It detected the abuse perfectly, that was the point it was trying to make. They're not using it because they don't want to

I realize this isn’t something people want to think about, but that’s precisely why these people are doing what they do unchecked. The most surprising thing about this is that the people generally are living pretty normal lives and those close to them don’t know that they are running this industry

Another example of a corner being cut is that it was not tested on pregnant women

it does work though, because the sandwhichers will just take the delta between the accepted amount out, and the actual expected amount out, front run that, then back run the bulk of the trade with selling that delta on top of the bulk of the trade and benefiting from the price impact that the sandwhiched trade created

yes, I reluctantly do indeed

I'm curious about exploring this myself, would you mind explaining in more detail what is lacking after forking the main net with ganache?

Is it that you need a high powered server to fork it continuously, and that smart contracts tend to cost a lot to execute, or is there more to it than that? I don't understand what contracts and variables that you're targeting won't be included with the solution we're discussing

I'm far from an expert on this, you probably know better than I do, but wouldn't forking the blockchain at the block height you're interested in with Ganache and execute it there be enough? or is the issue the transaction queue?

I've had the opposite experience too. I have an Nvidia linux card and Wayland on Fedora has always worked very well for me. In comparison Xorg on Ubuntu was a nightmare on the same machine

it's not the same because many retailers do lose money because the short squeeze fails to execute. They dont just not make money, they buy shares for $300 and have to sell them for $100

it's not. Here's an example

Scenario 1: 1. Client buys share for $400 2. Hedge funds get short squeezed (because trading is not restricted by Robinhood) 3. Stock shoots up to $1000. Client made $600

Scenario 2: 1. Client buys share for $400 2. Robinhood restricts buying the shares (so the short squeeze doesn't happen) 3. Shares plunge to $50 because the short squeeze failed to happen (ie the hedge fund did not have to purchase the shares at higher prices, which is where the capital that the traders would share amongst themselves would come from) 4. Client lost $350

you completely missed the point. the fact that the squeeze fails means that it fails to squeeze the shorts of the hedge fund, which is the one that will be coughing up billions to pay all the retailers. So yes, the retailers that are buying shares at higher prices will indeed lose actual real money if the short squeeze fails. And it will be due to what is likely to be market manipulation (ie screwing over its clients) by Robinhood

I didn't until you linked to it, but having read it it still does appear that comparing single thread to single thread is not very accurate. Neither would core to core considering single thread does hold some weight compared to real world workloads.

I guess at the very least CPU benchmarking software should have a "thread to thread" benchmarker alongside a "core to core" benchmarker, or something along those lines.

That would be in the spirit of having benchmarks indicate real world usage

It turns out that the benchmarks for M1 vs latest generation Intel & AMD CPU's are indeed overblown, and it is an incremental improvement more than a great leap forward.

The source of the confusion has been the benchmarking software. To saturate one core on an Intel processor you need to run two threads, because that's the way they are designed. So the single thread benchmarks that have been used so far have been using 50% of the capacity of an Intel CPU core and comparing it with 100% of the capacity of an M1 CPU core.

if only they'd do this for apps accessing the microphone, or do the same thing as they do with the camera making the application visibly request access

You wouldn't know of any reason to believe that the NSA had access to google traffic back when they did if Snowden didn't allow you to know. Why choose to assume they don't rather than do?

they want to push iOS. They are begrudgingly updating their Mac line, with horrible specs such as 5400 RPM drives, and are avoiding holding an event for the announcements.

This way they get to ward off accusations that they have forgotten about the Mac, and they get the profits from the sales, while still trying to drive consumers to iPads.

I'll listen to music everyday for a week then not at all again for the next 8 months. I would happily pay for it on demand, but monthly it'd end up costing me something like $10 per minute of music listened to per year.

This is idle speculation from somebody who has no idea what they're talking about. Because it was published on Wired it has gone viral.

It's just technical enough that most people who don't have a clue think that it might be right so they spread it.

Anyone who knows about data processing, programming, or AI knows that it's a very stupid idea due to easy-to-implement fault tolerance (such as random dropout) in machine learning models.

not to mention ls, gcc, perl, httpd, and the rest of the BSD subsystem on which it is based

It'll automatically unzip, decode UUEncoded files, and jump through other hoops to get at the underlying data to present it to you transparently and on-the-fly.

This is using the same data recovery engine which forensics software uses that I wrote which has been purchased in bulk by the CIA, FBI, and various other government institutions around the world.

When I used to smoke I did not litter butts when I could avoid it, but they are so disgusting (they stink, they make your fingers stink, if you wrap it in some paper or plastic and put it in your pocket your pants will stink) that you just want to get rid of it. Most things are easier to get rid of because you can put them in a bag or something until you come across a trash can.

didn't the very first paragraph fta make things sufficiently clear?

"Since the beginning, screenplays have been written in Courier. Its uniformity allows filmmakers to make handy comparisons and estimates, such as 1 page = 1 minute of screen time."

Sorry to spin off topic, but perhaps having the chance to speak to someone that's worked on SSD firmware for the first time...

is there any feasible way to recover data after a TRIM command has been issued that you can think of? Is there any way to trick the firmware into not returning 0's when reading the blocks of a deleted file? Mostly interested in doing so for Apple

TRIM destroying the entire data recovery and forensics market seems like such a big deal, I still can't believe it although it started years ago

calling an opinion "100% correct" seems 100% indefensible

Also a "Solo dev for an app with hundreds of thousands of users"

I just test everything myself. On one OS (Mac). The worst part is having to run VMWare with older OS versions sometimes, but not usually.

I find that bugs are almost never OS specific, and are rather just logic errors.

I find that having other people test my code adds little value, as I can literally just test it myself in the OS that I write it in most the time.

I know that this goes against all advice that you read, and all the "common knowledge" that is out there... but I've been doing this for 15 years and have got over 1 million users in total probably, and I almost never get support emails regarding bug reports. So, in my experience, I really find that everything I have heard is wrong. I realize that other people may have other experiences but found this point of reference interesting.

Point taken when you say it's only used as a mirror... but he doesn't hate it. He both dislikes it and likes it. This is FTA:

"The hosting of github is excellent," he said. "They've done a good job on that. I think GitHub should be commended enormously for making open source project hosting so easy."

But then he listed a few other things he doesn't like about GitHub, including "the way you can clone a [code repository], make changes on the web, and write total crap commit messages, without GitHub in any way making sure that the end result looks good."

Does it strike anyone else as ironic that Linus, the creator of linux, wrote git, which then went on to be used for github... and that it was good enough that Linus decided to use it to host linux on github, and then Microsoft bought it? So now, unless it gets moved, the linux kernel is going to be hosted on Microsoft's platform, even though git itself was created by the creator of linux.

Thanks so much, I really appreciate the help. I'm going to delete my comment in a few minutes to preserve a little bit of anonymity, but I've taken your advice to heart and will work on it.
