Yeah, I didn't mean to imply you had to break the bank to avoid damaging your records. And good note on the anti-skate tracking as well!
I dont know what you mean by “prime driving conditions”, but it seems to work great both in sunny clear weather and in severe rain and thunderstorm, as well as with varying levels of traffic (from none to heavy).

I have been using it for almost a year on my daily commute to work (~13 miles one way), and only once it didn’t let me engage autopilot due to severe weather (but it was so bad, even i couldnt see much, so i had to pull over at the nearest exit and wait until weather conditions cleared up; and no, i wasnt going to let autopilot drive in such poor conditions, i just wanted to check if it would let me engage it). Every other time, even in thunderstorms and rain, it worked flawlessly (and we get plenty of rainy days here in PNW, though mostly not waterfall-tier of rain like you would get on east coast).

I can imagine, it would probably not work well with significant snow on the roads, but i didnt get a chance or reason to test it, because when it snows enough here to be an issue, everything pretty much gets closed.

I realized I didn't reply specifically to your question about why $PUTW ticker price looks the way it does.

"The strategy is designed to receive a premium from the option buyer by selling a sequence of one-month, at-the-money, S&P 500 Index puts (SPX puts). If, however, the value of the S&P 500 Index falls below the SPX Put’s strike price, the option finishes in-the-money and the Fund pays the buyer the difference between the strike price and the value of the S&P 500 Index." [1]

They aren't selling puts to open a position, they're selling SPX puts. SPX is a cash-settled, European-style option derivative product tracking the S&P index at a notional value of $100 per index point. When they get assigned because their position closes in the money, they write a check, instead of taking delivery of shares they bought at a discount and waiting for a recovery.

So what this ETF tracks is basically the spread between realized and implied volatility. When the implied volatility is higher than the realized volatility -- which is most of the time -- it tends to be a little bit lower. When the realized volatility is higher than the implied volatility -- which tends to only happen during dramatic market moves -- it tends to be a lot higher.

If you zoom out, they basically go up nice and smooth, until a major market event hits, then they get practically wiped out. Then they start recovering again.

If you sell puts with the goal of getting assigned on the underlying, and riding it back up, you actually want to get assigned at some point. These folks instead cut a check for their losses, don't take delivery of anything they bought at a discount, and start selling premium again, hoping the premium will make up for their losses. Doesn't look like a winning strategy huh?

tl;dr: $PUTW does not use the strategy I suggest. Did that address your question?

That's still a pretty huge discrepancy across party lines.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that the Democratic party is pro-China by any stretch of the imagination. I just think these elections tend to drive people on both sides towards extreme opinions as they seek to invalidate the opposition. It is common to see people marginalize issues that their opposition is campaigning on. Both sides are very guilty of it and there are plenty of high-profile examples in recent history.

And I'm not trying to paint with broad strokes here. I think this is only a significant problem with the most extreme ends of the political spectrum. However, those ends tend to be the most vocal and they have a strong influence on how political issues get discussed.
It's hard to know if that optimization is active, and nearly impossible to ensure that it stays active. So for this to work, it would need to be enforced, e.g. the same way that the compiler enforces that a let binding is assigned before use.

Pretty boring really.

- 07:30 The first of 12 alarms goes off

- 08:30 Wake up, dress, get some water

- 08:45 Start working. Can never manage to get a lot of work done in the morning, so I usually slack off a little

- 12:00 Breakfast

- 13:00 Back to work. Usually somewhat productive now

- 17:30 Done with work, go for a walk

- 19:00 Dinner

- 20:00 Side projects or Netflix, depending on how tired I'm feeling

- 23:00 Go to sleep
Why would you want such a thing? It's clearly wrong, correcting it is just like people 'debunking' flat earthers or strong atheists arguing with fundamentalist Christians.

Its only value is a sick kind of entertainment - "I am so much more clever than these idiots". I say this as somebody who has consumed this kind of media myself in the past.
To me, this seems like an idea that warrants a longer period of hand-crafting before a $100,000 production run. It's an interesting prototype, but a folding "church table" is a better sorted piece of engineering. I can turn it to face the ocean, work in a parking lot, and it takes approximately the same space. Good luck.
And I think the critical implementation of that was "firing" Steve Kessel. Don't have him worry about his old P&L at the same time.
Maybe the stuff doesn't universally suck, but would be soul-crushingly boring for one person yet completely engrossing for another. It might not change the fact that doesn't help anyone, but I would say there's no need to say it's always the goal to be productive in working towards something or have it be helpful to others in the end. Sometimes I just enjoy building things in itself.
There’s a lot of good examples of time schedules here but I have one thing I do every morning that helps me. I have a running notebook of things I need to do (just a daily log in OneNote). Before I start my day, I go through yesterday’s log and make sure I check off what I did. I add anything that’s obviously missing. I make a copy of this list in a note with today’s date. Then I look at my calendar and email and add anything that’s missing.

Next, I mark each item with a color for “must get done today”, “must get done this week”, and “can be later”. I create a new column and copy in the smaller list of what o want to do today. I add in personal stuff like a run, weights, meditation, laundry, etc.

As a third step I make a rough schedule for the day. It’s just text with some times and tasks. I try to make it under-aggressive. As the day goes on I adjust and check things off.

It helps keep me from feeling overwhelmed and makes sure I get the important things done first.

> If you were retiring in 2008, you might not be able to keep averaging with the market, even if you had the stomach to do it.

That is why you need to risk-adjust your portfolio before you hit retirement and see to it that you have other assets to fall back on in case of market implosions. Landing in a ditch with your stocks as the only possible income during 2008 means your assessment of your risk tolerance was wrong and you found that out the hard way. Staying in stocks means accepting the risk that things go south in exchange for high potential returns. As we saw, the markets climbed back (I think the average is 2-3 years of misery in past crises before it gets back up) and had a 10-year bull run before Corona hit.

A fully paid off house can help sit out crashes, too, sure. Investing in stocks while still paying your house off, well... some people like to live on the edge :-)

> Time in the market is still timing the market.

No. Timing the market is making decisions in between about getting in and out for other things than rebalancing, adjusting your risk or for some rational tax purpose.
What's the origin of the "X-first" language pattern? Earliest example I cam remember is when Eric Schmidt was talking about "mobile first" approach.
In some fields, it can actually matter to "reflect who our customers are". I saw a study that looked at medical clinics that took walk in patients, typically people who did not have a regular doctor elsewhere. It was random which doctor at the clinic would see a given patient.

What they found was that patients were significantly more likely to follow the doctor's advice if the doctor was the same race as the patient.
>The key difference with this current cloud embrace is that big billion dollar businesses are making their core business dependent on Amazon/Google/Microsoft cloud services.

There's still some history missing there. Before AWS/GCP/Azure, billion dollar businesses were making their _core_ business dependent on datacenters owned by HP/IBM/Sungard/Origin/Exodus/etc. E.g. Google's early search engine (their core business) in 1999 ran on servers at Exodus datacenter. Many of The Washington Post's core computing was provided by IBM's data center before Amazon AWS existed. In the 1990s, many businesses also had SAP ERP for core business processes that was managed by outsourced datacenters. (Both HP and IBM offered "managed SAP" hosting services.) When SAP went down, manufacturing lines got shut down, or no products got picked for shipping and trucks would sit idling. It's a similar disruption with AWS outages today.

Therefore, switching from lesser known and older "cloud" such as Origin/Exodus/etc to AWS/Azure/GCP is not that radical or as dangerous as some believe. Before AWS, many companies still depended and trusted other companies to provide off-premise reliable computer infrastructure. We just didn't call it "cloud" back in the 1990s.

Today's AWS/Azure/GCP with their modern multi-zone failover architectures are more reliable than the old HP/Origin datacenters that businesses used to depend on.

> "you can't beat the market"

But the "you" here isn't you, it's people who aren't hobbyist investors (let alone professionals). People who don't know, and don't really want to know, what "risk parity" or "minimum variance" is. I don't think any boglehead truly believes nobody can beat the market.
Thanks for the enthusiasm and insights - and the toolkit of course! :-)

> fundamentally we cant test and branch to bail out early when we find something we want

I think this is derived from assumptions that are not necessarily valid, with a suitable representation in memory.

In other words I think you can bail early without revealing too much, with a suitable data encoding.

But after writing out a sketch of a mechanism in a HN comment I realised the idea may be patentable, and HME is probably an attractor for that sort of thing.

(I also realise I may be full of nonsense, but you've got to start somewhere :-)

I'm pretty open about ideas. An open source kind of person. But then I remembered, I posted something before and found someone else built on the idea and patented it (citing my post), stopping me from developing the idea. Yes, that happened, albeit a long time ago :-/

Hmm, uncomfortable.

> Is all mental health research unscientific based on the same logic?

Mental health research is focused on clinical outcomes so it's not the same as basic research on consciousness. All of these fMRI studies have been useless for the latter because they're blunt tools - perfect for studying tumor blood flow or correlating which parts of the brain are kinda-sorta active during some extreme scenario (stuck in an fMRI "for science") - but useless for actually probing the nature of the mind.

They tell us that there is "something" there that can be loosely called the "conscious" and "subconscious" mind in academically trained company but it's still trying to shoehorn late 19th century ideas to cutting edge neuroscience - it comes down to selling grant proposals using familiar colloquialisms. We could very well find out tomorrow that there are higher level networks within the brain that make the separation meaningless and you'd still see grant writers overuse them any chance they get.

> My understanding is that it's conclusive that some of our brain's processes we feel we are controlling (conscious thinking), while others happen in the background without us realising. The fact that we don't understand everything that makes that the case doesn't stop that being the case.

These papers are a lot worse than "we don't understand everything." They're often times actively harmful to our understanding.

The brain is so complex that fMRI studies are the scientific research equivalent of a full body CT scan. The older you are, the more likely you are to find something that looks like a tumor. By the time one is in their 50s, full body scans are more likely to result in serious complications from unnecessary biopsies than find a malignant growth. Likewise, the more complex the brain the more room you have to find spurious correlations in fMRIs in just about any scenario where the subject is conscious or even dead if the researcher is really bad at statistics - which most are.

This makes them the perfect tool for scientists under pressure to publish or perish, but not for studying the brain.

2 grams is a safe daily dose of methanol, according to this paper[1]. 2 cubic centimeters of water weighs about 2 grams.

These sanitizers are supposed to be mostly ethyl or isopropyl alcohol, around 70%.

So, supposing conservatively, if all of the alcohol is methanol instead, and you absorb all of it, about 3 cc's should be your maximum daily limit from such a dispenser.

Of course, most of the alcohol will be lost to evaporation instead of absorbed, thus I think a few small squirts here and there shouldn't hurt you - as long as you aren't drinking it.

> The web would be a really interesting medium for indie games.

It already was. Flash gaming was huge (so was embedded Java gaming such as Runescape). It regressed rather heavily over the years, perhaps from mobile, perhaps from regressions in the web's tech stack even, or perhaps just from social changes. But unless it was web technology regressing, I don't see why WASM + WebGPU would suddenly bring it back, either.
the main point that most people miss is that you can deliver something mediocre and still beat the competition. your product doesn't have to be perfect, it has to be better than the competion.
Interestingly that song is apparently about the first time they tried to massively redesign the mathematics curriculum based on on fuzzy math that we were falling behind the Soviets or whatever. My parents tell me they rebased around set theory early etc but it foundered on nearly the same rocks that common core mathematics is now - teacher must be well educated in the pedagogical paradigm and fully understand it. E.g. you can't just take the same set of teachers from math v1.2.1 and slam them into math v2.1.0 or whatever without significant issues the two approaches are not abi compatible. That's why in my with opinion common core we are seeing teachers test finding answers via method 1 specifically or method 2 specifically rather than encouraging the use of either to get a correct answer by an understood method. /rant

At least this incident should serve as a warning to other companies that Ransomware is very real and there has to be a plan for recovery without paying the ransom.
For a truly lowest latency in software application you need to avoid all context switches. Using interrupt driven IO adds to much overhead. You need to use polling and busy waiting. I'm working on a guide for this type of application design. If you are indeed using the Linux network stack, then yes adjusting NIC interrupt coalescing and interrupt affinity is useful.

To the downvoting-without-commenting crowd: The GP's claim is that OOP is "the most successful programming paradigm in history." Responding that there exists a single website that happens to be written in a non-object oriented language, which by all accounts is the only remotely useful thing written in that language, is not exactly a scathing rebuttal of the claim. It's not even relevant, honestly.

It's actually probabilistic, though the probabilities very quickly approach 0 and 1 on each side.

But to answer your question, yes, you could recover some of the file if you didn't get as many pieces as you needed. Been a year or so since I did any work with fountain codes, but I believe most implementations send all the chunks, followed by n error correction chunks, so it would depend on how many real chunks you got. The error corrections wouldn't get you anywhere though.

Glad you liked the “not-exactly-an-ad-because-it-is-related mention.” While the probability of a forged deed is relatively low, the impact is not. In addition to the risk of a thief just forging a deed to a property they have no connection to, there is also the risk of intra-family deed/mortgage forgery. This intra-family forgery is likely substantially underreported, and causes the family to lose the property it has acquired through hard work because of one bad apple.

In addition, people are (rightly) highly risk-averse about anything that affects their family, their home, or the assets that they built over years and decades. For example, real estate investors commonly put their property into an LLC (which costs $800/year in CA) or buy liability insurance, even though the probability of incurring a large liability is low.

With respect to costs, even though land records are public, machine-parseable title/recorder data is expensive. Data from the tax assessor (even machine-parseable) is relatively cheap, but is not as complete as recorder data. For example, it does not have mortgages. We intend to achieve economies-of-scale with respect to recorder data. At that point we intend to offer additional value at the same price (for example, insurance) and add a free-but-sell-leads service.
