It's nothing to do with knowing the trades 'in advance', they're the ones doing the trades! Market makers like Citadel are regulated to improve the prices offered in the market place. A stock may trade for $50 on the exchange, but Citadel can sell it for $49.50, they must improve prices and they do. Part of the reason they can do this is that Robin Hood orders are 'safe'. If a huge hedge fund comes to Citadel and wants to trade a million shares in TSLA, they likely know something Citadel doesn't and will rip their face off. That's why Robin Hood orders are valuable, luckily, the incentives of the retail investor (buying a stock as cheap as possible) and the market maker (selling to someone who isn't about to pummel them) line up.

If you think Citadel and its ilk are bad, you should see the guys they replaced! Market making is as old as the market itself, the modern advancements allow commission-free trading, massive liquidity and tiny spreads, before you'd be paying commission and buying a stock for dollars more than you could sell it for. They're good for the market and it's a shame this crazy conspiratorial thinking (which is never backed up by any real understanding) has taken hold of so many people.
Any governing body seems to leave a lot of room for "except for pigs" when they write down their rules. The bigger the body, the more potential pigs there are.
I would guess failure to use effective birth control methods could be correlated pretty well with income but I’d be pretty surprised to see any evidence that sexual activity was much lower in the tony towns. I’m also going to refer back to my memories of being a teenager to say that I often didn’t really put much stock in my parents’ values or wisdom, and hardly think I was alone in this.
On balance I’d rather just put up with chewing gum on the pavement thanks.

I don't want to impose the value on people that don't share it with me. I want to convince people to share the value with me first and rely on network effects to convince others to share the value until those that don't share it are in a minority.

As a native Spanish speaker, this doesn’t make sense to me.

Even if the argument of lowering the entry bar to non-English speakers was valid (I don’t think it is) the individual would be severely limited when it comes to collaborating/GitHub/external libraries/learning new programming languages.

A big advantage of learning a programming language is that once you understand what a “loop” or a “if” you can easily transfer that knowledge to another language.

Learning this language as your first language will leave you with very little transferable knowledge without much “translation” needed (pun intended)

Are you saying you weren’t familiar with Epic’s case?

This is a restatement of the Orwellian
argument that if Apple doesn’t want to be forced to open their store, they must open their store.

Also it seems like although you downplay Epic’s role, you have deployed this argument repeatedly now, and it relies on there being someone to force Apple, such as Epic or an Antitrust authority.

It could, or it could do a great deal of harm to the market. Perhaps Apple simply doesn’t agree with your assessment.

Passing off an insult as a compliment? Have you considered writing for an authoritarian politburo?

Yes. When I was a teenager I was enamored with communism. I grew out of that phase.

This point is unsubstantiated and does not match current reality in other software markets.

What other markets do you have in mind?

It really doesn't, as users can choose to use those security focused stores if they want to.

Not if they want commonly used Apps that are not in those stores.

> Similar to how users who value security or privacy may choose iOS over Android already,

No, it’s not similar because the iOS store does have all the apps.

> users can choose security-focused stores over the App Store in the future.

No, because then they wouldn’t have access to the wide range of apps.

No you didn’t.

All you say that seems relevant in those links is:

“ Really hard to say what would happen in a hypothetical situation where Apple allowed iOS alternative app stores. Maybe the overwhelming majority of users will continue to download only on the App Store, with a tiny minority of power users going to alternatives.”

If Coinbase starts getting included in broad market ETFs, leading to significant holdings in mutual funds and retirement accounts, it will greatly de-risk the chance of US gov killing bitcoin: nuking grandma's investments is political suicide.

> The project owner writes specs and gathers feedback until we feel like we have the right approach. Only then do we start writing code.

Uhm, it is hard to say what is the "right approach". I personally prefer a more iterative approach. You draft an architecture to solve the issue at hand and you iterate based on new requirements.

I generally don't like when a group of "owners/architects" close themselves in the basement to come up with a bunch of specs and documents describing : THE SOLUTION

My hunch is that that isn’t true because people on the story are shrugging off multiple infections.
I don't think the problem is "user stories" vs "tasks" vs "issues".

I think people have taken the (relatively simple) concepts from agile (as described in the Manifesto) and surrounded it with a lot of (often rigid) process and structure.

Many people really like the comfort that comes from knowing what the process/structure is. And problem-solving tends to add to an existing solution rather than examine whether something should be removed (per recent HN post).

Consequently, rules/structure/process grow "unbounded".

Fighting this tendency is hard because it goes against the easy, "natural" path.
There are many countries where sex outside of marriage and drug use occur at very low rates. As a result they have escaped the attendant social problems, such as single parent households, the AIDS epidemic, etc.
In my experience Glassdoor doesn’t mean shit. The single most dysfunctional, toxic work environment I’ve ever been in had - and still has - a high (>4) rating on Glassdoor. I won’t get into details but I was miserable and left after two months. They said all the right things during the interview but the reality was vastly different. The non-disparagement clause I had to sign on my way out was the icing on the cake. No wonder they have such a high rating if you’re not allowed to be honest about your experience.

At an employer prior to that, I saw first hand how companies were able to get negative but true reviews taken down almost as soon as they were posted. There was high turnover at that place and a lot of people were truthful in their reviews of the company. The Glassdoor rating was far higher than they deserved until they went under.

Im short, I’m sure you think you’ve got a great work environment, but I’ve been burned by bullshit Glassdoor reviews and I doubt I’m the only one.

Fair point, I hadn't thought of that. Makes perfect sense and gives me the warm security fuzzies.
I get why you're saying that, I don't think I explained what I was trying to say well. Occam's razor doesn't say that the universe is simple, only that of two theories that make identical predictions you should choose the simpler. That much makes sense on better grounds than a rule of thumb.

You're correct regarding the extreme unknowns, since of all possible universe-rules most are complex. However, should a simple universe-rule correspond with our own, it is more likely to be correct than any single complex universe-rule.

More importantly, the whole testable hypothesis thing? That relies heavily on the same intuition. Test results mean nothing if the universe can cheat, and in fact the universe can cheat. But we disregard the billions of possible cheating universes eating the same slice of the probability pie in favor of the non-cheating universe, should it exist.
It sounds like your kid has a similar ADHD experience to how mine was when I was younger, so I feel compelled to say this:

The best thing my parents did raising me (and it wasn't easy) was to put a lot of effort into exposing me to books I was interested in and to exercise a very light hand in terms of how late into the night I read. The combination of reading habits and a practiced ability to educate myself from books has served me very well in the decades since. It's operated as both a coping mechanism for the drawbacks of ADHD (such as habitual inattention to in-person communication) and, as my other skills have caught up, a key tool that some of my peers are lacking.

Daily routines were more difficult for me, and took a set of experiments in my early 20s (think daily alarms/calendar events on the order of "wake up" ... "work out"... "eat breakfast" ... "take shower/brush teeth" increments) to really lock into place (although they have taken a blow in the last year).
Still, keeping the guy who served his full sentence of nearly 20 years in the country (and with various additional restrictions) for anothe 15 years is not a nice thing to do. They should have shot him dead in Rome and be done with it, like in 2.5k other cases.

Nothing to do with the discussion here, just a random thought on the Vanunu matter.

Unpopular opinion: Declension and conjugation are nice! It means different forms for the act of watching X (watching birds), X that is watching (watching eyes), or X that is used for the act of watching (watching post).

> POW currencies are guaranteed to prevent this kind of abuse unless any individual entity is able to get more than 51%. There's an incentive in addition to this because corrupting the integrity of the network would also devalue the currency. Larger networks (like BTC) are harder to do a hostile take over of because it's harder to get that much compute (though mining centralization is a risk).

Couldn't this be re-written as:

> POS currencies are guaranteed to prevent this kind of abuse unless any individual entity is able to get more than 51% of the staked currency. There's an incentive in addition to this because corrupting the integrity of the network would also devalue the currency. Larger networks (like ETH) are harder to do a hostile take over of because it's harder to get that much stake (though validator centralization is a risk).

My (non-expert) interpretation is that staking is just an abstraction of mining, and they are secured by the same incentive system

> I look at overall GDP less than GDP-per capita.

As you should. But a quick search suggests GDP/capita is below where it was in 95, and only exceeded it for a short period around 2010:

https://www.google.com/search?q=japan+gdp+per+capita&oq=japa...

I'm not sure that the numbers support the narrative you're putting forth here; population decline is not offsetting the lack of overall GDP growth, and the GPT/capita numbers are essentially flat.

I think it's entirely possible for both "It is still a wonderful culture, people, and country." and "three decades of economic stagnation" to be true.
No, you are not wrong to say that... but that’s not what your parent comment was saying. Your comment was saying that messaging did not have much influence on your behavior later in life. I’m saying that just because it didn’t have much influence on your behavior does not mean it hasn’t had much influence on the behavior of others
No, we have very small amounts of likely toxic material circulating around.

Earth's atmosphere is around 5 x 10^18 kg. All the satellites put together are not going to increase the amount of toxic material enough to matter whatsoever.

Yes, it is their burden, specially when you're treating a subject that has a lot of depth.

You cannot form a decent realm of discourse when every comment is low-effort. This is the kind of thing that (for now, and only up to a certain degree) separates Hacker News from things like popular subreddits that only chant trendy opinions or act as venting boxes without much actual factual discussion going on.

FWIW I'm just as guilty as the GP of doing the same at times, and I should be called out for it as well whenever it happens. Sometimes we don't know what we don't know, know too much and take things for granted, or can't tell when our biases are showing. It is up to the community as a whole to keep the standards high.

That's a huge generalisation. There are many reasons why it might be quite impractical for somebody to walk or bike to work, yet perfectly fine to take an electric scooter.

This is very likely a political decision. AZ has not honoured their "best effort" contract obligations, the company priortized UK deliveries to honour their other contract and Western Europeans are reluctant to take it because it's less well tolerated than mRNA vaccines and now the very rare blood clot issues. It's too bad, because vaccination rollouts are well behind schedule with less than 10% or so of the EU population vaccinated, while the UK has vaccinated almost everyone under 50 and at risk groups and are out of lockdown. Germany by contrast is imposing additional lockdown measures.

I got my first AZ shot it and I'm thankful it exists and really hope it works against the new variants. Maybe this is a chance for poorer countries like Ukraine, Moldova, the former Yugoslav republics and Albania to get their citizens vaccinated. Western Europe should probably donate part of their stocks to these countries through the Covax mechanism instead of letting it go to waste.
You do realise the gold standard was abandoned a long time ago. What are they going to do, force people to buy it at gunpoint?

Back in the 60s the gold trade was highly regulated. That's why the plot of Goldfinger doesn't really make any sense from a moderns perspective. It seemed quaint even to me as a teenager in the 80s. Nowadays gold is just posh bitcoin.

There are almost always these exemptions for military/law enforcement use cases in EU Directives and Regulations, because while the constituent countries in the EU have miltary and law enforcement co-operation, they would veto new legislation that impacts their independence in those areas.
We'd have to distinguish between physical symptoms that are well-known long-term effects of viral infections and psychosomatic disorders that may be triggered without any infection whatsoever.

Losing your sense of smell, even permanently, is a known side-effect of Influenza infection:

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23948436/

The same is true for many inflammatory conditions, such as myocarditis.

As for diffuse symptoms that are most likely psychosomatic: Look into ME/CFS. These are patients which may have a very real perception of debilitating symptoms that have no tangible underlying physical cause. There's a lot of misguided activism surrounding the topic, because people don't want to be perceived as having a mental disorder, due to the associated stigma.

It's the ego that makes us believe there is something special about ourselves and that should translate into some form of recognition. The problem is most of us aren't special (or lucky), and as we age, it becomes clearer and clearer.

Occam’s razor isn’t applicable here, though:

If you have two explanations for a phenomenon, one of complexity level 5 and one of complexity level 10, Occam’s razor would say choose the simplest.

But if you have one explanation of complexity level 10, Occam’s razor does not say that you should reject it because a simpler explanation must exist. It makes no statement that hypotheses have to be simple.

I've often thought that, maybe, PoW crypto could be the Great Filter.

I feel like there is a good sci-fi book here. Bitcoin continues to gain speculators, continues to rise in "value", and humans are largely powerless to stop it. It ends up forcing humans to produce more and more electricity, thus heating up the planet in a horrible feedback loop. A crypto twist on the nanontech "gray goo" threat.
