> In an Aug. 13 working paper, five finance professors analyzed 85,000 stock trades they made through five leading retail brokers. They did get significantly different pricing through different brokers for identical orders to buy or sell at the current market price.

> But their best pricing came from a broker that takes payment for order flow, namely TD Ameritrade, now a unit of Charles Schwab. Fidelity, which takes no order payments, got worse prices on the professors’ trades than did TD Ameritrade. And its prices were no better than those from the E*Trade unit of Morgan Stanley, which does take payments. Robinhood, which used revenue from order-flow payments to subsidize the industry’s first commission-free trading, delivered middle-of-the-pack pricing.

From rather ancient memory, the high-end Ettus stuff is much, much more expensive than its BOM cost. You're paying for a well-designed and well-tested product with excellent RF performance and a good ecosystem. You buy it and it works.

You could design your own board(s) with the same parts, and you could build it for much less money. But you'd need to know what you're doing, and the design stage would be expensive.

The "age rule" [1] about dating is that the younger person is at least half the age of the older person plus 7 years. This implies that it's okay for a 20 year old to date a 17 year old, but not a 21 year old (unless the 17 year old is 17 and a half).

It's a kind of silly rule, but has some purpose in terms of "ickyness" (edit: and equivalent maturity) when applied to people in the first decade after puberty.

It was brought up in the article. Elon only posted that after the security lead for the messaging product publicly tweeted completely wrong info about the status of the promised security audit.

Also, trust in the privacy of messages is the entire point of E2E encrypted DMs. It's a pretty dumb strategy to launch that feature and then walk it back with a "oops we're beta testing, don't trust that while privacy thing yet." So either Twitter/Elon has a dumb strategy, or they're (still) making wildly silly blunders as a result of self-inflicted wounds. Either way, pretty compelling arguments to never trust this feature even once they say you can.

If the bill is so late insurance won't pay, you are also not required to pay.

Threaten to report them to your state if they don't cancel the bill.

Next get your credit report and file a dispute that that part of it is inaccurate. The vast majority of the time it just gets removed because the biller can not be bothered to submit the needed documentation.

If they sent it to collections that's even better - just call the collection company and tell them it's wrong, and give them a long complex full explanation of why. They will drop the bill immediately - it's not worth their time to fight you.

Amazing work

It's intriguing, because that implies he can work on most things in a way that "fits inside one's head."

Do you know if he extensively calls out to external tools, custom aliases, and the like?

I imagine there is some fullscreen mode where he can--temporarily--suspend ex, make use of custom sourced mappings, and the output is piped back into his editing session.

It's hard to find certain tidbits, so I'm always glad for even the smallest details.

Thank-you.

My advice, (for what it's worth) is to value liberal-arts degree holders far higher than I find many engineers do: People misplace trust in the hard science side of study and neglect what the humanities can bring to the workforce.

I agree, with the caveat that many employers don’t see it that way. They will think you are too expensive for the value you can provide, without even giving you an offer. It is just expected that the 53 year old has more ability than the 35 year old, making it hard for career changers or late bloomers.

I'm not sure what a better system than credit scores would be. How else should a bank determine if you are likely to repay a loan?

To answer your other question about how it's determined, it does not measure how much banks make off you. It measures how well you pay off debts. So taking out debts (or using a lien of credit) and paying it back shows that. As does making regular mortgage payments. You can have good credit in the US while paying no extra money to any banks, with interest free car financing and no-fee credit cards you can pay off in full.

>> How did you go from a chronic project starter to actually finishing and releasing projects?

Why do you care if you finish them or not? I mean that seriously.

This isn't your day job so j presume you're doing this for fun (intellectual stimulation) -once it's no longer fun, and all projects stop being fun sooner or later, then you stop and move on.

If you're doing this for fun, then recognise that "completion" is not a goal, and keep doing it.

If there's another motivation - perhaps you underlying motivation that prompted this message - then you need to acknowledge that and figure out what project best fits that motivation.

For example if your motivation is to ship, and you are aware of that, then you won't be distracted by a new shiny thing because you can objectively see that it will hinder your goal.

But be honest with the goal. If you're honest then the goal will be all the motivation you need. And if the goal is "for fun" then be honest about that, and don't feel bad for abandoned projects.
Content and courses are already there but that's not enough.
The missing important pieces are :
1. certification & credibility:
In an ideal world , this should not be important. But in reality, this is the number one reason people go to schools. Unless Khan academy or similar org can give credibility, schools will still be important.

2. peers :
if you're an adult, it might work for you by learning alone. But for teenagers or even adults, the experience of learning togeher with your peers is irreplaceble.

3. motivation :
it takes some superhuman to be able to become self motivated to consistently keep learning day in and day out without someone else (teacher) monitoring you.

Who says it's for Joe Average? I have an Artemide Tizio lamp designed by Richard Sapper, Joe Average won't appreciate it, but anybody with a little appreciation for industrial design will at least appreciate what it is even if they've never seen one before, and maybe that's something I'd like to bond with someone over as an enormous lover of Sapper's designs.

They're "status symbols" in as much as if someone turns up to a meeting with x pen or y watch, I recognize the value of those things, I think maybe they are successful. Maybe they're also counterfeit, stolen, or what they have to say has no merit, but they do like toys and can't think of anything better to spend their money on. Either way, it's a prop, just like someone's nice suit is a prop, just like their luxury car is a prop.

Can someone see through the bullshit? Of course. But in some circles, bullshit is all there is and the props are a crutch for having nothing of value to say or contribute, i.e., they can't possibly be wrong, or worse yet, ineffective, after all they turned up in the German car with a nice suit and nice pen.

Spoiler: I love Casio watches, specifically the cheapo G-Shocks. I have an Omega and a Breitling, but the G-Shocks get all my loving. The brand isn't what counts for me, the design is everything.

Sapper designed a nice watch... FML.

Show HN: My passion project for the last 6 months
The fact that banks would like this to better determine risk, doesn’t mean a society has to allow for it. Banks could also just accept the higher risk, and work with that. For example by asking higher interest or insuring the debt. There are solutions that don’t require big invasion of privacy.
There is no law requiring the extending of credit to people whose income streams don't support it nor incentive for folks to take such loans on while credit scores can be used to deny folks housing, loans for cars that are increasingly unaffordable to buy outright even used, and jobs or charge them much more for homes/cars over the life of the loan.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest the downside is trivially avoidable by either side and the upsides could be substantial for many folks.
Hey, David! Given the details we know right now about the implementation --- a single P-curve static-ephemeral key exchange for a long-lived GCM key --- would you sign off on that design? Is that how you'd implement encrypted messaging on a platform like Twitter? I mean, let's agree in advance that you might not do Signal Protocol given the expectations users would have. But is that how you'd do it?
Think of this more like SQL rather than Python. This language doesn't replace your main language, and you could implement all of the logic in your main language, obviously. But this provides you with easy-to-access primitives for beam search, constrained responses, etc.

I know from experience that both Norway and Sweden have credit score systems. It’s an expedient way to formalize a single important aspect of reputation, so that people who are careful to service their debts can borrow on favorable terms.

It’s the least painful way of enforcing some personal responsibility for debts taken for personal benefit, and because medical treatment is socialized and the government looks after the poor, nobody should ever be faced with the need to borrow to continue living.

Credit scores in the US are much more sinister, in that respect, representing a measure of not only fastidiousness but also desperation.
> So technically I’m sort of a terrible customer for a bank, but I imagine my credit score would be quite high?

Correct. It's not a profitability score, it's a risk score. The only thing it tracks is how likely they think you are to pay back the loan.

They like to see activity though, they want to see you borrow money and pay it back. If you never borrow money your score can be lower since they don't have data on it.

> But an actual credit score? That seems very dystopian.

At the end of the day your lender is going to evaluate you. In the US they standardized it instead of letting it be subjective. Does that really seem dystopian?

"Organizational incompetence is an every GREATER inevitability than a tsunami, earthquake, meteor strike, tornado, hurricane, or terrorist attack."

No, that isn't necessarily true. Look at the FAA, which has led to ever greater increases in airline safety, to the point where airline travel in the U.S. is safer than driving a car. Absent the 737 MAX debacle, airline deaths per mile had declined by multiple orders of magnitude since 1980.

SMR technology is being proven a safe and and cost-effective nuclear technology.

I was looking just at the boot code. Rockchip has all open source silicon and board code, including the RK3399 https://github.com/coreboot/coreboot/blob/master/src/soc/roc... for memory init. This is the logic typically held back by many other ARM vendors, like Mediatek and Qualcomm, as blobs. There's a pretty interesting diagram showing the blobs in Intel, AMD, Qualcomm, and Mediatek coreboot implementations in figure 5-4 of https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-1-4842-7939-7_.... A more cartoonish variant of the figure (but one that's not behind a paywall) can be found in slide 2 of https://osfw.foundation/slides/SiliconInterfaceDesign/OSFF-W.... You're right. Coreboot has open source board code and some open source silicon code for all of the vendors w/ binary boot blobs. So it's not so completely closed. The blobs are usually SOC-specific, board-independent code flows that 'should' just drop in and work.

>How else should a bank determine if you are likely to repay a loan?

Not this way, or not at all for all anyone else should care. Banks are paid interest for taking a risk, so let them take the risk. No other country on Earth has credit scores like the US, and they don't want them because credit scores are disgusting, inhumane.

This is all true. I don’t think I’d like paying more for debt because others routinely default on theirs. I’ve always been judicious with the debt I take on, and that has benefited me by allowing me to access the cheapest credit and no-deposit utilities.

All that being said, I do appreciate that centralized scoring can go too far. And I don’t have the answer for where a line should be drawn. Or how far back in time the scoring should assess. (BTW, it’s generally 7-10 years I believe, which is pretty short)

How is auto insurance handled where you are? How would you feel about no-fault insurance rates where every driver pays the same amount regardless of risk?
It is counter-cultural to the SV VC types on HN.
Subduing procrastination, as with many things in life, is a matter of knowing when to feel thru vs when to think thru problems.
The alternatives are:

1. Socialize the risk by charging much higher interest rates.

2. Use an informal "shadow credit score" that is based on things like physical appearance, personal connections, and illegal blacklists.

3. Stop lending to private individuals without a security covering essentially the full loan amount.

All of these seem much worse than the existing credit scoring systems.
I use Acid Pro 10... I think it allows me to have a more original sound to be honest. At this point I've found that tools are leveling off in terms of capability and now it's more a matter of what a producer knows how to manipulate best. There are nuances like how audio clips and knowing how built in efx work that make transitioning to a new DAW painful until you catch up, the deep learning curve is steep for advanced production... Rather than switching, I already know how my current DAW works, and it works, so there's no need to change right now.
