gridder··on Ross Ulbricht regrets creating the darknet market website 'Silk Road'
As the story goes, he was scammed. The ‘2 people’ didn’t even exist... Anyway nobody will ever prove it’s true or not so it’s just hearsay.... I personally support his cause because he is a scapegoat.

gridder··on “Genocide” is the wrong word for the horrors of Xinjiang
Genocide is a perfect word for this. Keep in mind that the situation is probably a lot worse since we are talking about China.
gridder··on “Genocide” is the wrong word for the horrors of Xinjiang
Also, nobody knows how many Uyghurs are actually being killed (probably a lot). It could be a lot worse.

Exactly, and thanks to apple we are not using anymore cheap plastic phones and PCs that last 12 to 24 months at best
gridder··on The Misguided Mythology of Ayrton Senna
I disagree, you need to understand deeply their psychology. Ayrton and Steve were similar on how they coped with obstacles in life. Both were sometimes very abusing. A kind of self entitlement behavior because they know they know better! Edit: and also the uncompromising attitude!
gridder··on The Misguided Mythology of Ayrton Senna
Ayrton character reminds me of Steve Jobs

I agree with you on Back and Finney and I apologize to whoever was offended, it was not my intention...

gridder··on China takes aim at BBC as dispute w Britain intensifies
1. Is there a reason you are in HN? 2. Are you really suggesting to believe ‘chinese officials’ in stead of BBC? 3. Oh wait...
gridder··on China takes aim at BBC as dispute w Britain intensifies
No it’s not the same by far. China is a dictatorship.

This is definitely not the way to look at this, every mentioned country (and many others) has very valid arguments against China.
gridder··on Clover Health: How Chamath Lured Retail Investors into a Broken Business
Empirical evidence cannot be since shorting is legal. This is total BS. The concept of price efficiency is like missing the forest for the trees.
gridder··on Clover Health: How Chamath Lured Retail Investors into a Broken Business
DD is done before investing, for both longs and shorts. I don’t get your point.
gridder··on Clover Health: How Chamath Lured Retail Investors into a Broken Business
This is a false dichotomy, DD can be done well by longs as well as shorts.

Thanks, nice find. Mahua oil, I wouldn’t thought of that...

They fill the pores with epoxy but so how could the resulted material be biodegradable? Serious noobie question
gridder··on Naked shorting: The curious incident of the shares that didn't exist (2005)
I just wanted to point out that naked shorting is very easily hidden. It’s hard to prove and the system is built for allowing shadiness. At this point how can we still give them the benefit of the doubt?

It completely defies the vision and purpose of their company. They should at least change it to Robbing Hood
gridder··on Nasdaq says they will halt trading if a stock has unusual social media chatter
I totally agree with your vision. My proposal was a compromise. Yours is plan A.
gridder··on Nasdaq says they will halt trading if a stock has unusual social media chatter
This is ridiculous. The SEC should add a new rule to the game: no more than 100% of a stock can be shorted. I think it’s fair enough, and it should have been already illegal since a long time. Why the wall street guys can ‘chat’ whenever they want but normal people can’t?
