Ruby on Rails | React | HTML5 Canvas (for the poker table) | Postgres | AWS (Lambda, Kinesis, Athena, SQS, etc.)

Clubs Poker makes it dead simple to play poker with your friends for fun. We’re going to make poker look more like a social game (think Fortnite) and less like a casino. Sound interesting?

We're currently hosting around 1,000 poker games/month and avg growth is 100% month over month. We recently closed a round of funding led by Village Global, along with other angel investors and professional poker players.

To apply, email me at taylor [at] clubspoker.com, mentioning HN & a description of why you think you'd be a good fit. You should have significant full-stack experience under your belt already.

Of course it's about humans. It's always about humans. It happens to be advantageous for us to maintain healthy ecosystems and biomes, but without humans, those things have no meaning.

If a dog or a dangerous wild animal attacks an innocent human child, the point-of-view of the dog or wild animal is never considered, even if it acted in self-defense; it is automatically at fault, and destroyed or relocated to prevent further injury. This is the same approach that we as a species treat everything, for good reason. We've come to recognize that we need the rest of nature and now try in some way to preserve it (not enough in my opinion), but don't forget that we do so for selfish reasons.

Yes, that is correct, but that is only an average, of course. There are many ways to break things down. When you look at industries, we find that in 2016, for example, beverage manufacturing has a .8% profit margin, grocery stores have 2.5%, auto dealers are 3.2%. Beer wine and liquor store industry is 3.4%. On the other hand, we have high profit industries: accounting, tax prep, bookkeeping is 18.3%, legal is 17.4%, leasing real estate is 17.4%. And again, that's average. You can have one CPA charging $50/hour, and another charging $500 per hour. Costs are pretty much the same, if they both are sole proprietors, but the one charging $500/hour is probably 500% plus profit margin, or whatever it is.
The bus between the CPU and the TPM is exposed, so there are plenty of physical attacks that you can do, assuming a certain level of skill and tools.
Was he harming innocent people? Was he injecting too much noise/unnecessary work into the system?

I don't see how him doing it as more of a freelance thing rather than an undercover position guarantees a different outcome. It seems like we have to look at the actual outcome and we can't paint with such broad strokes about how one model or the other is better.
The clojure reader supports the #= prefix before a form, which will cause the reader to read the following form, pass it to eval, and use the result as if it were part of the passed in data.

(def #=(symbol "foo") :bar)

Gets read as

(def foo :bar)
How does one fight against things that aren't happening? "Hell no, boss; I won't do that thing that you're not even asking me to do! No; I don't have any idea what I'm yelling about either!"
Or you could look at it as "relaxed ordering is a performance optimization" and shouldn't be taken prematurely.

In Java, there is no default; you ask for a HashMap or a LinkedHashMap explicitly. In dynamic languages like Python or JS I prefer default insertion ordered maps because if I wanted tightly optimized code, I wouldn't use those languages in the first place.
the problem is how to be complaint with local law if you are a EU citizen and open a US company. You need to be careful to avoid be incriminated for tax evation
It’s interesting that they could be earning fees off their own underwriting. That would probably be an industry first.

The article mentions Apple likely did behind the scenes lobbying, but is there any proof of this?
Pardon me if that sounds rude, but it is unfathomable to me why anyone would attempt to watch scientific/or medical discussion on YouTube (or any social media, for that matter).

My alarm bells start ringing if I read a paper and the authors are overly committed to pointing out the prestige of the institutions or seem to optimize for citations. What possible use could you get out of the discussion of "science" on a platform where flashiness of the thumbnail, shortness of message and flamebait are directly related to your income?
NSA: Russian GRU Global Brute Force Campaign [pdf]
I've always felt like a big part of Blender was having an interface that's awesome for power-users, but that's unusable without training. Then have a foundation that offers said training (some free, some paid), and from that money pay development, outreach and showcases (Blender Open Movies).

It's a somewhat unique (and likely unintentional) model that worked because the competition was very expensive, but it has also prevents Blender from being more than a niche product.
We already know the outcome of Tokamak fusion research: certainly nothing for, at minimum, decades. Even if it could be made to work, it would take decades more to build out reactors, at conservatively a $100-billion apiece. We certainly won't be building dozens of $100-billion reactors until after the first one works long enough to prove itself.

All this time, solar, wind and storage costs will continue on down. Fusion will certainly never be cheaper than fission, which today costs more just to operate than building out new solar. So power from fusion reactors would always be the most expensive alternative. There can never be an economically rational choice to build a terrestrial Tokamak fusion plant.

Meanwhile, we already know the far and away cheapest sources of electric power ever: solar and wind. They start producing immediately. The $100 billion for the first fusion plant, someday, would buy a great deal of solar and wind today, and more all the time, displacing carbon sources immediately. Thus, every cent diverted from those to fusion brings the disaster ever closer.

"For the three months ended March 31, 2021, 17% of our total revenue was derived from transaction-based revenues earned from cryptocurrency transactions, compared to 4% for the three months year ended December 31, 2020."

That's some pretty crazy growth! Granted, that was a unique time in crypto. But I'm sure history will repeat. Will be interesting to see how RH's crypto strategy develops based on this. Crypto essentially brings the payment for order flow in-house and makes RH the market maker for doge, BTC, etc. So maybe RH will just start to look more like Coinbase!

I was hesitant to use the car example exactly because of this argument. My point was if you wanted a new car you paid 3-4k. Now a similar new car would be 30-40k. Oh sure it is all around a better car. You can however see the same approximate scale in many goods. Such as food and big ticket items (like refrigerators, lawn mowers, etc). What made cars much better is better manufacturing allowed by the use of computers (both in the manufacture and in the car). Adding a few dozen controller nodes does not add nearly 30k to the value of a car. Most of that is inflation. Before the inflation hit in the 70s my parents bought a home for about 14k. Last time I looked if they wanted to sell it was around 120-140k. I have not looked but I would take a guess that a 'used car' price would scale depending on model and usage with current used car prices and age of the car.

Conspicuous consumption of goods is a interesting argument and probably worth talking about. But my point was scale and inflation.

While I have not done substantive research myself, I have heard a number of personal complaints from (current and former) Mozilla people that very little of their funding actually goes to working on the core projects (like Firefox or Servo). They seem to have the same problem as Wikimedia where as they got more money, they spent an increasingly large fraction of it on bullshit outside the scope of their original purpose, hiring non-technical people (who are basically impossible to get rid of later on), etc. It’s much easier to downsize R&D than to downsize HR.

At some point we can hope that hosting is cheap enough we can all host our own videos, that search engines will find our content (without any favouritism) and that such an outcome will actually be legal.
To me, this doesn't seem like a tricky moral question at all.

Investors are always supposed to be paid out last in bankruptcy proceedings, after whoever a company owes debt to. That's the "risk" part of being an investor. It's part of law. Everyone knows this up front, and the likelihood of it is built into stock prices.

There's zero analogy to leasing an apartment, where a tenant isn't expected to take on risk of the building collapsing -- that's handled by government-mandated inspections, insurance, etc etc.

And one would reasonably expect penalties and fines to be treated similarly to debt. How are they not a debt to the government? They should get paid off, and investors are left with whatever remains, if anything remains.

It can be trickier to apportion losses between people owed debt, or between investors owed in Madoff's case. But paying off debt should always come before paying off investors, full stop.

However, I'm genuinely confused as to why, in this case, SEC fines didn't get precedence in bankruptcy. Why on earth did lawmakers decide something else?

Is there evidence of bot accounts specifically? Or is it unclear if its bots (network of accounts managed by one or few people) or a crowd of tribalist low-information angry people? Often hard to tell them apart, and a successful former often breeds the later, so I think it can be challenging to determine conclusively.

"Bot" has also increasingly (and incorrectly IMO) been used as a pejorative for belligerent human trolls, which further obfuscates this discussion.

Would love to see a source about chapo bots - google isn't turning up anything for me. I find these sorts of social media propaganda operations fascinating.
Your missing why I'm making my comment. I'm not arguing for anything. I'm arguing against making any conclusions based on what the original poster said, because the only factual evidence they present is at the very least questionable. I'm not making a positive assertion that government inertia is not a problem, simply that the above post does not provide sufficient evidence that it is a problem.

It’s not impossible, but I think it’s about 128 minute-views per GB and $0.01/GB? Which would make hosting e.g. Issac Arthur’s YouTube channel cost in the order of $200-$300 per video uploaded, which I would hope is small for him given how many volunteers he gets and the sponsor messages, but might discourage future versions of him from getting started.

Scott Manley’s channel looks like typically more views and shorter videos, so would probably be similar hosting costs. Would he still be able to do his thing without YouTube? Or Robert Miles (the AI researcher, not the famous one I’ve never heard of before updating this comment because I’m not into music)?
The residents of the cities and states continue to use fossil fuels to power their homes and automobiles, but it would be bad politics to directly attack them. Instead, attack the fossil fuel companies who supplied the residents.
Minor correction, it wasn't a DM, it was a public tweet that had him tagged. Then his wife (or him pretending to be his wife) responded to the tweet from Eichenwald's account, that he just had a seizure and that she had called the police.
> One reason being that then you have a strong financial incentive to "whistleblow" on things that are less clear-cut, making it likely that (a) you'll eventually harm innocent people in the process, and (b) you'll inject too much noise/unnecessary work into the system.

It's not like a whistle blowing claim just results in enforcement action without investigation. The claim gets investigated by the relevant agency first, and then if and only if it is found to be justified is an enforcement action taken. That enforcement action can then be challenged in the courts, too, if the entity in question perceives the agency to be in the wrong.

I don't think there's much risk of whistle blowers significantly harming innocent companies here.
Thanks for sharing details about the architecture and infrastructure behind this. That's pretty neat.
~70% was transactions and ~20% was interest. For comparison about 60% of Etrade's revenue is interest and 30% is fees + commissions.

Either Robinhood has found a smarter business model re: selling order flow or they are making a killing on crypto fees. The commission business model is dead for good I think.

$81B in assets under management vs. Fidelity with $10T? At some point, your revenue is capped at a fraction of a percent of assets under management.
Can you elaborate on why you think robin hood is better than etrade?
I am 100% sure most companies can and do have those exact same risk factors, they don't really mean that much.

Any company that operates in a highly regulated area (finance/health/gambling/etc) are going to have regulatory on their risk factors.

Any Company whose business is run on an app or a website is going to have the tech failure one.

I'm not a fan of C++. I'm a fan of Erlang and the OTP. The entire reason I became interested in Erlang was fault tolerance. I have no idea why I'm getting downvoted, exactly what I have said was said later, above, and is more highly upvoted.

The people here are not really painting a good picture of BEAM vm languages. The typical complaint is some extremely energetic new hire wants to use Erlang for something, does, and then it turns into a hard to maintain mess. You can equivocate about the specific reasons but if you are really going to say ignoring legacy compatibility is stupid then I'm not sure what to tell you.
Because otherwise people would just put a 1-frame endcard in their video with whatever they want to have as a thumbnail?

And if the thumbnail is picked randomly, you are just rewarding videos that show dramatic content with text overlay at all times. And the best-researched Tom Scott video might get randomly punished because the thumbnail is a brown-grey blur in the middle of a transition.

The existence of the medium "thumbnail" is not more of a problem than the existence of book cover. Breeding a healthy culture of what should be on it is the problem we should focus on, both by audience behavior and suggestion algorithm.
And just like Internet Explorer, you need a specific operating system to even test against Safari. Just that it's even worse, considering the relative market shares of Windows vs Mac (outside of Silicon Valley startups)
Because once FB/Twitter/every other large forum limits themselves to only doupleplusgoodposters, there will be a few billion people looking for somewhere else that they can speak, and other services will arise.

I read until:
"Does it seem odd to you that the same people who stated there was no evidence of election fraud are now championing the cause of statutory improvements to our election system? "

That's just typical conspiracy theory bullshit language...

No Sherlock, the people just did an in depth analysis of the election system, they would be highly qualified to champion improvements to systemic problems with the system.

Just because there are systemic issues does not mean that there was election fraud. In fact I know one systemic problem with the election system in many states, the disproportionate hurdles towards black, young and poor voters. Funnily I highly doubt the writer would call this election fraud.
The scammers just move on to a new Steve. It's whack a mole.
