>"Your upside is that you make the premium + the strike price. You lose out if the share goes up past the strike + premium, but you win if it goes down, or not up enough?"

You still "lose" in the short term if the underlying goes down more than your premium covers. That's the risk you take on writing calls; the underlying can technically go to zero. But so long as it's a decent company with real earnings or growth potential, over time stocks always go back up.

>"If the share price goes above $218.85, you lose out on the difference, but you still get to keep the premium + strike, so you didn't really "lose" anything, you just didn't make as much."

Exactly. Although you technically still "lost", even if you didn't lose money, because you took on the risk of holding the underlying for longer than you collected in premiums (theta value of the option). But this, along with "cash secured puts"[0] is the basis of the "wheel" strategy. It goes like this:

Pick a strong stock you're generally bullish on long term and would be fine with owning -> Sell cash secured puts -> When the underlying drops to the point of your CSP hitting the money, get assigned at a price you wanted to buy it at anyways, keep the premium, and now you own the underlying -> Sell covered calls on the underlying until it rises to the point of being exercised -> Get exercised, keep the profit + premium -> Start over from step one.

>"It seems Interactive Brokers will let me sell a call option without owning the underlying (edit: it seems there's a separate "write option" tool), so I guess if the option owner decides to exercise your broker somehow either just take the shares out of your account or makes you buy some?"

That's a "naked call"; the black tar heroin of options. You can do it, but it's incredibly risky. Stocks can technically go up infinitely, meaning you're taking on infinite risk for a finite return. The GME debacle is a great example of how dangerous that can be for an individual. One huge overnight price movement can completely bankrupt you.

>"How far out do you sell OTM options for?"

It really depends on the underlying. That's why it's so important to follow a stock, and get to know how it trades over a few months before playing options on it. A general rule of thumb is ~%20 OTM on monthlies puts you in the sweet spot of premium/risk though.

Insurance isn't a bet. It's a hedge. The bet is, you're not gonna wreck your car, or burn down your house. The gamble, in your scenario is not getting insurance.
“That's the plan” is a colloquialism – like “that's the idea”, but for goals.
I haven't signed up with Signal because it's a source of surveillance for me. It gives out a phone number.

It also leaks contact lists making it worse.

A communication medium has no need to force people under surveillance. Why not just assume you're an adult dealing with adults and let people choose. Choose their handle, need to opt in to sharing contacts. (Would also be ethical that they're forced to tell each person that they gave away their details.)
I don't think it's fair to ding an early 80s platform for not caring about IBM compatibility. It wasn't anywhere near as dominant a standard then as it is now.

The Amiga couldn't talk to a PC screen with any amount of pin adapters anyway. It used a different frequency, which is seriously aggravating today if you want to fire up an old Amiga for nostalgia's sake.

It could read DOS discs with a driver iirc but the PC definitely couldn't read Amiga discs. It got extra capacity out of them (720k vs 880k) but at a definite cost in compatibility.
I wish telegram had a setting for "Block everyone in my contacts list" Unfortunately it only seems to have the reverse
> I don't know if shepherds are specifically prone to barking

Yes. Shepherds are especially prone to barking. They were trained to be, well, shepherds. This breed is used to guard sheep, not scare them. So they have to be quite and obedient to their owners.

Retrievers are also quite because they were used to retrieve game for a hunter. Those games may be just hurt and barking may scare them away. So the breeders were specifically select quite and obedient dogs to be retrievers.
Indeed. Portugal had a similar system, the kinks are that the subsidies are a bit high, there's a lot of people buying solar panels just to sell the power back to the network. This is because the price per kilowatt uploaded is more expensive than downloaded.
This is great, you get a big installed base with this short-term carrot, and when the subsidies are removed the panels are still in use. Win-win.
Games are developed with a ship it and forget it model. The value of that source code being non public is zero to CDPR.

You can pirate the game without the source code.

Protip: Not all startups are created equal.

Bonus tip: You're probably not as good at evaluating the difference between startups as you think you are.

Look really, really hard at the size of the market you're entering, and the track record of the founders.

For employees, a company that's going to peak at a few million dollars in sales probably won't make you much money based on your equity. Working for people with no track record of success lessens your odds.

You're going to learn a lot, no matter what, but it might not be the lessons you're looking for.
Agreed. I was brainstorming parking app ideas for areas within LA a few months ago and since then I discovered that city governments and 3rd parties actually have information about parking spaces, enforcement, availability and more that they keep track of. The only problem is that it's not all free or even available in the first place.

Really disappointing given how much LA, among other cities, have sunk a lot of money into new meters and such but they offer no way to discover any of that information or to be able to interact (e.g. pay for another hour on your space) via apps on your phone.
From the page footer: The crazy colors should tell you that this is only for the brave.
You mean - when you linked it! I seem to remember writing it myself.
I've got the precompiler working quite well. Interestingly, it translates the redcode/pMARS code line-to-line to Javascript which is then executed to produce the assembly.

redcode is indeed a mess, clearly the result of an evolving and blurry standard :)

anyway, I'm spitting out assembly for 90% of the bots I've tried and have the Imp running. From now on it will indeed be a job of implementing each instructions and addressing modes. I'm definitely uploading this on github in a few hours and will be very happy to have some help ! :)
I think you are confused: you say that "Apple collect[s] data." Apple's software is collecting data, but is it the case that Apple has access to this data? I don't think so. There are issues of agency here: in my interpretation of things, my phone is collecting and storing the data, Apple isn't.

I guess I have some sort of perverse desire to see my karma auger into the x axis thanks to this issue, because people seem to be whiny hysterics on it. Computers log data. A phone is a computer. The history of the phone's location is conceivably useful—it's like a geospatial stack trace—and even if this data is going to the Apple mothership, I don't care as long as the data gets Tivo-ified.
Frankly speaking the idea is pretty funny and yes, I am wondering how to you check if sth happend or not. Btw, the UI looks pretty standard.
I know that, still people have managed to commit their passwords, ssh keys and more to github.
Except it only checks on page load. If you open the page with adblock disabled and then switch it on, it works.
Ring Leader Solutions | Full Stack Developer | REMOTE | Full Time | http://ringleadersolutions.com/

Ring Leader Solutions is a software consultancy focused on delivering excellent bespoke solutions to clients in the finance and energy sectors. We're based in London, but we primarily work remotely. We're a small team right now, looking to expand as we win more projects with our client - the UK's largest purchaser of independent energy generation and leading supplier of renewable energy.

In addition to our bespoke solutions work, we're also working on a regulatory compliance product - aimed at helping organisations in these sectors react to regulation changes more rapidly. If you're from a consultancy background looking for the opportunity to sink your teeth into a product, or vice versa, you could be the person for us!

We typically work with C# or Java on the back end, and we find ourselves increasingly building React and Redux based front ends, but we recognise the futility of forcing a hard language requirement. If you're a passionate technologist who can demonstrate skill, ambition and (perhaps most importantly) an insatiable hunger to learn, we want to hear from you.

They do make many billions profit on software every single quarter. Who cares if the market is not very sexy?

If you think there's only 25 people working on Word, I think you're off by an extremely large margin.
if the founders create the value, why would you give them a chance to leave with discounted future profits before the value is realized in a real (not discounted) profit stream?
You should give a try to http://hnwatcher.com, it's an alerting tool based on the HN Search API. I personally follow the "algolia" keyword -> it helped me get your question mentioning "hn.algolia.com". Enjoy ;)

They’re clearly ever so worried about these anti-trust suits then...
Nothing in the world is a binary choice - reducing the potential solutions into either or does a disservice to attempts to find reasonable resolutions. In fact I'd say nearly nobody on earth wants to trust people to make all of their own decisions because those decisions impact other people. The choice to murder someone is not a choice we'd like to allow people to freely make without consequence.
"Your job satisfaction/pay are a function of your impact. Your impact is a function of your leverage."

I'm skeptical. I mean, sure, for most people, the ability to convince a large number of other people to do things, to do your things, without worrying how they do it, is going to have more impact than any other contribution they could make.

On the other hand, Van Jacobson's algorithm is like four lines of code (I used to know where it is in *TCP/IP Illustrated, Vol II.) and is responsible for the Internet as we know it. That's an awful lot of impact.
I have started to migrate from WhatsApp to iMessage with Apple and Signal with Android users. At least not a single silo...
The only examples of this that I know of are literal holocaust deniers. I have never seen a professor with an argument that can be backed up with any amount of facts be disciplined.

people have different thoughts! some people want an ethnostate for white people and some people dont! we just disagree. too bad that censorship caused all this to happen!
Sorry, just tested it myself and it seems like the link does not go to the correct https site. The full URL would be https://www.buschermoehle.org/andreas/irma.htm

Might also just be that the web-server is not handling the traffic well. Some refresh's work, others fail to load the javascript.
Are websites in browsers allowed to open sockets for incoming connections now? Surely every browser has that disabled by default?
Not forgetting cache, and the fact that slower response times aren't horrendous in the scheme of things.
It's funny how things can turn around so completely. Around the time of the Deathstar fiasco, you couldn't pay me to use a Hitachi. Seagate was the brand to buy. Now it's the complete opposite.
I wonder if a cone of tinfoil (handily available at Tesco) would work, shielding key and lock during unlock? Or are the receivers elsewhere in the car?
Bootstrap. None of this has any impact on you if you bootstrap your company, and run it profitably, with the intent to keep running it profitably.
While somewhat attached to the name, I think this is a good decision on the part of the higher-ups at the Recurse Center (formerly Hacker School).

The new name makes it far more accesible to people outside of the community.

P.S. I love the recursive link up top.
I've been looking at Riak for a new project and this whole FoundationDB thing gives me pause. Yeah, Riak is mostly open source, but if the whole team were bought up and put into isolation, how long would it be before the community could really run with the code that was left?
Curious why VLC/screenshot doesn't work on Mac?
So freedom, open society or democracy wont work in China because... Chinese people are inherently alcoholic, corrupt and sexually abusive to their employees?
Why doesn't legal have to fight the same fights? Their domain seems similar: Legal problems take years to surface, and when they blow up, they explode spectacular. Implementing procedures involving legal is a huge drain of time, motivation and opportunities. Yet, in many companies the power dynamics is inverted: Anything non-trivial has to go through legal and is blocked by default. Why don't new deployments have to go through security?
Exactly. The ads themselves are always about the grandparent-grandchildren relationship
Anecdotally, can you remember the last time a big (any?) company got nailed for false advertising? I remember reading marketing material my old company would send out and I knew the application didn't do $the_thing they said it did.
_Technically_ 1GB is the limit, but yeah, at 1GB I was hitting OOM errors every day or so (this was on the Pi 3 B+). I was very happy when I found out the Pi 4 had 2 or 4GB models! No matter what, you should also make sure to not schedule Pods on the master node(s) when you have limited memory (or in most cases, really...).
Swing can look fantastic if you put in the effort as IntelliJ (based on Swing) shows. I'm not necessarily an IDE guy, but good luck with getting that kind of functionality with JS on Electron even remotely.
High error rate?! I said precisely moving several complex muscles to vocalize a concept that requires simulating not only how I perceive it but how both the directed receiver and other listeners will as well while focusing my eyes rapidly on an area the size of a quarter.
Thank you very much.

When you create an account there is a page called domains, it provides instructions on how to add the correct MX record to your custom domain in order to allow the server to handle inbound emails.
Maybe. The problem with a lot of stuff like that is that it's really hard to release information anonymously. The nature of the information is such that not many people would have had access to it, so for the assassins, the number of suspects is very low, and it's not that hard for them to figure out who did it.
Just using modules names as prefixes everywhere instead of importing individual symbols works when modules have short names. Which in turn requires that the modules should be relatively fat so relatively few of those should exist allowing for short and descriptive names.

But in a language like JS where the module cannot span multiple files one quickly runs out of good short names. Then importing individual symbols or at least aliasing the module becomes a necessity.
anecdote time: When I was working at Thomson Reuters marketing did some sort of outreach thing to the accountant community, and they had a bunch of accountants in to some sort of social gathering and the marketing person was up talking about how they were going to do social stuff for the accountants, etc. etc.

And finally one accountant spoke up and asked (I paraphrase): You do realize we didn't become accountants because we like people?

When I heard about it, it made me think, you know, programmers sure are a lot like accountants.

Theory time: Perhaps my high karma is derived from all the other geeks realizing intrinsically I hate social networks as much as they do, so they upvote me in solidarity.

Thank you for your time!
I consider the heating as warm the air in winter before blowing it on me (while filtering) not warm the room
Eventual consistency happens when you allow your write transaction to finish, before the data has been spread across all masters. It allows you to have fast writes, but it's actually cheating (in my opinion), because only one master (the nearest) has seen your write, while the others don't know about it yet.

If you want to have a strong consistent multi-region database (or other form of storage), then you have to deal with slow writes, because your transaction is only allowed to terminate successfully when all masters have written the new data and are in a synchronous state.

I very much prefer slow strong consistent writes instead of fast eventual consistent writes.
Google and Facebook are a lot different than Old Internet companies. I don’t recall AltaVista going out of its way to influence politics.
Those systems should migrate to AMD instead. Intel doesn't belong in high performance workstations anymore.
> Google last week launched a platform in Australia offering news it has paid for, striking its own content deals with publishers in a drive to show the proposed legislation is unnecessary.

Doesn't that exactly demonstrate that the legistlation is necessary? Would Google had struck such deals without the threat of the legistlation?
Haskell programmers have delved the deepest and furthest in the mines of a certain kind of Truth. Decades under the earth gives them strange language and strange ideas - the monoid, applicators, all sorts of things.

You can follow them to their deep dark places - but they have travelled far, and finding them in their tunnels is a journey of many moons. To the Haskell programmer, us surface dwellers are all confused - missing the essential True Names of programming. Don’t despair - you can travel where you will; but know that discovering the hidden truths will humble and age the best of us. Why? I know not. Perhaps realising we’re small and stupid is the cost of staring into the abyss of Math.
The real reason news publishers hate Google News is it makes clear that 99% of what they publish is just copied from someone else. They don't want you to view lots of news sites, they want you to go to their home page and read the copy they made.
The conventional wisdom is usually right. That's how it got to be the conventional wisdom.
I started to use historio.us a few weeks ago when mentioned on here and since then I've upgraded to the paid version. It really is simple to use and its really useful. To be honest I've not used any others, but for someone who used to drag and drop useful sites to my desktop this has been great.
So it did work finally! After trying for about 10-15 mins I finally got signed up. Got the invoice & activation late but I got the $100 credit! I guess they didn't expect such a mad rush for the linodes. ;)
Older versions of Dropbox had to re-sync the entire file if a TrueCrypt volume changed. The newer version can sync only the changes... at least, my 500 MB volume now syncs very quickly.

Are you UI/UX guru? Interested in Indian market?

Hi,
I have a few simple web-service ideas for Indian market. Most of these ideas are lifestyle businesses, with the eventual goal of making content websites that capture long tail google searches specific to Indian context. Some of the ideas I am working on are:

1)	A Q&A site that will compete with Quora
2)	A content farm that will compete with Times of India.
3)	A content farm to answer “middle tail” search question like “Best Schools in Hyderabad” or “How many homes were sold in Bangalore in last one month”
4)	A website to track (deregulated) petrol prices, provide analysis and update its users accordingly.
5)	A mobile app to make home buying decisions based on commute score (similar to walkscore)
6) A job search engine based on "commute" agony.

I am looking for someone who would like to implement these ideas along with me. You should have the following skills:

1)	Expert Front end Skills (HTML/CSS/JS) and be a UI/UX guru.
2)	Backend skills (Expert preferred, Intermediate Ok).

About me: I am a software engineer in a semiconductor company with 10+ years experience. I have intermediate knowledge in Frontend and Backend technologies. I can write code in Python/PHP/C/C++. If interested, please contact me at

Redoing the same code feature does not lead to exactly the same machine code
There's only a few key moments where players need to be unpredictable to win a game. Almost all the rest of the time they are executing predictable consequences of those unpredictable choices.

ie: imagine a player running to a ledge spanning a gap. The "naive" interpolation would be they continue running and fall off the ledge and die. A smarter system would realize that almost all the times they've run to the edge of a ledge, they've jumped and the AI could jump for you and then later confirm that prediction was correct. They could even jump at the median of all of your previous jumping choices and then lerp your position over time so you land at the correct point based on your actual jump.
> I see people expressing their concern about seeing their boss using the app, etc. and I just cannot relate.

Here's a situation I ran into: I have a stalker ex with whom I went no-contact ages ago. Years have gone by, I've been lucky enough to not hear from them in a while, it finally seems like the nightmare is over. They forgot about me and moved on to other things.

Then, they sign up for Signal. The app, for no discernable reason, sends them a message informing them that I'm also using it. Now I'm back in their head. I blocked their number on Signal, but I'm seeing "X viewed your profile" messages on LinkedIn, so it looks like the stalking frenzy might start again, all because Signal wants to be Whatsapp.

Why? It's one thing to let any signal user message me, it's another to actively remind people that I'm still around and reachable using it. SMS does not do this.
Many TV already allow this, either via Chromecast or AirPlay. Personally I hate using my phone as a remote, but many TV supports it. Given that this doesn’t work without networking, the inclusion of these features, might be a trick to get people to allow teir TVs to get on a network.

For me one of the major down fall of smart TVs is that even with out the privacy invasion they all just SUCK. The interfaces are terrible, the hardware isn’t nearly fast enough, they just all feel slughish, you can’t expect software updates for more than a few years and you can’t be sure that you prefered streaming service is available if you not in a major market.

It’s actually a surprise that not one TV manufacturer has admitted that they aren’t in fact able to produce a quality smart TV.

Maybe it’s just me, but I use the AppleTV as the benchmark for what you need to deliver as a minimum. Anything less is a bad experience. Remember the AppleTV is still just a minor product for Apple, and companies who try to sell a similar, more integrated product, can’t do better? Why?
