I don’t think you know anything about the ad business other than being an end user. “They replace worse and spammy ads”? What does that even mean? Your post is a spam.

After M1, I am definitely holding out for Mac Pro rather than going the AMD route. I am sure there will be a ton of professionals thinking the same. While I’ve always cheered for AMD as a company, I think Apple will gain substantial market share in the next decade. And AMD just doesn’t have the resources to fight that wave.

I know the direct impact is to Intel but think AMD just can’t catch a break. They finally have something going against Intel and now Apple and Microsoft will eat its lunch.

That’s fair. I was also a math major so perhaps my concentration was a lot more theoretical in nature.

As a CS major, I can honestly say the ONLY thing of value was a couple of algorithm classes I took. And even then it was from a text I could have read on my own. Unless you’re what I call one-percent talent, CS theory is not going to help you much in your career.

Isn’t it really the semi industry unwilling to invest because they don’t want to get burned just a couple of years down the road. I just don’t see this demand lasting.

I trade in multiple platforms and I put in limit orders (RH doesn’t even allow market afaik). To be fair, I am probably not your typical trader since I’ve been a fintech developer in the past as well as have been involved in analyzing many SEC cases for/against major financial institutions. I will say this: it’s extremely hard to prove execution quality on options trading let alone doing it in 2020 when the market was so volatile.

Govt cannot be an arbiter of what people do with their money. Period.

I hate to break this to you but front running happens all the time in finance. In fact that’s the entire business model for bulge bracket trading desks. I know it’s easy to point fingers at RH but what they’re doing is very benign.

I know what you want to say but that’s an awfully bad example. I would take out that loan 10 times over.

I believe this is to punish RH for offering zero commissions. Especially on options. I seriously think what RH offers, for anyone who’s traded options on the retail side, is a game changer.

Libertarianism changed a great deal in America in the past 20 years. It’s not what it used to be and has been usurped by the right wing and corporate types.

I see a lot of “libertarians” on HN and SV in general.

Edit: Ok now I am getting downvoted because I called them libertarians when they’re libertarians.
