Yeah, other than having someone manually inspecting the transfer, that's kind of the best way.

I've noticed that most sites end up implementing "automatic confirmation", but after a while they shorten the confirmation deadline because lots of buyers just "forget" to approve.

I've also seen others (MercadoLibre) who have a "reputation" for sellers where they can get the money even before confirmation.

And even if small investors do share some fault, it is incoherent to end a critique with them and their (perhaps understandable ab)use of Robinhood's business model, and skip the pervasive estrangement of financial speculation from productive enterprise, a situation for which the largest players are predominantly responsible

What's the definition you're using for zero-sum? Usually the definition is about the amount of value being conserved, rather than having to do with the total amount of value passing through
I CAN relate because I grew up poor, have a GED, have student loans because my parents didn't pay for my education, live in a poorer area than my coworkers, have a really old phone, worried about bothering potential mentors, don't fit in at the gym, relish bonuses, overeat free food because it's free (pre-covid), talk to janitors, was paid less than colleagues, etc. and yet I still find her sentiment negative, classist, self-victimizing, and unhelpful.

In my opinion, this comes off as shaming privileged people for their privilege. She could probably say a lot about the hard work and lucky breaks she's had that have helped her advance in spite of her challenges, but instead she focuses exclusively on her disadvantages.

I attribute most of my social mobility to a ton of lucky breaks. Some people aren't as fortunate, and there's a lot to be said about that, but I don't think this article advances that conversation.

> People dont have to talk about them as currencies because they just work

Well that's not really true, it was headline news when Tesla started accepting crypto payments (and then headline news when they stopped).

Stores accepting crypto still makes the news, it's not common and not something that "just works." But what you can do is at least semi-reliably convert between crypto & things that stores do accept using the various conversions you listed. But you still do have to convert from crypto to a traditional currency to use it as a currency.
Some time ago I built a program based on L-systems which describes evolvable animated arthropod bodyplans:

https://beyondloom.com/somascape/index.html

It's less general than the framework described here, but may be of interest to the same kind of person.

Every command is a single character sometimes taking an argument to the right if available. A capital letter defines a rule, a lowercase letter references a rule, and a period terminates a rule. Everything is written to tolerate malformed programs, so that mutation always generates a program which remains valid.
Yep, used USDC just last night to buy a new computer, just before this big crash happened, thankfully (since I converted some crypto to do it). Actually using that for its intended purpose.
The equation seems pretty simple to me.

It would be interesting to see the inflation-corrected per-ounce price of Coca Cola over the last 120 years. Usage appears to be dropping so perhaps there's some hope.
I had the same thought and am planning on making an update whenever I feel inspired. Right now we just subdivide the y-axis equally amongst the partials.
Structure fires in modern buildings are actually kind of rare such that even in cities it wouldn’t be financially viable to keep a full staff of firefighters paid and equipped. This is (one) reason that fire crews are sent on medical calls. Yes - they might get there first which saves lives, but it also creates an additional justification to keep them paid. The majority of calls for city firefighters are medical, not fire related.
I think there is a broader food education issue in the US beyond nutrition- folks simply dont know what to buy, cook and eat, over the course of a life time. The quick fix is a fad diet which comes with instructions and recipes, but these ultimately dont build long term habits. So much of how we write about food here is focused on anti- anti junk, anti fat, anti carb. I think this hints towards the root of the problem where most people dont know what a good foundation is. What are the top 5 American dishes that arent a just disaster for your body?

I would find it deeply wrong if HN were to ask for the gender of their users, let alone their sexual preferences, but I would expect the same of a dating site.

There have been brokers like that for at least 15 years. Zecco was doing it back in like 2006.
I think twitter has nearly completely de-emphasized the actual "@Username" handle in favor of the display name. I recently went to create a twitter account for an app/service that I launched and when I inputted my desired username "@MyCoolApp" it gave me basically no indication that it was already in use, and just silently used "@AppMyCool" and set the account display name to the name that I chose.

It's kind of annoying since I would like to have chosen something different, but I'm not bothered that much about it.
Sounds like you are most of the way there, but are missing the last step of actually asking people to buy the product. There is an 'Add to cart' button 3 clicks deep into your site, when there should be a "Buy it" button on the front page.
Well.. yes and no. A lot of people unfortunately never really understood the real concept of a cryptocurrency as a payment mechanism and instead believe they are for getting rich quick.

That's the business Coinbase is in.

Now, if you are using cryptocurrency for payments you don't need Coinbase.

PayPal, since you mention it, knows that cryptocurrency is going to make it's business model obsolete as soon as it is widely deployed. That is why they pretend to allow you to keep and use Bitcoin on their platform.
Bwhahaha!

You mean the crypto that just lost 30% of it's value? Literally the topic of the article. THAT crypto is an inflation defense?

If you actually read the referenced studies from an evidence-based medicine standpoint they're pretty weak. They're mostly just observational with unreliable subject reported data. They haven't fully controlled for all confounding factors such as the healthy subject effect. And effect sizes are small.

I'm not claiming that saturated fats are necessarily healthy. Just that it's premature to label them as unhealthy. They're probably like almost every other food: fine in moderation but problematic when eaten to excess.
1/ a lot of people really DO believe in decentralized currency

2/ a lot of people are acutally using it as a store of value / currency: from drug dealers to people in states with failed economy such as venezuela or turkey, to chinese people wnating to somehow escape the system.

3/ btc is a gateway currency to other more useful currencies surch as eth / monero / zcash

4/ How is the "no profits / revenue" makes any sense for pricing a financial object in 2021 where amazon for example literally never ever gave a dividend to the shareholder, meaning, whatever you say, that people holding amazon stock are doing it ONLY for speculation of the "perceived value" of the price ?

In the end, btc is not that much more a "baseless asset" than most of the stock market currently.
Isn't that pretty much always the case though? A standard is only as good as it's most popular implementation.

I think it’d more accurate to say all interactions with the stock market exist on a spectrum between gambling and creating real value, depending on your strategy.
I participate in a Discord that is kind of similar. Not the same one, because my example has totally optional pronoun choice. But they have reason to be cautious of newcomers: before they added an interview/onboarding step, they were continually brigaded by trolls of various levels of sincerity. The internet can be a harsh place, and I understand the desire to create a refuge.
There’s something about giving someone op. It’s like the electric shock power experiment: people generally end up abusing it. This, though, doesn’t seem as pronounced in online forums.

I have a lot of good memories from IRC but it did create twisted dramas full of power crazy ops who, as you say, take it all far too seriously. That seems to be the key.

Every mod seemed to be charge of their own school gang. Highly concerned with their own role and power rather facilitating communities and conversation.
I have a Schwab brokerage account, until recently I could trade OTCs and can still trade warrants and futures. These are riskier securities than common stock. None of which is possible on RH as far as I know. When I created my Schwab account I received and was offered no specific training, and largely learned how to trade on YT, Investopedia, and articles.

My point is this: RH has become the media's favorite whipping boy because retail trading has seen a spike in popularity not witnessed since the .COM Bubble. A lot of this critique is aimed at RH's interface/app because it is substantially better than the existing brokerages still using websites from the 1990s (this article criticizes it for being "slick" and complains about confetti).

The reality is that you can be a risky investor and lose it all on any brokerage, including Schwab, Fidelity, or TDA. RH has made some mistakes and isn't actually a good broker in my opinion, but dog piling them is just a proxy for arguments against retail investors being allowed to invest freely in the market (e.g. I've read multiple arguments for banning options trading for accounts under $25K for one example).
> That doesn't mean Robinhood is encouraging it intentionally

This is news to me. As far as I can tell, everything about their app is designed for you to treat the stock market like a game. From the notification defaults down to the content layout. They also sign users up for a daily stock market newsletter that encourages "trading the news" and their unofficial user forum is essentially Wall Street Bets, which they have never tried to distance themselves from.

Making it easier to trade stocks through better UI design isn't inherently a bad thing, I agree. However, looking at the insanely disproportionate amount of their revenue that comes from "day" traders and speculative option junkies, they're extremely incentivized to keep milking this customer group over their more sane buy-and-hold users.

And we all know the data, a vast majority of these users will lose money on a risk adjusted basis compared to just buying the whole market in a passive ETF.

But there's no money to be made in passive ETFs, so Robinhood will likely never roll out automated passive ETF investing a la Wealthfront.

Robinhood has a responsibility to its investors to maximize profits, therefore its hilarious to think they won't do anything to keep encouraging their most profitable user segment to keep trading.
It's totally a thing. I see comments all the time on various sites where people use "he" by default to refer to previous commenters in a discussion thread even when they're known only by nickname.
I'm not seeing links to the numbered evidence.

The book I linked "The Big Fat Surprise" is a breakdown of the bad science that has been the mainstream dogma for years. One good example is the seven countries study:

> The major flaw with this study is that Ancel Keys had access to data from 22 countries but discarded the 15 countries that did not fit the hypotheses he tried to prove.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Seven_Countries_Study

Nutrition science has been basically captured since the 60s.

This story regarding the sugar lobby's influence on recommended diet was on hacker news just a few weeks ago.
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16202171

> Many health authorities

The timing of these authorities recommending a low fat diet, coincides with an upward trend of obesity related diseases.

> What's the evidence for that being healthier?

Grass fed beef for instance contains more Omega fatty acids, and vitamins. Mixed farming replenishes minerals in the ground--thus producing foods with more nutrients in them. Food grown this way also tends to need less chemical input and is often grown organically as the soil is healtier--and thus the plants are healthier. All of this and more is in the second book I linked "Deep Nutrition."

The best salesperson I've ever worked with was a convicted felon. That "dreg" could outsell every single person at the company.

Everything is gambling. Gambling in a casino is just a form where the expectation is always negative.

I think this actually happened before with Freenode staff breaking off into another network. Around 2006 staff got pissed at lilo (I forget the exact reasons) and started the Atheme network. Later that year lilo was run over and killed. After this staff returned and Atheme became the testing grounds for their new services and is today what Freenode runs as their services suite.

"Everything from preaching to media technology, from helping with funerals to discipling [sic] unbelievers."

This is one of those very frustrating conversations to have online, not that different from people saying "but it's the People's Democratic Republic of whatever."

The Baptist thing called "applied theology" is a part of the Dominionist movement. Fundamentally it's a theocratic endeavor.

I agree that theology has been used in a thousand ways across two thousand years and I'm sad that if you have a degree in "Applied Theology" from a small religious college in the Midwest it's definitely not just "I was thinking of becoming a minister."

But dominionism is a real thing. People major in it, they drop out, they get other jobs, and then you have this record of their beliefs right there on their resumes. It'd be easier if they had no degree at all.

Coinbase and FDIC insurance seems tricky at best... I think it only covers deposits made via cash from federally recognized institutions, and will only be covered if you leave it as cash.

If you are transferring tokens in and/or converting tokens to cash, I don't believe those transactions would meet the criteria to be covered by FDIC at that point. I might be wrong on that assumption, but FDIC is only deposit insurance, not withdraw insurance, and its under very specific terms.

Plant fat sources like peanuts, avocados, olive oil, etc. have a lot of fat, and this includes a lot of saturated fat. In the idea that it exists in lower portion?

The basis of US securities law is that rich people ("accredited investors") know enough to be responsible to take risks. Whereas poor people are too stupid to make risky investments without turning into degenerate gamblers.

A lot of debates about financial regulation basically come down to whether this is a good principle or not. Too many times, both sides are arguing at cross purposes, because one implicitly assumes this is common sense, whereas the other thinks it's classist and paternalistic.

There's a trend of "new, revolutionary Internet protocols" having reference (and, chronically, sole actually-useful, but with other ones always at various uselessly-incomplete stages of development so they can point to those and say "see, we're catching on!") implementations in languages that integrate like shit, crippling their adoption, rather than writing, say, a C library.

Ian Cooper agrees, in spades. "TDD, Where Did It All Go Wrong" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZ05e7EMOLM
To say that the stock market is gambling is to say that all forms of putting money at risk are gambling.

Buy a house as a rental investment? That's gambling.

Loan money to someone to start their business? Gambling.

Buy inventory of a product to resell it? Gambling.

One can make the argument that any money at risk is gambling, but this broadens the meaning of gambling so far as to make it useless.

Unlike actual gambling - where the expected return of each gambler is negative - stock market investing, like owning other assets, on average has positive expected returns.

Yes, it is possible to make bad investments. Just like it's possible to loan money to someone and have it go bad, or it's possible to buy a house and have renters stop paying. But we don't call those things gambling, so why call stock market investing gambling?
