Should be "buying puts" if you replicate a short.

It's not a clear-cut situation - in times of turmoil, when many traders are considering a short, the price of options will rise. If the situation then calms down and the price of the underlying decreases steadily, the drop in the option price due to lower volatility will offset a lot of the potential gain.

When expressing a trade using options one has a lot more parameters to deal with in order to formulate the risk-reward properly. I'd say it's exactly the sort of thing most amateurs shouldn't be doing.
To me it's not just about the government being able to block transactions.

The privatization of the payment system (which is basically complete in my country) means that my ability to participate in the economy is dependent on the whims of my bank, credit card issuer, and their (automated) blacklists.

Think of all the stories of Paypal accounts being frozen for no reason, or bad reasons, or even good reasons. Remember that at least once, for Wikileaks in 2010, Paypal unilaterally decided that what an account holder was doing was illegal and shut them down - and of course, legally, that's their right. Private companies get to choose who they do business with.

Personally, I think that's a rather worrying prospect: A private entity can now 401 my request for groceries. The payment system is critical infrastructure and should be treated as such.
I enjoyed this movie too, but bear in mind many people hated it, because of how it portrayed what it portrayed: not the accents mind you, the lack of moral judgement about the (semi true) scenes.

Lots of literature talks about the range of accents in the russian empire and CCCP. So, at one level having a mix of accents for the different characters exposed a real underlying complexity of what it is, to be a modern (19th century) Russian/Georgian/Ukranian/...

Still too much Linux, though. Things running in containers on in VMs need far less of an OS, and a lot less OS state.

God knows what will happen but there are a lot of small and not so small fires everywhere:

- Trade war

- Chinese growth faltering

- Chinese debt bubble

- Brazilian crisis

- Turkish crisis

- Italian populism / Italian debt

- US student loan bubble

- Real estate market slowing down in the US and the UK

- Brexit

- Over leveraged private companies because of the intense private equity deal making

- Tech companies reaching market saturation (internet access, smartphone or pc ownership, social medias, ecommerce), tech industry ceasing to be a high growth industry

I may forget some. Perhaps the next financial crisis will be the result of a combination of all of these rather than a single event (like the 2008 financial crisis was the result of a combination of a real estate market slowdown, a subprime debt bubble, and an over leveraged and complacent banking system, followed in 2011 by a sovereign debt crisis, of which Italy was already the most worrying elephant in the room).

Though I share your frustration, another relevant fact is that the journalist was a Saudi citizen.

Nations get into armed conflicts fairly frequently, unfortunantly. Since the West is also partial to engaging in armed conflicts, I think we cannot so easily critize others without opening a can of worms most would rather not think about: what is the moral difference between Saudi and US bombing in Yemen?.

On the other hand, even at our worst (Guantanamo?), the US is not kidnapping our own citizens and dismembering them.

I think his use of the expression is accurate—coming full circle to HTML—not to RSS. There would have been no need for the commenter to co-create RSS if HTML had been adequate for what they were trying to achieve at that time.

In other words, HTML's poor fit for content syndication as the web was growing paved way for the creation of RSS. Now, people merely use HTML meta elements to achieve most of what RSS was designed for.

The man who wrote The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (a great book that is racist[although the racism is not central to its purpose]) and The Adventures of Huckelberry Finn(one of the best condemnations of racism in my opinion) also wrote Tom Sawyer abroad (where Tom, Huck, and Jim go on a balloon trip around the world)

There is an “arm” switch.[1] This certainly shouldn’t have happened and indicates a break down in safety procedures. Significant maintenance should not be performed on an aircraft with ordnance. The plane never should have been armed. The maintainer should have been careful around the trigger. And a plane loaded with forward firing ordnance should not be pointed at another plane. This seems like a Commanding Officer gets fired type accident.

I'd argue that having a credit card is much more risky. You don't walk around with that much money in cash.

If you are being negligent with your credit card you loose everything. If you are being negligent with cash you only loose what you have on you.
TLDR;

For over a decade, Gallup has measured engagement on an almost daily basis and the number has barely budged over the last decade. The number tends to stay in the low 30% range — this strategy is a PR dream. Year after year, Gallup can state that “the majority of the workforce is disengaged.” They then proceed to sell products/services to improve the score. It’s the gift that keeps on giving!

I might be stating the obvious here, but why is maintenance work being done on a fighter jet that is loaded with sharp ammunition? You wouldn't do maintenance on a gun when it's loaded, why would you do it on a multi million dollar fighter jet?
I find this position generally attractive because I believe that good principles and ethics requires some effort on everyone's part, especially when the benefit is towards not oneself.

But exponential human population growth is currently unsustainable, and has been for the last 70 years. Global warming is proof that the are using ecosystem services faster than they can be replenished, which is having cascading effects across trophic levels. We're in the middle of a mass extinction. In order to get down to levels of human population that we should have, the nonviolent solution is to drop reproduction below replacement rate for a few generations. This is good.

Why on earth do people equate negative population growth with extinction? Populations of most species rise and fall all the time with availability of resources and amount of predation. This is Ecology 101 stuff. I feel like most of the people who argue this have some sort of deep-seated fear that the world with run out of white people and God forbid non-Caucasians take over the world. But societies reproduce memetically, not genetically, so it doesn't really matter about local reproduction levels -- as long as you have immigration, a society survives.

Agreed that energy removes a lot of barriers, but not all of the limits. Earth is still a constant size, and having an ecosystem is helpful to us. But with enough energy, other planets start looking attractive.

If everything goes right, government and society will instead pressure those companies to offer honest alternatives to their existing spying-based services and make it cristal clear how one pays.

Personally I don’t think employee engagement is a myth. I have been in the teams were it felt like you are part of large family, mission was worth it and everyone felt need to work together. This wasn’t an accidental but culture that was actively and consciously developed. There are all little things that leadership did, for example,

- eating lunch together

- having fun weekend trips with coworkers

- getting invited in to celebrate ethnic festivals

- getting invited in to each other’s parties

- taking vacations together for common interests

Things like above developed stronger bond to the extent were many folks would let go bigger compensation outside. It allowed to express opinions without being politically correct to leadership. It enabled continuous feedback and information sharing as opposed to infrequent all-hands and toung in chick critic. This quite a contrast from many 9-5 cultures where employees sell their time in exchange of money and nothing more.

This is the issue; many servers are picky about who they federate with and this creates a real bubble.
First define "architect" it can have wildly different meanings.
Could always be a personal conflict with other technicians/personnel, of course - or a curious form of sabotage.
However, on the political front, renewing the F16s in Belgium has been a point of some controversy. The other EU countries (and the US, through the NATO) expect us to stay up to date with military hardware, but Belgian politicians are hesitant to actually spend the money, as it puts the budgets under heavy pressure (and because - presumably - large parts of the public will claim that we did not actually need them, so that we spent billions 'for nothing', billions we could have spent on 'more useful' items). The military is not too happy with this hesitation, so if some speculation is allowed: this situation might move some in the military to take (potentially strange kinds of) action.

Afaik governments usually don't insure such mishaps. They have pretty much unlimited funds in comparison with insurers. Subcontractors couldn't insure themselves for these kinds of liabilities. No insurer would go that high in liability. Insuring military apparatus itself, well kind of beats the point. Insuring machines of mass destruction against destruction... On the outliers of 'crazy' insurance that I know are things like (private) sattelites and of course the global nuclear pool.

This reminded me of Taffy Holden, UK's RAF technician, who in 1966 accidentally took off in Lightning after making an error. English Electric Lightning was one of the fastest fighter jets of its time.

>The account has been widely published across the internet, but we make no apology for running the story here, as it’s a fascinating tale and it’s good to hear the original account of how Taffy Holden, an RAF Engineering Officer, accidentally selected reheat, then managed to fly several circuits in the Lightning jet fighter, position it for an approach and then land it with only minor damage. The flight in Taffy’s own words is reproduced in full below.

As rutgerv said, there is some controversy about what the future of Belgian air force looks like. Do we maintain current planes? Do we buy new ones? If yes, which ones? Does Belgium even need these weapons? Very difficult political questions.

I'm not saying this has anything to do with it. But at least that's the context.

Hello and thank you for the question!

The short answer:
- I don't know.
- Let Techempower to settle this.

I decided to take on Go(net/http) in the initial benchmarks as it shows good performance and even overperformed c++ solutions that claimed to be more performant (in their tests).

But!
There multiple things that can be tuned especially with c++ servers. And there are multiple tests which show different aspects of server's performance.
The problem is that currently I have no resources to do all these tests and what is more important - I think such tests should be made by an independent third party.

So I think oat++ should be submitted to Techempower to answer all those questions.

Actually, the F-16 has a switch to override the 'weight on wheels' (WOW) safety for the weapons. It's used for doing checks and maintenance on the ground. Switch was probably flipped and it did what it was supposed to do. You can see the procedure here:

Woah, what kind of burst was that? Surely it couldn't have lasted more than a second or so (while the jump-scare wears off of the technician :) yet the plane is torched. Thought they are a bit more resilient.
> “We care about markets,” Mr. Di Maio said in a television interview last week. But faced with a choice between bond yields and the Italian people, he added, “I choose the Italian people.”

That demagogic rhetoric comes up commonly and it makes the same fundamental mistake or perhaps not wanting to understand that serving your creditors serves you as long as you need credit. The consequence for defaulting is not getting any more loans. Setting up an unsustainable system is setting up for a nasty fall.

Reminds me of some claiming that Greece being able to print the drachma would give them an easy out to their crisis. Even if they did it just plain wouldn't work last I heard Greece was still very dependent on imports for things like pharmaceuticals. Hyper-inflating their own currency relative to growth would not be a solution - it does nothing for the cost of imports which they depend upon and is worse than disease it is meant to cure. Less extreme inflation relative to economic growth could boost relative competitiveness of labor costs is their own slight advantage but even that would call for a decline in standard of living as a corollary.

Which brings to mind a thing about loans in general and fiscal wisdom - one should take out a loan only if it is an investment in some way - either generating more money or reducing long-term expenses in some way. It may in fact go bust but it has actual potential to pay for itself. The same seems like it would apply to countries and investments can also include some humanitarian purposes - a healthy and well educated workforce can generate more and is a case of everyone wins.
> I've carried thousands of dollars around and no one was none the wiser.

With reasonably good probability you are (or were) exhibiting outlier behaviour. I do not have much faith in humanity, so if a high proportion of people routinely carried that much cash with them, the incentives for random muggings would be also higher.

In essence, it's because people don't generally carry that much cash with them, that you could do it without having to consider your safety. Before anyone claims that carrying large amounts of cash around is not a problem, think about this: The people who fill ATMs go around armed[ß]. Either personally or they have a guard with them.

It isn't that different from herd immunity.

I like cash, but I make a point of carrying only small amounts with me. Moreover, I also make sure that the bank account linked to my card has only limited funds on it, and move the money around between accounts as needed.

ß: A good proportion do, at least.
I like how the linked article is a laundry list of reasons to believe in dark matter but doesn't mention any problems with particle dark matter, MOND alternatives, or that the consensus on dark matter is far from settled, etc. And oh yeah anyone who questions this onesided cheerleading is strawmanned into an antiscience quack.
Not sure. An ariane 4 rocket exploded due to a leftover cleaning rag in a water line. I would guess the launcher + payload price would top the price of an F16?
If you are inclined to stay IC at 40+, get in to teams where someone needs to write “impossible programs”[1]. Accelerated ray tracing, robotics, computer vision, firmwares, deep learning/machine learning, orchestration stacks, OS kernels, debuggers etc. These are sort of areas which I think benefits tremendously from multi-decade expertise and complexity+stacks are usually pretty high.

The hacking comparison is a really slippery slope though. As long as I don't harm another actual human there should not be anything wrong with me manipulating how I access a service or how parts of that service behave on my machine.

I'm thinking browser extension that alert Gmail for my use cases or alternative clients for hardware a service provider like Netflix or Spotify has no incentive to care about. We should really make it possible to talk about these issues akin to a right to repair for software, not by criminalizing every deviation from the corporate norm as computer misuse or copyright infringements.
