Stock Unlock is a web app providing investment education and analysis tools, which is built by a group of stock nerds with an interesting company origin story. We are on a mission to show everyone that investing isn't meant to be hard, the tooling today is just inaccessible/hard to use. By focusing on education and building tools which save our communities time, Stock Unlock is looking to be the online place for everyone to learn to invest/manage their own capital.

This is actually good. The mask is coming down from western institutions. Exchanges busting entire days of trading. Central banks seizing the assets of other central banks. Governments seizing the assets of individuals without due process. This is great. The international law order is falling apart. The western world is showing its true face. Bring it on. We can’t wait to see what’s under the vest. Take off everything. Reveal the beast in all its glory. We are not afraid. The day of reckoning is coming.

> That’s not a pun that’s just poor grammar.

There is no such thing as "poor grammar" --- it's a myth. Most of the grammatical "rules" we tend to be taught in primary and secondary school English courses were invented relatively recently, and they were created specifically for the purpose of establishing an arbitrary class distinction.

Now, there's something to be said about markedness [1]. If the majority of a specific group of speakers of a language find a particular utterance (phrase, sentence, pronunciation, etc) to stand out in a way that feels unnatural, then that utterance is called "marked". Clearly, "can't never" is marked in your perspective. (And, indeed, I also find it to be marked in my own dialect.)

However...

There do exist large groups of native English speakers for whom this utterance is not marked. In these groups, this is a regular way to emphasize a negative. So, in those groups, the utterance is unmarked.

So it is wrong to say that your notion of markedness is universal. Undoubtedly, there are utterances you would produce that members of other groups of native English speakers would find marked. (A simple example offhand: American English speakers find the British constructions of "go to hospital" or "to be on holiday" to be marked. Does that make these utterances ungrammatical universally? Absolutely not.)

Context is important. If you are writing, say, an academic paper that you want to publish at a particular venue, then you are expected to adhere to the grammatical conventions of that venue. But for general everyday speech? The rule is straightforward: if you understand the intent, then it is not incorrect. It might be marked for you, but that does not make it "wrong" or "bad" or "poor" universally.

There’s a reason PB&J is mostly a kid’s food in the US. As an adult, it can indeed be too sweet. I had some awesome homemade jam for a while that was way more tart that sweet and I was able to use that to make some pretty good ones. I wish I could find similar stuff in grocery stores.

I don’t think a culture that has things such as the cheese and pickle sandwich should really judge though. Or even a regular cheese sandwich. You’re so close! Just grill it.
Thick bindings aren't refactored code, they're a different interface. "Thin binding" means a shallow interface, possibly even autogenerated from C header files. "Thick binding" is usually abstracted, creating proper Ada data types (including the normal restrictions on them), different functions and procedures (perhaps bundling common sets of activities that would be a series of calls in the base C library), adding Ada tasks if its sensible to the system (which it may be, like wrapping around a network library, you can have the network connection handled in its own task).
I did a similar thing with the air gradient diy kit. That these are pi based run full Linux and allow changes over time is is really compelling.

I've also experienced this. I wonder if this phenomenon leads to an overwhelming selection bias in what questions actually get to stackoverflow or irc or slack or whatever. It could be that the majority of people are good at asking good questions, but they usually don't get through formulating their good question before answering it themselves, so the majority of questions end up being bad.
> What Cloudflare does with WhatsApp is to prove to facebook the user hasn't modified the code locally.

I don't follow. How does this system:

A) force users not to ignore the hash mismatch?

B) guarantee to Facebook that they haven't ignored the hash mismatch?

C) even communicate to Facebook anything about the hash mismatch? This is a clientside comparison, I don't see anything about reporting to Facebook that hashes mismatch.

My local Linux installation compares hashes for downloaded packages, I don't see how I as a user having more insight into whether or not the packages is corrupted/altered means I'm disempowered.

Modern hdmi (I'd recommend dp versions instead of hdmi) kvm switches aren't very expensive. I'm using a 4 machine hdmi/keyboard/mouse/usb switch that was <$300. They make dual monitor ones too. Tho I just use a cheap hdmi switch for my secondary monitor because it doesn't emulate a connection to the PC while a different input is selected.

This allows me to extend my active desktop to two monitors, or show a different machine on the secondary monitor. I also use barrier for this two host configuration.

>Did TiVo actually affect ad revenue? My understanding is that the revenue figures were calculated based on Nielson family scores, and TiVo ad skipping wouldn't show up in there.

Given that TiVo has been running "pre-roll" (i.e., when you start playing a recording) ads for a couple years now (they are skippable), they're certainly trying to get a piece of that sweet, sweet ad revenue for themselves.

I have no idea whether that cuts into the existing pie or is additional ad spend.

That said, TiVo isn't as intrusive (in that you can skip their "pre-roll" ads) as YouTube, Amazon Prime, etc.

Really, the best thing about TiVo is their video Fast-forward/rewind. It actually scrolls the content as it does so. No other platform seems to support that, which really kills UX for me.

As for ad skipping, that's only supported for some shows, and even those don't generally allow it until at least a few hours after air time.

Of course, you can still fast-forward through the ads (made much easier by the TiVo video scrolling) which works quite nicely.

There’s close to zero chance you can sell investors non-voting shares as an early-stage startup. There is non-voting equity that can convert into shares, but they will certainly dilute you even if they don’t convert and those shares will almost always have voting rights.

If you’re anywhere close to taking your company public, you should have attorneys that can help you with preparing for that and point you to whatever information you’re looking for.

At the time of investment, good VCs typically don’t care about any one investment enough to put much effort into fleecing you. My experience is that good startups aren’t at any significant disadvantage in terms of attorneys. Just make sure to get a good one that has done a lot of financings.

I really wish you could specify the search language or internationalisation.

Sometimes I search in English, French, Italian, Czech or Ukrainian, I also split time between Canada, France and Czech Republic, can read all these languages well enough to want contextual results for each, but inevitably I still get results focused only on my actual location which is slightly infuriating...
Aw man, Google UK's search "tools" feature doesn't understand UK nor ISO date formats. Such a strange choice to make.
These users will still want Google to return results in their native language.

There are several layers available to Google though -

- They could use the system language setting

- They could use the browser's language setting

- They could use the user's Google account setting if the user is logged in

Corporations could set the system language, or the browser language, and it could still be overridden by the user in their Google account if they wanted to do that. Instead though, Google chooses to geolocate the user's IP address and use that which works for no one.
Your self-reflection is commendable. After self-awareness indicates opportunities for tone improvement in conversation, finding the balance between effective and "socially acceptable" is a persistent challenge.

I don't really understand what you're describing here: which part of the following do you disagree with?

TLS permits client (initiator of the session) and server (target of the session) to have certificates. The purpose of the client certificate is that the server may authenticate the client. The purpose of the server certificate is that the client may authenticate the server. Hence: mutual authentication.

If the server is replaced by a malicious implementation that has the private key associated with a genuine certificate, the client will validate the server as authentic. This happens first in the TLS handshake.

The malicious server will then happily receive the client certificate and accept it without any chain validation, because it doesn't really care whether the client is authentic or not.

To repeat the point: the use of client certificates does not and cannot protect the client.
My biggest solution: pay more

I would love a developer advocate role. Been searching for a good one for a while now. But almost every position I see pays just slightly above junior engineer range, as if developer advocates are just washed up engineers who couldn't quite make it.
Well, if thats how you pay, thats what you will get.

If anyone is willing to pay for my years of focus and experience on "developer experience", and make your product all the better by having a dev advocate who actually has been there, let me know.
That would be a KVM. (not the Virtualisation software, but a dedicated Keyboard, Video, Mouse switcher). Good ones can be as expensive as ~£200.
Indeed, which is why I have turned off the "someone is typing" in the UI.
I've started using https://programmablesearchengine.google.com/about/ which is a programmable, custom search engine that Google provides. I only include sites that I want to. For news, I have a separate search engine; for programming, I include Gitlab, Github, and others. It's quite nice, and you can share your search engines with others via a public URL.

Another example is creating a "social media" only search engine- I have over 50 social media websites in one of my custom searches, it makes it relatively easy to find another person this way.

Gotcha - please see the discussion above. At least to my knowledge, there was never a discussion of a central bank like the Fed. The national bank proposal (and function) was just that - a national bank. It was the bank the government used, and they also acted as a commercial bank in some manner and did a few other things. They didn't do many/any of the things the Fed does.
Individual journalists indeed tried (and still do), however editors and upper management have always tried to steer their staff in the direction which mostly benefits their shareholders or their biggest advertisers. If journalists still persist and write stories exposing the wrong people, those journalists do loose their jobs and their stories do get canned or watered down (e.g. with equal presentation of “the other side”).

Editors aren’t always evil and do this on purpose, however as humans we all have implicit biases. And our biases increase if we feel like we owe somebody a favor (this is why doctors are not allowed to accept gifts from pharmaceutical companies in many countries). If upper management tells a senior editor that company A is their biggest advertiser, and a journalist tells a story unfavorable to company A, then the senior editor might feel like company A doesn’t deserve this treatment and orders a counter story which exonerates the company to be presented on the same page.
My experience with uBlock or in fact any Ad Blocker have been suboptimal. It sometimes uses a lot of CPU resources in places I dot understand and couldn't be bothered to figure out why.

>> Proponents say the law helps ensure Israel's security and maintains its "Jewish character".

> What the fuck?

Israel was founded as a state for the Jewish people, so they could have some political self-determination, which given their history, doesn't seem like a such bad thing. It would entirely subvert that if it became a state controlled by other kinds of people, like all other states in the world.

Let's say Muslim Arabs become the majority in Israel, wouldn't it then become the kind of place that the ancestors of the Jewish Israelis fled from (for good reason)? There are also literally dozens of other Muslim Arab states, so the transmogrification of Israel into another would be a net-negative for diversity.

IMHO the comparisons of Israel to apartheid break down because the motivations are different. IIRC, the South African whites wanted to maintain dominance over a big subject population, the Jewish Israelis just want a state for themselves.
A bit off-topic perhaps but as a non-native speaker I'm always baffled by English smalltalk. People who reach out to me on Teams usually start with "Hi, how are you" and I never know what is the proper reply because I know the question is not sincere. Why not just say "Hi"?

(and this is nothing compared to the seemingly mandatory Monday morning elevator "how was your weekend" question)

> Presumably, if a specific person is a very good driver, entering an automated vehicle that is merely better than average driver, with no controls to interject, results in a net reduction of safety for this individual.

But for far more individuals there will be a net increase in safety, moreover, since traffic accidents don't only imperil drivers, pedestrians and safe drivers will also experience an increase in safety due to average drivers using just-above-average automation.

> What is the safety of a automation-assisted human?

If it's unsustainable, it's their own fault. They chose to send people content for free. They did so hoping they'd look at the noise they call advertising. Well, it's not happening and they need to deal with it. We don't owe them a thing, they need to accept it and move on.

The fact is people don't want to be subjected to ads. Advertisers aren't entitled to people's attention and they're not gonna get it. So either they start charging people for access or they just turn off the servers, either is fine. If they send us ads, we're gonna block them.

How kind of you.
Could you share how many accidents happen, rather than deaths? With a source as well, if you happen to be looking it up.
Without reading the actual article, the answer to the question proposed here is "no". How can I know that without clicking through? Because war is never inevitable. War is a choice, every time. One or more people choose to become aggressors, pushing other people into a position where they feel they must fight or die. That's all a war is: some people threatening others into fighting back, and then this continues until someone gives up or everyone dies.

War is always a choice. You can always choose not to aggress. There is no such thing as an "inevitable war".

> Nato did not invade Libya

This is not true at all. NATO did invade Libya on 31st March 2011. The UNSC resolution enforced a no-fly zone. It did not order a NATO invasion. Please read the resolution again (UNSC 1973). NATO flew 26,500 sorties. NATO invasion ended on 31st October 2011. Article 5 wasn't invoked either (the only time it was invoked was when 9/11 happened). So there was no need for NATO to intervene. But it still did.

Even the no-fly zone was farcical. It was meant to protect civilians. General Carter Ham (Head of US Africa Command) said that he was unable to differentiate between civilians/rebels/Gaddafi forces etc [1]. It was up to the pilot to take a call on whether he wants to bomb or not. This was reported in April of 2011 as well where NATO planes erroneously bombed row of tanks that belong to the rebels [2] clearly violating UNSC resolution of protecting "civilians".

In fact, the Indian and Brazilian representatives made the same point, when the UNSC 1973 was tabled, that the resolution was too vague and poorly drafted. That is why both countries abstained from voting for the intervention in Libya.

What kills me is even paid subscription sites like WSJ, Bloomberg, Seeking Alpha, show you ads even when you're a paying member.

Why is it a war on our attention?
I thought this for a long long time too.

I have come to realize I was wrong.

If we humans always prepare for the worse, then indeed we will always be terrified. There is no way for us (I know for me) to decouple the nightmarish scenarios I ingested and prepared for, from my emotions. I want to be Spock [0], but I am not. I cannot be on the edge 24/7. I did that for decades (for work & life), it kills me and everyone around me. There is no way to enjoy this great world we live in.

So, what do I do? I try to find a "good enough" preparedness for me personally, and my family. Where is that "good enough" for me? It is just a touch more than the average preparedness. I do not have a bomb shelter, but I do have a "breakdown box" in my vehicles; I do not have hidden caches of food, ammo, household needs, but I have a well stacked pantry; and, so on.

> Facebook has never had principles

"Never" doesn't feel right to me.

I remember being in Sixth Form and then an undergrad while Facebook was in their "web-scale" days: there wasn't (yet) anything untoward being reported (besides the "dumb fucks" quote) - so I like to think that Facebook's principles, then, were more "let's see where this goes" - which isn't much of a principle, I agree - but we were all re-projecting Google's and Apple's story onto Facebook: something along the lines of "they'll make billions of dollars from giving people what they want, how can that possibly be a bad thing?".

So I'd summarize Facebook's then-"principles" as believing in their own naïve optimism about the power of connecting people, but we were all naïve with them - so while it's easy to criticize Facebook now, almost a decade after the corruption started, which of us can point to our own Slashdot or Digg.com comments made prior to ~2012 that predicted this?
You're making quite a leap there -- asking OP what country they're from that doesn't have "any" unique offerings and conflating that with the idea that the level of self-pride is up there with America or Japan.

Pride, and self-esteem, live on a spectrum. Having any pride at all is not equivalent to having absurdist levels of it. And from my experience, a lot of people in countries that weren't very successful (usually: poor, corrupt, or colonized) in the 20th century are pretty muted in their pride and/or will readily believe that people from other countries are "better".
The parallels to the Jim Crow South and its borderline hysterical obsession with managing the ethno-racial balance are very strong.
