Skimming the article I couldn't actually follow what they're doing. Are they doing anything? Buying shorted stocks on a margin? By non-conventional do they just mean meme-y stocks with poor fundamentals?
Then why aren’t Google results any better (arguably worse) than search engines that don’t do this?
It's the richest country in the world by GDP. Possibly also by wealth, though we're in hock, our fixed assets are worth ridiculous amounts. The wealth is extremely poorly spread out, however. So it depends on how you want to slice it.

This is an interesting statement.

While it's true, it obscures the fact that pi is defined as a fraction: Circumference/Diameter.

That this fraction cannot be represented as a numeric fraction is one of the great insights of early mathematics.
Gab is likely not breaking license agreements, as long as they provide it upon request. Which was never tested.

That's the problem with reporting like this; it jumps to conclusions to justify outrage, while clearly being written by someone who is overworked, underpaid, underexperienced, and only has a cursory understanding of the systems at play.

Of course, most people are underexperienced in domains like this, so they rely on traditionally high-quality reporting sites like Ars to provide accurate, precise, and fair reporting. The wording Ars used is accurate; your interpretation of their wording isn't. That's the responsibility journalists have; what they say matters, a lot, because people interpret what they say in different ways.

Ars said that they're "being accused" of breaking license agreements. You said they're "likely" breaking license agreements. That's a world of difference; if for no other reason than because one is correct, but useless, and the other is (probably) wrong.
Our dog will howl along with some of the emergency vehicle sirens. Remarkably similar to the particular siren that is sounding outside. (We live on a 4 lane parkway an easy walking distance from a major hospital, so we get different sirens from many different jurisdictions. She'll sing (edit: said sign before) along or in back-and-forth with about 1/3 of the distinct sirens.)

There is definitely a ton of shilling on /r/wsb and people outside thinking there is any single collective entity are ridiculously wrong.

Some people are pushing pump and dumps to make money. Some are ignorantly following along. Some genuinely treat it like a gambling addiction and enjoy it.

The GME thing though is unique, and there really is a narrative to hurt hedgies (in addition to all of the above).

NIMBYs define "luxury" very broadly as a semantic tool in their warchest. There isn't a good definition of it at all, but it's commonly used to mean "high rents", or simply, market rate rents.
Re trade-ins, should GameStop even be allowed to buy back games after selling them to you? That's like short selling.

Great points and appreciate that feedback! Here's the home page where you'd get to docs from: https://payitoff.io/

Does that provide more clarity on the product / audience?
Exactly. To be precise, carbon tax energy, so that everything that uses energy needs to factor carbon emissions in their costs. The whole point of carbon taxes is to internalise the cost of carbon emissions into everything, to put the market to work on better alternatives. Limiting carbon taxes to any particular service or product would be a market distortion and would defeat the purpose.

If carbon taxes hurt cryptocurrency mining and their value collapses in favour of less-energy-intensive digital payment platforms, that would be great. If on the other hand cryptocurrencies innovate towards less-energy-intensive methods of mining and their value continues to soar, that would also be great.
> Maybe that just means that they consider their duopoly enough of a barrier that advertisers will be forced to accept less-targeted marketing, but I doubt it...

My guess is that they smell a change in the regulatory wind (EU and possibly US as well) and anticipate that if they get out ahead of it, those regulations will serve as a competitive moat against other advertisers.

That, or their A/B testing has confirmed ad quality isn't remarkably improved over the combination of search-tuned ads, adsense topic ads tuned to the site the user is browsing, and display ads tuned by data the site owner vends to Google about the user to fine-tune ad selection for them. They have enough data to know one way or another, and if it turns out there's not enough value-add to justify retaining all that user browsing state, dropping collation and storage of it can free up room for dozens of new projects.

It's easy to forget that one of the major constraints on what Google can do, at their scale, is storage and processing; they're so big that from most people's vantage points, those resources seem limitless, but inside Google, they know exactly how much they aren't doing because the machines and networking they already own are already pushing petabytes of data around and are already near max peak capacity for their mission-critical applications. Sometimes, the cheapest way to get more space for a new bet or an existing mission-critical task is to just stop doing something else.
On some level shorting is worse though. A pump and dump scheme hurts investors. A shorting scheme can hurt investors and destroy the company.

I'd also wager this is probably the most useful or close to the most useful metrics you can use. With this metric, plus the user's persona (male or female, teen or elderly, and so forth), you have a fairly accurate user driven ranking system.
Would you be kind enough to enumerate simple descriptions of these powerapps you rolled out?

Maybe just a few of the "over a dozen" to give the rest of us a sense of the sort of apps that can be successfully created in this environment.

Was there anything that was less-than-perfect particular from the perspective of the end-user?

Has your company decide to use powerapps for all CRUD requirements going forward? This seems logical based on your assessment.
Life is so different now for you than it was for me back in 2010 at 20. However, as far as general life advice goes: if you can’t decide on something, pick up a book and read.

I always liked will smith’s advice which was just “read and run”. Simply taking a walk actually is proven to help recall and memory consolidation. Odds are you already know what to do but you just aren’t aware of it.
I call it lying because that's what it is.

If your documentation says in several places that your system does X, but it doesn't, it does Y, then that's lies.

It might be caused by a bug, and what you're documenting is intended behaviour not actual behaviour. But then you need to say that somewhere - something like "We expect the system to do X but we haven't actually tested it so it might not". Not saying that, and instead saying "the system does X" is lying.

And yeah, I stopped using ORMs too :) They just get in the way.

honestly it's all extremely subjective. my experience with modern dating (read: endless tinder dates) was mostly positive. of course i had plenty of heartbreaks, a LOT of wasted time. but mostly, i got to meet some really interesting people and create some wonderful connections, even if they were brief. ultimately i met my now girlfriend of 4 years.

there were periods i would have 0 matches, and then out of nowhere would get 10 in a day. the algorithm is extremely inconsistent and i would play the game of deleting my account/restarting to get that boost to be on top of people's feeds. ultimately I've found the best combination of pictures that worked pretty consistently/well.

It'd have helped this specific case where we can know that all the arguments must be numbers, but you're going to hit the same injection issue as soon as you need to allow a string argument.

The general fix is bound parameters, not typed arguments.
My primary source is my own experience. I used CP/M loaded from tape on the Coleco Adam. My best friend at the time was unfortunate enough to have his parents buy one for their home computer. Google or your search engine of choice is your friend here.

The tapes for the Adam were referred to as Digital Data Packs. They were standard cassette tapes with some extra holes. If you were handy you could turn a standard tape cassette into a DDP saving yourself some money. Data was stored on them in a digital format consisting of 2 tracks with 128 sectors. The tape drives were built directly into the Adam and it directly controlled them allowing it to access specific sectors on the tape as needed. In other words it had the same track and sector access ability as a floppy. This is what allowed it to run CP/M from tape.

When CP/M was booted from tape the 1st tape drive was CP/M drive A and the 2nd tape drive was drive B.

How would you functionally suppress the majority? What would that look like? What would the actual negative effect of it be? If 40% of the population believes something, keeping them from posting on Twitter isn't going to magically cause their belief system to evaporate. They'll at most feel persecuted and go somewhere else. These mainstream views are represented all over broadcast TV and in the US house and senate, even if someone gets their account shadowbanned on Twitter for saying it using some expletives.

Naturally, most of these majority belief systems and viewpoints aren't functionally being suppressed, because many employees at these companies hold the same views. It's usually just the extremist stuff, and some of the people who bail from Twitter to head to Gab or Parler end up causing trouble there too by being so extreme they run afoul of those sites' incredibly lax and generous policies.

I could understand this complaint if the government was applying force or other punishments (financial penalties, etc) to suppress a majority viewpoint, but in this case it's private corporations exercising their rights to exclude majority speech from their platform. This is an important right for them to have regardless of how popular a view is.

It wasn't that long ago that polling numbers showed the average American supported the Kent State massacre, and it wasn't that long ago that interracial marriage was illegal in parts of the US. The nature of "majority views" and the impact of reducing their visibility is difficult to grapple with.
that merely reinforces my point. Though i accept it was inaccurate of me.
> CPAC hasn't been willing to deny it.

That's not true: they denied it almost immediately. Like QAnon, it's a hard question on whether to even acknowledge these kinds of conspiracies[0], since denying them can even help to spread them.

The Trump wing is without question populist, nativist, often conspiratorial, and caught in a cult of personality. But they're not Nazis, and by trying to conflate these things, you do a disservice to the victims of actual Nazism (note the publication I linked to, from a country of founded by Nazi survivors that has quite a few supporters of Trump).

Charlottesville Nazis likely did use it, but they're far from being Trump supporters. They deeply distrust him because of Jared and Ivanka. And they're a tiny, tiny percentage of our population - all extreme right-wing groups combined (neoconfederates, Nazis, militia, etc) are well under 1%. You'll see SPLC trumpet things like "30% rise!" without mentioning how tiny these groups are (and they have a good idea about how small they are, it's just harder to fundraise when you discuss these things).

If you add up the costs of Nazgul5 HD (probably the cheapest BNF 5 inch HD kwad worth buying), DJI FPV goggles, a controller that you won’t outgrow in a month (either Radiomaster TX16s or Tango2), a charger, parallel board, lipos, a sim to practice acro, etc. you’ll probably reach something awfully similar to that $1300 price tag.
In my experience the "easy answer" here is the one that excludes the lab. Most of the people advocating the lab leak hypothesis are also saying it originally came from wildlife, i.e. understanding their position requires understanding zoonosis as well. The reverse is not true.

I took programming and not finance during uni, so I know nothing regarding this. From what I've gathered, the point of the market, in theory, is to determine the correct price of a stock. For some value of correct.

Obviously I'm not thinking of spreading false rumors after taking up a short position or similar, but merely wanting to profit from identifying a potential price mismatch doesn't seem inherently wrong to me. Am I missing something?

Is it the lending part that's problematic?
Hi HN,

This is Shin and I'm working on Eraser.

Visual ideation and brainstorming is tough via Zoom. During WFH, I wished there was a lightweight whiteboard that didn't have 30 buttons on it (looking at you, Miro). For things like visualizing half-formed ideas, on-the-fly architecture discussions, and sketching lo-fi wireframes.

Eraser is a canvas for visual collaboration. It's built on Excalidraw – the awesome open-source drawing tool with a hand-drawn feel. On top of it, we've added a file system, team-based access control, as well as a Quill-based text editor for meeting agendas and notes.

Here's the app (https://www.tryeraser.com) and the marketing website for use case inspirations (https://www.tryeraser.com/home).

It's still very early, but would love your feedback on Eraser!
It's just normal selling.

If I borrow a game from my friend in order to sell it to GameStop, anticipating the re-sale price will be lower then the trade in price, so I can give the game back to my friend and take a profit -- would be like short selling.
Hacked or not hacked is easier to say than ethical or not. Your ethical standards maybe racism to others, everyone have their own interpretation of ethics.

Certainly many would see a certain double standard of blocking ads, and then showing them in any form (whether opt-in or not), even if it is indirect.

Personally I'm more interesting in Coil and to some extent Scroll in terms of replacing ads with micropayments, than Brave's BAT - but I'm glad they are at least trying to do something that could act as an alternative to ad funding.

> Time to recharge is a lot more important than range. I can charge my gas tank in less than 60 seconds. If it takes an hour, then range doesn't mean the same thing.

To put some numbers on it, the usual way to compare charging rates of different energy sources is to specify them in range/charge_time, in mph in the US or kph elsewhere.

In the US gas pumps can pump a maximum of 10 gallons per minute (although many are slower depending on how well they are maintained).

For an average US gas car, which gets 25 mpg, that works out to a charge rate of 15000 mph (24000 kph).

A Tesla charging at a V3 Supercharger charges at 1000 mph (1600 kph).

A 240 volt 48 amp home charger does 44 mph (71 kph).

As a bisexual guy, I will throw in a second confirming anecdote.

Theories of sex decreasing because of men being left out of the economy, the secular decrease in testosterone, men being addicted to video games and porn, etc. have to grapple with the likelihood that casual sex hasn't decreased among men-who-have-sex-with-men but rather increased. If that were confirmed, then why are men-who-have-sex-with-women in particular not having sex?
Goggles sounds cool at first, but it's very hard for me to imagine goggles that I'd be interested in actually using. Maybe clever people will come up with something awesome, but the fact that I can't come up with an example that I would want is a bit of an alarm bell.
Yes, those are very bad investing reasons. And while it feels like a game, they are investing with real money. It's not just entertainment. They will end up making different hedge funds richer, and will only end up poorer and more resentful in the end.

About two weeks ago a post[1] went to the top of /r/WallStreetBets where a user advocated shorting the South African Rand. So in the space of days we went from WSB being a crusader against the evil shorts, to heavily upvoting the idea of shorting a struggling nation.

The user posting it had an absolutely laughable lack of knowledge on the trade -- they literally believed they would profit if the USD outperformed ZAR, not factoring in the interest to pay on the short -- combined with eyebrow-raising statements on SA history. But this didn't stop everyone from laughing at the idea of blowing up a country's economy. To me it completely poisoned any idea of WSB being a force for good, or even remotely rational.

Short selling is valuable. What's more valuable than putting your money where your mouth is?

The way I see it, every action you take in the stock market is a reflection of your beliefs; if you buy a stock, you believe, and are indicating, that the stock is undervalued. If you sell a stock, you believe that the stock is overvalued.

Short selling is a valuable way to indicate that you believe a stock is overvalued whenever you don't own the stock.

I understand why some may read about short selling and think it's profiting off of other's miseries, but they provide value in the market, and whether or not people are short selling the stock, if it's overvalued then it's overvalued.
Forgive my ignorance, but I'm probably not the only one who is wondering what COTS and RCS mean here?
What word in the subheading do you believe is like “female” in your example?

“Postdoctoral”?

I’m genuinely confused here.

It sounds like “experts surprised professional chemist solves problem in particle physics”.

“Professional chemist” is a meaningful title, unlike “female chemist”. The problem with naked “chemist” is that there’s a lot of grades — from student to hobbyist to YouTuber to postdoc to PI for industry lab.

How are you interpreting “postdoc” the same way as “female”?

One if those is a job; one of those is a biological fact.
