The thing is, high-level languages like Python are already a really efficient way to communicate requirements to a computer, and we've already seen a massive shift from low-level languages to high-level languages in applications that d

The same thing is done with Social Security and Medicare in the US. I hate it when governments try to obfuscate things like this.

Things getting cheaper to produce via efficiency is (a negative) part of inflation. It's not a separate phenomenon.

I think some _would_ define free will as necessarily separate from physical processes in the brain. Absent the existence some kind of magical soul-like concept, the free will debate in general seems like more of a semantic argument than a r

Not that your link isn't a problem, but I don't think algorithm bias (which Twitter tried to fix when discovered) is worse than an explicit policy to suppress content with: > Abnormal body shape, chubby, have obvious beer belly

I think the more common stance is that diversity is neutral, not good or bad but merely incidental.

Matt Levine's email today estimates retail investors to be about 30% of total volume (with actual data from Citadel), but retail was net selling on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. So theoretically retail is enough to move the price i

Is this actually true? I feel so naive, I would have never guessed.

Do retail investors really have a choice at this point? When I opened my Schwab account there were fees for each trade, but now it's free like most (all?) others. The only broker I know of that doesn't sell order flow is Interacti

My point is, why is Robinhood still selling options that have a 95% chance to expire worthless, if their actual motivation is to protect their investors from high-risk trades?

Do investors really think they can predict the income of a company in the 2070s with ANY degree of accuracy? None of the top five companies by market cap even existed 50 years ago.

Are buyers of these stocks really exposed to more downside risk than the buyers of the way OTM options they sell to retail investors freely?

It seems "the long run" in the context of this quote is getting longer over the past 20 years (or more), with high multiples and companies that won't return the capital invested in them for many, many years, even in optimisti

To be clear, the one banned is the only WSB discord server with an active connection to the subreddit. The other one is a legacy server run by a former moderator who was banned for using the /r/WSB for personal gain. It's muc

I don't think that's necessarily alternative. Probably, both your theory and mine are parts of the explanation.

Where is the anger? On social media I see mostly people who sort of gleefully think the chaos is funny.

Reply-reply (not sure what the purpose of the edit was?): Clearly discord doesn't want to actively suggest illegal activity happened on their platform, so they're not going to state that as their reason. I guess in the face of you

Obviously the answer is the large volume of eyeballs (or eardrums in this case) and attention on the server that was banned. I'm not sure how you would know whether they were being genuine in their stated reason (unless you work for di

Not sure what the "narrative" you're projecting on me is? The administration literally announced they are monitoring the online stock pumping situation. That's a pretty fair motivation for Discord to drop a stock pumping

I'm incredibly naive to think something I didn't claim, allude to, or comment on at all? Rich and well-connected people can tick off other rich and well-connected people.

People saying "retard" isn't the real reason, they're just using it as an excuse. Powerful Wall Street types who gambled against them are losing money because of the hype train they've ignited and are crying to regu

They've officially ticked off rich and well-connected people, so regulators are coming to shake the tree branch (I have no idea whether what they're doing is illegal or not) and the platforms want to distance themselves from that

+1 on the stores providing the shoppers-- I've used Instacart a few times in Washington DC and I'd say it's more than a little unreliable here. I've had such amusing results as: - Four bunches of ~7 bananas instead of 4

No need to typecast as long as you can teach the rodents to bark, since the police should be using Dog Typing anyhow.
