The salient aspect here is what they're using them for: to drive the price down or up.

If I place a bet on the direction of the price pegged to a given type of rock, then borrow millions of those rocks from you, then trade those rocks back and forth with my buddies to create the illusion of demand momentum (linked to an artificial price pattern going down or up)...I can swing the price pegged to that rock. So the rock could still be cashed in for whatever price it's pegged to, but that doesn't mean I didn't mess with that price. (would take massive amounts of capital obviously)

I'm also not sure if there's any way to tell if it's only being lent out once. Since futures contracts are even more abstract than stock ownership (i.e. have the option to possibly purchase blocks of shares in the future or just scrap the contract altogether), there's probably ways to create value by taking on risk in the form of overextending the appearance that you have access to a security at a certain price.

I don't see how this could ever be as reliable as an airliner for passenger service as SpaceX has been talking about. An airliner can land safely with no engines and even no landing gear if necessary (and it sometimes is).

I recall almost from the beginning that they said wear clothe masks even if made from an old tee shirt so that medical personal could have the limited PPE, NO ONE said "don't wear a mask because it does nothing" . Clearly that never happened, not ever, except in various "the virus is a hoax" online platforms. Some initial people said 6 ft distance was enough if not wearing a mask. I have been following this as close as anyone since the beginning aside from medical professionals.

For what it's worth, and just from a quick search, "CREW: A Weeding Manual for Modern Libraries" is pretty unambiguous about the subject of local history and mentions that items like that should be kept as a specific exception to any other metrics or guidelines several times: "Retain local history except when the item is shabby and beyond repair." -- https://www.tsl.texas.gov/ld/pubs/crew/

Rapid7 acquires Kubernetes security startup Alcide for $50M
It's not like Russia embarked on a massive project of vaccinating 150 million people in November. The manufacturing capacity was not yet there.

The vaccine underwent Phase I and II safety trials, and was thought to be safe. Russia than began directing the limited quantities being manufactured towards at-risk health care workers, while they ran efficacy trials.

There's nothing magical, or ordained by God that says we must run an efficacy trial with 30,000 individuals. By early January, Russia had only administered a couple hundred thousand doses.

In retrospect, it's highly likely this would have been the correct approach in all vaccines so far in use. In the middle of a pandemic, there's a very strong argument that should be vaccinating as quickly as possible after Phase II trials are complete, before waiting for a long-running efficacy trial. As you said, efficacy trials are not testing for safety. There's already a huge risk to individuals and to society from the virus itself.

> I’m using (except for firefox) 100% Qt applications under Ubuntu Budgie (which is a bit like elementary but with Wayland support).

If your only non-Qt application was Firefox, what was your problem under X11? Certainly for me having to switch to Gnome's WM/panels/etc. much would be more disruptive than switching browsers. (You might find Firefox valuable enough to be worth switching your whole DE for, in which case fair enough, but I don't think it's an objective advantage for Wayland).

(IMO Konqueror is a much better browser, but I'm sure everyone has their own preferences)

Go meet customers, your friends, guys in a bar, kids, your parents with a bag full of iPhones the minute you can. Whatever you do, bypass IT teams that love Blackberry and have invested their time in it and like it. Talk to consumers. IT teams and the profits from having people tied to BES etc will blind you.

Make everyone watch a 20 minute video clip on both phones and ask them which was easier to use. Get them to type out XYZ thing that they hear. Give them the phones for a week and bring them back and ask them to type something else out. See how fast they can type on a screen vs keyboard. Think about what will be more useful a big screen or slightly faster typing.

Then go make a iPhone version and Mac/Windows version of Blackberry Messenger. Give it away for free on all platforms. When that's done. Expand BES to control MDM laptops.

Go find a small company that does music well, ideally one in Stockholm. Integrate their product into your phone and cross platform desktop offering. Use the cheap data deals you have for BES for music, it'll be expensive but will capture a young audience and will differentiate quickly from the iPod to iPhone leap many will make. Data plans are still expensive so driving down the cost will be helpful.

Open source the phone code early but keep the services under your control. Find whoever is running the BlackBerry Store and fire them. Then anyone else who was involved with that. Invent a Men-In-Black memory eraser and use it wisely on anyone involved with that. Find out what the cost of the iPhone app store is, undercut it and switch the model so that the first X percent of initial sales go to the developer.

Hire a couple of smart people and build a free online training course and certification to help people build apps. Treat them nicely. Give them free stuff and whatever tooling they need to build stuff. Translate it into many languages. Pick up the phone and get people from all walks of life, including dire poverty in places in Asia and Africa. Ask them what they would look for to make their life easier (hmm payments you say, hmmmm cheaper phones you say, hmmmm use BES as a sort of Free Basics). Build a decent Chinese Keyboard.

Build search into your phone.

Don't join PRISM, don't do some shady stuff in the Middle East and India about encryption.

Build you the stuff that BES can do well. Messaging turning into productivity. Expand cloud hosting. Turn messaging into something more fun and social. Use encryption as a competitive advantage in the long run. Strike a few deals with phone companies for VOIP.

Go tell the world you aren't worried about it and your main concern is Microsoft (they'll balls up mobile eventually anyway) and oh report Steve Jobs for engaging in anticompetitive contact crap for developers.

That's just one engine - much less than a 5-engine stage even on a test stand, not to say about flying.

And combustion instabilities they were fighting were rather novel at the time, the engineers basically had no other options than to test a lot of variants - and invent debugging techniques with "bombs in the chamber" along the way. Fortunately it worked - low pressure of F-1 helped to mitigate problems of size.

Zero Server – Zero configuration web framework
A couple years ago I relocated a piece of driftwood from my small backyard to the front yard because a carpenter bee couple had taken up residence in it and the male was routinely dive-bombing us in the backyard (they don't sting, but are just aggressive).

I was amazed to see that the male kept returning to the same spot for what seemed like weeks looking for its partner in the now relocated piece of driftwood. I naively had expected it to track down the piece of driftwood just 40 ft away in the front yard, and it was kind of heartbreaking to see it searching for it in desperation.

> I'd argue that the SEC policy of breaking "clearly erroneous" trades before settlement exacerbates that kind of flash crash: market-makers can't step in to prop up prices and then hedge their exposure, because their trades will be broken and their hedges won't.

I'm a bit lost on your response. Are you advocating against SEC or stock exchange intervention? Remember that trading can be halted by stock exchanges also in order to decelerate massive movements. If the settlement happens on even a by-minute increment, then there is no effective recourse for these interventions. Flash crashes are black swan events and as such there's little incentive (as of now) for companies to build safeguards against it.

> It's not a diversion, it's a genuine explanation - the collateral requirements were why RH had to impose a bunch of limits.

It's an explanation but doesn't explain why other stock brokers didn't impose the same limitations, nor why RH is tapping its credit lines. I say it's a diversion because it's an attempt to deflect blame for its own poor business practices and policies - e.g. if my server can't handle the load, I can't just say "well, if I had a faster load balancer...." to my users.

One of the foundational philosophies of typescript is that the language does not have different semantics than javascript, so that wasn't an option.
> > Russia is still more democratic than many of the US’s allies

> Russia is an authoritarian dictatorship with the same guy ruling for 21 years and counting. Which allies did you meant?

Well, compare Russia to America's ally Saudi Arabia.

In Russia, they have national elections. You can complain they are rigged, and there is some truth in that – but, anyway, at least they have them. Saudi Arabia has never had an election in its history, except for local government.

I don't think the rigging in Russia is primarily through direct election fraud (although some of that may be happening). Putin is genuinely popular with a majority of Russians, so he can win a genuine majority of votes, but he engages in manipulation of public opinion through state-controlled media to help build his popularity. Also, the system ensures that the only people allowed to run against Putin are the communists and ultra-nationalists who are unlikely to win; pro-Western/liberal candidates are prevented from running, although it is not guaranteed they'd win if they were allowed, but they possibly could give Putin some more real competition. However, if Putin's popularity were to collapse, he'd be forced to resort to more blatantly fraudulent means to stay in power, and it is possible at that point his allies who keep him in power might turn against him and he might be removed.

In Russia, they have political parties. The system is dominated by the ruling "United Russia" party, although other parties (such as the Communist Party and the ultra-nationalist LDPR) are permitted to hold around a quarter of the seats in the Duma. Again, you can complain the Duma is rigged in United Russia's favour, and that complaint may well be true, but still doing better than Saudi Arabia, where political parties are banned.

It isn't just Saudi Arabia. Other American allies in the Middle East, such as UAE, Qatar and Oman also ban political parties.
Of all the possible things that might be expected, why is a copy of the source code the thing that stands out. If it’s on my machine why shouldn’t I expect excellent documentation, or configuration support, or build help, or features as I request them? What makes the source code and only the source code the exact thing I should expect?
Or a "suit" as per the typical wall street uniform, and blonde hair?

It’s total safety that’s important not individual aspects of safety. Clearly there are many disadvantages, but when comparing it to 15 hour flights there are several advantages.

For example shorter flight times mean fewer chances for in flight human errors. Another is in flight medical emergencies can be more quickly reach a hospital. A few aircraft have been shot down which is again much less likely, etc etc.

Initially it’s going to be risky, but give it say 50 years and it might actually end up being the safest option for ultra long distance travel.
Accessibility features are almost always not worth it purely from a profit point of view. They get added because as a society we decided that everyone should go out of their way to accommodate these users because they have no choice and should not be locked out of life.

ThingImpl is better for searching and has the advantage that Thing/ThingImpl will be next to each other in an alphabetical list of your classes. It also means using the interface is more natural than using the implementation, which is usually what you want.
i am very senior architect astronaut.
it will take me some effort to computer the average of a list of numbers in c/c++ as i didn't touch those languages in many years.

from the other side, while reviewing designs (not code) of various components I can spot locations where code handles sockets incorrectly or a couple of dozen of scenarios that system will fall apart under because engineers don't think that far.

value that I bring is not in averaging list of numbers. my value is 25 years of making mistakes, learning from them and knowing how to avoid them.

Writing a basic python script:

#!/bin/python

print("hello world!")

Oh wait, /bin might not exist. It's in /usr/bin.

Wait, what even is /bin? No, it's not the recycling bin - see, it's short for binary. No, there isn't a separate directory for plaintext scripts, why do you ask?

Well surely it's a directory for user-specific programs then, right? Nope, it's read-only stuff.

Well, why not symlink it to /ro? Well, because symlinking and transitioning are too much effort, and because that's very english-language-centric of you, what about other languages where /usr and /to are random gibberish?

Well, how's other-language support then? For instance, is it possible to reliably use Korean characters in your username without a lot of programs breaking? Nah, see you're better off just writing your Korean name in english characters. Much more reliable that way.

But wait a sec, let's go back to that symlinking thing: if symlinking and migrating is too much effort, then how did we ever switch from /bin to /usr/bin? Well duh, we just symlinked /bin to /usr/bin.

Great, can we do that for /usr and /ro? Nope.

Can we please just admit that Linux's ease of use is burdened by tons of historical baggage?
