I remember reading when the original story broke that the negative balance / suicide happened over a weekend.

And about the the negative balance, I've had a similar story (with much less). The problem is that once a long-short vertical option expires worthless, Robinhood showed a negative balance for the full amount of the short position, even if you had a long position covering most of it. Because they don't update the available balance/money you made from the long side until it clears (which can take a few days).

I believe it was extremely bad UX on Robinhood's part, even my heart skipped a beat when I saw the negative bal, and that was for only 5k.

That makes absolutely zero sense. The whole point of being able to modify and redistribute is about being in control of the software running on your system.

That is explicitly about choice.
Sure, just like a toothbrush (Larry Page's favourite comparision for products). The only way to scale to all people in the world is to not have human support.
But can you name it and claim the rights of the land to it?
Why the need to do this on mobile? This is serious stuff. You're not just ordering dinner.

Do it on a desktop, and know what you're doing.
The effects of scale are less combinatoric than you might think. Most people on my Facebook feed are from the same city anyway, even though Facebook is global.
Just wanted to chime in here and say that my younger brother is gay. Everyone in my family knew from when I was 8 years old and he was 6. We love him and we accept him.
Gah I miss the days of the early internet.
It made a strangely compelling argument that it would be fine if it forked off a subprocess to monitor itself.
I can say this. I highly doubt we’re done innovating with how software is made. I feel like systems development has gone extremely out of fashion in the past couple decades. The OS’s and tools we have are good enough to get a lot of stuff done.

However, there’s still quite a few problems, and we don’t even know the productivity level we could get to, because we haven’t seen the future. There’s nothing wrong with not being a dreamer or not trying wanting progress the industry. But, there’s also nothing wrong with doing those things either.
In what way would he have had to lie on the application? Is it something like "yes I have read these enormous pages you've thrown at me and know what I am doing"?

I'm so glad I've found this comment. It's REALLY strange to me that this is the first time I've read someone talking about this phenomena and on how exploitative it actually is and, like other comment noted, this is a very convenient co-opting of the Peter principle in order to get more senior people for cheap in the guise of "trials" and similar.

When exactly did this extortionary tactic started? There are so many things that go unquestioned...

Funny you should mention Fidelity - I have their "full view" thing set up so I can see my accounts at other banks and brokerages on one screen. Late last year I did a wire transfer from my bank to a brokerage, and the brokerage credited me for the amount immediately, before the bank deducted it. On January 1, the sum of all my accounts was some not-insubstantial number of dollars higher than reality, and that's what Fidelity captured as my starting balance for the year. Then everything settled, and I logged in to Fidelity around January 3 to a message that since the beginning of the year my investments had lost that not-insubstantial amount of value. Heart skipped a beat.

Please stop spreading this lie. It's a falsehood I see on HN almost every single day.

I have received almost immediate support from a real human every single time I've contacted Google (dozens of times). This includes chat, email, and even phone support initiated by them... and I live in the a "third world" country in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, and earn them no more than two figures a month.

In my experience, Google provides stellar support.
That’s an upper bound on bitcoin power usage as I said, it is also a ‘horseshit’ calculation as per your classification. I’m not sure how equating it to driving down the coast is a meaningful comparison.

Although the porn calculation is not ‘accurate’ I doubt it is wrong by an order of magnitude.
> but the person that wants to have it analyzed will have to either spend the time themselves, or pay the expert witness for their time; it could be a costly affair.

Sure.

And the prosecution using the company claiming to have "totally reliable DNA evidence" should be totally on the hook for those costs (plus damages) when that analysis or expert witnesses show up "reasonable doubt" flaws in the software or the processes in which that software is used, including then risking retrials or mistrials of all other cases in which it was used.

If the prosecutors want to play high stakes games with defendants lives and liberty using "evidence" from proprietary software or devices, they need to be held to the consequences of losing their stakes.

[Edit: I wonder what the legal system would think of a CyberGenetics competitor funding the expert witness analysis of their software on behalf of the defence???]
> You have to go out of your way to trade options (they're disabled by default), and the only way you can get options enabled in Robinhood as a college freshman is to straight up lie on the application.

Isn't this a problem with most brokers? They all seem to require that you claim experience trading an asset class before they let you trade that asset class.
No, you need smart people for that.
It would be even more beneficial if you could encourage the wealthy to reinvest their money and take more risks on starting new businesses. I don’t think charity or taxes alone can completely solve the problem.
> Almost all of Asia and Africa accepts that requiring conformity in voluntary lifestyle... There is nothing special about sexuality in that respect

You seem to be suggesting that it would be radical, then, for us to object to forced homosexuality in a culture that practiced it alongside "conformity".
It’s very common for people to make decisions that they regret for the rest of their lives.

If someone is straight and they have a gay experience that is something that could haunt them for the rest of their life. This seems to be less of a thing in the other direction. Maybe this is societies fault though. The lack of acceptance causes the inner shame.

But the notion of letting people be free to choose is pretending that there is nothing that will influence the choices they make. Most people will be straight genetically and that is the way society leans today.

Encouraging experimentation can have negative consequences.
I didn’t downvote but I’ll share that I have a reflexive dislike of this conflation because gambling is inherently ludic whereas option trading is intended to be an activity that creates value on the market. Gambling is consumption whereas options are capital allocation.
In the last availability report they mentioned MySQL issues:

> The problem is that there are some people who honestly believe that homosexuality is self-harm and/or harms society. If everyone believed nobody was getting hurt, then it would be a much easier conflict to resolve.

Right, but that’s a problem. Particularly when the same people are up in arms any time they perceive a threat to their freedom of religion, without realising that they impinge on others’.

> Certainly there's a lot of plain bigotry in these arguments, but, for instance, I have a friend who was really torn up about attending her brother's gay wedding. She's respectful of her brother's husband and loves her brother deeply, but is honestly concerned about non-provable harm to her brother's eternal soul. She's probably in the minority of those who oppose gay marriage, but as far as I can tell, it comes from a place of pure compassion.

This is terrible, though I understand where she’s coming from. I hope she will find the strength to put some of her beliefs aside and accept her brother for what he is. Life is too short to fight about that.

> Also, getting back to polygamy, what's your specific objection? That true informed consent is difficult to ascertain? In 50 years, will we be looking back on this as duo-sexual bigotry?

That is one of my problems, yes. I have accepted that I might not be popular and that people in the future might look down on us as repulsive barbarians. You can’t please everyone, and I won’t pretend that I have no prejudice.

> I agree that we shouldn't be discriminating against homosexuals, but it's surprisingly difficult to translate that gut feeling into robust reasoning from widely agreed first principles.

The core principle is freedom, tolerance and human rights (which are itself not too far from classical Christian values). Everything comes from there. You don’t want other people imposing you their moral principles? Don’t do it to others. You want the freedom to have your religion? Accept that other people will follow another one, or none at all.
Most people just want to live in peace without being persecuted or discriminated against. Even the Catholic Church got the message after centuries of religious wars.

This is tragic, but misguided.

I was sued for $55MM this year after my (now former) business partner lost $5MM to Vietnamese mafia which triggered a loss for a customer.

Was crazy, but I took a deep breath and realized worse case was personal bankruptcy if they pierced the LLC.

The worse case scenario for this kid would have been 7 years of bad credit (had he lost $750k).

There were some deeper things going on in his life and family system that no one is talking about.

Oh, I ended up selling my position to my partner, getting indemnified and walking away with a few hundred grand (some still be to paid). It was super stressful, and I’m really grateful I’ve learned how to process painful experiences (I work as a mindset coach to billionaire tech founders).
Fueling Reddit’s Future
There is a lot of "right side of history" / "get with the program" smugness coming from the Rust camp, this bug report and other discussions. Claims of improved security are used as an ultimate, unbeatable-by-definition, trump card.

This might prove right eventually - or might very well end up just like Java, for which similar claims were made. The smugness around Java was moderated a bit by the more corportey image of it, but the gist was quite similar nonetheless. Let's just say openly: the smugness is using up a lot of natural goodwill, and generating its own pushback. As there's no widely acknowledged "equal competitor" to Rust (why?), something feels "off" about the whole situation.

> Okay, but there was a time when homosexuality was a crime in the majority of Western countries, and in some places around the world, it still is a crime. What then/there?

One easy place to start-- are the laws are based on kinds of dubious claims that our own social and scientific history has rejected?

And at least in Africa, Western evangelicals have spent a lot of time and effort exporting their same stupid ideas about homosexuality. So our Western approaches should be pretty easy to copy-paste there. :)

Section 230 protections for social media companies, municipal and state enticement packages for company additions and relocations, etc.

Companies use government regulation to gain unfair competitive advantage, raise the barrier to entry, and drive prices higher through the increased demand of government entities.

For instance, it is hard for smaller medical software companies to compete against Cerner/Leidos to provide software solutions if they are winning contracts for the entire DoD (Active and Veteran health).

If, let's say, the VA's hospital system were to be privatized, then each participating health system would have the ability to tailor their own solutions, and more companies could compete. This is a net positive in innovation for an industry that is plagued by mediocrity.
Wow that sounds interesting, does anyone know if this is true?

The decision to partially "let go" of Rustlang as an asset on some level makes Mozilla something like the anti-Google. If Mozilla make this a habit, they'll come closer to achieving their mission, and the spirit of FOSS. It's a worthy goal, using your power to spin off great pieces of software into independent organizations. I mean, even old "Micro$oft" now knows that open source is more of an asset to them than a competitor. Good to be coding in a time like this. :)

In your world, do we blame casinos when someone goes in and gambles away their money? My naive perspective sees no difference. The concept of an individual being responsible for their own terrible choices really seems to have changed unbelievably in the last 20 years.

Brokers are required by law to "protect" traders from financially harming themselves by restricting the trades that can be made until the trader verifies that they know what they are doing. Some brokers will go as far as to personally call you up and give you an on-the-spot quiz about how options work before letting you trade them, for example.

Many brokers seem to have gotten very lax about this in recent years, and even Schwab/Ameritrade allowed me to trade options without verifying anything. My guess is that the recent Robinhhood/GME fiasco is going to see FINRA cracking down hard and reinstating some strict verification procedures.

> Most US tapwater is fantastically clean and drinkable, and doesn't generally need a filter.

It is my understanding that most municipal water utilities only test water quality every 3 months. A problem can come and go between testing cycles.

Even with weekly testing, I’d expect the same risk (there’s still a window between tests). Basically you’re only going to know about a problem when it’s too late.
Wow, the fact that that was written in 1912 blows my mind. The exact same thing could be said today in 2021, especially "They pretend that they are rushed, very busy, very energetic; the fact is, they are lazy."
Unlike stocks and bonds, options are a zero sum game (minus fees). So they're like gambling in that sense. But they are a useful tool for investors to hedge risk.
