Publicly announcing that "they're considering it" is the first stage to actually implementing it. And the moment that happens I think history books will use as the marker for a new era.

I've been here since 2007 and haven't had a problem. Read that first sentence again: On-Topic: Anything that good hackers would find interesting. If you don't like it, flag it. But if you look at the front page, it's

And I do that too. It was common in the days of typewriters and lingered for some people. A friend at my first workplace after college told me I was "doing it wrong" by using only one space -- and I can't go back now. I am

HN hates "me too" comments but I couldn't agree more. Absolutely stunning job. Great work. I don't know how I didn't know it existed before.

It's not joining the EU. Its application has been accepted. Bosnia's application was accepted in 2003 and it's most certainly not in the EU.

I hate programming. I like constructing software but I loathe programming. Designing Chartres is thrilling; building it with pebbles and tin-foil (all current programming languages) is heart-breaking.

There's food that's great and there's food that's art. If you're lucky enough to have experienced the latter, you'll know it.

No. His research for a better filament was conducted by a large team.

You're making a straw man argument and attacking it with a lot of anger. No one investing in GME is on a timeline. No one. Could it there be a huge gamma short squeeze? Absolutely. The due diligence that Mr. Gill put together is i

There's a reason I've been following the story. There is nothing new about hedge funds naked shorting (essentially counterfitting) shares, and nothing new in the SEC's refusal to do anything about it. What's new here i

I'm not holding. I don't own any GME stock. I've just been following the story. > some shadowy cabal of hedge funds You keep diving into hyperbole. It's just hedge funds that bought naked short positions and got ca

Your vitriol is because you place a timeline no one else placed on a position you don't hold? So you're angry? You're not angry at hedge funds for naked short selling? You're not mad at the front running? Did you or d

And you say this for other positions that you don't like? Puts of $fb? Calls on $nflx? Of course not. The reality is that hedge funds engaged in illegal naked short selling, confident that they would never get caught because the SEC

I didn't say that. I'm saying there are many ways of hiding short positions.

Most retail GME investors intend to hold and not set a date or trigger price. That's the strategy, actually. Institutional investors that got caught naked short selling can manipulate the price and stall but they can't stall fore

There are many ways of hiding short positions like with ETFs. Look at the XRT (an ETF holding GME).

Your account is only four hours old but you have a dozen comments in this thread, all of which are desperately pleading with people that the shorts covered, there's no squeeze possible. Smells desperate.

The more that directly register their shares, the smaller the pool to manage the price. It doesn't have to hit 100% for there to be an effect. But if it ever does hit 100%, the price has no upper bound.

Your position is not falsifiable either. Show me the proof that they've covered. Of course you can't. But you're confident anyway. Based on what? You're certainly in the minority among retail investors. That makes

Sure. There is a lot of confidence on this thread both ways. No one will know until all shares are registered, which is why there is a rush by GME holders to DRS their shares with Computershare. The markets have been corrupt for quite a w

I'm glad you're confident. You have to understand that retail is also confident and it is directly registering its shares. When it reaches 100%, let's see.

The SHF have not covered their shorts. The price movement can be related to several factors and if you want to believe that it means they've covered, you're welcome to. I would suggest reading more if you're interested. The
