Pump = buy a lot of something so the price goes up. Let's say $2 billion of it

<wait for more people to buy it as a result of the price movement, and news, etc.>

Dump = sell at the higher prices and match the increased demand

This is whats being advocated by market analysts, and it would be considered "fine": https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/21/03...

If companies don't collude but do it in a sequence, then when does it become ok?

As a different example, in 2014 employees alleged that Silicon Valley companies colluded to depress their wages, by acting like a cartel:

https://equitablegrowth.org/aftermath-wage-collusion-silicon...

But cartels can form without having to collude, merely by people acting in concert on a meme or belief (like HODL or SQUEEZE THE SQUOZE) and this seems fine!

I was simply stating my opinions. Read everything I wrote carefully. The combativeness was initiated by you.

As for the why this entire thread is so large the reasoning is simple. A lot of people disagree with my opinion and I have the capacity and willingness to interact with every single person who disagrees with me even when they vote me down.

I don't make any personal attacks or combative stances unless the other opposing party does so. Look at the thread between you and me. Who decided to go meta and shift the conversation to a personal one about my own character?

You could've stayed on topic and proved your point. I assume the only reason why you strayed is because you got nothing substantial left to say.

What you will find is that combativeness always appears to be the stance of someone who disagrees with you. It's a bias that exists with all people in human nature. Literally look at this thread we're both in. I was never combative with you initially. You initiated the first jab.

You changed the topic about zero sum games to my meta role in this thread and you're the one accusing me of straying from the topic? Come on man.
Thanks a lot! I will let you know if I need some help with the platform.
> It likely means selling some of their amortized equipment to buy different equipment.

Many run their business with the tools they can afford. Upon inspection, you would find that many such businesses have little to no resale value to lean on to make such an upgrade.

> They've likely had notice for a long time. Especially if they participate in their government.

What percentage of people laborers have the time to actively participate in government? I don't know the answer to this but I suspect it's shockingly small.
Bikes didn't require catalysts for a long time. And they often used less-precise fueling systems, like carburetors. But that has changed or is changing in a lot of places more recently.

Ask HN: How do I accept US cards/bank for online transfer to Indian bank accnt?
I"m building a platform where someone living in the US can invest in real estate in India. However for property purchase, the payment has to go into Indian bank account. I want to provide a simple payment link where anyone can use their US credit card or US bank account and make the payment transfer to an Indian bank account.
Ideally, I want to do this without paying a 2-3% transaction cost, because that eats into the commission I get from developer.
Razorpay does this, but they charge 3%.
Any suggestions on what existing APIs etc I could use to build this?

I'm not sure how much potential improvement you can expect there in the near future. There's a pretty large jump between the conventional superconductors and the new high-temperature superconductors used here, I'd suspect that it'll take a long time of incremental improvement to build stronger magnets with these new materials.

There's a lot of practical problems with building very high-field superconducting magnets. I'm also not sure how much you can gain from the thinnness of the material, conventional superconducting magnets have a lot of non-superconducting material in there as well to conduct heat so that the magnet isn't immediately destroyed on a quench.
You can take anything and do it poorly. That's not the fault of the people who created it.
Workshop is one of those places where Proton doesn't work so well in my experience. I end up with lots of crashes and failure to start when trying to enable workshop mods in most games.
I still don't understand why people want fusion.

Like fisson already does basically what you need and is easier in every way.

Yes, the energy density of fusion is higher but the energy density of fission is already so absurdly high compared to chemical.

There are only a small number of cases where I can think of this making sense, and even then it would likely not be worth it.

The problem with nuclear power is the lab to operations process, regulation and engineering cost. Fission will likely not improve on either of those compared to fission reactors now being developed.

If we can't can't get a Molten Salt reactor with a CO2 Brayton Cycles turbine into commercial deployment, I have little hope for Fusion.

And if we do, then its hard to see how Fusion reactors beats it on price.

That said, I want fusion for crazy rocket concepts.
You mean to say that fusion is only 5 years away? Amazing!
Did you consider requiring Steam Linux Runtime? The most recent versions use containers so that even glibc will be a fixed version.

It's funny how everything is a matter of perspective. I'd say that European governments are pretty "center" on average, given that they mostly range from social democracy to liberal conservatism.

But anyway, in most medium to large European cities there is little reason to drive. The restrictions on vehicles are overwhelmingly positive for residents' quality of life and the environment.
That equipment only lasts so long anyway. If you drove your care as much as the pros drive their lawn mowers you would be putting around 75,000 miles a year on the car! If the law doesn't take effect for 3 years then all equipment will have been replaced by the normal cycle.

Of course if you are a homeowner that equipment will last a lot longer. (home owners buy a cheaper grade of quality in general, so you can't compare lifetimes with pro grade equipment)

Also, I personally lean towards being in favor of GDPR and cookie law (wish there were some improvements though); I'd like to say it just because every opinion you find is "GDPR useless", "cookie law bad"
LA is like five times the population of SF. There's probably more wealthy people there just based on the sheer size of the population alone.
As I understand it, there are real questions about the type theory needed to correctly express what the BEAM does, and they have yet to be answered sufficiently. Nonetheless, a lot of people clearly want static types in their BEAM applications, and there are certainly parts of any application that don't cross the network. I'm interested in efforts like Caramel and Gleam mostly because of my interest in BEAM as a general-purpose platform, and because I want to see if they come up with solutions to the type theory problems.
not sure why you are downvoted. You speak the truth, and as usual get downvoted without a reply.

multiplayer game have the choices: a) ship game with malware/trojan to try to prevent cheats, or b) open up for cheats (even if client side only, like see trhu walls)

Most popular games chose option A (and still fail preventing both client side and remote hacks)
While the intentions behind this could be noble, these sort of heavy handed moves are anti-minority and hurt some of the poorest people.

Lawn and Gardening jobs are mostly done by immigrants and other minorities in and around Oakland. For these cash strapped individuals it is going to be a major burden to replace all their equipment with battery operated devices, not to mention, it is going to be a problem to charge the batteries as these people often work around the clock and can't afford to keep the equipment idle. Some of these people will go out of business, or will have to seek loans from loan sharks or pay expensive fines to the city.

Not sure Oakland can even make a dent it CO pollution in the world with this law but surely will destroy few more lives of city's minorities and vulnerable people.
The battery powered options from the good tool brands like Makita and Ryobi are very good. I have a Makita and would definitely recommend.

Best part? No small engine maintenance needed.
> You then get a proof that only the good (secure) behaviour takes place under clear assumptions, instead of getting the guarantee that none of the bad behaviours are exercised by your test suite.

An important point, and something people often get wrong when they mistakenly believe that they understand the basics of formal methods.

Here's an old quote about Sel4:

> The C code of the seL4 microkernel correctly implements the behaviour described in its abstract specification and nothing more.

The and nothing more part is vital. Not only are there no unexpected additional features, there are also no unexpected additional vulnerabilities. More precisely, if there are any vulnerabilities, they must either be in the spec, or be side-channel issues. Formal methods aren't very helpful against side-channel issues.

A five time improvement over the previous estimates

The past autumn my neighbors landscaper was using a leaf blower for 2 hours just trying to blow a whole wet pile into the wind to the curb - about 10 feet away. He was failing miserably, but didn't care and kept at it.

Infuriated, I stormed out during my lunch break with a rake and just did it in under five minutes. He didn't know how to react, so he just stood there STILL USING THE BLOWER TRYING TO HELP.

Strangest experience I'd had in awhile.

Edit - this is getting popular, so here's my baby: https://www.acehardware.com/departments/lawn-and-garden/gard...
Alternative outcome: At least some developers who are passionate about helping users who ask for help may look into issues with games crashing on proton.

I get your concern but I think it's a form of "perfect being the enemy of good". Your stance boils down to "don't enable effective workarounds to play non-linux programs on linux" because there is a chance it will reduce the already rare motivation for devs to make native builds on Linux.
This is probably the best outcome. Home users limited to electric, commercials pushed to 4 stroke where possible, and then set hours of lawn care noise during the day. Though you'd need carve outs for the size of property for homes, which starts getting into confusion territory.
Identity Is Not the Foundation of Permission Systems
Former Kaiser of Austria-Hungary, Franz Joseph, had a personal motto of "Viribus Unitis". That means "With United Forces". It was also used by A-H military.

In practice, the multicultural empire was greatly weakened by incessant nationalist bickering.

Once you have to declare that X is your strength or something similar, it most likely isn't.
We've had them up long enough for somebody to have generated some hard numbers by now. I wonder what the numbers look like on percentage of users that modify the settings from the default?
Why can't leaf blowers have just long cables and no battery? Would be completely fine for small gardens. Professional ones could have quickly interchangeable batteries.

On lawn movers, you could put giant batteries as you don't carry them, it's just a matter of cost.
A business doesn’t fail overnight when they say “to comply with local ordnance, we’re charging 5% more to replace our equipment”.

This complaint is brought up for every single environmental improvement, and it misses the concept that the risk is an imbalance, not a change which affects everyone. For example, you used to not be able to see across the street in LA on bad smog days – and I remember plenty of people insisting that doing anything about that would devastate the economy, and yet California seems to be not exactly an impoverished wasteland.
They are extremely wasteful. Auto manufacturers are always improving emissions on their engines but thats not the case in lawn equipment. Passenger flights and leaf blowers are two largely western luxuries that are absolutely horrible for our environment.
I already run Steam in Docker for this reason, with its own home directory mounted as a subdirectory of my real one. Even before games swiping my homedir I was worried about Steam wiping my homedir, as it's already done once in the past. [1]

Though ironically that means I can't use the new Proton runtime thing ("Soldier runtime" I think?) that sandboxes games via user namespaces, because my distro doesn't build the kernel with userns support so it would require me to give the Docker container more privileges.

My lawn is on the small side (I can mow it all in 40 minutes, even if bagging). But it's a thick Kentucky Bluegrass and needs to be mowed 2-3x a week during the cool, wet spring and mid-fall. If we go away for a week-long vacation somewhere in the spring, that's a thick, high mess of grass that I need to mow when we get back.
Carbon Monoxide (CO) does not cause climate change. (https://climate.nasa.gov/news/2291/fourteen-years-of-carbon-...)

It's dangerous to humans in closed spaces, but that's not where leaf blowers are operated. (And yes, I also hate them, but that's not he point.)
How to connect to the internet without Wi-Fi and get a speedier connection
The publisher and IP owner I understand. I don’t understand the used book market eBay and Amazon taking them off the real and virtual shelves.
still leaves the micro- and macro-expressions, small grooming cues (makeup, no makeup, eyebrows trimmed or not), hairline, head angle vs. camera, lighting etc. These are all things that humans very specifically deploy to define themselves and their grouping, and communicate with others. So I am guessing a whole universe of personal yes-no qualities, political and otherwise, are encoded there, quite intentionally.
The machine will know which sort of person tries to fool it in the way that you are trying to fool it.
I'm not sure this is enough. If you classify all old white men as Republican you can have 69% accuracy. I'd even argue the more such factors you control the less it means something.

I'm not that up on static typing, but it would seem to me that static typing would be difficult with different versioned nodes on dist as well as hot upgrade.

While a lot of users avoid hot load and restart/replace nodes instead, I don't think many restart/replace the whole cluster.
Are you accusing him based on no evidence or what is your point her? Of course he doesn't have prove that something didn't happen.

"Suddenly", no. They're targeting 2025 for the first tests if everything goes perfectly, 2027 for a first demo reactor, and we don't know how expensive a real reactor would be so we have no idea if this is the design that will one day unlock UNLIMITED POWER!

but on the scale of civilizations, yeah this could be it.
That it's badly taught, not necessarily bad in itself.
The US took very long pause from this principle.

It all started with Robert Bork and his book The Antitrust Paradox https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Antitrust_Paradox
https://www.epsilontheory.com/the-endemic-mindset/
What does IQT have to do with any of this? I get where you are coming from and to a certain extent agree with the principal. The problem is that the us government is a giant beast of an organization and can't be thought of as a single entity.

In FY19 the us government spent 4.5 trillion dollars.

To put that in perspective (these are the top 5 companies in the world by market cap and some quick googling): Saudi Aramco spent 150 Billion, Apple spent about 200 Billion, Microsoft was 82 Billion, Amazon spent 265 Billion and Google spent 127 Billion.

Combined the top 5 companies in the world spent less in an entire year than the US government spent in a single quarter (824B/year vs. 1,125B).

There is so much spend that it is difficult to have a company that in some way doesn't either directly do business with the USG or benefit within 1 degree of separation from USG spending.
My gas blower is 1100 cfm @ 220mph. I can't readily find the HP rating, but it's the 5-6 years ago equivalent of the current 79.9cc Echo. Mine is on the mid-range of the commercial blower range.
The commercial grade stuff is similar power and I have zero evidence supporting the claim that it’s less effective since I see the same crews taking roughly the same time in my neighborhood.
One major reason why electric lawn equipment isn't more popular for commercial: Excessive battery costs.

If you're a home-owner you can rotate a couple of batteries and likely only use the ones included with the equipment bundle(s). But commercial users don't have that luxury, they're definitely buying additional batteries. Manufacturers commonly charge an excessive premium for add-on batteries.

Example:

- Toro Brushless Leaf Blower (51820) + 2.5 Ah battery (88625) & charger (88602): $199

- Toro 2.5 Ah battery (88625): $165

So the battery add-on costs 82%~ of the tools total cost alone. As a homeowner after n years you'll likely respond by just outright replacing the tool for a new bundle, but in a commercial context this just kills the whole idea. According to the manufacturer at the lowest speed setting each battery lasts 90 minutes, and nobody is using this at the lowest setting.

Going off package will at the very least increase power dissipation. Exiting a package, going across a PCB, and entering additional packages will increase capacitance significantly as well as increase resistance and inductance. This will impact performance. If the increased capacitance does not change actual operating speed, then the buffers are supplying more current to overcome the capacitance, not to mention the potential ringing and other undesired effects from the additional parasitics. There is a penalty for going off the SOC. It is not just a narrative, it is physics.

The same memory address space choice is of course important, but its performance and power envelope is impacted by the SOC vs. separate package choice.

The combination of M1 performance and low power has happened due to a series of choices made by Apple. Forgoing user configurability and fixing memory choices at manufacture while using SOC tech made mainstream by the phone industry is one of those impactful choices. There are of course several other important choices, but it is incorrect to discard this choice as non-impactful.

Practically this incorrect. When a car is in single or double occupancy (which is majority of cases) it will pollute more than a motorcycle one. Yes, a filled bus or car might be more efficient, but the average utilization on an auto is very low since most people drive them alone.
That’s a valid point. But many “arguments” are not about a decision and are better thought of as exploration or discussion yet they are labeled “ARGUMENT” and that creates a posture exactly as you describe which results in the parties fighting to win rather than engaging in a curious dialogue about all elements of the debate.
because Google's stuff is so integrated into so many sites for many people - from analytics (which you have no choice of) to "Sign in with Google" (which you do), embedded Youtube videos, Gmail, Calendar, all the hosted libraries (jquery being the most popular), i just don't see a "google tab" are workable.

I've tried making my own. The problem is even though I use ProtonMail, and Etesync (calendar) and tresorit (storage) and signal (messaging) and Duckduckgo and stay on Firefox unless i have no choice, is that i still end up with lots of stuff running in the same tab that is "non-google" simply b/c everything utilizes and embeds so many google services.
Basically, human complexity means that tagging >> categorization.

I use electric/battery where feasible. This means I have a 4 cycle lawn mower and 2 cycle trimmer/weed eater. Sidewalk edger and blower are both plug in, and work fine since they are only used in the front yard. I have many other tools that are battery and just prefer plugin in less I need to be very mobile.

The problem with battery is that even within a brand, it keeps changing format (though seems to be settling a bit) and they are not as strong. They also don't sit well, so if you have stored them you have plan way ahead to do the work you want to do.
