Here's a quote from NASA regarding Blue Origin:

> But it is not an overstatement to say that all of the successes upon which the Option A procurement is built, all of this once-in-a-generation momentum, can easily be undone by one party—in this case, Blue Origin—who seeks to prioritize its own fortunes over that of NASA, the United States, and every person alive today who dreams to see humans exploring worlds beyond our own. Plainly stated, a protest sustain in the instant dispute runs the high risk of creating not just delays for the Artemis program, but that it will never actually achieve its goal of returning the United States to the Moon. What begins as a mere procurement delay all too easily turns into a lack of political support, a budget siphoned off for other efforts, and ultimately, a shelved mission. GAO should, of course, sustain one or more of Blue Origin’s grounds of protest if they find them to be availing. But NASA merely wishes to impress upon this office just how high the stakes are in the present dispute.

> Why don't everyone buy into index funds then (genuine question) ?

They should, unless they have an “edge” over others, such as inside information or analysis that others did not do or did incorrectly, such as checking satellite photos of parking lots (in days prior to delivery).

If you do not have an edge, then you are simply gambling. But I would say craps is more fun. Low cost index funds like VOO are just true inflation protected securities over 5+ year timeframe, in my opinion, because you know the US federal government is going to pull out all the stops to prevent its biggest organizations from collapsing.

Yes, bittorrent is a much better example of a scalable decentralized system. The problem with bittorrent is that no one has come up with a good way to monetize it. What makes bitcoin exceptional among decentralized systems is not its scalability, but rather its ability to make people rich.

> making it easy/free for small companies to use Amplitude, even though their sole business model was to aim at big corporate accounts. For a few small companies that would turn into big corporate accounts or that were acquired by big corporations that would then adopt Amplitude and become big corporate accounts

I'm glad you shared that, because I've been all but completely against free trials lately. The advice is model dependent, but you've definitely made me think twice about considering free/low-cost options when I would've otherwise completely discounted the ideas due to the usual headaches(spam, abuse, etc).

Did the early days of the internet have as much scams and money-laundering in the mix? Not in my neck of the early days of the internet woods.
The market is very much an engine for social progress. See eg https://www.econlib.org/jim-crow-more-racist-than-the-railro...

> Jim Crow laws established apartheid, that is, legally enforced segregation. Railroad companies provide an interesting historical example of business incentives. These private companies were often willing, against the political correctness of the times, to sell tickets to both blacks and whites and to not segregate their customers in different cars or compartments. Poor whites and poor blacks purchased second-class tickets, while rich whites and occasionally rich blacks rode in first-class cars. The situation was far from perfect, and violence sometimes erupted, but it was better than the segregationist state-enforced laws that followed.

> A historian of populism observes:

>> More than any other institution, train cars and railroad stations exemplified the modern dilemma of the racial order. They were places where mobile, unsupervised, anonymous travelers met in close quarters. Making the situation more explosive, those whites, including most farmers, who could not afford a first-class ticket met blacks on equal terms. In contrast to the workplace where blacks served white employers, or in the supply store where blacks owed debts to white merchants, in a railroad car blacks and whites paid the same fare for the same right to a seat. Accordingly, whites made the railroads a primary target of the new segregation laws. Reform-minded southerners considered these laws a mark of modern and progressive race relations.

Winterlight Labs | Toronto, Canada | Full-Time, Remote-OK | https://winterlightlabs.com/

We analyse the acoustics and content of speech and language to help identify disease and quantify its severity.

We work with life science companies, academia, and senior care companies to improve clinical trials, quality of care, and health outcomes. We're serious about doing this well; we've published a lot of research on how to use speech biomarkers to identify disease[0].

Our software development team is ~8 people and likely to grow substantially in 2022. We primarily work remotely, but everyone is within travel distance of our Toronto office. We plan to offer hybrid in-person + remote for the foreseeable future. We mostly work in Python (Flask+SQLAlchemy), Node, ES6, TypeScript, React + React Native.

We're hiring for a few software development roles now (backend, frontend, full-stack, devops) [1].

In the last couple of months, developers on our team have:

- Designed and implemented new speech features in multiple non-English languages

- Supported our ML and clinical researchers in publishing high-impact research

- Built tools that our clinical operations team uses to support many large, later-stage clinical trials

- Improved the feature pipeline that versions and recomputes hundreds of speech features from all of our data whenever we make a meaningful change

- Built an API (closed beta right now) to power apps that detect and monitor neurodegenerative or psychiatric disease symptoms[2].

Email me (debo@winterlightlabs.com [3]) if you'd like to chat further, even if you're just curious about what we do. We like meeting new people! You can also get us at careers@winterlightlabs.com.

Unfortunately instead of focusing on the toxic culture, it opens with

“””
But if this company’s culture and work environment are a template for the future Jeff Bezos envisions, we are headed in a direction that reflects the worst of the world we live in now … is mostly male and overwhelmingly white”.

So instead of focusing on toxic behavior and culture she focuses on identity politics bait, and creates an ironically race-prejudiced and sexist article as a result.

Blue Origins has major issues, but they are not, at their core because of gender and skin color. I truly hope we get past the reactionary racism and sexism of the woke movement.

All those things absolutely do still happen, just not in the US.
Okay, since you're so hung up on this shorting as a reason to call the market a "scam".

I hear some hedge funds owed stock, and held "synthetic" stock, in the form of options, but did not hold the stock itself. Maybe some funds didn't even hold those! Let's assume all of this is truer than true and put it beyond dispute.

It sounds a little dodgy, possibly a violation of contracts, possibly illegal. It also sounds like they lost a fair amount of money acquiring stock to cover their obligations, and it sounds like some retail investors were able to make money from the processes related to their need for this stock.

So let's put this in perspective.

If all of this is such a scam, tell me: who are the victims of this "scam?" Who precisely thought they owned stock, and found out that they did not in fact own stock, and lost some or all of their money? Does this person or legal entity actually exist? Where can we read a story of their woes as their stock evaporated?

And if this is such a scam, how common is all this? We are discussing a very broad claim: "The stock market is a scam.... Don't fall for it." What saliency does the Gamestop story have to this claim? Tell me, sir: if I am an average investor, and I am investing $10,000 in the market, in the statistically average way that people invest, how many of these dollars will I expect to lose to a scam such as this one? On average?

I hold that the answer is probably somewhere between $0.00 and $0.00. Oh, there are some very real scams and fraud out there on the market, but they tend to be more like Enron, or some firm like Theranos (except public) — not "failure to deliver shares" risk. And they're still a tiny risk to any index fund owner.
>Unless you're claiming that ISP's have been selling physical access but giving away usage for free?

I don't think zakki is too far off from the truth. Looking at Spectrum's Residential Internet Services Agreement, physical access might be what it boils down to. It's a little shocking they can have terms that make no guarantee to any amount of bandwidth at all, even on "their network". I suspect other large ISPs in the US use the same terminology.

>Subscriber understands and agrees that Spectrum does not guarantee that any particular amount of bandwidth on the Spectrum network or that any speed or throughput of Subscriber's connection to the Spectrum network will be available to Subscriber.

But I think you're correct. Having a physical connection does you no good if it isn't passing packets.

Optical devices are physically large with waveguides about 1um and and most devices are a few hundred microns in size. The Mach Zehnders that they discuss are 100’s of microns in physical size. So it’s typical that silicon photonics are fabricated in older nodes in part because the resolution of advanced nodes is not needed and it’s a lot cheaper to use the older nodes. Additionally the sweet spot for silicon photonics is a wavelength ~ 1.3um (1.5um) so the node resolution is sufficient for the wavelength used.

No, of course a mistaken payment isn't a gift, and there's an appropriate mechanism for retrieving mistaken payments through the civil courts (if necessary).

But a mistaken payment is also not income and threatening willfully to mis-file a 1099 is completely inappropriate.

If they want to get the mistaken payments back, they can ask nicely, they can send threatening letters, they can sue in court; but they can't use the IRS as their cat's paw because the only tax situation that fits the facts here is gift.
Thank you for your perspective. Do you think that the LGBTQIA+ community is best served in this method? For instance, art communities would have been a stand in for many before, and from my exposure it seems to have had very good effects for marginalized people who aren't mainstream due to interests, sexual orientation, or creativity and ideas that are normally dismissed. They seem to be the least polarized people I know of.

I have a question for my friend: he is bisexual so he has problems where he is invalidated by both hetero and non hetero communities, and feels very isolated and depressed, and I don't know enough to help, where do you suggest is the best place for him to get support or any resources for bisexual men?

My experience with tumblr was a very mixed bag for the non heterosexual communities such as the mixture of mental health as a focal point where some I knew got better and some got worst and self diagnosed themselves into deeper unhappiness.
While "call them back" is good practice, you should remember that even outgoing telephone calls aren't authenticated or encrypted. An advanced enough attacker can totally redirect your outbound calls too - it's just a little harder without an insider in your phone network.
Relatively smaller problems are still problems. Rather than diminishing the significance of certain perspectives by calling them "not real", we should be acknowledging issues like this at all strata.
> taking advantage of smaller players who think the game is fair, until a profit appears.

I'm still not sure in what form this "taking advantage" happens. I think the stock market provides unique opportunities in how one can start small and grow with additional capital, knowledge or time when it becomes available.

> Why don't everyone buy into index funds then (genuine question) ?

For a variety of reasons: some find it boring, some think they can beat the index, some get stock grants and stick to what's familiar, some buy stocks that they hear about (because their friends do), etc. Even those who (mostly) buy into index funds may invest a chunk of their portfolio into riskier assets.
