The market price is where bid and ask meet for a trade.

> If a company declares bankruptcy on Friday at 10pm, the stock will open lower the next week

If a company declares bankruptcy, trading will generally be halted on its stock, and usually existing stock will be cancelled as part of the bankruptcy reorg, even in a no liquidation bankruptcy.

For more general bad news at 10pm Friday, it's true that the stock price would usually open lower on Monday, but not without trading taking place; the lower opening price is the price at which clearing occurs in the opening auction (there'd typically also be premarket trades on Monday.)

That’s easily “circumvented” with an OCI (Overseas Citizenship of India) card. You lose the right to vote or hold public office, but have permanent residence and authorisation to work.

It probably isn't itself, but as long as they're able to provide an attractive centralized alternative to the things happening in defi, they can capture a lot of that growth. Custody, trading, wallet, etc.

A successful model for Coinbase at this point is probably what Google does: let others innovate, clone the ideas once they start becoming popular, keep them under an umbrella and provide easy integration/movement among them.

A substance legal for adults will be used by most kids. Every kid knows how to get alcohol or cigarettes, just ask some random homeless dude to get it for you in the nearest store for a dollar and there, done.
Not true, US is one of the only countries that requires you to pay taxes no matter you live or where you work as long as you're a US citizen and alive the IRS requires you to pay income tax.
Agreed, but I'm not aware of anyone trying to build those into handheld communicators.
I had a dedicated server at Hetzner that would completely lock up every few weeks to months randomly, so they aren't always reliable. I ran it for about a year as I always had other things to deal with, but the abrupt loss of my services was kind of embarrassing and I should have reported it sooner than I did.

To be fair to Hetzner, eventually when I reported it they immediately took the initiative to replace it, no questions, and gave me options for when I'd like that to happen. Never had any problems since.
First Human–Monkey Chimeras Developed in China
In general, individual consumers expect sellers to increase the price above the cost of goods in exchange for decreasing the exposure of the consumer to volatility. A case could be made that gas prices violate this expectation, by transmitting sharp price shocks to consumers in violation of the unspoken agreement.

I remember something about how gas prices quite reliably go up rapidly and go down very slowly, which doesn't at all reflect a market that's allowed to 'float'. It seems as though gas prices are building in their own 'fixed' problem: shock-tremor resilience into a very low rate of decline in prices, paired with a very high rate of incline in prices, in order to buffer against market shocks in a way that "boils the frog" so that consumers don't realize it.

Are there any examples of an industry that transmits price shocks directly to customers, with equal responsiveness in both directions, regardless of the opportunity to sellers exploited by gas prices today?
I can't find it now, but there was an NPR segment that ran about 3 days ago interviewing people in the airline industry.

Their general aggregate claim was that pilots and maintenance technicians have lost much of their normal routine due to the drastically reduced flying hours, and that this raises the risk of accidents.

Though the conclusion was that this is not something to be very worried about, it is uncomfortable to see two incidents like this on the same day.
We overuse plastic when paper would suffice. But then some worry about cutting down trees for paper. Hemp is a pretty good crop for the natural fibers needed in paper production (and many other things besides) and could replace trees as raw material source for paper.
A lot of states have tax breaks for ag land, or land that doesn't contain a permanent dwelling. Taxes overall can be quite low in rural counties regardless. And even with property tax, money can be made leasing the land to farmers or timbering it. There is plenty of value to be had in owning land. Plenty to be lost too, sure if you don't know what you're doing.
Exactly this. Many people are introduced to it in college at this point.

Also too the world they grow up in is far different. Computing for us was a lot more intensive to them, who now just pull one right out of their pocket.

As someone looking for alternatives to AirBnB, I welcome Sonder as competition. Although I'm not happy that they advertise "40% off 14+ nights" but only honor that in select cities (example: Miami is only 30%)
> I believe it is motivated by trash accumulation in oceans and the food chain (microplastics). There are a ton of areas of the world where plastic just piles up.

But then how are we not at the same solution? Burn the plastic garbage (in place of coal or natural gas) to generate electricity.

Even better if they were plant-based plastics to begin with, because then it's renewable energy.
Free markets do account for huge shortages, but we’ve eliminated the motivation for actors to do something about it with anti price-gouging regulations.

There would be tons of stockpiles if businesses could appropriately upcharge when there was mass panic buying. Instead we stupidly lock prices, which wipes out most of the point of paying extra storage costs compared to a just in time competitor.

The problem is we’ve as a society don’t like when prices go up with demand so we’ve crippled markets in their ability to deal with these types of events.

> We need more than one healthy launch provider

I believe we have to maintain this by law. Which, of course, means throwing money at whoever stands in the #2 spot, even if their product costs ten times more than #1. This means they have to keep throwing money at the likes of Boeing (which is likely one of the things that's helping keep them alive).

Until they can violate this mandate and stop burning cash like it is rocket fuel these inefficient programs and companies are going to keep doing what they do. No incentive to improve when the fitness function always outputs 100% regardless of what you do.

Rising CO2 puts more energy into the atmosphere. That means more extreme weather. This has been understood since at least 1980.

Here’s a report from the American Petroleum Institute from 1980 that correctly projected the economic impact and timing of current extreme weather events.

https://mk0insideclimats3pe4.kinstacdn.com/wp-content/upload...

In some other comments you say the science is still an open question.

The projections in this report have been refined and confirmed repeatedly by dozens (if not hundreds) of independent research groups for the last 40 years.

At this point, I cannot imagine more definitive evidence that the science is settled.
They explicitly built a mechanism for loading alternate OS's. I'm not going to sing Apple's praises over that or anything, but it means that Macs are still an order of magnitude less locked down than, say, an iPhone. You have the ability to do whatever you want with a Mac... provided you figure out how.
Every time I see a post like this, I like to remind myself of a quote from Blaise Pascal in the 1600s,

"All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone,"

This has been an internal battles for most, for much longer than smartphones have been around.
My personal definition of a libertarian has been: someone who read a capitalism economics textbook but skipped the chapter on externalities.
There is no positive. It's a massive humanitarian crisis. Half the US homeless are in California, which spends 13 billion a year with no measurement, goals, metrics or evidence of positive results. Add in the opioid crisis, economic depression and housing shortages and you have a squalid pressure cooker of tents , crime and sanitation dangers.
Respectfully disagree. When you are flying with one turbofan, it does not matter why the other engine is on fire. The checklist says, shut off the fuel, if W&B allows, move fuel off the wing and drown the engine in CO2.

A US passport or green card lets you settle in 50 states with no issues ;-)

Of course there is less cultural diversity than the EU - but the uniformity of law and culture makes moving between states even easier than the EU.

For example a green card holder can reside one year in each of five different states and that will count as the 5 years residence necessary to naturalize as a US citizen. If an EU permanent resident moves between countries like that, they'll never stay long enough in any one country to gain citizenship.
I understand if you're taking issue with the term as a pejorative, but how is purposefully placing barriers for those that don't conform to the "specifically-defined approach" not definitionally gatekeeping?
In principle, it is in the best interests of every nation on Earth to get together and organise along the lines of the famous Manhattan Project to develop fusion. Throw money at it like we've been throwing at COVID. Multiple teams working in parallel in a race to solve the problem, like the vaccine development teams were. Eliminate the red tape. Cut the bullshit. Get on with it.

The payoff would be worth it a hundred times over. Not just because of cheap, clean energy, but also because the earlier we start weaning ourselves off of fossil fuels, the better.

But did you notice my choice of words? I said nations, not governments. Governments do not represent their nations. They represent themselves. And they are made up of a small number of greedy, self-interested, mostly corrupt individuals looking out for their own personal benefit. They benefit from bribes (coughconsulting jobscough) from their "partners" in industry. The oil industry. The coal industry. The gas industry. Not just mining! Even power generation industries have a vested interest in delaying fusion as long as possible.

There is no fusion industry yet, and non-existent industrialists cannot pay bribes.

This is the essence of why governments are disinterested in the future. They're only interested in the bribes they get in the here and now. Oh, I'm sorry. "Alleged" bribes, I mean... perfectly legal donations.

Worse, the scientific bodies involved in the nascent fusion industry, like ITER, have become cancerous. They exist now only to justify their own enormous scale. A growing bureaucracy that benefits only from its own size, not in achieving its goals. Hence the plans out to 2050. The longer the better. Got to think about all the project managers that want to reach retirement age and start collecting that pension without ever having to actually deliver.
I would prefer exclusive citizenship requirements... cut mercenaries like Jacobson off like the gangrenous appendages they are.
> I live in a country with many American expats, none of them have had any problem whatsoever to access to banking services, including opening accounts

It depends on the bank. Any bank doing business internationally is usually fine because they probably already have a robust compliance mechanism in place, but a lot of local banks will just straight-up say no because they don't want to be subjected to FBAR / FATCA.
On first blush, isn't this an application of the Birthday Paradox? If stuff-falling-off-planes is a birthday event that happens at random, if it happens 23 times a year you'll get two happening on the same day every other year on average.

Eg if you pick a year (say, the 365 days ending today), if there were 23 stuff-falling-off events you'd have a 50% chance of two havjng happened on the same day.

If it happens 10 times a year, the chance they coincide is 12%, which means it will happen more than once every decade. It's only when you get down to 5 times a year that it gets really unlikely to overlap...

That said, uncontained engine failures do seem to be rare enough that two of them specifically coinciding really is very unlikely but in the realm of "weird coincidence" unlikely and not "supernatural" unlikely.
I love TRON Legacy Soundtrack. Great pick.
Imagine if we created family-friendly policies and parents actually cared about their children, spent time with them and raised them well and taught the kids the value of saying 'Oh, up yours!' to most of the world, knowing full well most of the world doesn't care about you and isn't doing what it is doing to make your life better.

Children are vulnerable when there are no adults actually looking out for their welfare in earnest. When there are adults looking out for them, children aren't anywhere near as vulnerable as we routinely paint them.
> If $190 feels outrageous for a film about a kangaroo accidentally coming into money, consider the price of a limited-edition copy of the 1989 Disney film “The Little Mermaid,” which is listed on Etsy for $45,000. The cover art for this hard-to-find copy is said to contain a male anatomical part drawn into a sea castle.

Not really a direct response to the article, but just because someone threw it up with a 45k price tag on Etsy isn't really a good sign these are actually "worth" that much. Anyone can set an arbitrary value for these, and jumping from $200 (which is pretty "absurd", but well within reason for collectors) to almost $50k without any other stepping stones seems like unnecessary hyperbole.
It's not "co2 makes thinks cold", but there is a real possibility your previous statement that a "trace element" can't affect the jet stream is certainly up for debate.

A large factor in the strength of the jet stream is the temperature differential between polar regions and lower latitudes. It's well known at this point that polar regions are warming the fastest, so there is a smaller differential, and the hypothesis goes that this can weaken the jet stream, leading to more events where the polar vortex dips down much further than normal.

This is a great article explaining that hypothesis: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2021/02/18/texas-pow... . Note the author of the article actually thinks the evidence for that hypothesis isn't very strong, but believes it's certainly possible and that its proponents are arguing in good faith.

I just got a cool domain.
usedtotube.com (nothing there yet)

I'm thinking of setting up a YouTube clone and letting people upload anything YouTube has censored or that they fear will be censored.

Is this a good idea? maybe it's more trouble than it's worse and I should just auction the domain.
Programming is teaching a computer to do something, and teaching something another being (even a stupid one like a computer) and seeing them grow can definitely be romantic.

The bid/ask is a "market". If someone says "make me a market on XYZ" they're asking for a two way price. More generally a market is a place where buyers and sellers meet. The dynamics of that market can change even when no trades cross.

Companies declare bankruptcy and continue trading all the time. Look at CHK. Not every bankruptcy is a liquidation.

Unlike some codebases, aircrafts actually have mandated maintenance. Which is why most accidents are due to human error and not massive technical failures.

Buying alcohol and cigarettes is illegal for kids, yet in school 15 year old kids were still out smoking cigarettes every recess and every party had tons of alcohol. Their parents didn't get them that, they just ask random people to buy it for them at a local store, so their parents have no control over their substance use.
I get it. It's a matter of perspective.

As a Linux/ OpenBSD user, Mac hardware is suddenly a bit more appealing.

As a Mac user, the reverse it not true. OpenBSD or Linux are no more appealing than it was before the switch.

As for the rest of your post, I feel like the conversation is moving here under me. Use whatever OS you want. I don't see a ton of Mac people on here discouraging or disparaging any of this. I do see a a fair number of posts like the top one. "Running an alternative OS natively on a Mac doesn't seem very appealing to me." Which I don't see as the same as what you are suggesting.
If you set a small algo to buy $50 every day when you see down days you feel happy because you get a discount.

Your time horizon is set at 10 years so any gains or loss is just a paper loss.

If you need to check just do it once per day to get a idea if the market. But not in the morning because if your port is big enough it might affect your day. Try for lunch time to not affect your sleep.

Good luck!
I’m all for dual citizenships, but a downside nobody’s talking about is that you have to spend 5-10 years of your life in your new country to get it, not factoring in multi-year waiting times that may exist for processing citizenship. Essentially, you need to be comfortable migrating.
So wrong. Marijuana and heroin were both illegal long before Nixon took office, largely due to laws passed by Democrats.

Now that drug laws have become unpopular, there's an effort to rewrite history and blame it all on the Republicans, especially Nixon. It's surprising that this effort is so successful when the correct history is so easy to find:

Opium, coca, and their derivatives (including heroin) were made controlled substances by the Harrison Narcotics Tax Act of 1915 [1], a law sponsored by a Democrat and signed by Woodrow Wilson (a Democrat).

Marijuana was made a controlled substance by the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937 [2], likewise introduced in Congress by a Democrat and signed by Roosevelt, another Democrat. Roosevelt also publicly urged the states to legislate against "the narcotic drug evil." [3]

The Boggs Act of 1951 [4] introduced mandatory sentences for possession or distribution of both drugs. It was, you guessed it, also sponsored by (and named for) a Democrat in Congress, and was signed by Truman (D).

And even the relevant legislation passed during Nixon's term in office, the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 [5], was again introduced by a Democrat and passed a Democrat controlled Congress with bipartisan support. This law merely continued the prohibitions introduced by the previous laws after they were successfully challenged in Leary v. United States in 1969 [6].

Ask HN: How do you find personal tech blogs?
When I'm interesting in something (say vim) and I search then I get a tonne of tech tutorial websites.

These are useful, certainly. But I often want tech blogs of actual /people/. Not CEO-focused tutorial websites aimed at selling ads.

The web used to be full of such personal websites. They gave the internet character, an element of human community. But search engines now show you CEO-optimised ad selling, albeit useful, tech tutorial sites instead.

How do you find these personal such websites these days? Do people even make them anymore? Is it just difficult to aggregate them? I vaguely remember some initiatives to find the personal websites of old.
If you are interested in climate issues and renewable tech, then some aspects of the "Great Filter" concept [0] are probably in mind, especially those having to do with "Global Catastrophic Risk," [1] of which climate change is one. Others include events sourced outside the Earth such as a large asteroid strike or a large solar flare. These are events of unknown likelihood and vast impact. A space program is insurance against that in that humans might have warning or be able to do something about it one day. No space program means we are on borrowed time.

If anything, purely relying on oral transmission means that the further that knowledge moves away from its source, the further variations and slight changes that will occur... intentionally or unintentionally. It is the reason why when you try to collect old folk tales or mythological stories, it is difficult to figure out the canonical version of it.
The post glosses over Canada by not mentioning Quebec. If you are in Quebec, chances of your getting a Permanent Residency is close to slim if you do not have French language proficiency. Thus, while living in Quebec for 5 years now, being a grad student, I neither qualify for PR nor citizenship by naturalization.
