> I've never open sourced it though because I guess it's a bit of a grey area

For whatever it's worth, I do click-through RSS feeds on my blogs just because I was too lazy to set up full text feeds and figure out how stuff like video would work and whether or not it would be a better end-user experience to alter the content in some way on style-heavy pages. Right now I'm constructing the feed myself. But if someone ever wanted to use a tool like you're describing on my blogs, I would have no objection. Don't feel guilty about scraping a site I build or building tools to do so, if anything it would make me feel less guilty about never getting around to setting up full-text RSS feeds. :)

I don't run ads or analytics anyway, but even if I did, as far as I'm concerned anyone who has the right to visit a page also has the right to download it, and to use automated tools to download it on their behalf[0].

I don't see any moral difference between using an adblocker and scraping a web page. Both are hitting the same endpoints and selectively displaying content that the user wants to see.

The ones with the levers don't worry about the cost of a house. If it is a message with a target, it goes to middle-high class (but not high enough).

I don't know where it originated, but my family uses the phrase "Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory" for things like that Super Bowl game.

After that game, I noticed the Falcons fans in my town actually seemed more into the team (central GA at the time). Some people put away their apparel, but the ones who kept it up were more invested than ever.

To be fair, part of the reason we establish rules of ethics is so that when an emergency happens, we don't just wing it and start making up the rules. Situations like this pandemic are a very good reason to revisit established rules of ethics, but using it as justification to overrule existing rules negates the entire idea of establishing rules of ethics in the first place.

That works! It helps that "plenty-of-ram" is more achievable than it used to be, also.
Yeah it's probably better to use something like k*k < n as a stopping condition. Though that one uses requires some additional calculation per step. I've once tried to fix that part by using the (usually discarded) result of `n div k` to determine when k < sqrt(n). I couldn't get it to work (faster) but it was fun to try.
> It sounds like Smith was fined more than he aimed to save.

That might be true in absolute terms, but saving the money at the time likely enabled him to grow his wealth faster, putting him in a better position now, even accounting for repayment, than he otherwise would have been.

Companies do this all the time when they take on debt. Having the money now, even if you need to repay it layer, lets you grow fast, and the longer you can put off repayment, the more you can compound your gains.
Thanks, I'll give them a try.

The answer is transparency: in a cryptographic decentralized system you still have human interactions, but they are in the open (in most systems) and can be verified. This is better than relying on gossiping alone.
Why do you try to get personal? As said before, I don't care about when to sell or buy, my financial interest in it is way too low too care about it. I just think it's interesting and try to learn from it ( that's the only reason why I even bought a little, to keep me interested).

What's your formula to state a lack of people holding vs. the amount of shorts that were outstanding?

I don't see how you can easily come to that conclusion with 139% shorts outstanding at a certain moment.

If the amount of shorts were lessened to 50%, which we'll know on 9 February i can agree.

But I can't know for sure now and i want to know with what logic "you can" be sure.

Edit: Yes, I'm suggesting that there are "possibly" still a large amount of shorts and that I can't know till 9 February to see what could happen.

If the amount of shorts is low, than GME will continue to drop to a normal value.

If it's high, it depends on when the shorts were initiated, so it's still unclear then.

There's just a higher possibility to dismiss a potential squeeze on the 9th of February.

So I'm looking for additional info why people can already dismiss this reasoning.

Edit 2: ( can't reply on your comment)

I agree, there's a lot of uncertainty in it... A lot of "unknowns" for now.

I'm just careful dismissing it as a pure meme though. Since I can't fully dismiss it as such and I'm open to additional info surrounding this ( hence my original question).

Conspiracies happen so frequently on Wall St that “conspiracy theories” should be closer to a priori assumption than irrational fringe ideas.

Were people skeptical of Moodys A+ ratings of subprime mortgages conspiracy theorists? And that’s far from the only example of financial fraud . There’s a lot of money at stake.

Citadel is most of Robinhoods revenue, they put money on the opposite side of the trade via Melvin, and Robinhoods decision to restrict trading benefited the short position of the trade . The stock markets been around for over a century and online trading around over 20 years, with many volatile stocks and bubbles, yet restricting trading in one direction has no precedent. The conflict of interest Robinhood had is crystal clear and at a minimum calls for a deep investigation. Accepting their PR, which has barely explained anything is about as far from rational as possible. They described the collateral requirements as “opaque” and “pretty technical” with no real clarity, and never explained other details such as why they restricted fully cleared non-margin cash accounts or why they removed tickets from their search bars.

I’m not saying with any confidence there was foul play, but there’s more than enough conflict of interest and unprecedented behavior to call for an investigation far more than what we’re getting. Especially with regards to who was buying when so many retail traders were unable to.

Financial markets should be open and transparent. They are not supposed to be casinos with arbitrary hedge funds playing the house. To resign yourself to that idea is far more irrational than calling for openness and investigation into the many unanswered questions around what happened.
It is a near certainty that hedge funds fleeced retail investors who bought GME above $100/share. The real problem with WSB is not the people who post there, it is the large crowd of unsophisticated lurkers who overestimate their own knowledge and abilities. The media did not help by hyping this story and making it sound like "Wall St." was terrified by a mob of Redditors. Two hedge funds lost some money, but as many have pointed out, those funds will probably still turn a profit on the year. Meanwhile, a bunch of hedge funds, algos, and prop traders are raking in cash from the spike in volatility, and a bunch of HFTs took advantage of the spike in volume. I expect a small bump in sports car and yacht sales in the NYC region as a bunch of "Wall St. bros" spend the giant bonuses they are taking home from this whole episode.

As to the scam aspect, I give it a 50/50 chance that someone saw an opportunity to pump-and-dump some symbols with very high short interest. I doubt it was a hedge fund, it was probably an individual, probably someone living outside the reach of US law enforcement. The alternative is that a bunch of idiots actually came up with the idea that they could take on "Wall St." and managed to trigger a short squeeze, many of whom have yet to realize that the party's over.

There are already ultracapacitors used for high short term power draws. There's a nice motorcycle prototype which uses ultracapacitors to boost acceleration.[1] The Lamborghini Sian uses the same trick.

The article says the energy storage is "mostly capacitive", so it's reasonable to compare this with ultracapacitors.

I think you see that pattern in a lot of subcultures that glorify destructive and reckless behavior. Look at hard drug subreddits, like /r/stims, or binge drinking fraternity culture, or that Facebook group where everyone points loaded guns at their crotch.

Participants will willingly acknowledge that the behavior is destructive or reckless. But they do so in a way that glorifies it. "Woah, I totally blacked out again last night. So crazy. High Five". When the most self-destructive member receives the most attention that acts as a pretty powerful incentive.

Humans are social animals. And the way most of us avoid bad decisions day-to-day is to look at our peer group and think "would this be something that a normal, respectable person would do". When you create a subculture filled with self-destructive people, it normalizes and encourages self-destructive behavior, even when people rationally know they shouldn't be engaging in it.

Make isn't great, but if you look at the opensource world the vast majority of the large projects are make based. The backbone of your average distro is a thin layer on top of what is mostly automake/autoconf in the individual projects. That is because while I can create a toy project that builds with make in a half dozen lines, big projects can extend it to cover those odd edge cases that break a lot of other "better" build systems. Particularity, when a project starts including a half dozen different languages.

So, while i'm not a make fan, I'm really tired of people pissing on solutions (c also comes to mind) that have been working for decades because of edge cases or problems of their own creation because they don't understand the tool.

A well understood tool is one where people know where the problems lie and work around them. Most "perfect" tools are just project crashing dragons hiding under pretty marketing of immature tooling.
Apple and Google have kept a stranglehold on the mobile app distribution market for over a decade now. Apple takes 15% to 30% of all revenue generated, and they still end up running their app store like this.

What we need is real competition in the mobile app distribution market. Surely companies can compete on efficiency with that 15-30% cut, or less, and the benefits of that competition will be passed on to users and developers who aren't just Apple.

Agreed.

We made two decisions early on: xterm is the only terminal protocol, and UTF-8 is the only encoding. This has spared us unending amounts of pain, because we don't abstract over these things. There is a bit of divergence between xterm implementations, but for what we do, not much: if you want to print images there are a few strategies, none of them universal, and the closest (sixel) isn't great imho.

We've also found that, with a modern terminal, a lot of what curses brings to the table isn't necessary. While we did divide the terminal up into zones, and only repaint changed zones, we shouldn't have bothered: as long as you hide the cursor when you start a paint, and show it after you put it back, filling the entire screen with a complex/colorful xterm pattern happens within one refresh, so no flicker.

There is certainly no need to calculate a minimal delta change and only print that, on a reasonably modern system (anything from the last ten years will do).
1. Online crowdsourced ratings can't be trusted anywhere. Not in the App Store, not on Amazon, etc. They're just too easy to game. The role of reviewing products was always best done by the professional news media.

2. The App Store was based entirely on the iTunes Music Store, and that's an extremely bad model for selling software. There are "bad" songs in the iTunes Music Store, but that's largely a matter of personal musical taste, and none of the songs are scams, because iTunes is not an open system where anyone can pay $99 for a "music developer" account and submit songs. The music for sale there was all written by legitimate professional musicians.

Moreover, music customers generally don't need technical support, or refunds, except maybe in the case of a mistaken purchase. The ratings and reviews for songs are mainly about taste, not evaluating whether the song "works correctly". And songs are generally quite cheap, so you're not going to lose much money buying a "bad" song.

This entire model is simply not appropriate for software. If an app doesn't work right, the customer needs technical support, and if it still doesn't work right, then the customer needs a refund. There should be exactly 0 apps in the App Store that are scams or don't work at all. Ratings and reviews are not a good way to "police" this. Every song in the iTunes Music Store "works", in the respect that it plays the expected music when you press play.

The iTunes Music Store doesn't need to be curated much by Apple, because the music is already "curated" by the record labels. Same with the TV shows and movies for sale there, "curated" by the Hollywood studios. But there's no such thing for apps, and that's why the crap store is full of scams. The record labels and movie studios have large amounts of time and money invested in each of their products. This is not true of Apple's App Store, where each app gets maybe a 20 minute review, which is almost nothing in comparison.

Im a podcast/youtube addict, yet I havent found a good use of youtube's RSS feed. I'd love for channels and playlists to be as simple as podcast feeds, but YT doesn't want to be a file server.

1) They block you from watching outside of youtube, so you still need the site to watch

1a) Or do a unix'y combination with youtube-dl; file management; etc

1b) Or use a service or tool that comes, gets broken, goes; (podsync, youcast)

2) Adding rss feeds one by one is tedious. Podcast Addict for android helps, but can't mark as read, and other limitations. So I still need the site to manage subscriptions

2a) There's no way to get a "my user" RSS that has all my subscriptions, even if I wanted that

3) etc etc etc.
That a small-time broker (as is Robin Hood) wouldn't have enough capital to cover a giant short-squeeze was entirely foreseeable by people who understand what it takes to successfully execute one.

Big players know that when they plan big market moves, they need to notify their brokers in advance, so the broker can prepare.

What we had here was a bunch of retail investors who are somewhat more informed than the average retail investor, but not well versed in the nuts and bolts of the maneuver they were involved in, and therefore the executed it without sufficient planning.

The author has a journalism degree, which makes the entire thing so much more ironic.
> "...that it’s ok not to wear a mask and makes it less likely for others to conform if there is a list of semi exceptions."

by your definition, that's hyper-rationalized (missing forest for trees) and exactly the kind of othering belief being highlighting: let's ignore actual risks and shared goals, and instead try to outwit those damn fools that are surely out there trying to kill us.

masks worn outside are largely for signaling (as your example admits) and self-mollification rather than infection reduction. it's unlikely that outdoor mask-wearing has reduced spread meaningfully or measurably.

but outdoor mask-wearing in turn gives us permission to not wear them at home or at private gatherings, because we've already 'done our part' against those selfish others, and this lowering of the guard in private does measurably increase spread. if you're really concerned about spread, you'd focus solely on minimizing close (<3ft) and prolonged (>15min) shared breathing indoors, not showing others outdoors how conformant and fearful you might be.

This is really more "cargo cult software engineering management".

Cargo cult software engineering is also a thing: Patterns (chosen without knowing when to use them or why). OO vs FP (picked without knowing when to use which, and why). Languages and frameworks (chosen without knowing when to use which, and why).

Low-Cost, Locally Built “Trash Trapper” for Waterways
Uh, plenty of people knew this was gonna happen with the benefit of foresight. The problem is that short-selling is a risky position because your losses are unbounded, which means that 1) it's harder to do than taking a long position, and 2) it's possible for even a correct short bet to lose money due to volatility.
They do, as far as I know Microsoft has a pretty good hold on retail. Some go with GCP but Google is less “enterprisy” for their taste in a lot of ways.

That could be a lot of money to him, but it is not a lot of money compared to what an average worker earns in a year. A probably-young guy losing $6k on a risky stock bet is not life-destroying.

Also, depending on when he bought he could actually be up. And even if he bought at the top, it would still be worth something like 40% of that.
