I'm not employing a specific strategy. A better wording would be discovering covered calls. I already own the shares so the downside risk is inherent. Betting against upside is great in these volatile markets, and given enough capital for the stock, I can buy 100 more if I get close to break-even price on the upside. For the last two weeks I sold calls for TQQQ.
The new CEO continues to impress. When he took over, Kalanick had Uber in something like a hundred side-businesses, a massive waste of focus, effort, brand and capital. This isn't the first or will be the last black hole side venture Dara is getting Uber out of. And he's already established his 100x better at PR and building/protecting the brand than Travis was.

Uber never needed to be in the automated trucks business, there are zero synergies with their core business, and it's not even clear that will ever be a good business to be in. Is Uber Eats next on the chopping block? That would probably be my choice.

QE is not something municipal governments can do, so it is irrelevant to this discussion. Since you brought it up, it is worth mentioning that QE actually contributed to the pension shortfall because pension funds suffer when interest rates are low.
Let me try Functor: You have a structure of values of some type. You want to apply a function to these values inside the structure, but you don't know how to do that. Luckily the structure itself does, so you just give your function to the structure and it applies it to its values for you. Structures that know how to apply functions to its values are called Functors.
"Thanks to Elon Musk"? Seriously? This is exactly the type of Musk-worship that makes people angry.

Elon Musk has hardly anything to do with Iridium NEXT. SpaceX launched the satellites, but that's it. If it wasn't SpaceX, it would've been any other launch provider (just like how China, Russia, and McDonnell Douglas provided 23 Iridium launches, compared to SpaceX's 8 Iridium NEXT launches).

You really should be saying "Thanks to Bary Bertiger, Raymond J. Leopold and Ken Peterson", who were the three engineers who actually came up with, designed, and developed the entire Iridium constellation, as well as Motorola, the company that financed Iridium, Lockheed/Orbital ATK/Thales, the companies that built the satellites, and of course Iridium Communications, the company that actually runs it.

Give credit where credit is due. And it's not due to Musk.
We praise "peer review" without understanding/acknowledging that there are few peers and little review.

The aphorism "science advances one funeral at a time" is saddeningly true.

The more rigorous areas are those with little time lag between input and output, and results that are easily verifiable. Do you die within 2 weeks of taking this drug or are you cured - strong results. Take this pill every day for 40 years to reduce your all factor mortality by 15% - not so much. An imploded sphere of plutonium either gives you a lump of metal or an earth shattering kaboom - no need for a second lab to reproduce.

Areas with high time lag and difficult verification/reproduction are more vulnerable to research and policy entrepreneurialism. Whether it's salt hypertension, red meat and heart disease, the Cornell Brand Lab, or much of sociology errors last for decades because of the high costs of verification and the low rewards.

What are you talking about? figure 2 is a share of total tax total revenues by source. Figure 1 shows that Us total tax percentage of GDP is lower than every OECD nation out there with the only lower total tax share in the nations of Korea, Ireland, Chile and Mexico.

The figure 2 breakdown also does not distinguish between taxes on Income + "profits", and capital gains and corporate taxes where the wealthy accrue significant wealth are very low in the US...
Yes, clearly the return on services and government investment is quite poor in the U.S. It's a situation in which people reasonably believe that paying more in taxes is throwing money at the problem. This is especially so when one of the major parties actively seeks to prove that government is incompetent.

Tesla is not the most sustainable, cost efficient form of private transport on Earth. Even among electric cars, there are a lot of other cool options out there.

Tesla made itself into a something more than a brand-- it is a life-style and a status symbol. Tesla could sell rice and people would still buy it because there seems to be a deep human desire to belong to the "it" group
I don’t disagree with anything you said here, but it reminds me an argument about IRC privacy from the ’90s. People frequently accused IRC networks of secretly logging private conversations, and the usual argument was that this would require such an immense amount of storage that any such effort would be astronomically expensive and entirely infeasible.

I don’t know if that was really true even back then, but today it’s completely doable and done all the time (think Google Chat or Facebook Chat).

My point is, times change, it’s entirely possible that in 20 years storing that much data will be completely possible.
You're statements attempt to negate the GP's claim that the macro is classical by saying that the micro is not classical. But that's the whole larger question we're trying to answer here, so asserting an answer in one direction (micro is not classical) as a reply to some sub-point ends the possibility of a reasonable discussion.

If there is a formulation of quantum mechanics which retains classical determinism, then just because it coheres so well with the behavior of everything we have directly observed (insofar as that's possible through the intermediaries of our senses) so far, it should be given a good amount of attention.

> but the pilot wave theory... well it doesn't explain anything new and the only problems it might solve are related to prejudices.

It can only be considered a prejudice if you're already pre-decided that non-classical physical descriptions are necessary before attempting to evaluate pilot wave theory. You're saying the prejudice is against non-classical behavior, right? Just put yourself in the shoes for a moment of a person judging (the modern formulations of) these theories, but at a point in time before any of them had a reputation (in an alternate history I mean). Would it be a prejudice to select from among essentially equivalent (predictive power) theories the one which doesn't force us to leave the then reigning classical paradigm?

If Pilot Wave theory and the more established quantum theories have comparable predictive power, but pilot wave theory can do the same thing without introducing new classes of behavior never observed at the macro level, then that's a point in its favor via Occam's Razor if nothing else.
Just for clarification... you described a Roth. Usually, when someone says "IRA" without further qualification it would be assumed to be a traditional.
I could see there being a nice "hybrid" avenue, too: Have a human driver in the truck for managing all street level driving, overseeing loading/unloading, refueling, etc. And then let them take a break, or work on their side hustle or master's degree or whatever, while the truck is on the highway. And either pull off the highway or have the human take over if conditions aren't favorable.

Self-driving taxis, OTOH, feel like they've got a much longer way to go before they can generate any real profit.
They have upward-facing transmit antennae for 1090MHz ADS-B/extended-squitter for TCAS reasons.
50 hour stretches are also pretty rare. If you’re shipping that far by truck I’d imagine you are on a train.
Why would you need 50 hours of fuel?
I don't mean to be sarcastic here, but I hear developers (myself included) throw out "it would be much easier to..." or "this should only take an hour to automate..." all day long.

If it was an easy and profitable problem to solve it would have been solved by now. I agree that it would be very beneficial for everyone if trucks/truck routes were automated (except maybe the truck drivers getting laid off) but it's obviously a very hard and very risky problem to automate.
Worst case, it signals a human fueler in advance of it's anticipated need to stop for gas, and the fueler meets it and handles fueling.

Over time, though, building a network of compatible automated fueling stations to support the trucks makes sense, and you can use data from the trucks for siting decisions.
> I don't cause the government to write its contract with me to be the way it is. It's negotiated between my union and the state Department of Education.

Exactly. So one group of state government employees (your state's DoE) meets another group of state government employees (your union) and decide to give each other an incredible defined-benefit pension deal that nobody outside of government can even dream of.

State government employees are giving each other dream pension plans, that are unsustainable and wildly over-budget even if they were well-managed (which generally they are not).

You know why nobody outside government has defined benefit pensions? Because they were proven to be unsustainable decades ago. Yet government employees keep conferring them upon themselves.

Then, when the inevitable deficit arises, as any economist would predict, you have a great solution: me and my peers in the private sectors should pay more taxes to bankroll your party!

I hope this slow-motion trainwreck would be a wakeup call, but either way, know this: there is no amount of taxes that will prop up your unsustainable pension plans. State and local governments wasted billions mismanaging these funds, that are unsustainable even under the best management.

Any more taxes you collect will just fuel this fire for a couple more years, before the inevitable next crisis arises.

You can't fix fiscal irresponsibility with more money, because all that money (and no accountability) is what created fiscal irresponsibility in the first place!

Your state government needs to start applying the same basic fiscal responsibility that every single business in your state is adhering to.
That doesn't make any sense. Anarchist and socialist are almost polar opposites.
Not OP, but I've been very happy with a $60 Buffalo N300, running since 2015 with no issues. I run DD-WRT on it, 200 Mbit symmetric fiber uplink, 3 devices connected via ethernet and the rest via wifi covering the whole (wooden) house, and I have port forwards for ssh and https to the server in the garage. Does everything I need and more.

I've been looking for an excuse to go down the Ubiquiti route, but I really can't find one.
It's not nationalistic since I was not "having strong patriotic feelings, especially a belief in the superiority of one's own country over others" per the definition of the word. I was asking "when is enough, enough?" That's not me trying to promote a certain nationality or nation, that's me saying, "Russia is acting like dicks, let's take away their ability to do so if they don't stop acting like dicks soon."

In the end, it's probably not a good idea, anyways.
Why ‘resilient dyslexics’ have good reading comprehension
My brother in law works as a recovery driver for a very large trucking company 10000 + Trucks. He really doesn't make that much (50k-65k)considering he is at the top of the pay scale, so I am under the impression that the driver costs are pretty low. Fuel, Insurance, Break Downs, Regulations, and just waiting for loads that are not ready are the largest costs.

Part of his duties is to fly out and bring back new trucks and he was telling me that some of the new trucks have lane assist, cameras, an automatic distance feature where his speed to stopping distance is calculated and the if he crosses that threshold the truck will apply the brakes to slow him down to a safe driving speed (I think he mentioned he can override this feature). He also said there are alarms to let him know when he gets to close to a lane line, etc. I imagine that eventually there will be sensors in the steering wheel that can measure his condition/attention and relay that back to dispatch so they can monitor his wellness and how alert he is, etc.

Lots of interesting technology is making its way into the cab to help the driver be safer on the roads and probably is the result of some of this new self driving tech filtering it's way down.
You'd think that Amazon would have the machine learning resources to detect likely-fraudulent items with high accuracy, should they be interested in preventing such obvious fraud.
It's impossible to validate. Further for all we know Fakespot (which curiously has been mentioned multiple times) might itself be a fake that undermines products that are sponsored, etc. It probably isn't, I'm just saying.
If that is true then there would be nobody to miss us when we are gone.

>Because of the way the rules of the Monad interface are structured you're guaranteed that the functions you use to compose your Monads together will be executed in sequence with respect to their definition in your function body.

No! Monads don't guarantee sequencing. Some particular monad instances do (e.g. IO). But there's nothing inherently sequential about monads. See e.g. point 10 of the following:

https://wiki.haskell.org/What_a_Monad_is_not
Then they end up marginalizing themselves economically and diplomatically. If they take to violence, then liberal democracies should feel free to meet force with force. But not until then - if you believe in classical liberalism, you should not be willing to throw the first punch, nor to compromise principles out of fear.

If you adopt traditional tribal/nationalist mentalities out of fear of those who already follow them, then you've already lost, while if you make clear what you stand for and live it, you're at least fighting for what you believe in.

It's essentially related to how the banking system works, and how it's regulated.

QE money is asset money, it sits on the left hand side of the bank's balances. The money that everybody actually uses is bank deposit - liability money, which sits on the right hand side. Liability money dwarfs asset money in modern economies.

The rest is then a question of what happens when you inject asset money into a banking system, and that depends on the regulatory framework. In the modern banking system capital controls have taken over from asset liability money controls, and that is essentially what has stopped the hyperinflation that some people predicted.

If you look at the deposit money quantities, well the normal rate of expansion for the US is approximately 2x decade, and that continues to be the case.
Geographic context makes more sense to me than geologic. I'm not sure why we should draw history lines along tectonic plate boundaries unless we are specifically studying geology.

> I have no interest in seeing Chicago fix its pension problems by using funding taken from the US military. Chicago made its bed by intentionally, dramatically over-promising, it gets to sleep in that bed.

Taxpayer money should be not be used to fix any of these over-promised pension problems, and certainly federal tax money should not bail out corrupt, irresponsible local governments.
I'd say the problem with all these Monad explanations is the people reading them are in general object oriented programmers (like me) and the problem that exists in functional programming just isn't an issue in C++ / Swift etc. Its never explicitly stated because functional programmers are just so used to it, its like air.

So in a very naive way - here's the problem, When you apply a function and get a result you have no state - the function doesn't remember what happened. In object oriented programming you always have the state - its in the object, or other objects floating around, and methods can always reach out into surrounding objects to get bits of state it needs, pure functional programs can't do this - they have no state except the things that are passed as parameters. The haskellian way around this is to pass around the context of what just happened - vaguely the context is the surrounding bits of data you need to keep track of.

Monads, functors and so on are the ways that haskell keeps and manipulates the context and the value. The rules also have a very nice mathematical theory which they fit into. Most haskell intros start from maths and shoe horn the code into this - its not really necessary. This clarified it for me http://blog.sigfpe.com/2006/08/you-could-have-invented-monad...

Nope, this is actually a sign of Uber finally having adult leadership. Dara Khosrowshahi has only been there 9 months but he's doing an outstanding job, getting Uber's priorities straight and refocusing the company.

And their core business is a fantastic business. Bookings is still growing faster than 50% annually. It cut it's burn rate to $300M last quarter, despite the bleeding at dozens and dozens side projects like Trucks, Eats, etc, and still has $6B in the bank. Dana is getting them laser focused on their core business again, and they'll be profitable before you know it.
I'm not sure how much I trust these tax rates. My understanding was that government spending is roughly 33% of GDP here in the US. This was true when I was in undergrad, and it looks to be roughly correct today. https://www.usgovernmentspending.com/percent_gdp (not sure how much I trust this site, but it corroborates what I learned in undergrad with only a few minutes of googling). This means that the tax rate must be close to 33%. Else you'd have amazing deficits balooning quite quickly.

Maybe it's ignoring corporate taxes? or ignoring other things on our W-2, like L&I and social security/medicare? It 's also probably ignoring local taxes, a 10% sales tax is hard to ignore.

I once calculated my effective marginal tax rate at 45%, and it stopped me from pursuing a higher paying job, since my take home didn't change enough to be worth the higher stress and the money I'd have to spend to combat said stress.
There's ceremony and some distribution for the management of the root keys. But almost nobody is a client of the root namespace; the most important namespaces are the classic TLDs and ccTLDs. The keys for those are controlled, by and large, by the governments that control those TLDs.

Moneyball by Michael Lewis says yes.

This is from memory, but baseball scouts historically rely heavily on athletic appearances (what they think a good pitcher, hitter, etc looks like), more than hard stats.
But I didn’t imply causation? I literally gave the same “could be skewed due to healthier lifestyle choices” in my comment...
That's a dodge. The point in my asking that question is to see if you're sufficiently well acquainted with any meaningful literature to actually provide an example substantiating your claim.

Inverting the question does not obviate the answer to what I asked you. Moreover, as stated your rebuttal question is underspecified: what do you mean by the "dynamics of money" and "stable foundation"? Can I trivially answer this by talking about the relationship between credit and debts, or are you looking for something more specific? You responded to my (very precise and specific) question with a vague, orthogonal dismissal of the entire field.

Why don't you tell me about the "mathiness" in some peer-reviewed economic paper (preferably in a tier 1 journal) that you perceive to only be correlated with real world conditions in "very narrow circumstances"?

Then it's clear that you're entirely ignorant of the history of radio in Germany, in particular its contribution to the rise of the Nazis.

Before 1933, German radio broadcasting was conducted by 10 regional broadcasting monopolies, each with a Weimar representative. Their radio had a distinctly anti-fascist and anti-Nazi slant up to the Nazi victory in 1933. If anything radio hindered the rise of Hitler.

Last night I finally abandoned a book that was absolute trash, but had 83% 5-star reviews on Amazon. Looking at the reviews now, I see that most of them are written by people who only write 5-star reviews (it has an F-rating on Fakespot). Feeling like kind of a dummy right now.
