Market going up when the economy is going down IS a problem because when it crashes it will amplify the problem ten fold.
Do you have any data to back up that assertion?

Sometimes I casually flash my B-Unit around or pretend to check the time on it just to let everyone know I have a subscription. Other times I will go out of my way to send emails from the terminal just so others get a glance at my @bloomberg.net email address. I also have people send me stuff to the email if it's someone I haven't met before. The Bloomberg Terminal is well worth it for these two perks. It's much bett…

This is incorrect, and it's precisely for this sort of situation that the LGPL exists. https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#IfLibraryIsGPL The problem for the author in this case is that a) writing their code against a GPL'd library constitutes creating a derivative work, and b) putting it on GitHub is distribution.
The page you linked contradicts you: > the terms of the GPL apply to the entire combination . The software modules that link with the library may be under various GPL compatible licenses , but the work as a whole must be licensed under the GPL. The application is a ‘software module’ licensed under the MIT license (a ‘GPL compatible license’). When you link that application against the GPL'd library, the resultant ‘wo…

interesting: given that it may at any time hit that line of GPL'd code, your claim is that the rest of the code can be MIT licensed? i am not a lawyer but that sure seems like a borderline case at best.
The author can licence their source code however they want. The GPL doesn’t relicense other code either, it’s that the GPL asks you to additionally follow its terms for the whole resulting compiled distribution

I realise this is a joke but there are economic reasons to expect stocks to go up in real terms on average in the long term. Investing in the long term is not a zero sum game.
That used to be case when you had to clear certain hurdles to IPO and stay listed. With the recent SPAC craze you no longer have to meet any of those. All you need is a credible narrative. In that environment, no, you shouldn’t expect stocks to have positive returns. Long-term positive return in stocks is purely a function of required rate of _cash_ return. But if an underlying business is never meant to ever distrib…
You shouldn’t expect EVERY stock to have positive returns. Unless the bad stocks to which you're referring become a considerable part of the market, you should still expect stocks, on average, to earn you real interest.

#197Should probably rewrite it in rust, to solve the markets memory leaks, otherwise everything will keep going up.
I know you are joking. But asides from the securities offered by the typing system and borrow checker, Rust (and Go; and maybe others to some extend) have going for them is that the compiled binary is "OOTB". I'm on ubuntu, and it seems all python tooling is there to start running Gamestonks Terminal. But more often then not, getting a Python, Nodejs or Ruby project running requires a lot of fiddling, insider-informa…

#198on a serious note, koyfin is really very nice and does a better job than Bloomberg, at least for equities
but does it have data about options?
Re: Show HN: Can’t afford Bloomberg Terminal? No prob, I built the next best thing
#199What's that old saying ? "Reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated". First up, people who call Bloomberg Terminal a "$25k/year chat terminal" are utterly clueless and have evidently never seen or used a Bloomberg Terminal. The main reason Bloomberg costs so much is because unlike their competitors, Bloomberg have a "one-size-fits-all" price. You get all the data (except live data that is subject to exchange…

I honestly can't tell if this is a parody or not
Parody. If you have a Bloomberg terminal then probably many of the people you interact with at work also have Bloomberg subscriptions. Imagine some tech worker in Silicon Valley trying to flex some employer-provided top-of-the-range MacBook. The price isn’t the same but the idea that it won’t impress the in-group is.
The SV equivalent is the corporate badge casually clipped to the belt while having lunch/coffee/drinks/dinner.
