Someone educate me but why are hedge funds not limiting the loss by covering the short and closing their short position. Wouldn't that stop pumping from WSB crowd?

The only exceptions I could think of is :

- There isn't enough volume to cover shorts due to incessant buying spree from retail side

- Lending freeze initiated by brokers on client request

Couldn't agree more.

As a pilot run - tried migrating small amount of knowledge base from Evernote to Notion but it just feels too overwhelming. Upending existing information architecture (with umpteen possibilities re: templates) quickly gets exhausting.

This is when I realized, I need an opinionated tool. Gave up and went back to Evernote.

My experience w/ twitter has been diametrically opposite - the fact that ideas represented are easily digestible ideas (especially from fields I wouldn't bother about otherwise) have usually driven me towards exploring it further if it piques my interests.

Ofcourse, its about how you're interpreting this information - by inquiry or face value (which can be dangerous).

I was skeptical about feed quality getting diluted when twitter increased character limit to 280 -- fortunately, for me, it hasn't (as much as I expected) with few exceptions.

Given how frequently they ran out of 65,000 tickets for <enter_any_big_ticket_event> within seconds (which would pop up under resale with > 200% markup minutes later), glad this is out in the open.

Also, Fenway Park is the worst. Had a terrible experience earlier this year while trying to book Pearl Jam tickets. Presale went live at 10:00 AM on February 10th (for shows in Sept) and they ran out of tickets at 10:01 AM, are you kidding me? Suddenly I see spike on StubHub an hour later with ridiculous markups.

Fortunately my Uber driver pointed out and suggested that I wait until day of the event (as fenway park puts up unsold scalper tickets back online at market price). I followed his advice and snagged couple of tickets on day of the event at market price as he suggested.

The whole experience was mind numbing.Can't wait for Amazon tickets to disrupt this space and drive 'em out.

Edit : When I said 65,000 tickets - I'm counting Pre-sale tickets as well including Verified Fan scheme they had going this year.

Pardon my ignorance but why do you need to leave the US again?

Based on my limited understanding - if you already have a EB-2 petition approved, you should be able to continue working on H1 as long as your employer is sponsoring you unless you're moving out of frustration due to long wait times.

When I started out as a web developer 5 years ago, one of the prime reasons for choosing FF over chrome was Firebug.

As a beginner, it made debugging so much easier. Five years later, I still cant fathom using anything but Firefox, alas, without firebug.
