What's more likely is a help desk tech will see the email, maybe ask their boss about it, and ultimately write back that there is no option to opt out.

They're not going to provide you with more information, because that would limit their ability to do something in the future (especially since the person writing the response isn't a product manager or engineer and doesn't know anything about it anyway).

It's worth a shot, if you don't mind the time to write a quick message; I'm just skeptical that anyone would actually pass the message up the chain that their legal boilerplate noone ever reads is vaguely unsettling.
No, they do it because they know the flow from Robin Hood isn't toxic. It's not about them losing money (market makers hold flat positions, they don't care what happens beyond the immediate future) but about them not being more informed about immediate market moves.

If an asset manager wants to buy treasuries for hedging purposes, or an ETF manager wants to buy equities to rebalance, they are also uninformed from the perspective of a market maker.

A lot of people on Hacker News are in the USA, so we see a lot of USA salaries posted here. Obviously you'll make a bit less in Europe, that is a different system, salaries are lower but social services are higher. And outside of the West, I think we all understand that salaries are lower. We could adopt the habit of stating which country we are in, with every comment that we post. Would that help?
Thank you all for the great comments. I'm glad most of you liked it!

Many doctors also tell pregnant women to stay away from soy. One doctor linked me to a study that male babies from mothers that drank soy during pregnancy had statistically smaller genitalia.

You might be right about “overly cautious” but I think doctors being that way is more reputable than gym rats quoting their favorite fitness blog.

The lesson that I take is that all non-essential packages should instead be in an official, separately versioned, stdlib.

Go moved "image/draw" into "golang.org/x/image/draw". This was a good solution because it meant you could update the compiler without having to worry about also updating your image drawing stuff and that possibly breaking.

I wish they did that with http, tls, and all the other stuff that isn't really part of the language itself.

As is, I usually have to wait months to get compiler benefits (like being able to use generics, or smaller binary sizes, or fixes to bugs) because the compiler update also comes with breaking changes to the http package (like the http2 change) or tls or whatever.

My lessons is that there should be 3 tiers of libraries:

1. Compiler-versioned libraries. Things like io, syscalls, reflection, and things who's implementation depends heavily on the compiler internals. Breaking changes are never made without extreme circumstances.

2. Official, separately versioned, standard libraries. Things like golang.org/x/ or the idea behind the rust-lang-nursery. This is for stuff like http, logging, tls, crypto algorithms, image manipulation, high-level filesystem APIs, other protocols and abstractions. It is supported to use an old version of these libraries with a new compiler forever, and the compiler will never change libraries in 1 in such a way that they could break any old version of 2. You should update these whenever you can, but they may make breaking changes, and may be versioned as such.

3. The rest of the packages, stuff the community writes. These should prefer to use semver, and should prefer to use libraries from 1 and 2, but no promises are made.

I think having these 3 tiers is ideal, especially because it makes it easier to update the compiler (it will never break you), ensures perpetual support for older versions of official non-stdlib-but-still-core libraries (may make major releases that break, but the old one builds and works forever).

This is already pretty close to how C works actually, and it's great. Tier 1 is the actual language spec itself, linking libraries, etc. Tier 2 is libc. Tier 3 is the rest of the world. I really don't have to worry about how my pthread_create call in glibc will break when I update gcc because that separation is well maintained, and backwards compatibility is assured.

Python and go are both a clear step back, where I update the compiler to get some feature, and then my http server stops working even though I had no intention of updating it.

They had no choice. They literally couldn't obtain any more GME stock. You cannot squeeze blood out of a stone. What do you want Robinhood to do?

The GME situation got into a "sold out" situation. Much like how a toy-store runs out of Furbies back in the 90s, Robinhood ran out of GME-stock to sell to its customers.

They would allow "selling", because Robinhood can then obtain that customer's GME stock, and then give it to another customer almost immediately.

------------

All of this margins and stuff is probably just overcomplicating things. You're basically getting mad at toy stores for running out of Furbies, PS5 (or whatever fad-toy is available) during Christmas. Sold-out means sold-out, they can't sell you anymore.

But they were willing to accept sell orders (aka: buy GME stocks from others), because that would replenish their stocks of GME to sell to other customers. If some PS5 scalper came up to (insert store here) saying "I wanna sell my PS5 at market prices", of course the toy-store would buy the PS5 (and immediately sell it to the next customer for a higher price).
There's a big difference between a stock freeze imposed by an exchange, and a broker prohibiting its clients from trading a given stock. If you're actively preventing your clients from selling the stock they own, that costs them actual money if the stock goes down and can very well end in expensive lawsuits. If you prevent them from buying more stock, they only lose the opportunity cost, which is generally much harder to recover by legal means.
No joke, I agree on the vast majority of things he says. I say vast majority because I assume there are things he thinks that I don't know and see different. Else, everything I hear from him is basically what I think, give or take some small adjustments.

You could call me a Socialist, and I would be fine with it. However, I would never support an authoritarian or non-democratic system. In my opinion my country has the best political system which currently exists, so I feel fortunate for that. Still, I don't find it to be perfect. Too much lobby-ism, aka. corruption. Too much influence by industries. At least everyone has a vote and everyone can technically start a process to bring change.

Healthcare, critical infrastructure, essentials and maybe more should belong to the people of a country. The US seems to be a country belonging to those who own the most of it. Businessmen, politicians and so on. Markets have to be regulated and controlled. Tax avoidance is no different to me than tax evasion. Yada yada, feel free to ask more questions about my opinions, but I guess this is a good start.

The one thing I have to give Robinhood credit for is the good marketing that appealed to Zoomers and the WSB crowd. But, much like Crytpo Andys, a lot of these people just don't understand how anything works.

Take the GME short squeeze, which a lot of people still fundamentally misunderstand. RH allowed (allows?) you to sign up, promise to deposit funds and trade on credit, essentially, until those funds arrive (typically in no less than 3 days). That settlement process dind't go away. RH just abosrbed the risk.

That's fine when the market is normal. Some people might buy GE and others might sell GE so it all evens out. By this I mean the default risk to RH is mitigated (but still real).

The problem with GME is everyone was buying in a short space of time to the point RH had to borrow billions to cover the collateral requirements to the point it was risking making the company insolvent. That's how extreme it was. So what happens if people sign up, buy GME on credit and then GME crashes? RH is left holding the bag. That was the problem. It's also why GME blocked further purchases bu tallowed sales because sales decreased their overall risk no matter where they came from.

But no, how things actually work is ignored in favor of the system protecting hedge funds.

Personally I don't use any free brokerage because of the order flow issue, which is to say that all your orders are sold to hedge funds and that's where RH makes it's money. Just like with free online services that sell advertising: you are the product. It's so wild to me that people bitch about the evils of advertising but accept without question the selling of order flow, which is directtly taking money from your pockets. Crazy.

It's even crazier when you consider that the aforementioned evil hedge funds supposedly protecting GME short sellers are directly funding and benefitting from RH order flow but they get no flak for that.

You can only get away from not knowing how the underlying thing works. It'll eventually come back to bite you in the ass.

“ Every religion states that the other religions are lies “

Almost no religions state this, it might be an interesting thought experiment to steel-man your arguments :)
Let's for a moment assume that an almond tree serves no other purpose than to produce almonds (for almond milk), and a dairy cow serves no other purpose than to produce milk.

The average dairy cow produces 2320 gallons of milk per year.
Dairy cows drink 40 gallons of water per day, which is about 14600 gallons per year.
A grown dairy cow eats about 30 pounds of food per day - 50% grain and 50% grass, so about 5475 pounds of grain per year.
It takes 127 gallons of water to produce 1 pound of maize.
Not counting the water requirements for grass, and assuming that our cow only eats maize, we'll need 695325 gallons to of water to feed the cow.

It takes 22000 gallons of water to irrigate an acre of land. Each acre produces 2 tons of hay, so we'll need 11000 gallons per ton of hay or 11 gallons per pound, which is 60225 gallons of water for grass.

Total water consumption of 1 cow per year for grass + grain + drinking water = 770150 gallons.

That brings us to needing 770150 gallons of water to produce 2320 gallons of cow milk.
So, about 331 gallons of water to make 1 gallon of cow milk.

They say that each almond requires 1.1 gallons of water.
1 pound of shelled almonds = 3.63 cups of almonds.
There are 416 almonds in a pound. So, about 26 per ounce, and 208 per cup.
There are 16 cups in a gallon.
To make almond milk, we mix 6 cups of water for each cup of almonds, which will yield us about 6.5 cups of almond milk.
It'll take 2.46 cups of almonds to make 1 gallon of almond milk, so 512 almonds, so 563 gallons of water.

Things we're not accounting for in the above comparison:

The water cost of producing pesticides, fertilizers.

The water cost of producing health treatments for cows.

The water cost of producing diesel to transport grains to the cows.

The water cost of producing electricity and packaging.

I'm sure I'm missing a lot.

It makes sense, in a way. His starting hypotheses is that all historical record has been falsified (names changed, dates changed or invented, etc). Yet, there is some information that can still be extracted from the historical corpus of falsified texts, by studying the statistically significant correlations between series of events. That is, correlations that would be nearly impossible to occur in purely invented events. As a working principle it's very interesting. Like decoding the enigma cypher!

Apart from that, he seems to explicitly ignore well-known and reasonable data like tree rings and c14, for reasons that he must surely explain elsewhere.

I find all of this very amusing, and maybe a bit tragic. But it does not make me angry in any way; and Fomenko is certainly a person worthy of the utmost respect. Newton also famously worked in stuff that we consider crackpotery today, like alternate chronologies (heh), alchemy, occultism, etc.
But naming the opposition "white supremacist", "far right", and "racists" is perfectly accurate and OK.

They don't need the whole clip. They can easily grab a single frame, encoded and compressed to minimize the filesize. The camera also has a wifi radio in it which does who knows what behind the scenes. Since the firmware is very much not open source, I have no way to tell what it's doing. It could be constantly trying to phone home over open wireless networks (or partner hotspots). Hell for all I know the thing could have a 3g radio in it, constantly talking to home.

It's a map, not the territory. The degree each person "needs" on of those things varies a lot between people. It's not strictly necessary to fulfill one level before achieving something on the next one either. The idea is that it's easier to go higher when you've already filled-out the stuff below.

To your sentence "You can lack personal safety but still have self-esteem and self-realization." I would not agree. You may have a very low need for personal safety so that it is satisfied, but those are so far apart you're unlikely to reach self-actualization if your safety needs are not met.
Seems correct.

Looking at the scwhab 2020 pdf i could find quickly they added ~4.6mm new brokerage accounts between 19 and 20. Wonder what the recent stats are.

Article says robinhood lost 1.8mm if i'm reading correct.

Fits my use. I did a small amount on robinhood when i first came out. Now have that small pot for active trading (compared to people here i'm sure) in schwab.

I am also considering moving the larger savings i have in wealthfront to schwab. But i'm afraid of my impulsivity. About 10% of my savings are in a schwab account i actively trade on. Down like 20% over the last 360 days lol. Despite 1% fee my IRA is like doubled - though a much longer timeframe. I did put my 2021 tax IRA into new account on schwab. 80% medium risk ETFs. and just bought ttt and some bull levered etfs. lol. too impulsive.

If schwab had a setting to automate or place holds so I couldn't sell for ___ in my IRA I would move it all. Maybe i'll open a second account different login so it doesn't show up on the app/website.

Does Georgism Work?
It's bizarre to me how many people really seem to have sided with Robinhood on this and blame the consumer's for being "too dumb to understand the reality of what happened."

Situations occur, and usually customers are receptive if they are given heads up and a reason why. But Robinhood just completely subverted their customer's expectations rapidly and unexpectedly. The entire purpose of their app is TO abstract away the complicated world of stock trading - and they failed to live up to that goal during the GME saga. So I don't get why people are going against the customers whose expectations were set by Robinhood and coming to the defense of Robinhood themselves.

Robinhood offered a product. They clearly showed they can't deliver on the expectation most consumers desire. People vote with their money, and are leaving Robinhood (I cancelled in favor of Fidelity in February 2021). It's fine, it's how capitalism works.

What's shutting down is the public syncing server. That server is literally just a message store: it takes CRDT changes and puts them in a big table. And it servers them back out.

Now that the server is public, it's incredibly easy for you to run your own. It's such a simple server (no postgres etc requirement) that this model is actually way better.
Omnipotence, but in such a way that achieving what I desire will always be an interesting but not frustrating surmountable challenge.

Wishing for anything less than omnipotence is suboptimal, there's always more you could wish for otherwise. If you want to do good, even if you wish for world peace & a cure to world hunger & cures for all disease... you'll still have general human suffering. And depending on the type of genie directly wishing for such things might just mean the genie eliminates the world! If you want to maximize the good you do, you have to be able to correct for any unintended consequences (or first wish to be able to know and understand all the consequences and weigh all possible choices).

Wishing for garden-variety omnipotence would be boring. Of course you can alter yourself to make it non-boring, and with my version of the wish I could certainly remove the challenge afterwards, but I'd that makes the wish itself less fun.
I know that Facebook's Typescript competitor, Flow, was both written in OCaml and tried to introduce the HM type system into the JS world. It was quite popular back in the day, but eventually lost the war to TS.

Perhaps more notably, they are still actively working on Rescript (formerly ReasonML), which is an Ocaml dialect with JS as the primary compilation target (think Clojurescript but Ocaml). They also maintain a flavor of React specific for Rescript. I don't know how much they dogfood it, but it seems like they're at least somewhat betting on an ML future.

Depends if you count the cost of statutory health insurance as a de-facto tax, in which case it's closer to 40% again. There's a bit more nuance to this (there's a contribution cap), but if you ever read that taxes in Germany are lower than 40% odds are the speaker is leaving out health insurance.

Aside: The neat thing with the statutory health insurance is of course that they have to pay for your treatment, no matter how fucked up your situation is or how little money you have - but if you're healthy and well-paid it's poor value.

To be fair exchanges do that all the time (ie. trading halts).
> You're not entitled by law to take a hammer back if it doesn't work as you expect it to.

Actually afaik in most jurisdictions the sale of goods carries an implicit warranty from the merchant that the goods are "fit for purpose" - essentially that it "will work like you expect it to", or at least in the way that most people would expect a hammer to work - as well as that it is of an even kind and quality for the good. So like, if they sell you a hammer and it's actually made of glass, or the head falls off after the first hit - both of those would carry an implied warranty from the merchant and you would get your money back (in small-claims court, if necessary).

The US is one such jurisdiction.
