> I won't short them tough, in the end I'm just a dog on the internet and have no clue how stonks work.

To be clear, Michael Burry didn't short Tesla, he bought put options, which gives him the right but not the obligation to sell Tesla stock for a certain price, on a certain date.

If the bet works against him, his options expire worthless. This puts an upper limit on his losses.

If you have an actual short position, your potential losses are unlimited.
You're underestimating the amount of resources required for chip production.
>It creates so many failure modes for the equity markets (failure to deliver chief among them).

Has this actually caused issues? Stock prices usually go up when the economy is doing well, so when short sellers default the economy/banking system is well prepared to absorb the impact. This is as opposed to something like MBS which causes a downward spiral of "people losing their jobs -> default on mortgage -> banks pull bank loans -> business spending drops -> people losing their jobs".

>the equity markets would make far more sense if we were to outlaw [buybacks].

Why? Buybacks are equivalent to paying dividends and then reinvesting them (which most people do).

Just a nitpick: road tax doesn’t go to roads. It’s just put into the pot for general things.

Your road tax is most likely paying for Pensions and the NHS. Primarily.

Normally council taxes are what cover roads, whatever can’t be covered by local council taxes is taken from the big pot, but only after civil servants at the local and national level bicker about it for a few years first.
So they will not "prevent" the government, they will cajole and corrupt people in the legislative and executive branches so it doesn't get changed.

>If there was nothing to see, there wouldn't be near the fireworks over the audit in Arizona as is currently happening :p

There are fireworks in Arizona because of the way the recount is occurring with massive gaps in normal procedure. All of the things we have learned over the years and put in place to ensure there is no fraud, are being completely ignored for the recount. In other words: the recount is introducing gaps that would allow fraud to occur that never existed during the actual election. If you wanted to be assured that the original tally was correct, this is literally the exact opposite of what you're asking for.

>One of the biggest red flags for her, she told me, came not during the counting, but afterwards, when workers entered the aggregated total tallies from counts into computers. Morrell was deeply worried that there was only a single person responsible for entering the data and no one to check that they weren’t inadvertently entering a wrong number or accidentally switching the candidates.

>“There’s nobody verifying that what they entered was correct. There’s no reading out. These are things that you would typically see in an election office whether they were doing an audit, recount, where you want some sort of quality control mechanism in place,” she said.

> switched to Node, and shortly thereafter to TypeScript

Undergoing a similar path. My problem is that the moment I switch to TypeScript and start writing my code becomes very similar to Spring. And at that point I have to ask a question of why would I not just write Java. Node on the other hand feels like node.
This seems to not be a new thing. It's illegal for US companies to release high-resolution images of Israel:

"In fact, all of Israel is shown in low resolution by all U.S.-based mapping services due to the Kyl–Bingaman Amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act of 1997. Entitled "Prohibition on collection and release of detailed satellite imagery relating to Israel," the amendment requires the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's (NOAA) Commercial Remote Sensing Regulatory Affairs Agency to regulate the distribution of zoomed images of Israel. While a review of the Kyl-Bingaman amendment is said to be taking place, images of Israel stubbornly remain blurry."

Huh, if I add a TODO to typical code then it's something that ideally needs to be done there (e.g. "todo handle errors from invalid inputs" -- it'll work if you don't but... it's not ideal), or in LaTeX reports it's something that needs to be resolved still before shipping to the customer (e.g. "todo set \endDate variable"). Never is it a design decision or documenting my thought process. Why would that ever be labeled todo or, if you mean that todos indirectly convey that, why would having todos throughout the code as a means of conveying design decisions be "great documentation"?

"This information is often completely lost in issues" - of course, because an "issue" is "a vital or unsettled matter" and are not meant to be revisited once resolved. Writing design decisions or thought processes in issues seems equally weird to using TODOs to document that. They're kept around because it costs nothing and you might want to refer back to it for details on some past problem, but I've never heard of that being considered documentation.
> if you wanted to pick a programming language based purely on expressive shininess, you'd write in OCaml.

Oh no you wouldn't. OCaml has at least one pretty serious problem in common with Go, only it's worse because even the basic math operators are functions. Therefore, you x + y to add integers, but x +. y to add floats, and there's no way around that because lol no generics.
Personally, I feel some sympathy for Gates. He lost his beloved father not long ago, his marriage has failed, and utterly ridiculous conspiracy theories have been spread around that he's micro-chipping people with covid vaccines!

Meanwhile, he's been working non-stop to advance vaccine creation and distribution for the world's population.
I don't think I can agree with this, since some TODOs have a different target audience.

The kind of TODO you're talking about is splitting a ticket into parts so you can hit an artificial deadline (ie, it's no longer 'done done', it's just 'done'). If the artificial deadline is your boss, then we're in a bad place. If it's another team needing a feature, that's pipelining and that's often okay.

For the TODOs that make it to PR without human error, I write most of them for the next person who adds functionality to an area, to either encourage them to do so or at least not make things worse. But sometimes it's for the person who hits the Rule of 3.

Those TODO's should be addressed in six months, not two weeks, and having someone call me on them in a PR is not particularly helpful. No, I'm not going to quadruple the scope of this story because you don't like the word TODO.

> Instead of birthday cake and ice cream, she got jail food and a bill for hygiene supplies

To spell it out, although she wasn't charged in the criminal sense, she was "charged" financially—for the privilege of experiencing false arrest.

There are other states with extremely messed up legal processes, such as those where not only convicted persons receive a bill for their public defender (which at least makes some sense, logically) but states where you are on hook for thousands of dollars even in the event that you are never tried or you are tried and found not guilty.
Scary.

When the truth about housing was exposed, the financial system was forced to reconcile. The system has measures in place that must be taken by policy. Ergo, the truth shatters that house of cards.

But Tesla? Meet Nikola! The fakest company ever, with no product, no development, a proven liar/scammer leadership, with failed deals and vapourware. Still. Worth. Billions.

The kids on RobinHood (and many others) are playing a different game, so the 'truth' matters less.

This is why I'm wary that market reality may not take hold for Tesla - and - that this reality is skewing a lot of other securities as well.

I almost wishing the Fed would bump up interest rates just a little to bring some reality into the markets.
>What is the actual cost/risk/benefit work out to be? Cost in terms of development, maintenance, hosting, opportunity for future expansion?

Right below where you quoted the author he stated his biggest risk - denial of service not due to his site having performance issues but his logging solution not being able to keep up if he had an unanticipated traffic spike.

That would indeed be a rather nasty case of self-ownage; the benefits of avoiding that should be pretty obvious.
Yeah for now, no one can predict the future though and who knows when things may change in Russia.
During the age of sail most of those forests were cut down and turned into farms or pasture-land. So there was a net increase in carbon emission just from the expansion in human activity.
You lost me at IBM.

IBM is an awful company to deal with. We were interested in getting an IBM data provider for .Net Core to connect to DB2 database. Figuring out the cost was insanely hard and nobody could answer which version we needed. I was then provided with a trial version, which did not work for version of .Net Core I was using. I had to dig deep and spend days figuring out why it wasn't working. I was put in touch with IBM engineer and figured out the issue before he did. After they provided the correct version, the setup was extremely annoying. Placing license files in a folder. Then, I had issues with errors and IBM deleted a bunch of forum threads and I was presented with many dead links.

Many questions on IBM forum were answered with "I sent you a PM", followed by people screaming "why can't you just openly share the solution".

Documentation was awful to non-existent.

They just want to nickle and dime everyone.

I decided IBM doesn't deserve any money, and I am using good ole OleDb to connect to DB2.
> Besides his “Big Short,” Burry made a killing from a long GameStop position recently as the Reddit favorite made Wall Street history with its massive short squeeze.

My argument is that there would have to be a chain of command and someone would have to actually commit the act, and the incentive is not there for anyone to do anything illegal.

Some human has that key, the human works for amazon. Amazon benefits from using that key, but no human does nearly as much.

A C-Suite is almost certainly financial benefiting but they're too far removed (in most sense) to actually do it, so they'd need to convince someone else to. No one else is financially incentivized significantly, considering the act is super illegal. The logistics of actually tampering with that many ballots means it couldn't be well concealed and maybe can't be done alone. So there must be a cohort of witnesses. Why has none come forward?

With all the media swirling around this and few people with adequate incentives, it seems unlikely that some big conspiracy would unfold in secret without observers.
Here come the media vultures circling in on Mr Gates as he arrives with his ticket into the lost and banned. Joined by several other folks who can never be named.

Light rail is for the rich. Done. Every time the rich want light rail it needs a transit oriented development, pushes out the poor, and saddles the new rich with a development tax.

Your statistics work in high density areas. Yes, I can load a bus full of people if they want to go to the same area. That requires a suburb to a centralized factory.

Now think of all the startups, do they all work in a centralized location, nope, because any centralized location is running a huge facility and is a huge company. Think Facebook.

How does Joe O‘Reilly get from her studio apartment on the outskirts of town to their job as a janitor for said small start up? She needs to ride a bus and arrive their on the buses schedule. Not hers. Bus headway’s in non large urban areas are thirty minutes to an hour. Our heroine needs to wait up to an hour of her time for a bus. She is still in the traffic, but traffic plus an hour. And then she needs to drive an half hour in the bus to get to her actual destination.

Car = 30 minute drive
Bus = 30 minute wait for first bus + 30 minute drive to first stop + 30 minute headway waits + 30 minutes to destination = 120 minutes

Joe wastes 2.5 hours per day in the bus system. 2.5 hours x 262 working days = 27.29 days wasted. That’s 13 more than the car in LA, ask her which one she wants to pick. I am going to give her the car that allows her to pursue her opportunities in the city.

China is building roads. More and more roads. They get it. Traffic wanes once you build enough roads. All the traffic is pent up demand.

As I understand there was some shared code between the two projects and udev was refactored into using systemd's code. Why not make systemd re-use udev code instead? Aka either expand udev's library or make a library out of the shared code that's used by both systemd and udev.

That way udev stays a separate project and you don't have to bring in a big library to use it. Systemd needs udev both ways so it changes nothing for it apart perhaps a bit of maintenance for a separate library for the shared code.

> As of March 31, Burry owned 8,001 put contracts, with unknown value, strike price, or expiry, according to the filing.

You can't figure out his position with this information.

For example, you could buy very, very out-of-the-money puts for a penny. (Your bet would basically be: TSLA loses 95% of it's value in the next week.) My total value at risk for this bet (of 8,001 put contracts) would be $80.
China's population is not homogeneous, and neither is Singapore's. Singapore has large Indian and Malay ethnic populations, China's got dozens of ethnicities and the main Han ethnic group is really a mix of different cultural and ethnic groups where the best analogy is how "White" people in the US are treated as the same ethnic group despite originating from dozens of European countries.

No population is truly homogeneous. The trick is putting together the right social and economic incentives so you can brush over the ethnic differences. To get to a point where people think of ethnic differences as less dividing them into tribes in a battle royale where only one can survive, and more as different opinions on the best flavor of ice cream.
You cannot interrogate the dog to discern why it alerted thus its "testimony" should be legally useless. It's not an instrument and it cannot be standardized and police departments and cops will always be incentivized to use them poorly as using it poorly will always garner more hits.

Realistically, if he made these trades OTC versus his prime broker, only the prime broker (ie, an investment bank) would know. That's how many of the biggest trades are done. The bank may lay off the short vol slowly, or cover it with several strikes and maturities using automated tools. The only time a bank would hedge aggressively is when they expect the customer to come back and do another piece of the same trade. Presumably if they thought the trade were extremely toxic, they would have passed on it.

If the contracts were listed, option traders would look at big trades that hit the tape without contingent stock printing simultaneously, and call the brokers that crossed those trades to ask which bank sent the order to the floor. Then they'd compare that against banks which are believed to trade with Burry, and filter to get a guess at how much he traded. This may be tough with TSLA because there is so much activity, but in smaller names where only a couple of big prints go up daily, it's pretty easy to figure out who trades what. The banks that trade options against big players get quoted on a lot of stuff that eventually trades at a different bank, so they can often infer the identity of the client when they see the print hit the tape.

CNBC, on the other hand, know nothing and simply report what they are told and what they observe in regulatory filings. Their chief function is not to break news, but rather to distribute it -- like a buddy who is very up-to-date on current events.

TL;DR You can often deduce some of the characteristics of a position, but there are ways for a very stealthy market participant to hide the characteristics of his stake.
Tesla has already achieved its objective: To bring about the electric car revolution. Its secondary objective of pushing the self-driving car revolution has done so-so. How Tesla performs going forward is more of a nice-to-have, but otherwise irrelevant since the ball is now rolling and not in danger of stopping anymore.

The remaining pieces now are solar generation on building surfaces, battery tech, smart grids to route the energy efficiently, cheap space travel, cheap tunneling, and maybe hyperloop if no one picks it up.

Inflation will only help you pay off your house if you have assets that you can sell for inflated dollars or your salary increases with inflation. Otherwise, you are only going to become poor and probably default on your loan as more of you income is consumed to keep you alive.

The impression I got from reading the v6 kernel code in the Lions book was that signal handling had been added in as a solution to a few specific problems (like "we're going to kill this process but maybe it should get a chance to clean up first"). If you're thinking about them from that viewpoint then the (now) well-known problems like interruption-of-syscalls and the initial "when you take a signal the handler gets unregistered" don't seem like such a big deal -- after all, the process is going to exit anyway.

It's quite possible for the Solar City purchase to have been executed at a terrible price that is basically crony capitalism and deserves jail time, while it simultaneously being a great value add for Tesla. Controlling solar generation, backup batteries, and car charging all at once is difficult when cobbling together pieces from vendors that don't interoperate, when there's nobody else willing to write the middle ware to connect it all.

With Tesla's ridiculous valuation, they can make all sorts of terrible purchases like that and still succeed just fine.
