Don't forget that you have to be sure the government has the perfect knowledge to price things correctly even it's otherwise a good government. This is actually the main reason that centralized planning is frowned upon by capitalists. Without competition to drive price discovery, the market ends up being super inefficient and people end up under-served or output resources don't collect enough input resources to sustain themselves.

Not in a democracy. The point of a government in a democracy is to serve the current will of the people. The government itself might last many generations, but its goals and motivations change with every election cycle.

This site is just doing something silly dynamically for something that should be static (e.g. reading from a database). A single modern computer can easily handle the HN hug of death serving static files.

Humans are not dogs. I've worked at companies with both styles of on-boarding (two weeks of doing nothing vs jumping right in). The output in a month was realistically no different.

Compare this to a secret password, if someone hijacks the SSH connection and you accept the host key (which everyone says yes to on the first connection), you give away your password which can then be used by an attacker to get access to the real server.

This is another case where the gas tax isn't really adequate for funding road issues due to the disproportional increase in costs to the increase in fuel usage by trucks. All of the light vehicle drivers subsidize the heavy trucks in all mileage/fuel based tax schemes.

If only those mandatory liberal arts classes taught things as useful as communicating and writing...

Walmart has competitors in every market I've seen. Small towns seem to be more likely to have chain dollar stores than a Walmart.

In my small city of 50k, Walmart doesn't exclusively cover any category other than maybe toys. There are other grocery stores, other automotive stores, other clothes stores, jewelry, drugs, blah blah. You go to Walmart because it's cheap, not because it's the only option.

No, you assume the network can be compromised like any other device in the system. You still defend the network and add in layers of access control. Employees of Google still use VPNs to connect into sensitive networks.

With the prevalence of 0-days and demonstration of usage by nation-state actors, you have to have multiple layers of defense to try to have any reasonable chance of preventing a compromise.

Those poor dim-witted drivers. Seriously though, it only take a couple of seconds of Googling to calculate the depreciation of a vehicle. "Financial modelling" is a pretty grandiose word for "subtract $0.50 for every mile you drive".

Don't assume everyone who takes a lower-paying job is stupid.

You could even cash advance on a credit card, buy a car, and wreck it and be in the same financial situation as you would if you gambled it away on robinhood.

The rapid consumption RH has of younger retail market seems to imply the answer is firmly "no". The backend of sending orders to exchanges without caring much about latency is surely simple, but the UI and UX clearly had plenty of room for improvement.

None of these instruments can ruin a 20 year old for life. Worst case is 7 years of trashed credit from a bankruptcy.

tl;dr you're not getting screwed by Robinhood selling your order flow, you're getting a benefit.

Not really. The consequences in some places are just so severe that it might be one of the last things you say.

Where does this conclusion come from that rationality is so weak and our tolerant views are on such shaky ground that we have to prevent people from expressing intolerance?

Hate speech isn't well-defined though. It seems to just be a du jour list of things that upset people too much. What about a picture of a famous slave ship?
