I think the biggest misunderstanding is that Antifa is some sort of group or organised movement.

That's it. Of course being anti-fascist or anti-capitalist are some of the main talking points of left wing protesters and sure, there might be groups of organised protestors. But there is no one organisation behind it all and that is the misconcenption many people have when they hear the word Antifa.

No one should be afraid or ashamed of claiming to be anti-fascist, just because some people who have claimed to be that have not acted ethically!

But why would that be beneficial? Having the terminal multiplexer "in th shell" seems so much more convenient. I use Alacritty and tmux but I always open tmux anyway.

Yeah.. I really don't get it. Also, why is being "woke" a bad thing? Would love a thorough explanation.

I use flatpaks all the time and I almost always have to adjust these permissions to be more restrictive.

It's really not an issue with flatpak itself, it's the maintainers who give permissions that are not restrictive enough. It's understandable because it makes it easier to package and maintain.. but it also kind of makes the whole concept useless.

What I personally want is apps which are as, if not more restricted than mobile apps.

When I tested out eBPF a couple weeks ago I immediately had LittleSnitch in mind! Great to see that someone had the same idea and also the time to make it happen.

There's much more that can be done as well, I really highly recommend taking a look at eBPF!

Yes, you got it. Important is that a wave has a frequency and also a shape (e.g. sine, square, etc.). Even if the shape is different and the frequency is the same, the "pitch" is the same. The shape is the "timbre", or what makes the instruments sound different.

You can deconstruct any given sound wave into its partial sine waves. This is typically done using a Fourier Transform algorithm (FT).

Of course, we can also do it the other way around, create a signal out of many sine waves. In practice, this is called additive synthesis.

Instruments not only sound different because of the timbre. Another thing to look at is the loudness over time, e.g. when plucking a string. We usually do this with an ADSR representation (Attack, Decay, Sustain, Release).

Knowing these chracteristics is enough to recreate an instrument with a synthesizer. Of course, it gets more complex when there are inharmonics and if they are irregular (different depending on each tone). That's why synthesizing instruments realistically is a pretty time consuming science.

Not sure why he said that it's a lie. I have had lucid and vivid dreams that felt very real. The most significant one was when I "woke up" but in a dream. I then woke up again but this time for real. It was so surreal and at first I wasn't sure whether I was actually awake or still in a dream...

It haunted me for some time after because I never expected something like in the movie inception to be possible in real life.

Looking at US politics as a european, it seems like the republicans are far right and the democrats are center left. The problem is how these two parties have a duopoly. I'm pretty sure that Sanders supporters and other more progressive leftists heavily critisize Biden and the democrats.

So no, it's not only republicans and Trump that get "cancelled".

What I truly don't understand is how many people invest into BitCoin. There seems to be a complete disregard of its problems and its technical limitations. Why would they choose the "flawed prototype" for their investments?

I can only assume that they didn't read and learn enough about the subject before throwing money at it...

They could have. If they shorted again on tuesday at >300 they could have made a lot of money by covering the next day when the price dropped due to the buy restrictions. At one point in the aftermarket the stock even hit 500$ and the next day went back down to 190$. That is potwntially a lot of money for the right short positions.

I don't think that Robinhood had any other choice here. Their partner is Citadel, which is basically a "middleman" broker. Citadels main business is this, for every incoming stock purchase, they buy stock at an amount that is just slightly lower, driving up the stock price a tiny bit, and then sell the stock to the buyer, pocketing the difference. They can do this because they have direct access to the stock market and are fully autonated. Robinhoods access to the stock market is also through Citadel. Citadel also bailed out the Melvin Capital hedge fund earlier this week.

I would imagine that Citadel can simply force one of their partners like Robinhood to do anything by threatening to cut them off from the market entirely.

I think their main goal now is to make sure that the lawsuits and fines they will be hit with will cause them to loose less than a short squeeze in this stock would eventually have.

But all of this is just speculation. I don't actually know anything about the stock market, I started reading about it two days ago. I don't want to "conspire" or anything like that, just my theory.

If Melvin Capital got out, then why was the stock still 140% shorted after that announcement? I thought that 11% of the shorted stock was from Melvin Capital, it doesn't make sense that there was no significant change in that figure.

I am not trying to conspire, genuinely curious.

I saw this coming from a mile away because the way these threads were used was entirely new. Essentially, threads were used more like live chats where people reacted to the stock price. Everytime a thread hit the 100k comment limit, they had to create a new one. Due to the activity, the threads were also constantly at the top of the reddit frontpage.

This was my first and last "gambling session" with stocks. Bought in at 70 and sold at 380. Really glad that I got lucky for once but I'm never gonna do that again!

True. It will render the web and certain CAPTCHA systems entirely broken.

What we need instead is more control on what can be accessed with javascript. Things like screen and window size, locale etc. should all be spoofable and configurable by default. We also need a sophisticated firewall and control matrix right in the browser.

I can already do a similar thing for mobile apps on android. I spoof what permissions they can use and what data they actually get. That can include sophisticated things, such as stripping EXIF data from any image before an application gets access to it. Or a simple popup that asks whether an application can access the clipboard once.

I can't even fathom how most people live without such finegrained control. The only hope is a new browser that respects the user from the beginning.
