This is all rather off-topic, but there are several legal requirements in the UK:

* driving licence (for the driver; possible exceptions for agricultural vehicles and armed forces who sometimes employ people under 17)
* vehicle tax (for the vehicle; it's zero for some historic vehicles)
* vehicle must be registered
* MOT (vehicle is inspected annually to check it works properly)
* insurance (third-party)

https://www.gov.uk/legal-obligations-drivers-riders

I suspect the requirement for insurance applies even to driving on private land if there's any possibility of other people being around, such as if there's a right of way across the land. As a random private individual you might find it hard to get insurance for a driver without a licence and a vehicle without an MOT, but there are companies that offer driving a car round a special course as a supervised activity for children's parties ...

I've been into Sci-Fi as long as I can remember and I watched The Expanse but found it quite dull most of the time. I continued to watch it only because "it's Sci-Fi".

I feels like the actual story is quite short but is being stretched between the first and last episode with repetitive tropes. It's too bad because it does have more potential.

I don't know if I would call this system broken, it's just incentivizing things differently. It works really well for identifying unicorns, but if you're catering to a niche or if you're just unexciting, it's much harder to make it.

I think we can just do away with app reviews and the star system. Let the internet and all of its communities decide what they think of apps. I trust HN's recommendations for apps more than I do the App store ratings, or some random tech blog, or even reddit. Most people have sources they trust way more than the rating systems, so might as well just do away with it.
I think I understand where you're coming from now.

You're saying that even although both parties are happy with the trade they made, when one party is a professional and the counter-party is an amateur, the amateur is likely misguided and has a much higher chance of getting the worse end of the deal.

That seems very likely to be true and applies to much more than just stock market options. Salary negotiations have that imbalance of knowledge/power as well. Probably even dating follows that pattern if one partner is much more experienced than the other.

Is that a fair characterization of your argument?

I don't actually see a problem here though - I mean it's pretty obvious professionals beat amateurs at just about anything. I don't think we would want to make rules to prevent the amateurs from playing the game. There are already some rules to restrict access to e.g. margin, naked options trading by amateurs - are you saying we should have more regulations and restrictions on the little guys for their own protection?
Its funny how people don't see the $100,000+ portfolio losses (and much less often, gains) all over that subreddit and don't immediately realize that a ton of the people who visit it are Wall Street finance people. That's seriously the meme among the people only secondarily connected with WSB; its not "autists" or "the vox populi", its wall street bros (WSB?) who have to spend all day being super serious at their job, and WSB is their way of letting off steam.

And if you think that these firms weren't already feeding every single post and comment on reddit into their HFT algorithms, you better at least believe that after this whole thing, they're gonna be doing that, and adding some extra weight to `if subreddit === "wallstreetbets"`.

From that point of view, WSB is rather icky; its people who know what they're doing (most of the time) subtly and anonymously impersonating an idiot to influence the actual idiots.

Correct. I'm sorry you had to go through what you went through (and I'm sorry you have cancer and have to deal with that too, I saw your post upthread about that). I wish you the best, and I will leave it at that.
yes, a customer hates fake reviews and counterfeit goods, the problem is you don't know its fake and counterfeit before buying. So it works reliably to get the buyer to buy, but it does not work reliably to make the buyer happy with what they bought. As a general the exact opposite.
I have to agree with you on Discovery. The characters are really unlikeable. The actors aren't good or at least, not at their best (I absolutely adore Michelle Yeoh, but she really doesn't shine here). The storylines are absurd, but that's par for the course for this kind of TV show -- it's the characters which really break this. The main character Michael is almost insufferable.

There's also that hilarious moment in S2 where a supporting character dies and everyone goes "oh no, she was my best friend!" and gets a teary send-off, but we -- the audience -- barely knew her and she didn't really speak with anyone and there was no evidence she was actually friends with anyone before.

When, the media, brokers, clearing houses, or hedge funds disagree with you, that means they're obviously conspiring.

When the media, celebrity-billionaires, politicians, other hedge funds, and early investors support you, that's confirmation that you were right. There's no way they could be motivated by other incentives like money or free publicity.

These narratives don't even appear to be mutually exclusive. Both can be true. Neither can be true. Several other unstated narratives can also be true. I think it's a common fault to believe only one thing can be true, when there are clearly many possibilities. I don't think it's exactly a false choice, but I'm sure there's a name for it.

It just bugs me when people don't consider that, and it's hard to tell if they're speaking in bad faith, have poor logical deduction skills or something else.

I don't think we're disagreeing. Looking at this as the worst case, GameStop has 5 years of cash flow to transform their brand - as they should. And this is only for a single aspect of their business.

its bleeding on to HN as well. Just take a look at my comments that criticize their conspiracy theory.

> I'd be hesitant to view marriage as a financial partnership though.

Acknowledging the problems with the contract requires looking at the realities of the contract.

The reality of that contract is that it has financial components and financial consequences, which are assumed to scale linearly, when that’s not true. Someone “having your back” could just as arbitrarily be worth 10% of assets or a retainer or a monthly rate. The point being that starting at 50% and working down is just as arbitrary. I would say it would not actually scale infinitely, just as much as a key salaried employee does not have compensation that scales proportionately to the earnings of that corporation.

I absolutely do not care about how these comparisons make you feel as that is completely a product of conditioning. This is still a flawed contract, lets acknowledge that it is a flawed contract whether your line in the sand is “cant put a price on” or something else.

I use LibreOffice Calc a couple of times a year for personal use. At work I have to use Excel. I donate a small sum to The Document Foundation (which develops and publishes LibreOffice) every year.

I have a few longstanding disagreements with the state of the application and its development approach over the years. The first is that the application loads slowly, but that's not quite as bad as the other gripes I have. The UI is quite ugly with poor fonts, cluttered (and ugly) menubar icons, not a well designed layout, etc. (on Windows and macOS). The fact that Calc uses keyboard shortcuts that aren't anywhere close to what Excel uses (even the Excel/Office 2003 version that's before the Ribbon Menu days) makes using Excel knowledge and Excel muscle memory for keyboard shortcuts quite useless when switching to Calc. For years, I've encountered some strange copy paste bugs in Calc where it doesn't seem to get the clipboard contents from the OS. If these were resolved, I'd be very thrilled to recommend it to others.
> Reagan famously was paid around $10 million after his presidency to give some speeches in Japan. He got rid of car import quotas.

Yeah, it's a huge probelm with Cassandra.

The 4.0 version of cassandra is finally doing the smart thing and spinning up separate threads dedicated to sets/shards of hash ranges held by a node.

Fair point about the non-standardization. Read somewhere that the Sanatani corpus/philosophy is the Linux of religions, which I thought was quite apt. Namaste.

So feedly tells you how many subscribers they have when they hit your feed. That's neat of them.

I think perhaps a bigger issue is that, presumably their audience is "people who currently like AAA games with huge graphics requirements", which are going to be "core gamers". Which are perhaps some of the most notoriously hard to please people in the world (I say this with some amount of love). And they take tremendous pride in their hardware (see: pc building subreddits, pcmasterrace, etc) and companies (nvidia, alienware, evga, msi, asus, etc) take great pains to market to them because they can sell to them at great markups just for making build quality a bit better than the usual dreck you find at Best Buy and slap on a bunch of alien heads and LEDs (again, I say this with some amount of love).

So I think the existing market is going to be really hard to crack for a lot harder-to-unseat reasons than just "it's a better experience" (which they can't provide anyway!). These people aren't cost-sensitive (generally) and will generally have pretty decent, dedicated hardware.

So I can only conclude that they're hoping to create a market of people who don't currently play AAA games due to cost or space constraints.

Which is consoles.

So yeah, I really don't know where they're going with this.

why is it more complicated than buying a water bottle off Amazon or a Netflix subscription?

It's not. This is one of those "tell me what happens when you navigate to a URL" interview questions. What really happens when you order something off Amazon? Is there a float? Is there delayed settlement? Does Amazon at some point have to settle with another party? And the answer to all of those questions is "yes". We could continue to deconstruct your analogy, but I think the point is made.

Sibling comment made an analogy to buying a car. I believe if one really tore into the question, one might find that just about the only financial transaction that doesn't work with many similarities to the stock market is handing a fiver to the clerk at your local convenience store. (And someone that knows more about retail than I do can tell me how wrong I am about that.)
Yeah, prior to this meme, AMC was considered an acquisition target.
> it is working so poorly for average investors

Is it? I've heard a lot of talk like this. The last decade has been spectacular in the markets. I know plenty of average investors who've outperformed the S&P by investing in tech, TSLA, etc. Real estate is on fire. I think a lot of average people are in dire straights right now, while a lot of average investors are doing quite well. And then there are the top 0.1+% who are doing disproportionately well, perhaps that is the larger source of the problem?
I think you missed the position this fund took, which I think was to bail out amc with a "distressed debt agreement" for shares, which they then used to make a killing. So, to me it sounds like it's really that long hedge funds profited from shorts and reddit investors were taken along for the ride if they had good timing. Shorts still "got rekt" and the people who helped bail out AMC were rewarded.
I agree, S03 was awesome, but I'm finding I like S05 even more. I'm really sorry to see Bezos cancel it after next season. I was hoping for many more.

I would't call it perfectly fine. It's still not trustworthy enough. You would certainly want to double check it, which in turn makes it rather unnecessary in the first place.
Most people do not stop as often as their doctors would tell them to. For medical reasons you should stop often. (experts don't seem to agree on exactly what the right amount is, but for discussion lets call it 5 minutes out of every hour). Note that the stop is to move around, if you sit on a toilet for that time it doesn't count.

Many people will stop only for fuel every 3 hours, and try to get everything they need to do (restroom, buy snacks, eat...) in the amount of time it takes the pump to fill the tank. This isn't a good idea, but it is what people in the real world do.
I used to run an iOS testing-as-a-service thing. Few of our customers came close to the App Store limits. The ones that did were games and they are definitely not looking to optimize apps for the long term. We did have some unicorn customers but they weren't doing 2GB downloads, for the reasons you mention.

So how many customers could this startup conceivably get? Unless you're a game with lots and lots of graphical assets, you have to be the kind of company with more ability to employ developers than to coordinate them (i.e. a unicorn).

It's also a moving target as limits are continually revised upwards. I assume they have done some diligence about their TAM, but I don't get understand the plan just yet.
There's two possible positions here. Either the sums that Yellen is charging are so insignificant as to not influence her, in which case a pay cut shouldn't change anything for her, or the sums are appropriate for her in which case by definition they are an influence.

Back in the 90s I had to do some on-the-spot coding to fix a problem on a SGI machine using an ancient green terminal of some kind. It worked, but the keyboard lacked curly braces {} so I used trigraphs[1] for the first and last time.

The fact it worked at all is pretty impressive. There was even a termcap entry for the ancient and crusty terminal.

The use case seems quite different, but my solar watch uses a (super?)capacitor to buffer the energy delivered by the solar cells. When fully charged, it can run for more than a year in the dark (i.e, you can go beyond the polar circle without worrying that your watch will go belly-up in the middle of the polar night). Which is to say, existing capacitors are already darned good at retaining charge. I'd assume the tech described in the article has charge retention “good enough” for the intended use case.
