So are retail investors truly no different from the people gambling their money on the lottery at the 7/11 every night?

Do any regular pedestrian middle class retail investors EVER actually earn enough to retire on? Or do anything meaningful with? If so.. what is THEIR secret sauce, since it's not HFT...
I wonder whether an alternative could be like a Reddit or mastodon with paid-for subreddits/servers (not familiar with mastodon) being able to be started like a colocation service ala linode. Ie customers just sign up and the backend provisions them infra as needed. That seems like a way to answer the “nobody wants to run their own server” problem.
So do you have an actual solution to the spam problem that makes it work with any email server?
Why? CBDCs despite the fancy window dressing are yet another attempt by the government to surveil and control us. Sure there are some nice features that would be very convenient for us all, but the real end goal is to replace physical currency.

Cash allows for anonymous, nearly untraceable financial transactions. CBDCs keep a record of all transactions and like cameras in our houses, they allow the government to spy into our personal lives for "the greater good", "stopping terrorists", or "think of the children".
If this happens to be a reference to Microsoft, their famous laying off of qa people has been regarded as a disaster by everyone outside Ms, with windows update quality dropping off a cliff.
This was excellent, and I feel in my bones it's true. I couldn't really have articulated this better than you.
By actually charging for their services?

For every gmail, how many independent email providers do you think exist out there?
2200$ for a phone, which has wanky software support at its best.

Come on, this is getting ridiculous. Phosh is nowhere stable, and these claims cannot be true with an 8 year old SoC from NXP.

I get that made in USA is your brand and whatnot, but people expect a phone to be able to run google maps in the browser, and whatsapp, and instagram in parallel.

If it turns off and reboots while doing that because it runs out of memory, you cannot claim it's a smartphone.

Even the nokia 3310 generation phones could do that with WAP internet access and GPRS. Now it's more than 20 years later and people's expectations are way higher than back then.

How many do you think will recommend a librem phone if your focus is now another not really supported platform instead of improving the software than runs it?

If software is your problem (which I think it is) make it fundable directly. Allow people to support the software development directly, and start a foundation for that. But this 2200$ price tag when a competitor's product has more than 10x the featureset for half the price...there's a limit of what people can take.
I don’t know law and am bad at technology too but I’m wondering if there is ways companies can get around these kinds of laws through a combination of geofencing, blocking IPs, and displaying messages that the service isn’t available in a particular state/country. I understand that it might make economic sense but just wondering if showing a certain amount of due diligence helps absolve them legally.
If the local authorities have an actual life-and-death emergency broadcast to make to the entire area they serve, I suspect they have a more effective means to do this than Twitter. As a matter of public safety, they need to be able to inform everyone, whether they've subscribed or not, and in a way that does not require users to think to check for a notification, or even to have a special device (like a cellphone to receive push notifications). Those extra mechanisms are great and helpful, but they don't replace a true public emergency notification mechanism.

Where I live, the tornado siren, which is beyond extremely loud and mounted high up on a pole in the highest point in the neighborhood, can be used to broadcast PSAs. It screams "THIS IS ONLY A TEST" at noon on the first Wednesday of every month. And you hear it whether you want to or not.
Reddit will continue to exist, but will never come back.
On a similar note, the Boost dev who previously said they were not interested in making a Lemmy app seems to have changed their mind, their Play store account now has Boost for Lemmy available for pre-registration (waitlist essentially).
Thanks for that. We’re trying to break away from some of the problematic realities of educational resources and the distribution of value in academic publishing. It’s been a good ride so far!
Let's look at some of the 'facts' in your post.

> snubbing Russian attempts to join Nato

This is false, Russia itself declined to join after being told it would have to follow the same process as everyone else.

> and expanding Nato to Russia's doorstep against agreements made in Bush Sr. administration with Moscow.

This is also not true, the USSR President at the time Mikhail Gorbachev has said that this agreement never happened.

> (current Ukraine war is arguably the result).

The Ukraine war is more arguably the result of Russias imperialistic notions. But don't believe me, read it yourself from their own news site.

https://web.archive.org/web/20220226051154/https://ria.ru/20...

> His administration has actively worked against a negotiated end to the war in Ukraine.

This is false as well, what has led to the end of the discussion of a negotiated end of the war in Ukraine was Russia's terrible war crimes in Bucha and other areas of Ukraine.
These services have the following (non-exhaustive) list of problems:

- They are hard to use for regular people due to lack of modern and intuitive clients.

- They are somewhat hard to discover and learn. For example, browsers don't indicate the presence of RSS feeds without plugins anymore.

- Security and encryption are an after-thought, if any

Almost all of the above are due to the stagnation of their development (protocols and clients) due to emergence of easy-to-use, but centralized alternatives. They are not good modern options as they are now. But they are good models to build more modern alternatives on.

Yeah, real nerds build their own router for maximum bespokeness.

That's the generic notification the site has always had, I don't think it applies to these inquiries or they should have limited the list of countries in the form dropdown.
>Well-organized PR campaign.

Sure, if you call simply posting his experiences on his own subreddit for his own app a PR campaign.

He certainly did a better job than Reddit did, blatantly lying about their conversation, timelines, and motivations for killing 3rd party apps.

Reddit is trying to pivot to the TikTok and YouTube comment section population of the internet, while the HN commenter types were simply costing them money.

We’ll see how it plays out.

So, will Reddit still manage to have an IPO soon? Or maybe better to ask, a successful one.
In case anyone else is curious about the name:

> SBCL derives most of its code from CMU CL, created at Carnegie Mellon University. ... it's appropriate to acknowledge the descent from the CMU hackers (and post-CMU CMU CL hackers) who did most of the heavy lifting to make the system work. So the system is named Steel Bank after the industries where Andrew Carnegie and Andrew Mellon, respectively, made the big bucks.

https://www.sbcl.org/history.html
That's great, and perfectly permissible, but nobody is actually doing that (in America) with "bum".
That's not what a strawman is.

Sure, YouTube deserves the money. They should find a more reliable way than third party advertisements to get the money.

Advertisers pay content creators money directly to feature sponsored ad-reads on their video, knowing full well that a lot of people will skip straight through them. If I skip an ad-read, I'm not stealing from the advertiser, even though the advertiser is expecting to get money from me. The advertiser has paid the money to deliver this ad-read to me, but I'm not paying them back.

Similarly, YouTube keeps on hosting "free" video content with third party ads, knowing full well that a lot of people will block them. If I block ads, YouTube has paid for the content to be delivered to me, but I'm not paying them back.

Both are investments that don't always see return on the individual level. If everyone stops buying sponsored products that appear in ad-reads, advertisers will stop paying for ad-reads. If everyone starts blocking ads, YouTube will find other ways to get compensation for the storage and bandwidth.
I’ve been learning CL in my spare time and had no idea this was possible or even a distinction between CL implementations. Thanks for sharing.
Do you mind sending me an email and maybe we could chat?

Thank you for your amazing comments. I really like your idea about indicators and saving state. I'll give that a try! Yeah, Marcos López de Prado is actually where I read about the tick bars and sampling at higher rates. You need like 2 phd's to read his books though. haha. I am doing this based on X number of ticks and not even looking at volume. I was using tick count as an indicator in that you can really see patterns when activity picks up. This sync issue is really really interesting and I'll explore this.

"The thing you’re actually doing is predicting what other people are going to predict." I think I've actually seen this in the data. In that you can see this mini-cycles almost when you really zoom into a fast moving stock. I'll check out. Both your comments are amazing and it 100% shows you know what you're talking about.
Importing doesn't inherently make something more expensive, least not between countries with extensive free-trade agreements.

Like, if you compare US vs UK MacBook prices the UK looks way more expensive, but after accounting for VAT they're basically the same.
I posted previously about SBCL and quicklisp. Great ecosystem. I'm still learning but it's usually fun to work in.

I made some recommendations about quicklisp using http by default and how to lock it down.

I don't know if those are good recommendations anymore. I couldn't manage to follow them myself. I couldn't keep up and my patch approach didnt work.

So, I don't know the best approach with that problem, but I was too confident in my post about security suggestions.
The main market for this would realistically the US government or government contractors if the US made some sort of rule requiring the government and contractors to use these types of phones

It bothers me a little bit that having a strong stance against intolerance is seen as being “politicized.” That should just be normal and expected behavior.

Maybe they were abrasive in initially fighting the request to make technical changes to the slur filter, but hey when you ask for free enhancements to open source code you either do the work and provide a pull request or be prepared to be told no.

I empathize with their concern about becoming another Voat or Gab. They want federation but they don’t want a Wild West.
$130 usd a year for youtube. Wow. Thank you devs for ublock origin.
Unfortunately it would require knowledge of the future. My concern with the policy is that I believe it creates perverse incentives that encourage a continuing spiral of more costly higher education, resulting in more debt, and unpredictable periodic political battles over "one-time" forgiveness.

If you could come back from the future and say "that didn't happen, instead it gave college graduates the breathing room they needed to become politically engaged and they successfully pushed for permanent solutions to the problem of increasing costs and debt", then I'd be happy to take the L!

Or perhaps if you could find an analogous country where a one-time blanket forgiveness led to more foundational improvements to the financing of higher education in that country, that would help alleviate my concerns.

But barring that analogous country that already did this (which I don't think exists because, as you've noted, our current system is weird and different than how it works elsewhere), I don't think there's a quantitative answer to this question, because that's just not where my concern lies.

I do think it is a bandaid and generally not helpful, even if it is not economically damaging. Economic benefit or damage is only one aspect of the question.

So many sites and companies have turned on the users that put them on the map. Twitter, Red Hat, Reddit. It's like they're saying "we don't need the users anymore."

It's not "fake news" that you now need to be logged in to see tweets. Whether or not this is truly temporary remains to be seen. But we now know this is something Twitter is willing to do, even if they undo it.

Our public colleges are essentially privately funded at this point. The amount of public funding in most states (with a small number of notable exceptions) is very small.
I've read accounts from Americans living in post-WW2 Japan. Intestinal worms were nearly universal due to the use of human waste as fertilizer.

In one account from a missionary, he noted that a Korean colleague of his didn't have worms, and he attributed it to the high dosage of garlic in the Korean diet. This guy went on a garlic binge for a month and he said it cleaned out the worms. I'm skeptical of this story, because if the Korean diet prevented worms, the Koreans wouldn't have had worms, but they did and in fact still do in North Korea.
I find these "fork in the road" questions endlessly fascinating, and that's exactly what I was getting at with my comment about the motivation for formalizing mathematics. And it doesn't just apply to math, but the whole "tech tree" of human history. How many seemingly arbitrary choices led us down a path that unknowingly diverged from some alternative future?

Last time I commented about this [0], I made some guy irrationally angry as he told me I sounded like I was 19 years old. And in an earlier comment [1], another guy took extreme offense to my questioning of the statement "with enough marbles, the discrete distribution behaves like a continuous distribution."

It seems there is some high priesthood of mathematics and physics that doesn't like when you ask these sorts of questions.

I mentioned multipart/x-mixed-replace above and I think it can work here instead of CSS. You never reload the chat history page, just put that in an iframe and use a separate iframe with a form that submits your newest reply.

Edit: actually this should work even without mixed replace.
Ha, when GPT 4 launched the default HN post seemed to be saying LLM's were about to exceed human intelligence and the singularity was upon us.

So the market doesn't even exist, but might exist if the government creates some hypothetical regulation which has no evidence will ever happen.

The iphone is likely 1000x more secure than this phone and a much better choice for government workers.
You're right. It should be: "MDN LLM assistant generates bullshit to people seeking technical information".
I can tell you that it still works in chrome, this method was used by one of my coworkers as a quick and dirty hack until we had time to implement a real solution for data streaming. It worked fine in all major browsers ~2 weeks ago.
The article itself is well over 6 hours old. While you may technically be correct about the fact that Musk's tweet counts as comment, an article that has yet to be updated should be called "now inaccurate", not "fake news".

The way you've misrepresented this is more akin to fake news than the article is, and likely to get your comment flagged/heavily downvoted.
Tapping on the tech pulse and information control/access is the "business model".

You could have just read the article to see what the author meant by AI Engineers. You also would have seen that the entire article was addressing a point you tried to make, and you could have responded to the arguments made in the article instead of, ya know, just sounding off based on having read nothing but the headline
The end result is the same number of cars, that all have built in features that no one pays for and uses, causing more resource usage and waste but providing no one any value. It just hurts the environment but doesn’t convince anyone to switch away.

I don't know why would I want to use Google Maps in a browser when there's Pure Maps, but I just tried and I can use it just fine on the base Librem 5 model with 3GB RAM. I also have several games installed on it, including even some Android games that work fine, so I don't get what you're talking about at all.

Also, Nokia 3310 had no WAP and no GPRS. The next model, Nokia 3410, had WAP over CSD but no GPRS, and certainly wasn't suitable for anything like Google Maps which did not even exist back then.

[edit] The parent has moved the goalposts quite far in a sneaky edit, but even the edited claims are pretty unreasonable. Of course there was IM running in the background and there was still plenty of free RAM left for something more, and no, "Nokia 3310 generation phones" couldn't do anything like that for at least a few more years :)
None of your comment addresses, let alone refutes, my argument that slavery made America as a whole poorer rather than richer. Can you clarify what your point of contention is here?

It’s ridiculous to blame this on being “data pillaged” when Twitter intentionally priced out any legitimate ways to access Twitter algorithmically.

Part of the challenge with this one is it does that "civil right of action" where it's not the state suing the entity but private citizens. That makes it more difficult for the company to defend against it.

Though this gets into a "how much effort are you going to put into it" and "how much control do you have over the ways the content is distributed?"

This also is about liability for the backend service - not the ISPs or other providers (3rd party apps are in a gray zone as to if it is Reddit or the 3rd party app that would be liable for showing such content... and my crystal ball says it would probably end up being that Reddit would be solely liable).
