> The alternative to responding with SWAT isn't to do nothing, it's to respond with a less dangerous force (two/three/four officers in-uniform, knocking).

SWAT does not get called in to every domestic violence call.

The one in discussion isn't a welfare check or noise complaint, it's an angry man with a shotgun in a near-hostage situation. He's already angry, and now threatened by being outnumbered, and knows the night will end with him in jail. Desperation++. You've escalated the situation and increased risk to everyone. This is America, not Japan. When the SWAT team gets involved, it's a disruption tactic to deny him time to think or act.

> I'd rather a police officer be shot in a domestic dispute than a guy getting shot in a swatting incident.

"We won't have your back if you fuck up, and we'll leave you for dead either way" is not a selling point for any career. This one isn't exactly popular to begin with. Without the hero worship, there is little incentive to go into public service. The money is better in the private sector. Ask me how I know.

Firefighters and EMTs don't have to deal with this shit, so nobody has anything bad to say about them. We forgive their mistakes, even when people die.

As badly as I want to answer this question, the way it's formed is going to ensure that the only answers you get are all cliche's.

So I'll ask you a question:

It didn't simply happen all at once. It's been going on since the inception of the world wide web. Are you really surprised?
I find Twitter really annoying to use now, since they made it so all of the replies from blue checkmark accounts get boosted to the top of the feed. I have to scroll past all of them just to find "normal" comments. The BlueBlocker browser extension is helping, but it can only block 1 account approximately every 15 seconds, or it triggers a rate limit and I have to sign-in to Twitter again.

I don't know why swatting isn't prosecuted like felony/aggrivated assault with a deadly weapon, just like if you took a couple of shots at someone. It is probably mostly white middle class "kids" doing it though.
fwiw, Bluesky is fully federated (well, will be, it's in development, but it's well on the way, they just launched the federation sandbox the other day), and identities are portable, so it shouldn't be susceptible to the same dynamics as twitter. Plus, the dev team has stated a number of times that "the company is a potential future adversary" is one of the principles they keep in mind when designing the protocol. Plus, it's a Public Benefit LLC, for however much that's worth. And I really do trust the good intentions of the current devs and leadership (mostly the same people), based on my somewhat extensive interactions with them—I think their hearts are in the right place.

So of course it definitely could go badly fo a variety of reasons—but I think there's good reason to be optimistic that it will go well.

It can be solved by cutting needless expenses + charging money for things, but not necessarily for content. 1% of users pay for everyone else's ride.
Well for one, what's the long term strategy of providing something for free, when your user base will simply use an ad blocker to block your one attempt at income?

YouTube in particular simply isn't possible without monetization, a substantial amount of that money at least does go to the creator.

Also for things like reddit and Twitter, lazy users is the real truth. Instead of having to locate the forum for your obscure topic, you just see if there's on on reddit and call it a day.
Yes, toxic flows and adverse selection are the magical buzzwords that get thrown around a lot. I’m familiar with glosten-milgrom model and private information and all related paradoxes.

What you’re failing to disclose is that there is an easy way out of solving the adverse selection problem. For example you could buy “uninformed flow”. I think that you could agree that for the touted sophistication of the field you would expect something … more sophisticated?

Again, don’t get me wrong. I love the field but I think it’s stagnant in certain aspects and I like to have a sober view of it.

EDIT: As a thought experiment, envision a setup where the trading strategies compete on the basis of the strategy itself, with a single global market with a single API that takes bids and offers in rounds and anyone who wants to is allowed to participate for free with no fees whatsoever. For the sake of example, suppose it’s a government owned and operated project just like the GPS (for which you don’t have to pay a subscription) in your phone. No market access fees, no market data fees, no preferential latency treatment. A perfect coding competition playground.

How many current market participants do you think would survive in such an environment and if your answer is different than the current number, why?
> In the meantime, let's extend copyright protection to programmers and stop shaming them for accepting it.

Who is shaming programmers for accepting copyright protection? The entire free software copyleft concept, while admittedly a kludge, rests on programmers having copyright protection. However, I and many others can and will continue to shame anyone who violates user freedom because violating the rights of others is shameful behavior.

> This is boring.

Lots of things are boring when you willfully misinterpret them.

Don’t you agree that you’re providing more value by offering software that respects user freedoms than by not?

The problem is you’re relying on copyright to create economic opportunity at the cost of user freedom. A better approach for everyone involved would to be a system that rewards respect for user freedom since that’s providing more value than not. Unfortunately trying to pound the square copyright peg into that round hole just doesn’t work very well so it’s strange that an idealist like you is advocating it so strongly.

It's not really possible to determine this because it's a prisoner's dilemma of sorts.

If I have 50 neighbours with no zoning rules, 49 of them stay put, but one sells up to a developer, the 49 who chose not to sell now have to live with the additional density, while the one family that sold up "wins" and moves elsewhere with their stacks of cash.

Without zoning, or planning permission, or _some_ way of the locals preventing land use changes in this way, you eventually end up surrounded by tower blocks.

Is someone still using gopher? It's weird that there is no libcurl wrapper. I expected to find one. (I used the http libraries that are included in the main distribution, but some people may prefer to use libcurl instead.)

> Part of the racket web server requires continuations to use - so that's a blocker for anyone wanting to check out the racket web server in its entirety.

Yes, and the webserver has two kind of continuations. In one type the info is stored inside the memory of the racket webserver. In the other type the info is stored in the URL or something, but you must use a subset of Racket to be encoding friendly.

I use the webserver, but I just ignored both of them. Each webpage is a different rkt file. So fancy servlets, no continuations. All the info is stored in cookies or the hard disk.

Sort of makes you wonder what the hell the point of all this was.

Thanks for sharing. I also joined reddit as a college freshman (2012). I don't even remember how I discovered reddit - I want to say maybe via StumbleUpon? My trajectory is pretty similar to yours. It's pretty surreal to have a community I actively participated in for my entire adult life essentially go dark in an instant. Of course the website still exists, but it certainly won't be the same.
I agree, but you must admit hustle culture is a thing, and the OP sure sounds like they've fallen victim to it.
Agreed. I was going to add at the end of my comment something along the lines of

"If just the police isn't good enough, we find ourselves further down an unpleasant spiral than we thought we were".

I also agree with the person to whom you're replying though.
Apollo had an optional safari extension that caught Reddit URLs and opened them in Apollo instead. It was great.
I may be an optimist but I think it's just one swing of the pendulum.

The web was riding a wave of monetized eyeballs, and the value extraction from it has become incredibly … bad. With people having gotten used to the internet, ads gotten more aggressive, more people using adblock etc etc the "free content" industry is in a race to the bottom, they long since reached the bottom and are now fighting over shovels.

The LLM explosion is the spark in the powder keg. Now those companies with broken business models have execs pressured by investors seeing the end of the free ride. A lot of money is riding away from this model purely based on (reasonably justified) fear.

What's next? Well, predicting the future is difficult, but IMO it's reasonable to think that high quality human content will now come at a premium. For example, subscriber-only communities (be it pay-gated, or gated in some other way… login-only won't cut it for long IMO).

The pendulum will swing the other way until someone once again finds and popularizes a push for free and open content, and the cycle will begin anew.

It always irked me that public institutions embraced Twitter as a primary means of communication in many cases. It never seemed right that a private company was being put in between public functions and the the public which depends on them. Not to mention, since I live outside the US, a private company in another country. I even wrote complaints to one local public body to ask them to set up a communication channel that wasn't controlled by a foreign private entity. Of course, they laughed at me and I went away like a good citizen.

It's hard to map this onto my framework of "reasonable paranoia". Even while I felt uncomfortable about it, it never occurred to me that Twitter would actually cut off access. Now here we are.
Oh, one more thing. Your bar method.

Are you using number of trades or sum of trade sizes?

Because if the former, there is little distinction between me firing off two market buys of 100 shares each in quick succession vs me firing off one market buy of 200 shares, so your sampling shouldn’t be impacted by the difference.

I’m not altogether convinced by volume sampling. It’s an idea popularised by De Prado, but I’ve never seen it actually work in practice. It makes you trade more when the market is going through turmoil, it makes you trade more over time (as volume per day generally increases), and I haven’t seen any evidence of the importance of information content.

If you’re trading based on patterns in the market, it’s easy to lead yourself to believe that you’re predicting the market. That isn’t the case, though - the market is formed of many many independent people making guesses.

The thing you’re actually doing is predicting what other people are going to predict. If there’s an established pattern, like some moving average crossing another or a wedge or anything else like that, the reason it tends to complete is not mystical - it completes because other people see the pattern, think it’s going to go up (or down), buy (or sell), and then that has the effect of pushing the market in that direction (it also means that anyone late to the game can’t benefit from the movement).

As such, the strongest strategy when trying to use technical analysis to determine possible market moves is to use the resolution that everyone else is using. This is overwhelmingly time-based. There are people trading in the 1s regime, the 1m regime, the 15m regime, etc, and they’ll often stick to that and execute trades with a proportional rollout time and aim for a proportional profit.

If you pick just a random number of trades or amount of volume that suits you, you can easily find that you are out of sync, competing against no one in particular, and you’ll see that it’s impossible to find a pattern.

Many other people use price levels. So they’ll have their limits and stops at round numbers, or at percentage changes on the day, week, month, etc. So there is an argument for price bars too.
Besides some movement in the tiny individual cells, the black spots are not moving, not sure what the timelapse is trying to show.

Great article: concise and to the point. The old Greeks were often first to scribble down a lot of notions, early on. No doubt the same ideas might have surfaced elsewhere too and no doubt we'll hear about those discoveries here on HN.

For the layman such as myself, who might like to get some sort of idea what the old Greek civilization might have been like I do recommend "Courtesans and Fishcakes: The Consuming Passions of Classical Athens" SBN 0006863434. Also dive into any modern translation of Herodotus - well worth a read.

Britons might like to investigate: "The Extraordinary Voyage of Pytheas the Greek" SBN: 0140297847. Pytheas describes the Pretanike. Change the P for a B and allow that -ike is an old Greek ending and you can see where Britain comes from. It seems to translate to something like "painted/tattooed peoples". The old Britons - iron age - might have displayed woad tattoos. However, this: https://www.tastesofhistory.co.uk/post/dispelling-some-myths... seems pretty well informed. I do find myself agreeing that William Wallace was probably not an Australian! I can also confirm that running up his memorial tower, near Stirling is rather easier when you are 11 than when you are 53. Lovely view though.

No, not true at all and I don't agree. Otherwise no government program could take race into consideration, but they do. Are you saying any kind of programs that are "race based" should now be null and void? Because you can't nit pick situations given your logic. Also downvotes don't hurt me and I don't care, I will continue to speak my peace.
Around 45-50% win rate but I try and keep the runners going for as long as possible and exit out of the loser trades quickly (this basically just costs you the commission on losers but sometimes more). You can tell within a minute or two if what you expect to happen is going to happen. So, even with a 50/50 win/loss rate you can still make money. I make around 100-200 trades per day. Sell everything before market close.
Can you talk a bit more about how it works? Is the page reloaded on submit?

So what if he did? How the hell is that a crime? "Abuse of political power"? What a joke. Completely made up nonsense. Out of all the questionable dumb shit he said during the pandemic, this is what he goes down for? It's obvious they just wanted to destroy the guy and everything he represents.

Remember what the TSE judge-king said? The voting machines are "unquestionable". It's trivial to raise reasonable doubt against such standards of perfection if you bother to look. The military audit for one said the voting machine software's makefile would download unaudited libraries off the network and link them to the final binary. It's fruitless to try to convince laymen who barely understand what source code even is of the importance of that fact but I'm sure anyone here on HN will appreciate the potential for a supply chain attack on the voting machines. You know, the very same type of attack people submit blog posts here on HN about every few months, same attack vector that compromises developers of big tech corporations. Faced with such criticism, they should have released the signed binaries that ran on election day so we could reverse engineer them. Instead, they grepped the report for the words "there was fraud", didn't find it and censored everything as "fake news". Literal censorship. You call this a democracy?

You apparently forgot all about the relentless, nearly unilateral censorship campaign against Bolsonaro in the months leading up to the elections. Lula defends abortion but it's fake news to claim he did. Lula is friends with communist dictators but it's fake news to say he is. Lula is a socialist himself but it's fake news to say he is. Lula was condemned by multiple judges for corruption but it's fake news to say he was. Only yesterday he went to his communist forum and openly said he's proud to be called communist. I just saw news that there will be "military exercises" with the countries of Lula's dictator friends, hell he welcomed the Venezuelan dictator on our soil.

You call this a democracy? These supreme court judges are openly biased and they think nothing of blatantly unconstitutional political censorship. Who are you supposed to turn to when your supreme court judges start openly shitting on the constitution? I'm supposed to believe my country even has laws after witnessing that? Whatever bullshit the judge-kings write on their paper is law.

I'm not convincend this coup nonsense is anything but smoke and mirrors. Actually I wish these people had the balls to attempt it. Given the entire justice system turned into this circus, only the military could possibly bring order to this mess. As far as I'm concerned, the judiciary planned and executed their own coup, they practically named Lula president. Even you admit it yourself: "Even though the superior courts have a political nature".

Big day for brazilian democracy? We aren't one. It's a judiciary dictatorship. They're working to censor Bolsonaro friendly radio stations right now. Ever seen a democracy do that?

Vs.

“Look at this scary Baz. Feel emotions about it. We want you feeling anxious and ill-equipped. Okay now here’s Foo. We want you feeling better. Nicer music. Smiles. Good emotions from you. What a relief. If you’re tired of being a dumb idiot who suffers from Baz all the time, we can fix you with Foo.”

My point is that you dont have to pay $80k per year for 4 years, and move to Boston to get a top tier education.

Perhaps your local state college could create local learning environment good enough to teach your cutting edge research and subjects, with the assistance of AI. And mobilize your local community and find peers to accompany you on your student journey.

Top tier education wont be available only to ivy leagues students, but any state school student. And this policy is strictly better than any Admission hack hatvard coukd ever do
Even if the AI didn't make stuff up, it's unclear to me what value it adds over...

It would be hard to overstate the debt Christian philosophy in particular and classical theism in general owes to Aristotle.

The Judeans and Israelites who would become the first Christians were very much within the Greek cultural and intellectual sphere, so it’s not as if it was a medieval innovation by Aquinas that introduced Christians to Greek thought. Not to say that Aquinas didn’t make huge contributions of course.
