This is incredible on many fronts and I congratulate them.

But I do need to reiterate my stance on this: they are a gambling company.

The proof is in their own words in the S1: we are a safety first company. What Fintech firm says that?

Nonetheless I'm sure they will continue to expand their product line away from gamification of day trading and into gamification of investing... A much better business.
Just signed up, I'd like to have my wife try this out as well. Am I able to share my account with her?
American Apparel still exists as an online-only brand... wonder what their sales are. However it is owned by Gildan and despite the name, most of its goods are NOT made in America. Dov Charney (AA's founder) now runs Los Angeles Apparel, which does produce all its clothes in the U.S. (Los Angeles), and is employee-owned.
You misunderstand. The information is there, constant, regardless of how many participants are in the market.

The addition of new participants helps spread, judge and value the information, more than fewer participants, which allows the information to be better incorporated into the price, resulting in a more efficient (fair value) market. As a result, the asset becomes more liquid and "fairly priced".

There is no "real price" for assets that are market valued, only whatever the market will bare. Market efficiency is about more and more participants agreeing on the going price for an asset. While this overall global disagreement on price can never be captured completely, its state is reflected by the going price and the amount of spread (difference between ask and bid price).

A big part of efficiency is being able to ask yourself how much return can you expect if you were to sell the asset right after you bought it. High efficiency, and you can expect to be able to get your money back with high certainty. Let's use an AAPL stock as an example. If I bought on today at it's low, it would have cost me $135.76. If I wanted to sell it, its be super easy. The closing spread was ask 136.96 bid 136.60, or .36/136.60 = ~0.26%, so if I bought and sold into that market as fast as they could, that is around how much I could reasonably expect to lose. The high liquidity and small spread makes that asset easy to move at low overhead cost, hence more efficient.

Compare that to wanting to buy an asset in a much less efficient market, for example real estate. Buying is not an efficient process. Not only does it take time to close, but there are overheads in both time and money that helps slow everything down and increase costs. There are much fewer participants. Not every house is the same, but also not every house is for sale. If you buy a house, you have very low certainty that you can easily sell that house right away and get your money back completely, at least least not without some other factors (time, money) put in.

If you don't like real estate as an example, consider private equity, where one is subjected in 5, 10, 20+ year lock ins of large sums of money, to buy into slices of partnerships or joint venture funds, where really one has no idea how much their investments are valued until many years later because there is no market for what they bought until everyone gets to cash out in the future. Never mind the equity fund capital calls which make you question whether your investments have indeed gone past zero and are now negative.

Low efficiency doesn't translate into loses though, just like high efficiency doesn't translate into gains. The two are independent. Low efficiency however is rife with opportunity. There is very little chance one can sell $AAPL stock at much above the going fair market value on the exchange. The same can't be said for low efficiency real estate, where it's easier to make a living off the inefficiencies in the market e.g. flipping property to the less educated new participants in that market.

OwnerRez | Remote (US) | Senior Full Stack Engineer | Full Time

OwnerRez is a vacation rental software platform for property managers and owners that integrates with channels like Vrbo, Airbnb, TripAdvisor, and booking.com as well as direct websites to manage vacation rental properties, bookings, and guests -- making the entire process automated.

We're looking for a senior full stack engineer to join our small team to design and develop features end to end -- from web UI to backend business logic, services, and the database.

Our stack: .NET (MVC, jQuery on the frontend, WebAPI on the backend), MySQL, Redis, DynamoDB.

Details: https://www.ownerreservations.com/senior-software-developer
Mine are about four years old, I got them not long after they came out. I’ve upgraded my iPhone but I’m still using the AirPods. Battery capacity is probably about 60% of new.

They’re easily the longest lasting in ear headphones I’ve used.
I have all but praise for Fly. It's really easy to deploy an entire Elixir Phoenix production running on multiple regions, and their CLI is really thought out and well put together.

The entire team is active on forums, and the response time are fast and issues get fixed and deployed in hours.

Running a Phoenix LiveView on a fly instance close to your users is the closest you can get to an SPA experience without going full JS.
Ask HN: How to safely share passwords with normal users online
I thought this would be simple, but how do you safely share passwords with normal users online. Services like 1Password require that you create a guest user with a vault. I'd like to use something that is SOC2 compliant. And it seems like if I wanted to use something like OneTimeSecret https://github.com/onetimesecret/onetimesecret I'd have to host it myself to be sure it was safe. What do you guys use?
For most businesses, a .com domain is the clear best choice.

For specific countries, having a country code TLD as well can avoid confusion (is it .com or .co.uk? Both/either!) and increase confidence of local support and/or regulatory compliance.

.io can work for API-based service businesses, or (oddly) games.

.net can work for ISPs, Telcos, etc, although generally again in tandem with the .com.

The rest of the TLD explosion is basically a scam, predicated on companies buying the MyCo.<whatever> domain to try to avoid customer confusion, trademark dilution, negative publicity, etc.

Just spend the money on the .com if you have to, or make sure you pick a company name that has an available .com and social media accounts. It's easily worth it to lock in the right name.
Yeah, gonna be honest, I'm not going to read that :p

There were 78 contributors with 2 frequent (1 being a bot) and 2 occasional (1 being a bot).

They actually told me on the phone that they "were not able to delete my information unless I was a California resident". IOW, you're exactly right: they can delete it, they just won't.
You can do that on this laptop if you don’t buy it from Amazon. There are plenty of YouTube videos showing how. If you but it from Amazon, like I did, you can set/change BIOS passwords, but Secure Boot cannot be changed and you cannot add a USB drive to the boot order. I spent hours trying to find a workaround.
This is similar to what the military calls a "pro forma". This is a simple form with numbered blanks. You transmit the form name or number, and the values, as "1 - 105, 2 - 220, 3 - 3741 ...". Military units in combat send a "strength return" to higher headquarters each day, to tell HQ how many soldiers active/injured/dead, how much ammo they have, and how much fuel they have left. It need to be sent in a simple, condensed format. Visualize a sergeant in a foxhole reading those off over a radio. Someone at a headquarters summarizes those for the commander.

Here's a summary strength return prepared for George Washington in 1776.[1] The fundamental format didn't change a lot through at least Vietnam.

I used to have deep conversations as a teenager with some of my friends, and on occasion I would say something as an argument, like "suppose I threatened to kick your ass." I meant no ill intent by it, it was an example of bad behavior used in discussion. But on a couple of occasions it was taken as a veiled threat, like I was getting upset with the discussion. Technically I did nothing wrong there, but later I came to see why it would be taken that way sometimes by some people, and stopped doing it.
> It's somewhat surprising for a radio amateur group to take it upon themselves to complain to the FCC... Sounds a bit like spectrum vigilantism to me.

Surprising? Have you met any hams?
3D XPoint is amazing stuff. I'm really bummed out it hasn't taken the SSD market by storm. Even highly technical people fail to understand the critical importance of fast random access for a multitude of problems.
That's very similar to the solution I'm using and that I hate - it involves unnecessary generation and storage of strings and is far less ideal than something like the implementation in tstl I linked above where you can simply provide a custom hash function and equality comparison.
I have my email with Fastmail too and issuing a RCPT TO command via telnet returns the following:

I'm not sure about Missouri's business requirements, but others (e.g., California and New York) require Foreign Qualification, which Stripe doesn't help with, and can be quite expensive, and difficult.
You know what I would pay for is flashable firmware for my TV that, for example, removes the 'google' / 'smart' parts from it.

Currently I just have my tv at stock settings with no network connection but it keeps annoyingly asking for a network connection.

What would be my dream is the apple TV + xbox utalising hdmi-cec to auto turn on and auto switch to the correct source then turn off when done so I didn't even need the tv remote

Its not about how useful it is to others. Its how it makes the web worse for users when their perfectly valid email address gets rejected because the flawed library said it was fake.
Not really. I e-sign with my investment company all the time. But it is a one-time e-signature, not a stored signature that I've agreed can be used (and/or stolen/hacked) anytime.

With this machine, if purchased from Amazon, the settings remain greyed out even if you set the Supervisor PW. That is not the case if you buy it elsewhere.
Personally I think programming language is about a compromise between performance and convenience.

For instance, I program in Python if speed is irrelevant. Rust if it is very relevant. C# if I want a large project where performance is somewhat important.

I think there are a wide range of languages for each "category" where I put Python, C# and Rust above, but those 3 are my current favorites.

Certain languages are very well suited to specific tasks. You learn these with experience. Initially I loved python because it was a joy to slice and dice strings in it. I understand that Ruby is popular for the same reason. Closure is great if you want lots of agents processing stuff on a network stack.

If I were you, I'd just focus on making fun projects in your favorite language.
Last update for Android TV did the same to me (before I did the same thing as OP, appletv + factory), kept showing ads for shows on apps I didn't have installed
Interesting. I thought that Julia is tied more directly to data science and running mathematical models.
There is really no point validating emails beyond checking there is an @ in the address. Send an email to verify. You can even have an address with no . if you own the tld. foobar@me is a valid email.
Late 90s my first employer was using some old mainframe based email system. When we switched to something new I found out it was Notes and gave a deep sigh when I saw it. It looked antiquated and clunky even for the 90s.

An interesting thing about things like version control and test automation is that they are almost like "meta interpreters" that interpret your code, but do so for purposes other than executing it. Syntax checking and linting come to mind too. Those things are possible, not so much because the program is in text format, but because it's in an open format that anybody can parse.

If a visual programming language stored its programs in a human readable or at least open format, then it would be possible for people to create those tools for it. But then, people would start writing and editing the program directly in its storage format, and it would cease to be visual programming.
It sucks more when your unlabeled, poorly packed batteries catch fire and take down cargo planes. It sucks even more when they take down passenger airlines, because a lot of mail is shipped in the bellies of passenger flights - and if it's not labeled as prohibited for air transport, you have no idea how it gets from A to B.

Different carriers have different regulations, and you can legally ship small lithium cells (at least on some carriers) without a lot of restrictions. There are also different restrictions for "batteries in equipment" versus bare packs or cells. But places like Hobby King tend to just shove stuff in a box and hope it doesn't catch fire.

The FAA keeps a list... https://www.faa.gov/hazmat/resources/lithium_batteries/media...

They're really not something to treat as casually as an awful lot of people treat them. :/
IBM was the Google or Microsoft of the 80s. Like HP, in realigning the company to survive they destroyed what made them great. I worked with many smart IBM folks… without exception they were laid off or driven out to meet some random metric.

The Red Hat acquisition and spin out of the services garbage might make them more relevant again.
Personally, I do this kind of thing manually if I want to send some positive feedback to people who work at companies I like, but they don't have any obvious emails published.

A recent example was the CEO of Evernote for the work put in to their behind the scenes series although I don't expect anyone to read it of course. People are busy!

I wrote a bit about it here: https://utf9k.net/blog/email-lookup/

Now does this scale? Not at all and I haven't read the email spec or anything like that. It's also handy in a pinch if you wrote down an email but can't remember if it's spelled correctly or not.
I'm sure he justified it internally as it must be a fluke and not that they were obviously noticing and zeroing in on the source of fraud.

He also fucked up by telling them, oh I just use a few for movies. Like as soon as they brought him in for questioning he should have known to get very very rid of any all evidence related to the cards, I mean come on.
It doesn't matter whether the client is a browser or another server. The side that receives the request must always secure the data. You should inform your readers.
What does safety first even mean in that context?

Do they mean safety of the company and/or end user?

By danger, are they referencing the danger of losing all your money due to gambling it away? Or maybe avoiding suicides by making sure they always report correct balances?
The entire point of the article is that it is not good enough though.
This shows that Robinhood is a true "tech company"!
I wonder if there is any causality here and if so, what the chicken and egg is here... Do old people mimic the scammers who text them or did scammers start mimicking old people?
There are projects for which CD is not a good idea - projects where financial or physical harm may come to someone if a mistake goes out - but in my experience the majority of projects don't fit that definition.

Also, the great thing about CD is that mistakes can be fixed really quickly: push another commit.

Not using CD is no guarantee that you will ship less bugs. In fact I'd argue that it makes shipping bugs more likely, because the friction involved in deploying means you'll bunch up multiple changes in a single release - and that's a great way to discover bad interactions between changes too late.

(Even if you don't use CD to production, having CD to a staging environment is a no-brainer in my opinion: giving everyone on the team access to a current demo of the main branch is another big productivity boost.)
Or, in electrical engineering, "power factor" and the distinction between kVA and kW.
Brickit’s AI Camera Scans Your Lego to Suggest Things You Can Build
Even if you didn't run many (or any TSRs like Sidekick), there was a bit of fiddling to maximize the amount of the first 640K bytes available. IIRC, you could load the commonly used Microsoft stuff in the upper memory 384K.

This seems to be close to what I used to do:

No, I’m OP and experienced it first hand. It was after struggling for hours and calling Acer support that I found this review, which accurately describes the problem/situation. I did not write the Amazon review. FWIW, I submitted a claim to my credit card extended warranty insurance perk but have yet to hear back.
Lol, it doesn't work that way. The copyright owner has to show harm. "The burden of proof here rests on the copyright owner, who must demonstrate the impact of the infringement on commercial use of the work."

Basically, the record company would have to make the case that because this cop played the song, they are losing sales because I guess people are listening to this instead. And not on YouTube, in person, because the person posting it on YouTube would be the one responsible for that. These arguments are utterly absurd.

Really wish there was a way to disable email & avoid being on spammer mail lists
All this does is train people that they have to fight with someone that "knows better than them" every time they need to do anything useful.
The one channel they had to communicate with users and warn them about threats is now gone, I hope they're happy.
Technically, you’re not allowed to “operate” on bands you’re not licensed for, including rx, but enforcement is difficult, of course.

Edit: If your device has any transmit ability, it falls under above. If your device ONLY has rx capability, it does not. Many of the USB SDR dongles DO have the capability to tx, albeit at only ~0.5 watts. This is generally not advertised in the device, but their chip does technically hav an amplifier capable of sending out signals, though usually you would also need an antenna with a shunt. I'm quite certain on this.

Again, in real life, it does not matter.
> Great way to catch those who share/sell your email and to set up filtering.

Couldn’t the seller just remove the prefix from all emails before selling them?
That makes sense, I will convey this to our team as we redesign the website. Thank you for the feedback!
Child's play to install malware on Linux? I disagree. You can't even access RPM unless you are logged in. And you need root access as well. And once you have that, why bother with RPM at all?
I hope this one's a slippery slope and they do extend it to cover all devices or something.
