The terminology difference just depends on who introduced the drink to the region and when. The east coast uses "bubble". West coast uses "boba". If your Chinese community was more Cantonese/HK than Mandarin/Ta

Starbucks has high volume/volatiliy from its earnings call earlier this week. GM just dropped major news (only EVs by 2035) also causing some stock buzz.

Defeats the purpose of using a broker/clearing house, there are products that let you trade on the exchange directly. RH probably figured there's no point in integrating all the way to the end if no one would normally use it. Same

Sure, that's what would happen if buys and sells could reasonably be paired up. Robinhood/Apex could've just kept these buy orders open until it found a seller at any price and closed unfilled orders at the end of the day. Th

Typically when you buy/sell a stock, it's not moving anywhere. Robinhood would try to sell the stock to someone on Robinhood buying the stock first. The big banks and brokerages have enough people buying/selling within its pl

Robinhood uses Apex behind the scenes too. Apex is probably having trouble clearing these trades (given how one sided it is) and just decided to not trade them, resulting in the butterfly effect of multiple brokerages not trading these stoc

I value a consistent enough default style. I'm not going to waste time arguing why this specific consistent style is better that some other consistent style and I'm certainly not going to police the codebase manually and force it

Some people just don't like casual conversation and wouldn't initiate conversation on their own. If you have enough of those types, no communication wold happen. Ad-hoc conversation tends to be interruptive which is not desirable

I've lived all over California and it pretty much never happens outside of SF. Smashed car windows and poop on sidewalks are kinda still uniquely SF things, not general California things. Other places with rampant car theft tends to ha

Our experience with Delta Engine has been that it's way more resource hungry than the JVM code it replaced. It doesn't handle resource exhaustion well at all; lots of crashing and deadlock when nearing full resource utilization. I

Now I'm curious what Apple and Netflix has done to deserve being considered as more evil than Google.

I think Google Photos would be a closer comparison for Carousel. I think it would've been the smart play for Dropbox to expand on that if they wanted to maintain consumer customers. Photos are kinda the only thing people willingly pay

Can't drive to a Disneyland from Cyprus, duh. No point marketing to people who are unlikely to buy the profit making product. Serious answer, probably just lack of launch partner or people on the ground to help Disney navigate the loca

Disney always knew how to produce content, so producing more content isn't unexpected. Since this is HN, I'm more interested in how they'll scale their engineering systems. On one end, you have Netflix practically leading the

How Disney and Netflix run their streaming services and their strategy for them couldn't be more different. Disney+ was always supposed to be a poison pill for the industry, everyone will try to compete against it and bleed out money p

Interestingly, on my machine, all 3 implementations took the same amount of realtime (~30s), but the ractor implementation took ~200s in systemtime. I'm guessing the ractor switching overhead ate up whatever parallelization gain it got
