word on the wall street bets street is that there are a couple of big whales that are long on gme,amc and they are trying to generate a squeeze. at this point in time it’s basically a battle of the trading bots with the whole world watching

this is a classic example of a positive feedback loop. wsb did not do all of this but they were the spark that created the fire.

you believe markets are rational. they are not. if the hedge funds that messed up unload shares of other companies they own to eventually cover, this could easily escalate via a positive feedback loop collapsing the whole market (the fact t

really? really? this is stock investing 101. don’t invest what you cannot afford to lose. i find it condescending and insulting that they are claiming to protect the users.

I know exactly 0 people that believe the system is fair. The consensus was that big whales have an edge over the retail investors (not that it’s blatant manipulation whenever things don’t go according to the program) I believe we need stron

this is not about who and how wins. this is about a level playing field. the field is not level now and the sheeple are waking up

the cat is out of the bag. you can suppress maybe one or two of these squeezes but fundamentally this changes what they are going to try in the future (ie they need to rewrite their playbooks)

so heads I win, tail you lose? why would the SEC step in? I think if they step in they need to put in stronger rules from the wall street shamans not inhibit the retail traders. the stock market is not gonna get in trouble if a bunch a peop

the marker does not need to prevent anything. you have a bunch of large short sellers that oversold the stock (how can one short 140% of al the shares out there you wonder?) and when the stock started moving up the were left holding the bag

it depends. depending on the dhcp implementation on the server side you may have the same problem (ie while you get a new lease it may expire at the same time). unlikely but I’ve seen some stuff when it comes to dhcp

you answered your own questions. people that don’t understand the nitty gritty details of technology (any technology) will put more faith in it than people that understand it.

nah. it sounds like you’re arguing what the odds are but let me ask a question: what are the odds that a self driving car has a “glitch”? At what threshold should one be willing to bet their lives in this probability every time they drive?

I don’t get it. This person was abused to the moon and back and al they want is for Apple to “fix” it? How would that even work. I would say: lawyer up and make them pay through the nose. Once that happens 1) all the people involved in this

It’s okay to have your own opinion. I think it’s really easy to judge others when we are not in their shoes and to believe that somehow we could have done a better job. As you point out, it’s hard to understand what would have happened in

I’m going to respectfully disagree. He did contribute to MS before he became CEO. And invested in a lot of things where the fruits are harvested to this day.

AWS instances run Windows too. And MS makes money off those instances. Also, Azure runs Linux too. Microsoft is in the post-Windows phase and it's working on things that will keep it relevant long term

one could argue that Windows is the most popular consumer OS even today (keep in mind the HN is not representative for what people normally run). Also, a decade later, Microsoft is experiencing a software renaissance, in part, due to the th

when Ballmer took over MS was right after the anti-trust fiasco. There was a time when people were not sure if the software giant was going to survive. They did under Ballmer. From a sales pov, the company also grew and prospered. Microsoft
