bozoUser commented on Show HN: IPOs.fyi – Missing Out on IPOs Was Frustrating, So I Fixed It ipos.fyi... · Posted by u/jkaykin
My brokerage (Fidelity) does this for free. But the problem is not knowing about the IPO, it's getting an allocation. As a retail investor, it would seem my position size is not big enough to get any shares. I know this varies by brokerage, so this may or may not be typical of others.
If you could pool together retail investors to increase the possibility of getting shares allocated, that would be something special...
Is the advantage of getting an allocation purely that the said investor buys the said stock at the price that is agreed upon in the price range of the filings with NASDAQ/NYSE ?
Also are these investors usually the HNW individuals who typically invest Millions thru the investment banking firms that are underwriting the said IPO, so win/win for the HNW and the banking firm in the way that it can guarantee the IPO'ing company that it can confidently underwrite and is also using the HNWs money to cover most of the risk ?
Please correct me if I am wrong in understanding this complex process.
I hope this California bill[0] soon gets enacted into law, that would give extra protection to the residents against selling a customers data without written consent. Written consent is big here!!

> Two unnamed executive are included in the complaint that had roles above Baugh.
eBay just released a statement[0] which alludes to both the Chief Communications Officer and the CEO (!) having been involved.
edit: Another article[1] provides more details, including that "an eBay executive told Baugh that he wanted to 'crush' those responsible for the newsletter while another executive told Baugh to 'take her down.'" One of these must be the "inappropriate communications" by the CEO, Devin Wenig, mentioned in eBay's statement.
edit 2: Still more details in another[2] article, including quotes from communications between "Executive 1" and "Executive 2."

Since this is the top comment, you may also want to edit that Devin Wenig is the former CEO[0]

Actors, in of themselves, are pretty lightweight. The bigger challenge is figuring out how many threads you want to configure to back them.
Also, consider that while message passing as an architecture can lend itself to well-structured applications, it's not a panacea against issues like deadlock & livelock.
It also sounds like you may need some kind of distributed fabric for that kind of system and again, while Akka provides an elegant toolset, you still have to contend with network resiliency issues.
TBH, I have found biggest challenge in constructing these architectures is coordinating their completion or shutdown. You can up with thread leaks that will only show up through extensive testing or experience.
If there`s state associated with Akka actors, to shut them down in a proper manner and not lose state you have to use Akka persistence which just means doubling down on Akka ecosystem.
I don't particularly care about high throughput streaming architecture. The actor model as a concept, its concurrency, and how that models the business domain is more along the lines of what I'm interested in. Same as what intrigues me about Elixir as well, but I need hundreds of thousands of actors that can react to events that require numerical computing.
why not use Futures ?
Scala is a language I find interesting. Between Spark, Akka, and all of the FP, it seems like it has most of the boxes I’d want. I have read mixed things about the language though, specifically with respect to its future viability and development. Is Scala worth learning in 2020?
Are there other languages with a well developed actor model that is also performant with numerical computing? That seems like a deal breaker with respect to a language like Elixir.
Scala is amazing if you want to use it for light weight server programming and want to use functional constructs along the way.
If somehow you are convinced to use Akka because of high throughput streaming architecture, please just take a step back and make sure you understand what you are getting into!

Now let that sink in :(
