I'm the original commenter. I don't have any of the shorted stocks. I only find the story fascinating. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Sorry, I should have backed up my statement. Apparently, most hedge funds are actually doubling down on their short positions, believing people who are holding will sell. GME is still shorted more than 100%, so it's basically a game of

No snake goes out of its way to attack humans. They are mostly nocturnal and chilled animals. As for laying eggs, think most of them lay them underground. To be honest, I'm also very afraid of them, but like sharks, they are very essen

They can keep pests, such as rats and mice, in check. And some species that are harmless to people prey on poisonous snakes, reducing the chance of a deadly encounter.

I’m so fascinated by the way snakes move. They seem so efficient and elegant. Slithering is only one of their methods of locomotion. Another great method they use is Sidewinding: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidewind

I think we can't overstate the deep impact Wikipedia had in the past 20 years. The initial idea was so counter-initiative. I thought it would fail due to vandalism. But despite that, it thrived, and somehow it became a great source of

It’s more reaching the optimal solution rather than lack of innovation. Look at commercial airliners for example. All of them look very similar, except for the number of engines, and size. It’s not the lack of innovation, it’s due to the fa

Seeking revenge, with premeditation and planning is not unique to humans. A lot of animals also hold grudges against others and humans. So there must be some sort of evolutionary advantage that might not be too obvious.

Moving off the orbit is not as easy. You basically have to slow down in order to de-orbit, and that requires rockets. These end of life rockets adds to the weight of each satellite which adds to the cost of launching them.

I always thought it was insane that the CPUs had instructions specific to a particular application in a particular operating system embedded in them. I think the close we get to the metal, the more abstract and general purpose things should
