Returning Rust Iterators
the market is probably very soon going to return Gamestop to its actually reasonable evaluation, so the market didn't change.

What changed was Citadel (who is actually Robinhood's customer, not the retail investors) and Silver Lake making a bunch of money off retail investors while a lot of people who bought in at the top are going to be fleeced.

No value was created in this process or valuable information exchanged. It's basically market-makers and other hedge funds benefiting from volatility caused by a stupid hedge fund and retail investors going crazy. And the reason Robinhood wants all that real-time trade so bad is because Citadel pays them for order flow, that is their actual business, not you trading on their app.

Have you ever seen a payer demand a change from a proprietary vendor and get it? Whereas, people fork and make distros of free software all of the time.
Subreddits never return to normal after mass subscriber events. The users might not contribute, but so long as a fraction remain active on the same account, WSB posts will stay in their feed, and they will have the power to vote, and therefore dictate the content of the sub. The participating community will always be a minority, and will inevitably grow to disagree with the majority of users, nonparticipants, who simply dictate the content of the sub because of their higher voting power. The number of votes on a post always exceeds the number of unique posters in the post. I've seen it ruin several subreddits already, with easy-to-consume, low effort content swamping the frontpage.
I don’t think it was the CH’s choice. I believe the collateral requirements are set in Dodd-Frank.

And financial firms don’t go j to extended bankruptcies when they run out of cash like other companies. They immediately go into receivership and/or liquidation. Trying to play chicken with the CH would have just ended RH as a company pretty much immediately.

Let's say you currently have, for example, a few tools firing after a purchase:

fbq('pay', amount)
ga('send', { hitType: 'event', eventCategory: 'Interaction', eventAction: 'Purchase', eventLabel: amount });
...

You would replace this whole block with

zaraz.track("payment", {amount})

This would make one request go from the browser to Zaraz, and Zaraz will handle it from there. It would work without loading fbevents.js, analytics.js, and other tool-specific JS files.

For HubSpot's chat window we deliver a Facade (https://web.dev/third-party-facades/). Screen recording tools are harder to optimize, but we bundle their first JS with our response (saving a request for the browser), and we offer sampling them to only a percentage of your users (or based on some criteria, like not loading them for users with slow connections). We do this rules evaluation on our backend, unlike GTM and other tools that essentially are sending everything to all users and then evaluating things on the client side.
So customer A is doing stuff where you need to put up a collateral with some counterparty.

You can't use customer B's money (this is a key assumption that might be missing - it's all about the use of other customers money) for that collateral because, well, that collateral might not get returned in certain cases - that's kind of the point of having a collateral. You'd lose that collateral if the counterparty goes belly up (insolvency, fraud, whatever), and, most importantly, you'd lose that collateral if you become insolvent. That's not OK - this is regulated so that you are required to ensure separation of "your money" from "customers money that you're holding on their behalf", so that the customer's money is untouched and unclaimed even you go bankrupt. It's not your money, it's the customer's money that you're investing on their behalf, so you can't put it up as repayment or collateral for your liabilities; and you can't put one customer's money as repayment or collateral for another customer's liabilities.

I guess that they could ask for a new trial but wouldn't it better if they would settle it using poetry, specifically comic poetry (or vituperium) that was common during Dante's time?

Google Search is so good because it has access to exclusive data it collected in an immaterial way (not through search queries or crawling). Anyone can write a search engine, no one can write a search engine that's based on Google data. And no one can collect data similar to Google data, because this "Google has better quality so we have to use them" argument is also being used in a dozen other verticals.

No, that was negligible. Robinhood actually fronts the least money out of all major brokers (something like $1000). And if that was the case the easy solution would be to block trades if your account didn't have the sufficient settled balance.

" Amazon is also announcing today that Jeff Bezos will transition to the role of Executive Chair in the third quarter of 2021 and Andy Jassy will become Chief Executive Officer at that time.

“Amazon is what it is because of invention. We do crazy things together and then make them normal. We pioneered customer reviews, 1-Click, personalized recommendations, Prime’s insanely-fast shipping, Just Walk Out shopping, the Climate Pledge, Kindle, Alexa, marketplace, infrastructure cloud computing, Career Choice, and much more,” said Jeff Bezos, Amazon founder and CEO. “If you do it right, a few years after a surprising invention, the new thing has become normal. People yawn. That yawn is the greatest compliment an inventor can receive. When you look at our financial results, what you’re actually seeing are the long-run cumulative results of invention. Right now I see Amazon at its most inventive ever, making it an optimal time for this transition.” "

Here's the quote.

Hey, sorry I'm late to this but it's against the Show HN guidelines to rip someone's work to shreds like this. Please read those rules: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html. We don't want an asshole culture on HN, least of all in threads where people are sharing their work. Show HNs are supposed to be a place where people can share early-stage work and get constructive feedback about how to develop it further.

Please read the site guidelines too: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html. Note this one: "Be kind." Note also the guideline against calling names. Don't call names about people's work ("ugliest I've ever seen")—rather, show them specifically what needs improvement and how they might make some improvements. You can and should do that without insults.

Anyone sharing their work is making themselves vulnerable. Keep in mind that however aggressive or unpleasant you think you're being, it's going to land with readers as 10x more so, and probably 100x more so with the person whose work you're attacking. I'm sure you didn't intend to be mean, but on the internet, it's necessary to disambiguate one's intent: https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=false&so...

Keep in mind also that it's extremely easy for internet forums to degenerate when people post like you did here, because people who don't want to be part of a poisonous culture gradually withdraw, leaving a community of mostly-jerks with nothing interesting to talk about.

Fortunately, there are ways to share all the same relevant information without putdowns. Please do it that way instead, so we can keep HN from becoming a nasty place.

>My opening statement is short, so I'm assuming some charity in reading it. My complaint is the idea that you can make a hard distinction between function and pass that to another layer is a huge mistake in our industry. As noted by us conversing in a web browser. :)

Ok, so you are basically implying that your opening statement is wrong and what you meant to say is that abstractions do not have zero costs and that the industry is unaware of this. Just admit you're wrong instead of relying on the political stratagems used by "architects" to stay relevant.

I would argue that everyone is fully aware of this concept. It's a necessary evil done to reduce complexity otherwise we would all be programming in assembly language. As for AWS specifically, isn't it proof of what you say? The technical details are leaking into the interface showing that function and form can't be fully separated.

If you're saying the architecture of AWS should have been holistically designed to support a more intuitive interface, I would say you're describing another problem all together. A holistic design is a synonym for "waterfall," and there's a good reason why it's avoided in the industry.

The problem with waterfall is that the current needs of the market is always a moving target. No architect or even UI/UX designer can predict the needs of the market in the future thus things are continuously put together agile style (aka ad hoc). This produces technical debt which is something neither Architect nor the UX/UI designer can solve. AWS definitely suffers from some debt and the UI reflects this, but again, this is NOT because they lack "architects" as every company has this problem whether or not the company has "architects."
It's funny because the Soviets did it right, in that they funded smart people and gave them control. The Nasa's approach was to have people create proposals and get approval for funds.

We have forgotten that the "fund smart people and let them do what they want" is the best approach. Look at Xerox Parc, Bell Labs, etc. Nasa's modern approach with SpaceX and other companies seems to reflect these hard learned lessons.

Perhaps Bill Gates truly has developed compassion for the less fortunate, however moving his money into the foundation is a very convenient tax strategy, and I suspect he enjoys the challenges and influence he has, and less so the warm fuzzies from helping people.

(I anticipate this comment will not go over well, as it seems I must just not see the truth that Bill Gates is a perfectly benevolent being who has ascended from human qualities)
I think he's probably bored at this point. Whats there really left to do at Amazon? AWS and the website are eating the world. He's 57. Why not at this point go play with his rockets and spend time inside that WaPo newsroom that he loves.

"debunked conspiracy theories". Debunked by whom? Sadly the use of the term "conspiracy theory" is now just code for "facts I don't like". Given the scientific facts on the ground and the last year of data, we now know that all recommendations from the experts from masks to distancing have been failures, because the COVID infection rate is higher than ever since their introduction.

Ego.

Lidars are expensive, fairly large, power hungry and depending on what your using them for, noisy.

Musk doesn't like them because they are expensive. Not because they don't work. He's spent billions trying to polish the turd that is their monocular depth estimation + radar system. Sure its impressive, but its nowhere near good enough for safe autonomy. (I am sceptical that they ever will with that sensor layout. Thats neatly avoiding the issue that there is no redundancy)

If you want ground truth data from a moving vehicle, then there is no real alternative to lidar[1]. Anyone who tells you otherwise is either:

1) an idiot

2) a musk fan

3) trying to sell you something.

Now, sure for "autopilot" (cruise control) where there isn't that much to do, radar and basic object detection is good enough. But any sign of danger and it backs off, leaving you no time to unfuck the situation.

That's for the booster. The goal is to skip landing legs for the booster, as it'll only operate around Earth, so it's "easy" to build infrastructure instead.
