Ask HN: Would you be interested in being provided daily option plan entries
I currently utilize a system to trade for myself. It has impressive returns and is fairly simple to enter plans.

With a developer skill set you would be able to enter the trades automatically and sell whenever you decide. Generally at 100% you want to take profits and keep a contract or two extra to catch the run.

The system I use provides entry points similar to this:

[PLAN] If BIDU breaks over 264.25 the Jun 15 210.00 Calls can be used. [ 600k on a 3minute chart is required.]

In the above case an API call can be written with your brokerage, i.e. Interactive Brokers, to monitor the 3 minute volume, and if it hits 600k while crossing 264.25 purchase, otherwise, wait for the price to increase 25-50 cents to enter.

Another entry would be:

[PLAN] If BIDU breaks over 264.25 the Jun 15 210.00 Calls can be used. [ Break over 264.25 ]

If the stock price goes over 264.25 buy the calls.

Would people be interested in a system which provides plans but doesn't get you into them automatically. I currently provide consulting privately however the people are at work and miss many trades, which lowers the effectiveness of the strategy.
Is this a regular thing? I've never seen a highlight post by YC before.

The facility in Long Beach is the BFR factory. The BFR diameter is too big to move via road or rail, it can only be moved by barge or cargo ship.
That’s literally true, but on balance it’s way easier to use curl for GET requests to a REST API than it is to use curl for GraphQL queries. At least if we’re talking about “let me curl that route real quick to see what the data looks like”.
The quality of life, if you will, varies enormously in psychiatric hospitals. It may be extremely conducive to treatment and recovery in one and just this side of Bedlam in another.

source: Personal experience helping member of wife's family who was hospitalized for disabling chronic refractory depression and intense suicidal ideation. This was about two years ago.

One institution (in San Mateo County) was great, the other (in Santa Clara County) was awful. She was very lucky in being transferred to the better facility after two days in the awful one.

It's not clear she'd have survived a more extended stay at the first. Slightly over a week in the second helped her enough to go back home and live safely.
If it is matter of vote, I'd vote for Ok --> Cancel most of the time.

My justification for this is to avoid accidentally going for Ok when what you want is Cancel...but this happens to be biased against left-handed people!
I wish they would tell the story further, including how the man in taupe blazer would deliver the project and whether it would be a success or not, and what would happen past delivery.
Ask HN: Preparing for a FANG interview with no CS background
A recruiter for a FANG company recently reached out. I figured I'll give it a go since the worst they can say is no, now the ball is in my court to schedule the interview.

I need to brush up on CS fundamentals, except that I didn't study CS so I need to come up to speed fast. I have the Algorithm Design manual and I started reading it today. It's a great book I'm finding it dense since I have no CS background (I took one class that included sorting/searching arrays, so I understand O(n) notation, I know my way around the simpler recursion problems and that's about it).

There's tons of good resources on the web that I haven't started looking into, I'm hoping HN users can point me to something that's accessible for someone with industry experience but no CS background.
The Groupthink and Normalization of Deviance that all of this is okay got broken out off - there will be more I'd say.

I don't believe you. No offense, but it's easier to learn that the Earth is flat, or that a place called 'Australia' exists, or that reality is entirely a consensus affair and that strenuous wishing can change it, than it is to learn that Uber is easy to contact. Some lies people don't bother spreading.

Just look: https://duckduckgo.com/?q=complain+to+uber

Or look at this article about Uber deliberately hiding a contact number "to test discoverability" (meaning: if users find it too easily, it should be made harder to find) https://www.theverge.com/2016/3/10/11196352/uber-secret-emer...

If you lucked out and found that your specific issue had a UI entry in the app, that's not the same thing as being able to explain a situation to a human and have that human do the (paid, drudge) work of wading through obscure interfaces to find the button that fixes a given problem.
Oh, you will regret it. That’s like saying “Try heroin! You’ll absolutely love it.” Not technically wrong...

No one in their right mind would ever choose to implement GraphQL rather than a REST api. The complexity difference is just too great. Maybe have your primary API as REST then as some kind of janky caching thing use GraphQL.

The only experience I have had calling GraphQL came from github and it was not great. The API was responsive but when I was trying to figure out syntax I was longing for a much clearer REST end point that would give me the data I was after.

I have called a suicide hotline. They determined that I was a danger to myself. The police came to my house and took me to a crisis center where I was held against my will for seventy-two hours where other unsupervised, unmedicated residents of a facility for observation before being released.

If I am ever suicidal again I'll just skip the suicide hotline. They were no help, and those seventy-two hours were the worst of my life.

They lease the launch pads, e.g. 39a has a 20 year lease. They can probably do a lot of spacey things on there for the duration.

edit: looking at the article map, this is patch of farmland a bit further away from the launch pad, so they probably acquired it for development.

I agree. I fully support chatbots for getting you to the right person or handling simple issues. There seem to be a lot fewer accidental hangups when using a chatbot.
My friend used to use this argument when I complained that Uber / Deliveroo were a bag of crap. I didn´t have a great counterargument, I just mumbled something about workers rights.

What is a convincing argument that this line of thinking is wrong?
> not a great thing to do on a high-traffic website on the day of a high-profile suicide.

It's the only time people seem willing to discuss suicide. A week from now everyone will have forgotten that suicide is a real epidemic. I'd rather see people discuss real solutions instead be of endlessly repeating the same pointless things.
I agree that there are aspects of the Tesla safety record which have caveats, but even when I take those caveats into account, I still come out thinking of the Tesla as being relatively safe. The same feature which adds danger at every update is one that also has the potential to add safety at every update. Eventually for example, that same update feature is expected to bring the car to the point of being superhuman in its ability to drive safely. The inability to rely on the autopilot means that I'm still responsible for my own safety, so the autopilot safety isn't as important as the car's safety in general.

I disagree that their communication is only reflective of them covering their ass. I feel their is the expectation that self-driving is going to prevent more deaths than it causes. Especially as the technology improves, but even to an extent now if only through the virtue of it not being a system people should be using without being ready to intervene.

Don't get me wrong here, you raise good points. I just don't think it's a case of blatant evil.

Also, if you have the link to the math, I'd love to read it.

My 100 year old theory is better then your 100 theory. Even if it has no support form most people who have spent their whole lives studying it.
Eh. Probably none.
Why do you trust it? You got into a car on an arranged deal and the driver immediately wants to back out of it--this is already a shady situation. Why do you think he'll drive you anywhere after he gets the $10? Why do you think he won't charge you for the trip on top of the $10 after alerting Uber to their own GPS records that show your phone and his car taking you to the destination you said you wanted to go to?
I am far from a rocket launch expert, but having been to the general area, I think there is nowhere near enough empty space anywhere in Long Beach to safely build a launch facility.

Also the US has a pretty firm policy of never launching anything over land. There is no such thing as an eastbound launch from Vandenberg, for example.
I finished top 25 in kaggle using NLTK and sklearn. word2vec is thrown around like the gospel in NLP, but simple techniques usually do a lot better because: #1 there isnt that much data in most cases and most importantly #2 the corpus differs substantially than the one word2vec was fit on. I am really flabbergasted by how many people start with word2vec and LSTM and come up with really over-fit models and they never even tried the simple things.

using ngrams (1 and 2 on words, and 3-5 characters with truncated SVD) gets you really far.
As someone who taught at a bootcamp (not at GA)... It may be a good way to learn how to get things done, but you will still need to be very resourceful and persistent to land a job.

I would take a hard look at whatever promises GA makes about job placement, with the caveat that these statistics are still just marketing material. IMO blogging, going to meetups and networking may prove necessary even with a bootcamp
OK then cancel makes sense because 'OK" is the first, and therefore default option

Cancel then OK makes sense as 'OK' is then in the bottom right corner, same place as the 'next' in a wizard GUI. But call it 'Continue' or something, whatever you're saying OK to.

> However, my mind was changed by the idea that if killing people is easy, and there is little risk to the operators of the equipment, it will be done all the more. Countries will go to war much less overall, if there are higher stakes. I like there being high stakes.

Modern warfare is not conducted like this. Killing is already easy but that’s not how wars are won. The trend of warfare since WWII is on precision targeting. Take a look at munitions technology and systems from then to today. The US military wants to minimize casualties and collateral damage while acheiving mission objectives.

Spacemacs feels very abstracted. It’s great to have so much work done for you, but the knowledge is not transferable. Unless you develop layers yourself and can understand the internals, be difficult to use your knowledge outside of spacemacs.

I’ve looked at the module abstracts in doom and they don’t look foreign. They do look way above my level of emacs lisp tough.

There’s also the evil stuff in spacemacs which is great and I grew fond of, but if you’re not familiar with emacs’ native bindings, it makes it impossible to use vanilla emacs when you have too.
I guess if it can fly into space then it's just a matter of math to bring it back down where you want it.

I started reading with a lot of interest, but this line caused me to close the window:

> In some cases, calling 911 may be the best option.

It seems so tone-deaf. More accurate is:

> In cases where life is at stake, consider calling 911, but if you do, know that police will likely respond first and may not be trained to deal with a mental health crisis. In some cases, people have been brutalized or even killed after seeking help from poorly trained law enforcement.
> Another distraction. They don't matter as long as coal is being burned.

Sure, let's kill off basically the only way to get things and people across the world. I'm sure that'll end up lovely.
I will certainly gets dozens of downvotes for obvious fanboyism, but I'm prepared to take the heat.

For the doubters and the disbelievers that have been wondering what is the relevance of IBM in this day an age: this. This is what IBM is all about.

And it's not just about PFLOPS; each node has 1/2 terabyte of memory, globally addressable across the entire cluster using RDMA over Mellannox 200Gb/s EDR.

It's also P9: 44 cores per node; but most importantly each node drives a couple of V100 through NVlinks, which allows the GPU to share the system's main memory.
I never until this moment even thought he said "this."

But it totally jibes with the article. It may not be a beautiful day in the neighborhood where the child is watching, but it's a beautiful day in this neighborhood.

Fascinating!
I think they are a great idea if you are trying to expand your role in a company, for a job that you already have.

But most companies are really looking for the Masters or PhD.

However, I know of 2 people who were "self-taught" and able to land Data Science jobs, with Bootcamp style credentials. I'm not sure how many jobs they applied for before getting hired, but I got the sense it took 4 to 5 months.
Interesting! But, those types of tourists don't seem to overlap with AirBnB-type tourists, against whom the upthread complaints & proposals are directed.

So while I'm interested to hear of those cases, this "they don't spend" concern still seems out-of-place if directed against AirBnBers.
Probably partially chosen due to the proximity to Vandenberg Air Force Base. Just a barge journey away from take off and landing zones.
The comment was about academic researchers being encouraged to publish, not MSR researchers. People who work for MSR are Microsoft employees and therefore are corporate researchers not academic researchers.

It's always been "this". I remember as a child how it seemed jarring.
Yes. There is a subset of patients with depression who have either of two different genetic polymorphisms for methyeneltetrahydrofolate reductase. This may be causally linked to their depression. [1]

Supplementing diet with a modified form of folate appears to diminish depression in patients with these particular polymorphisms.

My understanding is that this is still a matter of controversy.

[1] https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1810582/
OK, so enduring (which includes constant/unwavering?) and untreatable. I haven't been able to find how many sufferers of depression that includes.

If it's close to or actually zero, then maybe it's a strawman.
A French accent , for example, would probably gather more respect, London can be quite a pretentious place at times. (Hell even I would say that the average French person probably knows a lot more about wine than the average Brit).
The thing that stands out to me here is that Tesla has wasted a ton of time and money building up competency in commodity features. No consumer considers Tesla Seats to be the differentiating factor. Why on earth didn't Tesla just decide to use a more conventional seat design and outsource the work to a Seat supplier like all other car manufacturers. Kind of reminds me of Software Engineers that always want to roll their own implementation of everything... They get less done and are overconfident in their own abilities.
Considering they drew parallels with strike breakers, I don't think that was the point.

Many Americans are stuck with dead-end low-wage low/no-benefit part-time jobs (plural) trying to make ends meet - the weak job market offers few alternatives, while the gig economy (ubiquitous temp workers) stands as an implicit threat against workers organizing.
there are few jobs or opportunities in cheap places, its not like everyone lives in large cities because they are unwilling to entertain alternatives.
Further, the legal theory behind warrant-less mass surveillance is that you aren't being watched over until a human opens up your documents.
My expectations from Gizmodo are low, but this is a relatively low content article. Here's some tropes that are in use:

"Let’s just get the obvious stuff out of the way and acknowledge that multi-billion-dollar companies don’t have fundamental values outside of doing what best benefits their shareholders."

Not all companies are driven to extract every cent out of their users. Nothing requires companies to ignore ethical motives in their actions. Nothing.

"One reason Apple has been relatively good over the years is that it’s a smart company that has stayed in its lane. Another reason is that since the release of the iPhone, it has been rolling in cash. When you’re an embattled company like Facebook or Uber—just trying to kill all your competition in a newly emerging sector"

Facebook is only recently "embattled." And they roll in cash as well, obviously not to the degree Apple does, but the company isn't searching the seat cushions on the sofa for operating funds. And complaining that Apple is "good" because of its financial success is silly. You don't have to operate like Theranos or Uber to be successful. And the converse is true as well.

"To be clear, we have no certainty of what Apple’s grand plan is, and in its usual fashion, it’s not telling us."

Can't imagine why Apple PR isn't phoning Gizmodo and keeping them up to date with their competitive plans and strategies.

"Generally, more competition is welcome. If Apple is giving Facebook and Google headaches, we say that’s great."

Wait, is Apple good/bad/chaotic neutral? Or are you trying to straddle the fence to generate clicks?

The entire article boils down to "Apple might be coming out with a new version of iAds, that might affect FB/Google." No meat on the bones...

There's an episode of econtalk with Elizabeth Anderson you should listen to. She basically says employers are similar to communist dictatorships. In the same way that the 'freedom' to move from one communist dictatorship to another isn't real freedom, the 'freedom' to move from one employer to another isn't real freedom. Check it out, she makes the argument better than I do, obviously.

I think that a lot of the thinking behind putting the action to the right is to have Cancel be sort of the default option (the keyboard'd still default to the action) as a way of avoiding user automatically doing actions they regret (and with the presumption that cancelling won't make them lose any work).

Of course, once they get used to that, it still becomes automatic
