server for its more unique capabilities. Definitely going to look into this and adopt it where I can.

FYI, it looks like the code-server devs have some concerns about # of extensions and matching the MS market: https://github.com/cdr/code-server/issues/1473 . I'm not too worried about that for myself though.
I really appreciate the short sellers in market actually. They balance the excess positivity in the market.

if I work for or own shares of a public company, I love those guys to look into the company I work for. If they find out that my employer is cooking the books, they have done a massive service for me.
Google kills a lot of shit, but comparing VideoLAN to Stadia is bogus on many levels. VideoLAN is literally UI on top of ffmpeg that grew slowly over time. Stadia is an entirely new platform stuffed into a zillion data centers to keep latency low. Compare stadia to Virtual Boy or Jaguar or Betamax.

If no one downloads VideoLAN for a year they won't burn a bunch of money, but also they had no chance at fundamentally changing the way people watch videos.
Opioids pretty much sell themselves. You just need permission to sell them more loosely.
This inspired me to install --HEAD which I have been considering doing for a while.
vouched this because it more or less matches my experience as a server. also want to second this point. do not "protest tipping" by refusing to tip employees who expect at least 15% to make ends meet. you're not making a point; you're just screwing over some random person.

also this ties into something that a lot of people don't seem to take into account when arguing for abolishing tipping. servers tend to like tipping. they don't enjoy the behavioral pressure, but they generally believe (correctly or not) that they make more money with tipping than they would in a counterfactual world without.

Of course you can. See, for example, the Lambda switch. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambda_phage#Induction Yeast modifies its own DNA by copying one of two passive templates into an active region to switch its own internal mating state.

Viruses integrate into the human genome, then decay and eventually become fodder for new regulatory regions and genes.

During human life, your genome is mutated, and your body repairs it, sometimes making mistakes, which are permanent (and passed down to your children if it happens to the germ line).

Yeah, if "simply carrying out orders" is not an appropriate defence then "simply given advice on orders" isn't either. Both are caught in the gravitational field of the guilt of the person in the middle.
Double virtual dispatch is the core goal of the visitor pattern. If you don't have two families of types and subtypes (different subtypes of visitors and different subtypes of expressions), there are much simpler alternatives to the Visitor Pattern even in something like Java.

In particular, if you have a single closed sum type, function overloading is the best way to handle distinctions. If you want it to be open, single virtual dispatch is a common option.

It's only when you get two different sum types, with one or both being open, that you start benefitting from the visitor pattern.
Whose fault are all these “hard” negatives you keep citing? Why are they not universal?

the idea would be that learned behavior which is not genetically encoded is instead passed down in the form of specifically structured information molecules.
Nit:

"Effect" is an Entity, a noun. They both start with "E."

"Affect" is an Action, a verb. They both start with "A."

Effect is sometimes used as a verb, especially in bureaucratese, but not in the way you're using it.

There’s a difference between a criminal and civil case.

Crimes are boolean, civil is proportional in terms of punishment. Nobody is going to jail, so this is a civil case.

I've gotten enough upvotes here (4) that I feel I need to ~~ruin~~ explain the joke, lest HN get the idea that this is upvote-worthy in general.

This is low-effort humor. I took the comment above and replaced words with memes from anime, tech, and earlier in this conversation thread. There's no (intentionally) meaningful relation between rem and Rem, or the number 6, I was just pattern matching things that sounded similar. Basically the equivalent of an "I hardly know her" joke. Funny only for the meme value, and not what I come to HN for.

In this particular thread, ^^that^^ is the joke — that we mistake unrelated comments as meaningful replies.

I suppose, it could also have been a bunch of 20 somethings pushed to the brink of total exhaustion forced to come up with ways to "mitigate" certain "business risks" and "enhance" positioning.
The "cancer" is not that there is demand and willing buyers for consulting services, but shareholders, executives, media etc. running a very self-referential and reinforcing environment.
Effectively, you will present "solutions" (for a lack of a better word) that you know that the a company knows that you expect the company to expect to see... (institutional isomorphism is a strong force)

Absolutely agree. But to be fair, the problems started with the appointment of useless political cronies as heads of these organisation's, who then used the consultants to help themselves with paybacks, commissions and corrupt deals.
As a person you are surely good, as an employee of that organization you are a tool to extract as much money as possible from your client and most often than not the person who hired you guys should be fired for having done so. As a 20-something year old generalist you are in no position to be giving "advice" (especially at the rate you charge) considering that "business is hard".

It's really tiring to constantly hear how people or organizations with deep pockets can "settle" things by handing over money. Nothing will ever change until either some high level people go to jail or the company goes to jail (as in suspending its business for a while). Or make the fines outrageously high so it really hurts the company and not just as a small part of their profits.
> Compared to other nations, the US has the least restrictive immigration laws. The US also benefits by bordering Canada with some of the most restrictive immigration laws. If you want to go where there is growth, there's no other option

I thought Canada was far easier. I knew a software engineer who, about 15 years ago, got the Canadian equivalent of a green card as a "backup" without ever having actually lived there, in case she had problems with her US immigration. It sounded like a box ticking exercise, though this person had two masters degrees (IIRC, the second was to keep her status since she graduated from the first into a recession).
can someone explain how this works? or where I can learn more about this.
I feel like the folks who have a reputation along the lines for "just tells it like it is" are just as likely to make some horrible / wrong statements as well.

It seems like the impulse to just speak some blunt truth is as likely to be off the target as on.

"We can never criticize something unless we can contemplate the totality of it" isn't constructive or helpful and has (from my interpretation) the net effect of stating the the status quo is fine. Is that what you're contending?

Firms like McKinsey, for reasons of trade secrets, confidentiality wrt their client book, discretion because of the nature of their work, etc don't have data available about the completeness of their outcomes. In fact, their white papers focus exclusively on successes. What about instances where their contribution has a not-zero impact (we could even include and offset the cost of their consultations against the total impact of advise offered, assuming it's followed)? Do you have a proposal for how to conduct such an analysis?

Furthermore, I would offer that much of the nature of their impacts isn't something we can know with mathematical precision and exists in the realms of the social sciences (a broad domain known to have major skew problems when measurements are taken, if at all).

So we are left with optics and moral/ethical assessments of the work they have done. Taking this into account, I am content with this approach and the conclusions I have arrived at.
I'm sorry, you are right :(

You can be effective at selling opiates to people, but then end up in an investigation for selling them illegally and thus neutralising any of the revenue you had initially brought with fines for doing so illegally. Here's no effect.

Of course a lot of brutal strategies work well in environments which do not expect them. However trusted environments are often more efficient.
Many love it, many hate it, and many are indifferent to it.
Yeah I think the angst against short-selling is misguided. It serves a very important function in market price discovery.
Very cool ^_^
Not sure what you mean by "hops" here? The current beta sats mostly act as "bent pipes", where they relay directly between user terminals and ground stations which then go to out to the regular net from there. But the final deployment sats are intended to have free space optical links between satellites (these are currently deployed and testing on the most recent polar orbit ones), so a connection can go entirely through the mesh in space until it reaches the nearest physical ground station (probably with some weighting for congestion and priority of course). The orbital RTT penalty will only be paid once, and with tens of thousands of sats the optical route will actually be much more direct for many people when crossing oceans than going through whatever undersea fiber links there are. Compared to regular fiber, final Starlink will definitely win on latency over sufficient distances.

But Starlink will never match the bandwidth and reliability that fiber can do, nor is it meant to. So it's not a replacement, just another awesome option.

I share your pain there, Teams is painfully slow especially the browser version. The native version for Windows is an improvement but it still suffers and the version for linux is just an electron app which is as slow as the webapp.
