Thsi time last year he owned a lot of options -- the ability to buy thousands of shares at a low price (like $5 each, when the shares were selling at $200). Typically you can sell those options and take the cash, but you can simply pay for the shares instead.

Each month he'd post an update which said he bought the shares instead.

Obviously he could have faked the screenshots, but he also swore to congress when the price was c. $40 (after the initial $400 spike) that he would still buy Gamestop at $40. A few days later he posted another screenshot showing not only did he exercise his final options, but he bought even more at around $40.

Now he could have sold most of his shares at any point in the last 9 months, which mostly bounced between $150 and $250, or he could have kept them just like the Gamestop board did (indeed I believe some of the board actually bought more shares at those overinflated (imo) prices. Nobody knows.

I believe one way of making money without selling is to sell options -- you tell someone "I will guarantee to sell 100 shares for $150 a share on May 1st" for example. They will pay you $3 a share for that guarantee, and when the price on May 1st is $140 you just laugh. If the price is $160, you have to sell your shares for less than market price (but still more than you paid), and eat the loss.

Last week I decided I wanted to _relearn_ logic, and actually found this as well. I studied some Philosophical and Mathematical logic back in school, and kind of miss it.

I also found https://openlogicproject.org/ which is a nearly 1000 page book, so I plan on going through some of that as well. Might be of interest to you.
Market makers are allowed to be temporarily naked short because it's required for them to do the job they're supposed to do - provide liquidity. A market maker can sell short if they don't have any stock because they will almost certainly be buying it soon after. There's no evidence that any market makers are abusing this privilege with GameStop.
From other [dupe] thread:

I think the answer is still related to censorship. Streamers with lots of history also got throttled.

So, ask yourself, why would YouTube need to throttle in the first place? Who is giving all these protest-streamers their first 300 viewers, making them rise in the live-streaming rankings and exposing millions to anti-mandate protests?

I think YouTube is under attack. I think they learned from live-streams during George Floyd protests, which, incidentally, I also was exposed to, even though not caring too much about that. I think throttling is an attempt to avoid the artificial boosting of divisive and polarizing content.

I really do not want to turn this into a conspiracy theory, though Mark Zuckerberg did offer for Facebook to make some changes, with the rest blacked out under "secret weapon" technology. After experiments done on Facebook on emotional contagion, surely, they must have ways to, instead of rile up an entire populace, calm them down. We are at an age where a single out-of-context video of alleged police brutality can shut down the economy.

Edit: copyright - and ad fraud make little sense to me, since the videos could still be viewed when subscribing to the channel or logging out. If detected as fraudulent, the stream should go offline without warning.
Are there more compelling use-cases than creating public-good kind of whitelists? What incentives encourage sharing of websites? I can list some undesirable incentives: marketing, "shilling" products, MLM promotions. Don't get me wrong, i'm not a cynic, rather, i'm trying to play the part of devil's advocate here. Overall, i'm excited about the idea as I'm quite certain that altruism will prevail and the community will develop well curated website recommendations that make navigating the web a better experience.
You say 'improved' but I feel it doesn't always go the 'more readable' way. I'm very much not a fan of the 'dot notation' and still like to use named parameters, and force explicit types instead of the creeping auto trend. I read much more code than I write and I'm feeling... not heard on the recent changes to ease code writing. At least I can write libadalang scripts (or langserv one day 'to right-click add back what I need in for-of loops, or dot-notation.
> You've heard of the Unix philosophy? Small programs that do one thing well. Composeability, so you can combine programs to make new functionality.

That makes sense in terms of CLI utilities where text/files is the standard input/output, or APIs where json/xml/format-of-today is the standard input/output, but how would you do this with GUI tools? I'd love it if there was a solution, but I'm not aware of one.

Many suites of software use a standard format for things (like .obj/.fbx for graphic object/animation, or .wav for music production), but there is usually not a pipeline as in "pipe this output from this software into that input to that software" like we do with CLI utilities, and if there is, that pipeline is not standarized nor open for extension. Will it ever be possible? I hope so, but I don't see how it can be right now.
Perhaps it would be useful to think about plagiarism in quantitive terms, rather than yes/no. There are hundreds, if not thousands of papers published in obscure journals that are word-for-word copies of other peoples' work. And even more papers where entire figures and paragraphs were lifted without attribution (or modification). I suppose one might argue that this is not a problem, because the journals are typically obscure (more reputable journals now run software to look for duplication), but I think that taking someone else's published work and calling it your own damages science. As does re-publishing the same results multiple times under slightly different titles (it's more difficult to refute a finding if it has been "replicated").

There is no doubt that "plagiarism" can be ambiguous ("self-plagiarism??") and copying with modification can be justified, but there are much more blatant examples that I think clearly cause harm.
It’s not a serious question to ask if there was an ‘epidemic’. That is clearly a straw man.

It's amazing to see how rapidly Firefox users fell out of favor with Mozilla for some reason. Their bugtrackers went from joyful to friendly to silent to openly hostile as they tore out every feature that distinguished them from Chrome.

Branding must be really important if people are expected to enjoy using a completely different product because they enjoyed the old product. MS Office doesn't expect me to do that; they give me essentially the same thing in 2022 as they gave me in 1997. They don't expect me to be loyal out of some sense of love or obligation.

I'm not sure. This is a problem that affects not just websites, but physical products as well. It's really hard to find what you actually want. Producers are rewarded more for paying for reviews and search results, for reddit astroturfing, for influencer recommendations; than they are for actually making something worthwhile.

It's not that good things aren't being made, it's just that it's incredibly hard to find them among all crap. There doesn't seem to be a good mechanism that lets the actually good products float to the top.

Don't let the haters on HN get you down. (Although, hey, you're getting more traction here than I did. Go you!)

But either way, the geeks are not the audience who are going to make or break these projects. I swear half the non-technical people I talk to are very ready for something new. People on HN would be amazed at the hoops that "normies" are jumping through in order to avoid Facebook.

PS - Henri and others (including myself) are working on a spec that would allow these apps to interoperate with each other, letting users on different apps communicate with each other just like with email or Matrix chat. It would be great to have you as part of that effort.
I don't think the current stock price tells you that. You can make an argument that GME was undervalued relative to it's core performance metrics before this whole saga (revenue, eps, etc) but you don't strengthen that by pointing to the current share price, because based on those exact same metrics GME is currently way over valued, which indicates it current share price isn't based on fundamentals now.

Singaporean here. Not if we take the recent performance of our COVID task force into account — it's run by a bunch of bumbling ministerial clowns (one who might potentially become the next prime minister) that can't seem to agree which direction to take Singapore, end up toeing the middle line between endemic and COVID zero, and wrecking everything including the mental health of most Singaporeans staying in their small public flats.

Lee Hsien Loong's main involvement during the pandemic/endemic (Singapore still can't decide how to treat COVID) seemed to be encouraging people, especially the elderly, to get vaccinated.

It's fascinating to see Google and Facebook employees defending the undefensible here almost daily, using all the upbeat expressions they can muster out to obfuscate the fact that they are not accepting no from people when it comes to data collection.

One would hope that there will be an effort to shame these engineers for their role in normalizing mass surveillance, and for their shallow attempts to play down the damage they cause to society.

A year ago I've seen a Google engineer boasting here about his occasional donations to charities, while he works on ads and regularily defends his employer in public, dismissing some of the illegal activities that are taking place at Google.

I'd understand working for your own selfish reasons on something harmful to other people out of necessity, but I doubt most Google and Facebook engineers are only designing and writing the code that intrudes on our personal lives because they just could not find an engineering job at a less scummy company.

The shortcuts are probably the strongest part about Blender, though. You can do edge and box modeling extremely quick with (E)xtrude, (G)rab, (S)cale, and (R)otate commands. And at any point you can press (XYZ) to align to a given axis while you're in the middle of those commands. This lets you keep your mouse in the viewport manipulating geometry instead of hunting for buttons to click.

WiFi triangulation is absolutely useless when determining which lane are you on. Your whole comment has been derived from false assumptions.
"Need" is the key phrase. If it wants to check for updates, do telemetry, fiddle around, whatever, that's fine by me. It should not shit the bed if it has to go a few hours without doing so, however. For example, you recall a couple of years ago when Mozilla screwed up their certificates and every Firefox extension was simultaneously disabled. That should not have happened. That should have resulted in a pop-up box that said "The security of your extensions cannot be verified. Using them at this time could be highly dangerous. Disable them to browse safely? Yes/No" Instead Mozilla just blanket turned them all off, which had the potential for getting people killed as they suddenly found themselves not protected by VPN/Tor/NoScript/etc extensions.

> ...as explained in the article, it could have affected any component. Telemetry happened to hit it first but anything using HTTP/3 with that path would have been affected.

Is this really relevant, though? To the users who were unable to use their browsers normally it doesn't matter that this problem could have occurred elsewhere as well, but rather that it did occur here in particular.

If particular sites would break, then that could be debugged separately, but as it stands even people who'd be perfectly fine with browsing regular HTTP/1.1 or HTTP/2 sites were also now impacted, not even due to opening a site that they wanted to visit themselves, but rather some background piece of functionality.

That's not to say that i think there shouldn't be telemetry in place, just that the poster is correct in saying that this wouldn't be such a high visibility issue if there was no telemetry in place and thus no HTTP/3 apart from sites the user visits.

Because we can all play this game. It's a very silly one, and I'm honestly concerned that the SEC, FCC, and other regulators have the same issue - the people who are suppose to be regulating companies have stocks, and those stocks affect their judgement in much the same way that Pelosi and other prominent politician-traders would never vote against their stock portfolios.

Everyone says that about their field, though.

In the telco industry I've heard several people say "I think it's easier for someone used to circuit switched to learn packet switched than the other way around". Every single time I heard that was from someone who knew circuit switched, and did not have one single clue about how packet switching worked, but thought they did.

If it's your field it's very easy to see people come in and think they've learned it when they haven't.

I've seen it in mathematicians, too. They very often think they can program when they can't.

Or in other words: You can teach a programmer to be a microbiologist to the point where I will believe they're a microbiologist. But I am not one.

And same with programming, except you'll only convince the microbiologist that you succeeded.

> Basically your point is that most content on the internet should go away because you don’t like ads.

No. I'm conpletely fine with ads. This isn't about ads vs.no ads. This is about "bad" ads. The wholeseale trading in people's information. It's a transaction where the price (Being their PII sold somewhere) isn't visible to the buyer.

The reason we ended up where we are now where a site MUST use horrible adtech, is this: Because there exists ways of displaying pinpoint targeted tracking ads through unscrupulous adtech companies then that's what sets the baseline revenue for ads. Show ads that are 1/10th as efficient? You'll get just 1/10th the revenue. It's what a website has to do.

So if I'm a site that wants to show "ethical" ads, I can't. Because the ad market is such that ethical ads don't make money. If, however, bad ads don't exist - then ethical advertising could be able to make more money again. The endgame of all this isn't forcing all sites to either die or become paid services. To me the important outcome is to level the playing field between those that display (or want to display) "better" ads.
I can’t think of any good reason to use GCP. They were a bit late to the party and people don’t switch clouds for no reason.
What I figured is that, the best strategy for a senate hearing is to be as forgetful as an individual as possible. You have no power over the hearing committe as they control the floor. So giving sophisticated justification will always be overshadowed by political rhetoric that they can filibuster over you. Answer questions with generic repeatable answers. Talk about organizational policies which makes everyone go to sleep. Never ask for clarification or questions.

You shouldn't even really attempt reasoning with them. Do everything that makes the hearing boring tv. Dramatizing anything would result in focusing light on your activity. Don't hear the context of the questions tackle keywords with organizational policy response answers.

You can never win. You might think you are the smartest person in the room but smartness won't work when you don't have the right to speak freely and people can form interpretations of whatever you are saying.
I can answer this: because people do not want to pay for a developer, they want to pay for a designer. (It is exceedingly rare to find both in a single person.)

The designer can, within the structure and strictures of Wordpress, build a site with all the whizzy things the client wants, and they can charge $X for it. A developer can do all of that as well, but they will probably need a designer as well (see above parenthetical), and it will cost $X * 2.

The counter to that is, "well, just build a good templating system and tweak that for other clients, and you're good." Which is true, and that's why there are lone PHP developers out there who make a decent living with a stable of clients.

One of the worst aspects of Wordpress is dealing with the infuriating and opaque reasons why a particular site is slow. A relatively simple site can be maddeningly slow for any number of reasons, and finding them is like searching for a contact lens in a full bathtub.
