Been to many countries like UAE, Saudi, and finally Germany.
I can tell that the joy is immense. Most druze and alawite are not too happy and fearing, mainly because of the feare built into them throughtout the war years.
Incertanitiy is very big, but the joy of seeing a north-korean-like system collapse in few days is unimaginable.
I have seen too many nk documentaries, I can say that it applies 100% to Syria, with many many more complexities in the region.

> 2018. And even that I wouldn't call hostile. Just annoying. And it can be worked around.
How please?

I do wonder why light mode is the default though, since historically computers had bright characters on black screens, and this is supposed to be "hacker news". It wasn't until the 90s when white backgrounds became normalized. Even though many users may not be old enough to remember the days of using MS-DOS, "dark mode" is generally quite popular among techies. I really wonder what a poll would show here.
If you short a stock at 100, and it reaches 10, you pay back at 10 and get to keep the remaining 90.
If, however, that stock reaches 300, you have to pay the extra 200 from your pocket.
So shorting is much bigger risk than investing directly in stocks.
