HFT trader here. I’ve commented on this story in another context, but I’m virtually certain there’s an error with how Robinhood is calculating wash sale adjustments.

First, it is true that you can’t deduct a capital loss if you buy the security back in 30 days. However that loss does rolll into an adjustment on the cost basis of the next trade you make in the security. So as long you have a net trading profit on the stock over the year, then you don’t incur any additional tax liability.

Really the only way to get screwed by the wash sale rule is if you’re making a net loss on a specific security. This might be common in a high frequency pairs trading strategy. Say you make $10 million net profit trading stock A but lose $9 million trading stock B because you use it as a hedge. In this case you genuinely would be stuck with a $10 million tax liability despite only making $1 million in actual profit.

However in this case, I really doubt that’s what happened. The IRS rules on wash sales were written in a bygone era when high frequency trading didn’t exist. The rules are very poorly worded and hard to interpret.
Instagram is a prime example of it. They started the platform by making it default that you can't delete old comments. You can't even easily view them. That makes it easy to change a users behavior as 'that is how it always has been'. It is scary how much control these platforms have and how they are increasingly preventing users from removing/viewing past content.
Or have both clients upload different parts to the server over the course of the transfer, and optimize for the client with the highest upload speed to do most of the heavy lifting (this assumes you want the server to definitely have a full copy first).

Sounds like I'm saying make the server another peer as you may get even more transfer speed sending half the file to the server, then the other half from the server and sender to the receiver - depending on which you want to have the complete file first/faster/at all (more general).
I had one of those early Macs.

If you check the official Lion support page from Apple, you will see that it requires an Intel "Core 2 Duo", that's the model that came after the Intel "Core Duo" (without a 2 in between) that shipped with the early Intel macs.

Snow Leopard (the version before Lion) does support the "Core Duo" processors, but they can only run 32-bit apps there, because the very first Intel Macs from Jan 2006 used 32-bit Intel CPUs. The ones that replaced them in September 2006 had x86_64 CPUs.

Apple killed support for PowerPC and 32-bit x86 at the same time with Lion.
We're using 2 Paradigma water-based vacuum tube solar panels and pull even during the coldest winter days around 20kWh of thermal energy for hot water/heating out of them - even with just passive/diffused sunlight.
Only on really dark/cloudy days it might just get us 1-3kWh.
As fallback we still use natural gas, the wood burner which is also integrated in the hot water circuit is out of service since several years, as I just couldn't run it anymore with a good conscience knowing the extreme pollution those cause and the fact that burning wood is possibly the worst thing CO2-wise one could do given the current state of affairs.
Sadly, the existence of Swift Package Manager has pretty much taken all the wind out of the sails of third-party package managers, and it has done so far too early.

I don’t think that’s true. It’s supported in any ESM module, per the ESM standard, without any config or runtime flags. If you mean using ESM to be the opt-in mechanism, that’s not a meaningful distinction. CJS modules and require have always been synchronous and likely always will be. Changing that would break too many things.
The arrow keys on the smaller model are unfortunately full-sized (like the older Magic Keyboard 2).

I realize I am late in replying.

What I do, while using OpenBSD, is limit which users access which apps, dividing my activities by user according to risk level and which apps a given user uses and sites that user browses to (some user accounts I use regularly do not use a browser). Also obsd has pledge and unveil built in, which are kernel API calls they put in apps which limit which syscalls and directories an app can access. Those combined give me some increase of confidence.

(Edit: On Debian I could do this with multiple simultaneous X sessions, moving data between them via a shared text file. On obsd, one could use SSH and some scripts, so they can share a desktop if/when desired.)

Maybe there is a maturity and effort level continuum, where we can help people along as appropriate, per their desires, interest, and situation.

They do, although Apple doesn't use third party libraries very often and when they do they tend to vendor them.

Note that the AGPLv3 has an exception allowing you to link to GPLv3. GPLv3 allows for private use, in other words keeping changes secret as long as they stay on your own computer.

In effect, it becomes a weak copyleft- akin to MPL-2.0 where as long as you keep it in separate files code can stay closed-source.
While there are indeed big challenges to making the Martian atmosphere thick like the Earth's, I wouldn't buy the statement "since Mars has 38% of Earth’s gravity, it can only retain an atmosphere of about 0.38 bar".

Compare: "since Venus has 90% of Earth’s gravity, it can only retain an atmosphere of about 0.90 bar".

The relevant thing is the gas escape rate. Aside from the magnetic field, this is dependent upon the temperature, atmospheric composition and the escape velocity. Without plate tectonics to replenish it, even Earth would eventually lose much of its atmosphere. Note that Venus has a weak magnetic field also, and the interaction with the solar wind is believed to be one reason why there is so little water in the Venusian atmosphere.

So, if you were to add enough gas to the Martian atmosphere, it would have a higher pressure until the gas was lost over thousands or millions of years.

I wouldn't try aiming for terraforming Mars with today's technology, but that doesn't mean that tomorrow's technology might not be able to. Personally, I think Venus is the better choice for terraforming anyways.
> But I do note that your examples are from quite a narrow sector. TypeScript, Go and React are all languages. TypeScript is a nice facade over JavaScript, and React is ... well, a very powerful DSL.[ß]

Can you clarify what you're talking about here with regards to React? I can see calling JSX a DSL, but React is a language now? And there's no JS / TypeScript in your React code base?

In the other thread about this topic here on HN¹, more than one commenter said that they didn’t comment or downvote this on YouTube since it they were afraid it could affect their Google account. I commented this on one of them:

This right here. Many people say things like “Google would never…”, and they might be right. But that’s not what matters, what matters is people’s beliefs about what Google would do. And this is why Google should have absolutely no influence over your web browser, your programming language, etc. Again, that’s perceived influence, not actual influence. The fear exists regardless.

A good friend of mine is the head of the ICU in a mid-sized hospital in a city that's been hit hard. Every day he wakes up at 5am, works from 6am to 9pm, goes home and cries for half an hour, then goes to bed.

That's been his daily routine for close to a year now. The hardest part for him is that now everyone in hospital dies or suffers alone. Maybe the family gets a few minutes on facetime, but that's it. He's one of the strongest and most resilient people I know and it's destroying him.

Agreed.
As a non-straight, the notion that men and women are driven by slightly different interests, that result in different sexual and dating behaviours, is so obvious that I am amazed it would be a revelation to any straight person.

Just look at the relationship patterns of gay men vs. lesbian women. About 40% of gay men in America are in an open relationship. The practice is basically unknown among lesbians. Infidelity is reported as slightly more common among gay men than among heterosexuals. Nearly unknown for lesbians.

Pornography, sex clubs and hookup apps are close to ubiquitous among gay men. To the point some have sardonically argued these things are gay culture. They exist for lesbians too, but comparatively speaking they're niche; lesbian culture is, arguably, centred on poetry.

Left to their own devices without the other sex to mess things up, the pattern is clear enough.

As far as I remember it xfire mostly developed their own client into the grave, making it more complex and less useful on each change.
Honestly, I love the remote, it’s so much better than every other remote I’ve used. I will admit that 2 is small issue (you can just say “go back 30 seconds” into the mic), but not enough for me to write the thing off. For most things I’d prefer to navigate with swipes than repeated click click click of buttons, like other remotes.
Haha that's great. In this highly commercialised market, it is almost impossible to persuade consumers to reduce their consumption levels. So a call for more socially-conscious consumers is much more rational. More consumers should be aware of their power to buy and prefer products of companies that are ambassadors for sustainable and ethical practices.

No, and you know what, neither would Apple, otherwise they wouldn't offer M1 Macs.
The mistake is that everyone thinks Apple wants its product to be everything, just because their marketing tends to encompass and emphasize bold claims of universality.
The reality is that Apple knows pretty well its segmentation.
The Pro in the iPad Pro is the same Pro of the iPhone, it simply doesn't mean what the average hackernews reader thinks it means.
The Pro is a videographer, a photographer, an influencer, a consultant and so on. In general, a subset of the creative professions or someone that needs a slick device to show its presentations on.
I'm lucky enough to review tech products for a living and I've been through the last seven generations of iPads. iPad Pro is a product of its own league. It's perfect for low-distraction pro tasks like writing, for example, with light research on the side, but it's absolutely the best device I've ever used for professional photography workflows.
I have, indeed, suggested to many photographers to absolutely buy the iPad Pro, as it's simply a game changer. The quality of the screen paired with the speed of the the AXX chips is unrivaled on Macs, unless you spend quite some money to buy a Eizo monitor or some other professional device.
So here's a simple "Pro" definition that in my book is way more effective at explaining why the iPad Pro does not need to be what so many users here think it should be.

Locked down as in Apple won't let you run anything not going through the store on the device because it breaks their business model.

You aren't going to install a custom browser to test your front-end (or get usable devtools), no brew or package manager, no custom IDE unless it's built for iOS with its insane limitations (nobody is going to bother). At best you'd be able to port some dev tools and install with your certificate - and for what gain exactly ?

It's just not a general purpose computer, and it's certainly not a dev machine
So, I moved to Denver around 3 years ago. There are a lot of "Outdoor Bros" or whatever you want to call them (I would probably get labeled like that by others).

The traffic jams on weekends are real, but avoidable if you know when and where to go. There are plenty of things to do that will avoid the crowds people complain about. It's not that hard, but the popular stuff everyone knows about are always packed.

Cultural homogenization is really dependent on who you talk to and who they hang out with. I have tons of friends that complain about this here, but from what I observe they don't try to hang out with people that are much different than them. There is diversity here (could be improved for sure), but you need to make an effort to seek it out.

I think from a surface level glance those things are true, but if you want to get more out of what the area has to offer and avoid the pitfalls, it's not that hard although takes some effort.

Max, as you point out, is necessary to actually see the long tail.

What a strange way to put it. No one wants to see the long tail. The long tail is the means, not the end.

To a lesser extent even percentile buckets can be deceiving if they're too big. 99th percentile with 5-min buckets can miss significant but brief (~3 second) degradations.

Now that's the actual reason to care about max. Otherwise you have values (and often negative user experiences) getting lost in the aggregation.

Asia has been familiar with the limitations of Face ID since it debuted, COVID just brought it to the West.

It's common (as everyone is now well aware) to wear a face mask when sniffly or coughing, but also, many in Asia wear a face mask when driving a moped, to try and filter out some of the pollution.

I get the vague impression that Apple is moving toward having both a thumbprint reader and Face ID, which I would welcome. It annoys me that it's taken them so long to roll out the iOS update which will let my Watch unlock my phone, that by the time I get it I probably won't be required to wear a mask in public anymore.
"The government forcing companies to provide service would be a violation of their speech rights."

-- True, but the government can institute a bill of rights for digital platforms, and make it mandatory for companies that want to have section 230 protection.

Youtube will be free to choose between following the bill of rights, or becoming a regulated media like the TV, or being prone to defamation lawsuits and be responsible for its content.

What that bill of rights would look like? That's a different story... but google, or any tech company, having the power to just delete your gmail/email account, and erase all your stored data at will it is kinda scary.

There should be a happy medium. We do this for evictions already (i.e. there is a process for the eviction, we should do something lightweight for the digital space as well). Eg, if google has determined you have abused on your email, you will have 30 days to retrieve your data, and contacts and transfer them somewhere else. Losing access altogether is very disruptive.
It's utterly and inconsistent in use between apps. SOMETIMES clicking on the far right or far left side of the touchpad SOMETIMES jumps forward 15 seconds and sometimes pauses. And it's different between apps AND different each time you try it.
