There are problems that cannot be solved by simply throwing money at them. Sure, invest billions in new manufacturing capacity. That capacity probably wouldn't been ready now, ramping manufacturing is hard enough, starting from scratch even harder.

This whole vaccine availability "scandal" is driving me nuts. It was clear that nobody knew which vaccine would work. It was prudent to buy all of the potential candidates.

It was also clear that there would be a ramp up phase, in each country and for each vaccine. The EU pretty much delivered on part one, sourcing. And I don't care what the press writes, 5 doses for each EU citizen regardless of age is enough.

EU member states screwed up on managing part two. And communication. I think, things will tun smoother once we have a vaccine that can be handled and used by every doctors practice. That supply chain works for millions of vaccinations every year. Before that, it is hit and miss.
Would that improve faith in the markets and government?

I don't think so. I think this is a way to hold quote unquote liberals to a higher standard than everyone else.

Welp, as a user of Xorg I'm fine with what I have. You seem to be playing on both senses of Xwayland both being Xorg and not being Xorg, but Xwayland will continue to be irrelevant to me.

You say "now or never" but I've no idea what you're talking about. Your reply makes zero sense. If there's any trouble in the future, I'm sure someone will step up, as I said.
Author sounds insufferable. Getting into an argument with a stranger and being a dick.

The first is a trivial item, the second an item of zero marginal cost that doesn't matter if payment fails.

A better example is settlement time of a car or house. If you buy a car maybe you can drive away today, but it takes a while before your ownership is fully registered.
I was sitting at that table during that conversation. I'm sorry to hear that Leondro's experience was not a good one, but he does not speak for everyone that was there, he may have felt uncomfortable but he cannot speak for the others.

To paint a whole community based on those interactions is completely unwarranted. There are political issues within the Racket community as there are within any community, but they are not the ones described here.

In point of fact, because of attitudes like the one expressed by the parent certain extremely valuable, active, and long standing members of the community have ceased to participate publicly because of abuse they have received by, shall we say, new incoming "waux" participants.
> not enough to influence someone who thinks in 4 commas

According to Wikipedia, her net worth is 16,000,000. (I must be missing some commas somewhere.)

You don't think offering someone 4% of their net worth to speak for an hour could buy some influence?
There are more options than taking obscene speaking fees and being broke.
I'd rephrase that as:

"On top of financing tuition assistance and scholarship programs via the income tax you pay, your son wasn't eligible for these programs so you had to foot the bill yourself for his education"

> And for what its worth, I'd bet heavily on a random student from stanford over a random student from my undergrad being more generally competent at intellectual tasks.

I agree. But keep in mind there are outliers everywhere, and selective schools are quite small. The average at a mega-public school might be bad, but the top 10% might be on-par with a smaller more selective school, quality and number-wise.
> This may be an unpopular opinion online, but I don’t want schools picking educational tools purely on ideological criteria.

While I don't disagree with you on this, I do think they need to pick educational tools that allow open protocols.

For a couple of examples I deal with now:

- My School is all in on Google/Zoom. I cannot sign into my school account because I don't have Google Play Services on my phone (and the school disabled IMAP sign-in, so I cannot sign in it with K9 Mail). *Ironically, I can use it on my Pinephone pretty well.

- The school uses 2FA based on DUO, which does not use TOTP but their own app. I once again don't have Google Play, so I am out of luck. I also cannot use my Yubikey for desktop sign-in because I don't have chrome installed (Firefox: https://community.duo.com/t/u2f-keys-in-firefox/1987). So I am forces to use text based sign-in.

So while the idea of close app themselves do not bother me, the fact that many of these apps force closed protocols infuriates me for reasons like the aboce.

> our society is largely a result of your way of thinking

It most certainly is not. Our society refuses to respect people's right to freedom of choice in all kinds of ways. And most of those ways can't even be justified on the grounds of harm to others, which is where your big sticking point seems to be. Our society throws people in jail just for having drugs in their possession, even if they haven't harmed anyone and are not threatening anyone. The poster I originally responded to in this thread had therapy they didn't want forced on them by their family, for something they didn't even think was a problem and which certainly didn't make them a threat of harm to anyone, and our society was just fine with that. From what I can see, in your vision of the ideal society, that would be happening all over the place.

> We have yet to see how a society that advocates determinism would turn out.

Sure we have. The Soviet Union was based on ideas like the ones you are advocating. So is Communist China today. Perhaps you want to live in Communist China; if so, you're welcome to move there (unless of course you already live there). I don't.

debunked in a reddit thread. The order book simply doesn't work that way. Trading with your hedge fund buddies at an artificially low price doesn't cause the price to go down in the same way that trading with your wsb buddies at an artificially high price (eg. selling GME at $800 when the price is at $100) doesn't cause the price to go up.

We just spent 4 years having our institutions especially those related to corruption torn down by the president.

DTCC, the clearinghouse for WeBull, RH and other brokerages, recently raised the collateral requirements for GameStop transactions to nearly 100%.

When RH takes a buy order it goes to it's clearinghouse to exchange it's clients money for shares. The shares are immediately and conveniently transferred to the client, but the funds aren’t transferred for 2 days. There's this gap between the broker and the clearinghouse for these unsettled trades that the clearinghouse will require some cash upfront (margin) for but otherwise accepts exposure for the rest.

If the stock being bought is extremely volatile, expensive and has a huge amount of recent volume and therefore unsettled trades, the clearinghouse will eventually realize they are floating quite a lot more to the broker than they are comfortable with on the back of a very risky equity. GME fits all these characteristics. It's this point in the GME scenario where DTCC sets margin requirements to 100%. They tell their brokers, "Hey if you want to get GME stock from us, we will not accept your word that this trade will settle in two days. Instead we need the money upfront since we are already way too exposed to this one ticker from you."

Now, if RH wants to continue filling buy orders for it's clients it needs to come up with ALL the money for each trade. RH does not have nearly enough cash on hand to handle this, hence the recent draw down from of RH's credit lines as they try to get enough liquidity to keep buying shares for their clients. Eventually the brokers just don't have enough cash, throw in the towel and stop accepting buy orders until they can settle more trades or the clearinghouses release the margin requirements for these stocks.

The concept that RH would fuck over basically their entire user base on purpose to help a minority investor's minority investment in a hedge fund that already closed their fucking short position doesn't stand up to even the smallest amount of scrutiny. It's just a boring case of the market plumping going wild because it's not built to handle pumps of this scale.

I assume you are talking about Europe here? At least the word on the street I hear about their banking system is that transferring ~$1000 is lightyears ahead of the US in terms of speed, cost, and ease of use. BUT transferring ~$30,000 (or some cutoff) is much harder than the US and bogged down by regulations.

Do you have any personal insight into this in the EU?

How much in taxes do you have to cheat as a middle class tax payer to be investigated and tried in your mind?

In my experience (misreported some accounts due to a misunderstanding, which had a ~25% impact on what taxes I paid) the IRS sends you what you owe with a nominal penalty. I believe I paid ~5% extra. I paid it, and life went on.

I think there's a huge misunderstanding around the IRS "going after the little guy." For you to actually be convicted of tax fraud, the IRS would have to take you to court (expensive) and prove you set out commit fraud (hard to do in most cases).

At the point where this is worth it for the IRS to do, are you really 'the little guy' any more?

I'm inclined to think this is, almost entirely, a fake objection - just something people feel they have to claim about LO.

LO is really fantastically good at reading the fake standard called DOCX. In my experience, it handles it more consistently than MS Word - which is notoriously incompatible with other versions of itself.

Put it this way: I believe this class of objection when the objector links the LO bug, with a test document.

Yes, but I think Amazon differed on 2 key points.

1. You had to go through their order process, talking to someone, completing the ordering process, and then coming back to pick it up. If you live 45 minutes from the book store, that gets to be a pain.

2 You have to know the book existed. I don't think I ever really ordered a book, because for the most part, I didn't know what alternatives existed to what they offered. Amazon helped fix that. Instead of finding say one book on Python, there were a dozen on Amazon's site.

In fairness to the GP, it does seem less prevalent in the UK (either that or the reports about fake reviews are greatly exaggerated in general) but there's definitely been a few reviews here that have "smelt off" -- either before purchasing or after having received the product. And I definitely know these bribes do happen too as I know of a few people who have been contacted. All of which refused to take the money.... but please do take this anecdotal sampling with a pinch of salt.

I've found that the lack of good footnote handling in Gemini is a real pain in the rear.

Consider footnotes in a book, you see the superscript 1 or the star or the cross and you know you glance towards the bottom of the page for that content, then jump back to where you were. On books, in dense text, you can put your finger on your current location, look to the bottom of the page, read that content, then pick up where you left off.

On a screen it's harder, since going to "the bottom" involves n pages of text to be scrolled by. If I hit [End], I don't know how many [Pgup] to hit to go back.

I can hit [Pgdn] a few times and count mentally (which sucks, and takes me out of the flow), but due to the way text is flowed, reversing with an equal number of [Pgup]s will usually wind up taking me somewhere above or below where I started.

This disorientation is not desirable.

Inline footnotes on most rich text sites usually have a link directly to the footnote, and then a back link which jumps to where the note was referenced. This is the best of both worlds. I'm on board with most of the Gemini limitations, but I see this being a no-brainer addition to the protocol if not a sane client.
> I'm not advocating for a violent person to not be stopped.

You're advocating for "stopping" them by having someone else rearrange their brain so they won't be violent any more. And you refuse to acknowledge the fact that that someone else is making a choice that has consequences; to you it's all just particles reacting to their environment. Yet you also seem to think suffering is bad--but if it's all just particles reacting to their environment, there is no such thing as suffering, any more than there is such a thing as choice. So you are the one who is being inconsistent, not me.

> If it affects someone else, well, do you really care? From your answers, you seem not to care in the slightest.
