They seemed to say that a special software hack was required to block the wifi, so i was wondering why the obvious physical hacks were not worth it.

I’m surprised that opening the router and physically disabling the wifi antenna is not a solution. I would understand that running the router in a faraday cage is not viable as the ethernet cable has to get from the router to the dish.

Have you looked at the robots out of boston dynamics? They look more mobile than a lot of non-handicapped people. Maybe another avenue is smart physical assistants instead of just exoskeletons, "i, Robot (2004)" style.

What about an exoskeleton with retractable wheels, that had motion powered or rollerblade style? I remember seeing a video of a robot that switched from quadruped/hexapod walking motion to sway like a rollerblade / skater.

i would guess “anything but english”, and German is more spoken in the EU than french.

OP is describing the logical reason for english, i’m presenting the emotional reasons against it.

by throwaway-571 5y ago
I have nothing against op’s well written and documented comment but it is describing the status quo. it’s like saying cobol is the most used programming language, why use java or python?

I’m french and most of the content i watch is also in english, made mostly by americans with an american point of views and ways of resolving problems. Sometime in british english with british point of view. I think it’s sad that that you d

I think embracing english as the main language of the EU is the worst idea since Brexit. It’s anything but neutral. It’s a concession made to the brits and a trojan for the Americans. They left, they can f right off and take their piss poor

What Pidgin user(s) could possibly be worth that much? Are there some activist or terrorist monitored by a 3 letter agency that is computer literate enough to use Linux + pidgin to try and keep away from prying eyes (or just plain ethical r

Don't they have to buy stock to exit the position? How do you sell a "short position" that is hemorrhaging money? (genuinely curious, I'm learning about this to distract myself from covid-19)

The gamma squeeze also works going down, if they had to load shares on the way up they have to unload on the way down, accentuating a down trend. When you drive the price of the stock up you increase the interests the short have to pay on t

I am wondering the same. Maybe everybody is kinda hoping for the short squeeze? WSB is to stick it to the man but the other market participants? The stock is shorted above 100%. If the price goes up enough, maybe the shorters will be have t

For exemple Robinhood mostly getting out of the GME trading business because it was too hot and they ran out of credit with their clearing house, preventing their users from participating in the market.

Aren't we in a bubble since march 2020, if not sometime in 2018?

In rsk everybody is at a roughly similar technological level. it really depends on things like technological level difference (ask the mayas and aztec) and philosophy, and if you're expanding as fast as you can, you can probably mobili

Apparently retails traders were only 1/3rd of the transactions, and the stock went up on the aftermarket on thursday, so I don't think retail traders are driving this price _anymore_. https://www.bloomberg.com/opin

One of the interesting point was that the retail traders were only 1/3 of the volume and trading out of the stock. So who's pumping this?

He'd have to find some other very cheap stock with very cheap far out of the money calls with a high potential for rising 11000% in a year. I'm taking suggestions. I don't know if there is anything cheap available on the opti

it's in his daily screenshot. But he still has $30M in stock and calls.

Robinhood was founded on that idea, but it turns out it's kinda hard to deliver. When people where trying to invest into this rising stock they ran out of credit at their clearinghouse and had to stop their customers from trading.

WSB is trying to create a short squeeze by buying call options to crush the shorters. RoaringKitty found the stock underpriced in 2019 and then managed to turn 50k into 13M in 1.5 years + and is still holding 22M in stock and calls.

It's kind of depressing when you look at these crazy success stories of lottery winners. You realize even a small bet at the right time could be life-changing. Let's say instead of buying a Latte every working days at starbucks ov

Yeah, but (don't) think about where your life would be today if you had done those thing earlier. It's like you knew the winning numbers to the Powerball and just didn't tick the numbers at the shop. It just sometimes when li

You can still make money of a joke if you are quick enough! Just @-mention Elon and here you go.

Is there a spoiler tag on HN ? These ones still hurt: There is a lot of thing one could have done "for the LULz" but decided to browse HN, Imgur or Reddit instead. - Bitcoin. I heard about it when it was still possible to mint it

While I understand the sentiment, they don’t live in a bubble and mask work by lowering the transmission at the source, not as much at the destination. Anti-mask / anti-vaccine people can still take down science abiding citizens with t
