I've been a member of WSB since January 2020 and this is not entirely accurate. If you look closely, it is unclear whether WSB is actually what drives a pump. Quite often, something happens, a stock gains insane valuations and WSB find

Not sure where you're from, but most Western countries have no legal basis to detain people leaving their homes just because they're not vaccinated. There might be some restrictions like air travel though.

Tesla might actually say: "Everybody, we need to push end of quarter sales. You gotta release the FSD as it is. App team, you gotta implement some butt purchase button for FSD that has no undo. Thanks."

House price appreciation is a side effect. You can still collect rent. Or have a roof over your head.

If everyone bets on a short squeeze, someone has to hold the bag. VW did spike to 1,000€ in '08, but it also dropped hard again. So, the short sellers need to cover, they realize insane losses, return their shares back to the lender an

True, but there are examples where 1-based indexing is easier, like returning the last element based on length. I think array[array.length] is easier to understand than array[array.length - 1]. Or the predecessor of the last element: array[

This is actually a very plausible explanation for the valuations of Bitcoin and Tesla and, to a certain extend, this is exactly how the stock market operates right now . Maybe it didn't work that way in the past, maybe it won't i

Copper IUDs still exist for several reasons and they work pretty well without hormones.

Or it wouldn’t really be that much more. How do you come up with hundreds of billions of dollars? Who are the buyers?

Sure, that is a possibility and I would love this. But for 2020 and the survey in general: satisfaction is a skewed metric. Take it with a grain of salt.

Not sure why you're downvoted, because your post is true. Svelte's satisfaction score is kinda worthless, if it is used by a fraction of the number of people using React or Angular. For what it's worth, most of them are proba

Sounds like Wirecard and they went down 90% in a week and 99% in total within two weeks. Popcorn time.

I mean, it’s annoying, but I’m at the point where I wonder if it does matter at all. I don’t let WhatsApp access my contacts or photos. I tried very hard for a long time to not give Facebook my phone number. But if any of my contacts agrees

Making art and selling art are two entirely different things.

This. If I have to support my parents financially and physically, my cost of living are higher in a rural area than living like a student in SF. So what makes cost of living ? It’s a BS metric.

Google Maps: I use it for driving, because of traffic data, not because of map data. I use OSM through Komoot for hiking, biking, walking. Because every tiny trail is in there and Google Maps is lacking this. I don’t use OSM directly, becau

On 1: I think the final judgment is yet to be made. We don’t know how many businesses will keep going for how long and if there is just a delay in bankruptcies. Also, inflation in consumer goods can show delayed as well. And assets are alre

Please define "talented artist". Artist != someone who sells artworks. Selling art is something else than making art. You could argue that it is almost completely detached from making art. If UBI makes 10% of the population "

From $10,000 to $1T would take almost 46 years. Guaranteed growth of 50% per year? I mean, what’s the point of this hypothetical question if it is completely unrealistic? You could also ask: how much would you be willing to spend right now

Great news, I hope this helps to increase trust in Threema and to get traction. I use Threema with a lot of contacts already (I’m German).

Good examples and yes, that makes the utility clear. But it's still zero-sum in dollar terms. So, if there is a big story about "The boys who made 600 million dollars with oil futures contracts", that is strictly in terms of

I agree. HN is net positive for me over the many years I’ve been around. But if you want to cut social media, you probably should include HN ;)

In dollar terms and with futures described in the article, one parties losses is the gains of another party. Risk mitigation or liquidity are parts of the portfolio management, not the trade itself. I sell you the future, you buy it. Differ

The pawn shop is the exchange and yes, they provide utility. But one person sells a contract, another buys the contract. One loses money, the other gains money. The exchange isn’t part of the equation. It’s zero-sum between contract parties

But not within a few hours or days. For the type of trade described in the article, someone was at the other end of the futures contract. Their loss is Vegas gains. There is nothing else to it. Zero-sum. I don’t talk about long-term investi
