Yeah this is the part I find hard to suss out. If they said we have people who are 104 and the next oldest is 150 holy shit. That's case closed, but the link you sent makes me suspicious of the bias on the other side... I agree with or

I think both upvoting and downvoting are... a poor form of signal on content, but maybe the best one we have. There can be some pretty good indicators that come out of the combination of up and down votes that you can't get from just u

The metric I use in hn is votes to comments. When I want a good non controversial read I go for a low ratio of comments to votes. When I want a more controversial topic I find the things with more comments to votes. It's just additiona

When I went overseas from the USA to another country I had to get vaccinated as well. It's required. That's different. I'm neither agreeing or disagreeing with either point here, I'd just like to point out that it is

They probably also expect to learn something from the failure. If this is a more modern chip that is testing it's radiation hardening, this is a good place to put it in trial run. If it fails, they get new information, if it succeeds

That's IT! Thank you for reminding me. I totally agree, we hear so much negativity his approach to showing how humanity in general is better off today than any time in the past is encouraging.

Gah. I can't remember the book but it classifies the different levels of poverty. There were 4 levels. I'm going from memory but level 1 was what you describe. Level 2 is being able to meet your needs but all your time goes into

>% Short float is public information. And based on the discussions I've had online, it seems people are confused between %short float and %short outstanding. My understanding of this is that it's released on a bi-monthly basis.

No one knows. That's not public information. It doesn't take into account that at 400 shorting GME became a much more appealing idea than even at 20/share. Everyone knew 400/share was unmaintainable.

That's a valid argument, but they showed a ton of revenue lately and shouldn't be valued at 2/share. I think the stock is between a 10/share and 30/share stock but I'm not a professional. Honestly the professio

This. The stock was at around 20/share before the spike and was considered a WIN at that. It's now sitting at 40/share and is probably priced high. It was shorted to below 2/share at some point which is imo insane give

I'd argue you could have said this in a more constructive way. If this were a sports game there would be yellow and red flags all over this incident. -No talking politics -No overuse of anonymous accounts -Be Kind, -Comments should get

Mark Rober has an awesome video on this which outlines a lot and gives a very high level bit of info on it. I can't imagine the amount of stress these engineers are feeling watching this delayed feed. https://www.youtube.co

Without jumping on the conspiracy bandwagon, I'd also like to see this applied to voting software. I know it's a hot topic, and I'm honestly not trying to get political. Software that is critical to our fundamental human rig

As you alluded to in the other comment, these would be safety factors not regarding the structure of the car (which should be focused on decelerating the car) but instead on mechanisms that alert the driver / automatically stop the car

And yet, we're static in that most of our crash tests are done the same way they have for years. They haven't started testing cars crashing at 60+ miles per hour. So while these regulations are great, it's also competition

I switched careers 4 years after I graduated college. It wasn't as much a demotion and more of a lateral move, but it is never too late to change careers. That isn't to say there is no risk involved. Taking a new position has ri

There has been some solid advice from people over there, you have to filter the mania, but there are some gems over there. This morning there were two opposing top posts. 1) summarized as gamble your apes, 2) summarized as manage your risk

There is absolutely nothing wrong with gambling. There is absolutely something wrong with gambling when you are borrowing the money, or affecting your family. As long as people acknowledge that gambling is a risk and put "at risk"

Anyone who's curious about this should just go to the the sub reddit and just read 10 posts. Seriously it's not that complicated. You've got a bunch of gamblers over there who basically treat this as if they're going to

100% agree. I mentioned somewhere else that their Press Release was crap. If they'd explained like people reading were adults, (maybe they did and I didn't see it) then people would have been a lot less mad. It's just conte
