Vox Nihili posted:A couple hedge firms have absolutely lost their battle here. Based on the size of some of the buys going on, "capital" more broadly is playing both sides of the table, as always. yeah this isn’t one weird trick to change the world or anything, I imagine other targets like AMC et al are factored in for smart money now or very soon. it’s still awesome because it did several cool things - showed the disconnect between economic contribution and market value, showed the predatory nature of non-investor players, showed the impact that small retail investors can have, and was holy gently caress hilarious.

soup. posted:Here, "factoring it in" means buying the underlying stock to cover a naked short. Guess what that does to the price? I know but let’s not get carried away thinking some significant amount of the market exists in short positions on AMC and tootsie rolls. big picture this is nothing, but the HFT systems and people who run large desks have probably noticed was my point.

Epic High Five posted:Owner, yelling at top of their voice from the back office after cracking the door open: "LOOK, I'M WILLING TO RISK IT TOO, IT'S NO BIG DEAL" restaurant margins are stupid slim. but so what, raise prices. like your lovely egg sandwich knockoff goes from 7.65 to 8.99. people will still pay it. I work in hospitality tech and the race to the bottom mentally is a terrible loving blight, particularly since 50%+ of restaurants are serving the same Sysco garbage. I sometimes point people to this post (not that I agree with her viewpoints or ideas in all cases) because most restaurants operate at a 5-7% margin. what they fail to realize is that’s their own fault in many ways and racing to cut prices is a stupid baby fools game that hurts everyone. https://joelleparenteau.medium.com/why-are-restaurants-so-hosed-ca07c4624745

Forseti posted:I think people are confusing "can do the same thing as a skilled human" with "can fake it well enough that an executive can make a shitload of money and escape before it falls apart". Yeah it's this, I guess I'm a 'white-collar' worker in that I manage and create creative projects (video, print, illustration, content) but I have no doubt at all that once some bright-eye creates an algo that can do creative 'good enough' it's over. Will it be good? No. Will it be 'good enough'? Undoubtedly, since most executives don't really give a poo poo anyway.

It's honestly infuriating that some cooking/gaming/hobby YouTubers/TikTok content people have more nuanced and better researched takes on topics related to labor law, fiscal policy, election rights, etc. etc. Like wtf. This person does woodworking videos and just made a totally coherent and cogent argument for universal basic income, and our mainstream media is like "Hey yeah but what about that cat video - now let's tune into Obama talking to people in Wisconsin WHOOOOO!"
