Because that would be illegal market manipulation. Any institute, including GameStop themselves, would be committing a crime if they knowingly triggered a short squeeze. The SEC rules on this is quite clear. What's interesting to me is

It doesn't even have to be average human. Let's say AI only gets to 10% (or 20% or 30% or whatever, it doesn't really matter), that's a huge number of jobs being lost. Imagine having a machine write all the "simple&

On iOS, opening up saved passwords just uses firefox's password manager. On the desktop, I just open up firefox's password page. It's always running anyway. It works just like another password app.

Self hosting sucks for an average user, and terrible for a mobile user. It is possible to have hosted password solution that is secure, so why not use it? This is basically the same "cloud" vs "on-prem" debate. Cloud won

My grief (and grieving) is not with this. If you had an advanced degree in math or physics, hedge funds in NYC was always an option to maximize your talent in exchange for money. But one also had an option to choose something different and

I disagree with everything you've said. The only difference between myself and my other friends (who also have advanced degrees from top universities in the bay area) is that I abandoned my field of study and jumped into tech. After 10

I have a question. Is it not possible to create a good cryptographic hashing algorithm that results in 128bit or 160bit hash? It seems all the modern, secure ones are 256 bits or larger. Is that because 160 bits is too easy to compute colli

googling for "ivermectin hospitalizations" shows actual hospitalizations from ivermectin. Maybe they are not "significant" enough for you. Anyways, I've seen enough "iver" posts on [1] to keep me away from

Actually, it does. The only reason one would be taking iver prophylactically, is because one wasn't vaccinated. And the only reason to take iver after covid symptoms develop is because you didn't take the vaccine. If one was vacci
