Not really surprised about this, I have never been particularly impressed by Bose except for their noise canceling.
The really disappointing thing is that a lot of desperate people who had just some extra stimulus money and no more assistance thought they could possibly win something. I'm not saying desperate to demean anyone, just that the failed state does spur some in despair to try anything. They thought they couldn't possibly lose if so many are in on the big mental error that'll destroy Wall Street.

If they bought low, like $50-70, sure, that's not a complete loss yet as of today's $90 close. But there are those who went all in above $300 last week hoping to see the moon. This one kid I read tossed in $18,000 of his savings at the peak and currently down $9,000. Another young one is YOLOing his shares and willing to ride it to zero instead of just calling it quits. What could at least be some slim yet fair gains relative to last week or less of a loss will simply worsen with this attitude. Gamestop isn't like AMC where the current dip one can ride out a bit and possibly break even or gain.

It's one thing to be struggling and another to lose more money. It's not like credit debt when at least the money borrowed went somewhere. This is pretty much cash grifted out of naive hands by both sides. Easy to miss an opportunity and forget, harder to deal with losses especially as the US government can't even agree if a future stimulus check is coming or going.
It definitely does, in my PC right now. Why wouldn't it? Not downgrading would probably be an egregious violation of PCIe specs. PCIe is built to work no matter the restrictions. You can connect an x16 gen4 GPU via an adapter to an x1 gen2 miniPCIe slot and it will work.
Cannot confirm, I joined to watch things to eventually buy, and I bought. I never bothered with stocks before. I also know many like me, in my real life circle, who did the same. A good chunk of WSB holds GME, is my estimate.

A reducer is pretty close to a state machine. The main differences are that state machines generally prevent invalid transitions and have tooling to help you handle and visualize all the states and transitions.
This is a ridiculous post. It’s not about _you_, it’s about vulnerable people who you were willingly becoming a vector of infection for.

Your friend who recommended “not to go out and get it, but it isn’t that bad” doesn’t know if they gave it to a vulnerable person.

It’s never been just about you or how you and your circle will handle it.
The standby list for leftover Covid vaccine
Immunity wearing off doesn't mean a booster won't work. The memory cells will still hang around at some level, so when you apply the booster, you'll get longer lasting immunity at that point. In fact if anything, providing the booster within 3-4 weeks is likely to hamper the durability of the booster-induced immunity.

Literally everything you do has a >0% risk of death or serious injury. You have to pick your battles, and I would expect that being paranoid about delivery boxes fails the cost/benefit test for almost everyone.
Personally, I feel like all those news orgs should be liable for something. Blatantly lying to a huge audience in an attempt to influence the market to me feels like blatant market manipulation, especially in time-sensitive situations.

If anything, this should be an eye opener to many. The media isn't your friend, and hasn't been your friend for a long time, if ever. Journalism is dead, and primarily exists as a tool of manipulation far more insidious than any government run propaganda campaign. They don't exist to report what has happened, or to inform; They exist to shape opinion and control their readers.

Yes, the earliest directories / search engines worked extremely well in large part because there minimal content. When there where 7 knitting websites they don’t need to worry about SEO. It was only after the users started getting hundreds of results for most searches that search engines needed to worry about filtering and prioritization.
This is unfortunate, but it's also an invariant of human behaviour. The alternative is to get leaders through inheritance, which isn't any better.

So the best thing to do is to try to nudge the system in a direction where the worst tendencies are mitigated: build institutions in which non-sociopaths can thrive politically, and allow a reasonable path for outsiders to join the political process.

The US in particular is very bad at both. First past the post election systems don't provide a path for outsiders to join, which makes them seem stable until they suddenly become very volatile. And the fact that all elections in the US are personalized favours sociopathy over competence in politicians (compare the US system to one where you vote for a party instead of a person; in the former, people who are competent but lack charisma can still rise in the ranks of a party and get to power, while in the latter everything devolves to low-quality popularity contests).
She's saying that Ferguson's projections were wrong.

They certainly have been wrong -- wildly so -- in most of the world. He also projected 2.2M deaths in the United States, and that hospitals would be over-run in the UK even with interventions. The predictions from the original paper do not hold up well in retrospect:

When I think of Telegram, the absolutely most important thing on my mind is the totally perfect UX. For a second I thought you forked Telegram and switches out the protocol, repurposing that UX for a more standard chat. I don't want to dismiss your work, it's very cool - but perhaps it would be better not to build that expectation in people's mind right now.
Same. I'm genuinely curious because I have a lot of Quebec friends and ex-coworkers ho got hired by US companies recently and it seems to be more of a Canadian paperwork hoop you have to go through then you're golden.
You wrote 2 paragraphs to say OP was wrong, because although things are actually like OP said they were, they could be different.
Well, now we know that they are neither professionals, nor experts. Most of what comes from the public health establishment is more like "science theater" that is engineered to obey whatever political dictates need to be handed down with the air of authority.

Recall the proclamations from last summer that massive street protests were either magically not going to spread COVID, or that it was somehow acceptable because "racism is a public health issue".
I saw videos of some countries driving trucks doing a sort of fogging and spraying of whole outdoor areas. Not unlike in the article here.

It seemed like a strange practice to combat a virus to me but when I raised the question I was told various things that I found pretty unconvincing.

I'm glad to see some actual work identifying risks is out there now.

I suspect surfaces, like other practices are focused on, because we can easily deal with them. Anyone can disinfect a surface. The air, not as easy unfortunately.
treating surface cleaning as a big deal and the air as minor caused many business to make
bad trade offs.

last summer target was making you wait in line longer (dangerous) while they carefully wiped down self checkout stations between users (minimally helpful).

i don’t know what they’re doing now, because i didn’t care to subject myself to that any further.
You're spreading r/wallstreetbets misinformation. They WERE hyping up and trying to squeeze silver at the same time, or preparing for right after GME squeeze, but when the GME outrage broke mainstream, r/wallstreetbets very quickly changed into conspiratorial fashion with complete denial:

"we never hyped silver, keep buying GME, it's a distraction, FAKE NEWS!"

Here's four highly popular r/wallstreetbets threads that were pumping silver at the time.[0][1][2]

They even deleted the evidence on [3].

The world is running into serious problems with rampant misinformation on social media echo chambers / filter bubbles.
That's because it makes people feel good to think that there is something they can do to clean away Covid by following a normal cleaning routine regarding surfaces, something people understand well. It reduces the sense of helplessness for the masses and that's also why it won't be going away as a routine when it comes to Covid.

It's basically sanitation theater.
The problem with this article is that it takes at face value the stated goals of the pandemic response: to slow the spread of coronavirus. And while that is a goal, it is not the top goal. If it could be, it probably would be.

The main goal is to soothe the public. People aren't told to wipe surfaces because it reduces the spread, people are told to wipe surfaces because this is all people can do. People are told to wear surgical masks, which say on the side of the box that they do not protect against viruses, because it is something they can do. People don't like to feel powerless. People cannot disinfect the air. But they can wipe surfaces and cover their faces with a piece of cloth, and keep busy with something to feel like they're doing something to protect themselves and others.

Public messaging exist to manage people, nothing more.

If you want to track consciousness track the data. Vision has the highest bit rate and is easy to track, your consciousness has to exist somewhere that can receive all that vision data, enough pixels to cover what you see. Not the raw data, but the modified data with the vision "glitches" we experience. That data exists in a very limited part of the brain, if the brain is an antenna it has to be sent from there, and sending it has to be structured enough that it hits exactly one consciousness and not the billions/trillions of others living nearby.

Whether you think that is possible is up to you. If that part of the brain had such a high bitrate antenna to send stuff we would probably have noticed by now, so I don't think it has that function.

No offense taken, I agree there's a non-zero chance that GME goes up again. However, alleging that the ticker price is "fake" or that the short interest analytics reports are all shills etc is veering pretty strongly into QAnon territory.
Ok, this thread is mostly about Amazon, so let's talk about impetus for action against them.

1. Documented examples of Amazon knowingly using predatory pricing to put a competitor out of business, most famously with Diapers.com. Amazon saw them as a "#1 short term competitor", lowered their prices and took a loss so Diapers.com couldn't compete, and then raised prices again once they were able to acquire their competitor. https://twitter.com/HouseJudiciary/status/128855628101652070..., https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-07-29/amazon-em..., https://www.ftc.gov/tips-advice/competition-guidance/guide-a..., https://academic.oup.com/antitrust/article-abstract/7/2/203/...

2. National "competition" that convinced hundreds of city and state governments to offer billions of dollars in subsidies that most economists agree are harmful to the places that offer them. You can blame this on incompetent governments if you want, but the incentive must have been pretty strong if so many of them fell for it. Maybe too strong?

3. Amazon controls its market and is also a participant, so it can promote its own products above competitors'. It can give its own stuff a bump in the search results, or give it a nice looking "Amazon's Choice" badge, or advertise it next to competition, whatever. Even the potential of abusing this power is a problem.

4. If Amazon were to ever abuse its position to harm a seller or employee, they cannot be sued: https://prospect.org/labor/biggest-abuser-forced-arbitration...

5. Amazon has enormous market share of online retail, but sees third party sellers as competition and often works against them. Many sellers simply do not have a realistic alternative, even if they don't like Amazon's terms. This is a news article with a lot of allegations that you may not immediately believe, but I think it can at least be considered an impetus for investigation: https://www.washingtonpost.com/technology/2019/10/01/amazon-...

6. Amazon Alexa has a nearly 70% market share in the US, an absurdly high number. Alexa is not a standalone product, it is deeply integrated into the Amazon ecosystem and is used to promote other business lines.

You can also search for Amazon in here for some better researched claims: https://judiciary.house.gov/uploadedfiles/competition_in_dig...

Given the recent discussions in hn on how Intel's fortunes declined under Bob Swan, it is interesting to note that Andy Jassy is also from a non-technical background. Same can be said about Jeff Bezos.

Perhaps tech vs non-tech background is not that important a factor for being a successful leader of technology company. Or can we say that Amazon/AWS and Intel are different kinds of organization based on their core competencies?
> Pervasive as Amazon, Google, et al. may be, they are still much easier to escape than the United States government.

Like it or not, there's always going to be some powerful entity who you cannot escape because it rules the land. The only question is what shape you want that entity to have. Accountability matters, and so democracy is generally a good place to start.
"We" is amazing. Have read it several times because there is so much to the text. Nothing is accidental, even down to the numbers he picks for the characters (many are related through mathematical formulas). I love gifting copies.
No disagreement. As a cohort grows, you're always going to get more outliers. Hard to police a crowd that big.

If you read the article, they are having trouble establishing that the officer actually suffered a lethal injury at the riots. He went back to his office after it was over and collapsed sometime later, and died in a hospital the next day. The popular narratives about him having been brained with a fire extinguisher are false.

Don't think it's generally the case that if someone dies during civil unrest that they just charge everyone in wide proximity with felony murder.

I have a disclaimer. I'm not an expert in category theory at all. However, my primary background is in mathematics and I've "looked over the basics" as they say.

If you'll allow me to dodge the question just a little bit, I'd recommend that you dive in and see what it feels like to start learning it. The way I think that could proceed is to a) go find a book, lecture, video, or other resource you'd like to engage with, and b) start devouring it. If you run into conceptual difficulties, start looking online for ways to explain that difficult concept to yourself so that you can proceed.

Hopefully that isn't flippant, but I've found myself in similar situations and I wish I'd just gone and started in this direction.

To try to answer the core question, I think if you have a high school background in logic and the ability to think abstractly, that's the only real prerequisite for learning category theory. Many of the advanced concepts in category theory are really explanations for how concepts in algebra, analysis, etc (<- sub-fields of mathematics) are grounded in category theory. In this sense, I find that folks gain a better understanding of category theory because they'll start to see similar patterns in their respective parts of mathematics. So, what makes studying it difficult is that many of the examples of "what a category is" are from various parts of math. This can be a big hurdle, but the works of Spivak are very good about presenting just the necessary category theory as well as giving you examples that aren't purely mathematical. Check out "Category theory for scientists (Old version)"[1] or "Seven Sketches in Compositionality: An Invitation to Applied Category Theory"[2]. They're books that I've studied and I really like how much effort the author has put in to make it accessible to non-mathematicians.

Some parting thoughts.

Interestingly across all of the lauding for the Reddit short squeezing (about how it was a populist uprising against Wall Street, blah blah blah and other similar fraudulent non-sense), it's being almost universally ignored that the Reddit crowd is doing nothing more than performing rampant pump and dump schemes on stocks. They're going to leave GameStop to die by the side of the road and they will not care one bit as it gradually implodes back down toward where it was, it's on to the next pump and dump, GME will be yesterday's forgotten news.

There is nothing glorious about what's going on, there's nothing honorable about pumping and dumping stocks for a quick buck. If it were Wall Street behaving this way (as they so often do) it'd be properly called despicable behavior.
