I spot at least 2 common fallacies here:

1. "Work with nature" - what does that even mean?

2. "Stick with cows which graze on open grass land" - the amount of such cows is a tiny fraction of all cows. How will I know how to get to those cows?

>Was never a leftist, or a political commentator with any coherent ideology at all.

He labels himself a leftist. His views are commonly left of center. He lives in leftyville california. He went to Cornell which doesn't produce republicans. I watched him on politically incorrect, but I only see the odd show here and there since he went to real time on hbo. I would say he's a lefty. I very much doubt there's any air of caricature in his public persona. I do believe he has been legitimate in his beliefs. Better yet makes tons of funny jokes.

If on the subject of political polarization of the left-wing has you saying Bill Maher is right wing. I rest my case.

>Brand I’ve not paid much attention to, but he never struck me as particularly leftist, either.

Like I know Bill Maher is left of center. Brand is left of him.

He even recently made a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h4e8lSQy64c

Lets not forget the bernie bros who are suddenly right wing as well, joe rogan, jimmy dore, kenosha shooter guy.

The point to take away. If you think "the right" are racist war fury and islamaphobic. You should leave your country. There's somewhere else that is better for you. "the right" are your fellow countrymen, they are on your team. Do you know of lots of your country people that you like are moving somewhere? Europe, Japan/Korea? Australia? Germany? Perhaps you should reach out to them. See if it's really better?

For people with a self-perception of not being programmers (in other words, most people) spreadsheets are often the easiest and most flexible way to leverage a computer's ability to automate whatever their novel task is. Without spreadsheets, they'd either need to learn how to code or hire a programmer. Hiring a programmer to solve your special problem is a high bar to clear, and most people will never become programmers for various reasons. If you took spreadsheets away, I think most spreadsheet users would begrudgingly go back to pencils and pocket calculators.

>Stock trades don't settle instantly

More precisely: US Law for the time (and today) is T+2 settlement. Meaning the trade doesn't _actually_ happen until 2 days later.

It is the job of all the middle-men to make it look like it appeared instantly. But the price of GME was changing dramatically, so the middle-men (DTCC) asked Robinhood for more money than Robinhood expected.

Robinhood couldn't afford the higher price, and DTCC didn't want to trade anymore unless more $$$ was offered up to "cover their ass" in case the stock price changes in 2 days.

------

Those middlemen work in most situations. But when the stock is like +500% in a few hours (or whatever happened that day...), they tend to get squeamish. After all, they're the bagholders if any of these trades go bad.

Quickly-changing stock prices makes them more-and-more squeemish.

Code: The Hidden Language of Computer Hardware and Software

Perfect intro for a layman getting into Computer Architecture
'Technically' Google only lists websites in their search engine that a website owner has authorised them to scrape/crawl. Part of Google's TOS is that if you allow them to crawl your website, you're following all legal responsibilities in the countries you serve your website to.

That in theory means that if your details are on a website, you've already given consent for it to be shared with Google.

Does that happen in reality? Most of the time I doubt it. But it pushes the liability onto the website owner.

They've been pretty open actually. They did not have enough cash on hand to support the buy volume. They have said this repeatedly. They have also said if incoming bank transfers from retail investors had settled faster they would have had enough cash. The "instant deposit" feature of letting people buy stocks with cash deposits they had only initiated but had not settled meant they didn't have the cash on hand to support more buying.
Well, Fomenko attacks all methods of dating events for their drawbacks, but the core of his theory is very vulnerable to being self-contradictory. He doesn't trust the narrative sources when it comes to names and such, considering that Genghis Khan and Ceasar and Jesus Christ to be one person (names picked from the top of my head, but such conjunctions are typical to F.) based on similarities in reign lengths, but he somehow trusts that descriptions of astronomical events to be very exact. Like, source claimes that during Fukidides eclipse there were stars visible, but modern calculation shows that at most Venus could be visible. So he discards 1500 years of history because of that plural wording. So ancient scribes took extreme liberties with names of rulers and countries, but somehow preserved the plural form of a noun 100% verbatim.

And he also completely ignores all non-narrative historical documents, like financial receipts, sales invoices, banking books, etc, which are numbered in millions and were certainly not produced by a sinister sect in 18th century which decided to falsify all history.

Average income in 1960 (as an example year since it wasn't listed) $6000 or 10% of that house.

Average income in 2021 $65,000, well short of the $80,000 to equal 10% of the house. Also, there has been a large increase in other expenses. Most households had a single earner, leaving another adult to generally raise children. That's much rarer today. Two car households, higher utility bills, etc... The evidence is pretty clear that money doesn't go as far today.

To be a bit brusque - the law is technical, but it's also written by humans and interpreted by humans, and programmers who spend all day working on computers and broadly trend towards the autistic side always try to come up with clever end-runs around the law that will never actually work in reality. See also: every time securities law or KYC/AML is brought up in crypto threads. Your "clever exploit" of the law is not going to work, and is going to land you in jail.

If you buy a hammer and get mad that it doesn't make pizzas, the merchant isn't going to accept that, nor is a judge in small claims court going to be remotely amused. It's a hammer. Stop wasting my time, plaintiff pays all court fees and time for the defendant. They deal with bullshitters all day and they generally tend to be completely unamused by it.

If you ask the merchant nicely they will probably take it back, most retailers have return policies and most of them will stretch them even further to keep the business of a repeat customer. But merchantability is a thing, and they can't sell you a thing labeled as a hammer that doesn't work in the way an ordinary reasonable person would expect a hammer to work. One person being an unreasonable person doesn't really change that.

If you try and abuse it then the judge is gonna slap you down, but if they try and fuck you around about how a toaster is kind of a hammer in some ways then the judge is gonna slap them down.

You have repeated multiple times that Robinhood essentially ran out of money. But then finally you mentioned why people are leaving... Because they don't trust Robinhood. It doesn't matter why they stopped trading, it simply matters that they did.

The Labor Market Impacts of Universal and Permanent Cash Transfers
i agree, this goes against GDPR.7.4 https://gdpr.eu/article-7-how-to-get-consent-to-collect-pers... see especially the recital https://gdpr.eu/Recital-43-Freely-given-consent/

>> Consent is presumed not to be freely given ... if the performance of a contract, including the provision of a service, is dependent on the consent despite such consent not being necessary for such performance.

Also note GDPR.7.3

>> The data subject shall have the right to withdraw his or her consent at any time. [...] It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent.

If you can't withdraw the consent, it is not consent. So this EULA is at least bad form. (from a european perspective)

For the far more interesting question if it is legal see https://gdpr.eu/article-6-how-to-process-personal-data-legal...

If it is not consent then it falls under GDPR.6.1.f "legitimate interests" which is far worse to discuss, as it puts your fundamental right to not have the usage of a product you bought be surveilled by the manufacturer - against their business interest to get telemetry. It would be far easier for everyone if they would just make it a separate checkbox you can toggle on and off (actual consent).

However note that you do not have to use the product, you can refund it, so arguing this is a massive violation of human rights isn't going to fly. Should you bring this case to your local data protection agency, they will first try to reach an agreement between you and the company that fulfills both sides interests. Note: no matter what the contract says your local agency is there to supports you as a first responder. The company will likely have to show some improvement, at best an actual consent checkbox, at least a change of the bad form.

If you actually go there you should wiretap the device and bring evidences what data the company collects. If it turns out to be a lot more than reasonable (id of the camera, time, gps locations, frames of the content) and the company is not cooperating, then the claws come out and its fining time. However if it turns out to be harmless, pseudonymous and processed to high standards, then the agency will ask you if you can accept that and saying no will turn into a lot of work in front of a court.

I’m disposed to liken it to an anytime algorithm (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anytime_algorithm). You want your projects to be as ‘anytime’ as possible, IMHOBOLHE. I think that’s what your comment is driving at: that there’s a significant benefit to a plan that delivers half the benefits if it only runs for half the (eventual, real; not planned) time, vs a plan that requires a long investment of time but only - hopefully - pays off in full right at the end.
My point is that the contract could be unconscionable

I'm always skeptical to such big-infra projects for a reason: they are not flexible. We design something today that will be ready after more than a decade on scale hoping to have correctly projected future needs.

Surely trains are very efficient and commercial-only on-rail transports for non perishable/non urgent goods can ALSO run on renewable when there is enough energy also stabilizing the grid and leaving perhaps a side channel for perishable/urgent goods, a thing no other practical means can do BUT they are still not flexible. We design a network hoping that in a decade and for more decades it will be useful to pay it back.

That's why I'm for air and water transports: a plane/chopper/drone a ship/sub/* can go anywhere on air/water, we all needs infra on departure and arrivals places. They cost more in operational terms, but they are flexible and cost far less in infra terms. Development of "flying cars/taxis" and "new cheap ships" seems to prove that such line of thoughts have various advocates. Surely that scale only in a distributed and not that densely populated world, are we heading to a mass genocide perhaps?

I don't think it's necessarily the HN moderation team's job to tell us what we should and should not find interesting. It's a crowdsourced news aggregation site and discussion forum, not a magazine with an editorial board.

The sheer number of upvotes on this article, despite the attempt at suppressing it, is a clear indication that, regarldess of what dang thinks, a lot of people in the HN community think that something that is most definitely not boring and worth reading has been said.

I'm inclined to agree? I personally do tend to agree that golang in and of itself is kind of a boring horse that's been beaten to death at this point. But this article was interesting, anyway, because it had an interesting and thoughtful perspective on what kinds of things matter when choosing a language ecosystem more generally. One that I, as a hobby language designer, was glad I read. Even the bits I don't think I agree with. Even some of the bits that seemed unnecessarily invective.

Today, with Robinhood, Webull, and etc there are many people who have their own blockage account and they manage it themselves.

However, they don't know what to sell and when to sell to minimize the tax penalty while mitt some specific criteria. for instance the new stock be 50% of the portfolio or other criteria.

Is your anger directed at Airbnb or at the tourists? Both parties just do what's in their best interest. It's a typical economical transaction which makes both sides better-off.

The problem is that the Airbnb situation creates externalities. In your case it's annoying neighbours and, in the broader sense, it's e.g. the gentrification.

Local governments are the ones to blame here and the ones who should be responsible to manage the externalities. There must be some clever policies to mitigate the problems.

If majority of retail was blocked out of buying during this period, then who was on the other end of the transaction and why do you think they would be buying when retail has the buy button turned off and the stock is 'severely disconnected from reality'? Could Robinhood have disabled margin accounts and only allowed people to purchase with settled cash as a way to keep the margin requirements in check?

It seems big money was conspiring against retail and makes it difficult to trust the current opaque system.
Perhaps approaching from the point of view of programming as a means to end might be helpful? If they have any hobbies or academic projects that could benefit from automation or using computers, that might be a good starting point?

For example, when I started studying engineering, it was great to see solutions of differential equations and ways to solve them on computers. Others have suggested games which could be great if they enjoy gaming and want to know more behind the scenes. Basically my approach would be to find a problem or two and use programming to show that computers can do wonderful things once we learn how to interact with them in various ways.
>This is an appeal to authority, a logical fallacy

Fallacy fallacy.

The appeal to authority fallacy would be to claim it's ok for them to do it because they're the best. The OP did not write that.

The OP wrote that on the spectrum of how to be worried, since this vendor has a track record of good behavior, and since the EULA pieces are pretty reasonable for the vendor to manage the software (which most film makers likely don't care to manage), that it's more likely that this will not be the issue that some make it out to be.

Stop making everything a (false) fallacy claim and simply address the discussion.
