I think there is less risk. Especially with my strategy. Also you get 100x leverage. So I will give you a sample trade from today.

I bought Dec04 $600 Calls for $900 each at 9:55 am. At 1:25 I sold for $1820. So $1000 would be $2000. Now to make $1,000 in shares it would require ($1000/($25)) so I would need 40 shares (40*$550) = $22,000 risk.

Now I only buy calls or puts so my upside is always unlimited but downside is limited to the initial order.

Swing trading stocks is really hard because you have to sleep on $22,000 overnight. You can wake up with nothing in a black swan event. With options the most I will get hit on is $50-$100,000 which I have in the market at once. The rest is ready in the savings account in cash or etfs/TSLA stock.

I think options are the safest bet. Everyone starting out should look into the wheel strategy as it's basically free money for shareholders.

Sure it may prevent robots from visiting but it also loses business. Personally I just close the tab if I see that crap and go elsewhere.

Congrats, albeit I have to say I had less problems with recaptcha captchas.

Can't help but think of Dieter Rams design principles. Do those principles apply for websites? I mean they are products in a way.

For this particular website I think the design is obstructing the functionality.
"Good design is unobtrusive - Products fulfilling a purpose are like tools. They are neither decorative objects nor works of art. Their design should therefore be both neutral and restrained, to leave room for the user’s self-expression."

>People made the claim _while_ ignoring the evidence. And as I went on to argue, if you really want to play it safe and assume plant sentience, you would still adopt a plant-based diet.

People would still adopt a plant-based diet because there is no other alternative right now. Purely lab-synthesized food that does not involve cultivation of any other organization is still a long way off from reaching any kind of scale for mass consumption.

He was flawed, but far from being a piece of shit. I strongly suggest you put aside your prejudices about him and try to understand both his lights and shadows. He was always on the side of the downtrodden and poor people everywhere. He never abused minors, that one was Pelé. And he always cared about his colleagues, you won't find anyone in football that says or has said otherwise.
I think that's a bit simplistic. I've had coworkers that became better employees over time. The "problem" with PIPs is by the time you've screwed up long enough to be put on a PIP everyone knows there's no turning back.

For example, a friend I have that recently left Facebook knew for a good 6 months he needed to shape up. But they hadn't put him on a PIP in that time. They eventually offered him a decent severance to quit, and he took that rather than continuing to try. If he stayed, he probably would have been put on a PIP fairly shortly. It was the best thing for everyone. He wasn't all that happy there anyways.

Ask HN: How to automate Kubernetes application debugging process?
No brainer things i find myself doing again and again while debugging kubernetes issues

1. debugging pod crashloopbackoff

2. Checking events, logs, labels, pods, services

3. Looking for older events which are gone :(

4. Frequently logging into cloud providers dashboard to figure out if there is any issue with cloud provider.

5. Traffic is not being received by downstream applications

6. Ensuring services are selecting right pods

7. Launching pod to execute curl/dnsutils/awscli

8. For externally exposed service figuring out if ingress is routing traffic correctly, there isn’t other config superseding it

9. Doing exec into pod to check configmap/secret changes are reflected or not or killing the pod if feeling too lazy to check

10. Figuring out why node is not ready

11. Checking RAM and CPU utilization

12. Figuring out how this application is deployed: helm , argocd, flux, tecton, wf

13. Checking if manifest has changed recently and comparing for manifest misconfiguration

14. Comparing manifest with other env manifest to be sure if new config parameter has not been missed

15. Building mental model for applications context boundary

Have you felt the same?
I wanted to automate it, which feature should i implement first?
Anti-Virus tools have been flagging keygens and cracks for ages, and also hacking tools that grab passwords from (system) stores even if the tools have absolutely nothing in their code that talks to a server (I only ever used those for legal purposes, but can't tell you how often I had to disable an annoying AV...). Just because the AV says something is malware doesn't mean you can trust its claim. From my perspective, they've undermined their trustworthiness in the area where you are indeed most likely to rely on an AV.

I'm not surprised they're now flagging what is basically text and images as malware.
It seems like it did cross your mind, since your title is "Discord bans me for using their official client," which multiple people noted is rather ... unusual. :)

I worked on a SCO system briefly in about '02, there was a EMV related PoS system I was writing that needed to run on there for a customer.

Selling points were that it ran on x86 and was Unix, basically. As a result you could have Unix on fairly cheap hardware. There was a Linux "kernel personality" you could install on SCO Unixware (IIRC), that would run linux binaries, if you cared for that.

By that time it was on the way out though. You have to remember it was a transitional time - Linux was on the rise but in many people's view it hadn't yet proven itself. IBM, HP and Sun were still ruling the roost for servers, but their stuff was expensive. SCO gave people a way to make commodity x86 hardware into something server-like.

Honestly it wasn't a terrible system, it just got superseded quickly and then went down in flames.

Ask HN: Will WebAssembly benefit from a second-mover advantage?
I was wondering whether the write once, run everywhere dreams of the 90s has planted an irresistible idea in software developers minds and whether WASM will bring that idea to client side applications.

For whatever reason the Java GUIs never really took off and creating performant frontend applications that run on all three major desktop OSes is still a major pain to this day.

So to paraphrase for emphasis: Will WebAssembly succeed where the JVM failed and make it easy for Developers to create heavy lifting frontend apps on any platform?
the problem with the premise of the Purism post is based on another article that suggests everything should be done through the web browser, which entails NOT having control of data, software, etc...
Noisy – listen to AI generated music on Discord
I don't know why everyone is ignoring this part.
I can note a few differences here:

- People outside the field likely have enough concept of weaving (or fabrics) to know what the terminology might refer to.

- Weaving terminology is woven into our language(s). Before the industrial revolution, that was a huge labour industry - it was part of family/daily life.

- Words like 'sett' and 'weft' are clearly domain-specific and could be looked up. That's far less clear for 'language' and 'array' and 'map'; non-specialists are unlikely to recognise they are being used in a domain-specific way. Is a 'hash map' a type of map?
The title is inaccurate.

Logged in status and account reputation are obviously useful input, but reCAPTCHA objectively works without requiring login. IP reputation also obviously makes sense to take into account, but the fact that Google collects all of this fingerprinting information demonstrates that’s again only a part of what factors in. The same profile can show up from behind a different IP.

Not sure what you’re getting at about GDPR and IP reputation. GDPR says that an IP address is PII if it can be associated with an individual, but that doesn’t mean an IP address is a “subject” for the purpose of filing an Article 15 Data Subject Access Request. And it doesn’t mean that stored information that is keyed by an IP address is personal data, even if the IP address can be associated back to a particular individual.

I also find it strange that you’re talking about reCAPTCHA being “anti-trust candy” in the comments of an announcement about how a different captcha service now handles 15% of the entire internet.
Can you cite some evidence?
oh I put it in quotations because I was quoting the word the author used. I didn't mean it as "these so-called 'people'", but reading it back I can see how it could read that way.

To your first point, I think what people buy does have a reasonable correlation with what they want when there are other options. Taking the costs into account is of course part of the calculation. "They desire it but only if it is free and without any trade-offs whatsoever" isn't a very useful definition of "want".
Ooh, or what about alternating interpolation and binary search steps?

There's a decent check list of basic rights listed in this article, but of the "freedom froms" / negative-liberties variety.

But there's little of the real spirit of adventure, of the endless journey forward.

Technology as it should be is a vast adaptive positive liberty, a thing that is malleable & flexible & capable of, wherever you are, offering you means to push on further, to express your will & potential, not just in pre-set molds, but in the infinite unimaginable ways the original creators of the technology could never have begun to imagine.

If you disagree with the premise, then you are misplacing your argument. I was replying to a comment that argued this cannot be done nicely and mentioned forced relocations of the past. I argue that there was no precedent for relocation of people done in the name of wilderness preservation, which can be voluntary and with downsides mitigated.

The premise itself, the idea put forward by OP, is not without downsides and fundamental hurdles that I listed and acknowledged, though it is an interesting idea.
It may seem like it did, but ultimately I know what did and did not cross my mind. It is shitty of Discord to do that, though.
> Nursing is one of very few licensed professions you can do with an associates degree.

There are lots of licensed professions you can do with a associates degree or less. (In California, the list includes Barber, Commercial Fisherman, Cosmetologist, Dental Hygienist, Drinking Water Plant Operator, Electrician, EMT, Funeral Service Director, General Contractor, ...and that's just through the “Gs” of positions covered by the National Occupational Licensing Database.

Nursing is actually a set of separately licensed professions, the lowest couple levels (CNA, LPN/LVN) typically require a non-degree certification, though the latter may also be offered in associates degree form in some institutions. RN requires either an associate's or bachelor's (ADN or BSN), and the levels beyond RN require additional education; NP requires at least a BSN, Nurse midwives and nurse anesthetists require at least a Masters.
Agreed, though I found if I pressed reader mode quickly enough (Opera on Android) then I got a pretty readable result.
I didn't realize how awful PGP's usability was until I tried to get a server admin with a technical diploma to use it. This guy sets up and maintains servers for a living. He should be able to figure PGP out fairly quickly, shouldn't he? Boy, was I wrong!

The case can be made that people care about the the things in this arcile once their most basic needs are met. Whatever it is, it has to work and the user has to be able to figure out how to make it work in fairly short order.

The problem we have is that software that meets users' basic needs and software that lives up to the loftier rights in this article are, far too often, mutually exclusive.
Oh crude. Had one jQuery Developer be replaced with two 5 man teams so we could Use RXJS. Took a year for the first feature to be released. Not product, just a new page on the app.
It might force Intel / AMD / Broadcom to get serious about hardware and at least integrate more of the components for notebooks. Maybe not go full on OEM, but a lot more than the CPU, because M1 is probably fundamentally winning with SoC design.

I would like to know if they are using fundamentally better batteries, and how much a 5nm process lead is behind this.

But I will hand it to Apple, if they finally did something to break the 4-8 hour battery life limit, a limit that always seemed to stay the same despite node shrink after node shrink after node shrink, and really about the same on-screen performance for usual browsing/productivity application use.

I was pretty distrustful of the ARM move, but if they deliver this for the Macbook Pro, I'll hop to ARM.

Associated with the CPU people "getting serious" is them pushing an OS, which would have to be Linux. Intel should have done this 20 years ago, at least as leverage to make Windows improve itself.

Exactly, or be able to just use a text-mode browser.

Or wget to save a set of pages for later.

I understand protecting commenting with captcha, or contact forms. But captcha on regular read-only access to public web pages in the style of Cloudflare is a bit ridiculous.

One thing contact forms should have is a static indication there's a captcha in use. I've filled all too many forms that just sent my written text to void, because I block some domains.
So is there a way to capture user's screen without user knowing and essentially bypassing the end to end encryption altogether? (the images would be sent to a different endpoint for example)
Chris Knight : As you know, Mitch and I were working on the cyanide system. Well, earlier today it ate itself. But, these little set-backs are just what we need to take a giant step forward. Right, Kent? Needless to say, I was a little despondent about the meltdown, but then, in the midst of my preparations for hari kiri, it came to me. It is possible to synthesize excited bromide in an argon matrix. Yes, it's an excimer frozen in its excited state.

Chris Knight : It's a chemical laser but in solid, not gaseous, form. Put simply, in deference to you, Kent, it's like lasing a stick of dynamite. As soon as we apply a field, we couple to a state that is radiatively coupled to the ground state. I figure we can extract at least ten to the twenty-first photons per cubic centimeter which will give one kilojoule per cubic centimeter at 600 nanometers, or, one megajoule per liter.

Perhaps this is why Apple did not ask for permission from the user to add some delay every time the user launches an application. If the user were presented with the choice what would she choose.

If we look at the example of OCSP in the website certificate context, the notion of the delay added by OCSP (not to mention privacy concerns) being objectionable has already been acknowledged. As a result we have OCSP stapling. For some reason, in the Apple developer certificate context, OCSP is deemed acceptable by default.

It isn’t as simple as that but I still want to recognize and applaud this response. You’re right, performance isn’t the fundamental issue, distance from user need and user pain is. Unfortunately even where that distance is short, mitigation can be hard to achieve. Understaffed and underfunded orgs can be wildly aware and even obsessed with shortcomings in their offerings and still fail to deliver improvements. I’ve worked in such orgs, I’ve seen overworked, deeply caring and empathetic and dedicated engineers trying to move mountains to fix (and have habitually been one myself).

More to the point: unfortunately the software needs in the world, and the ways the world are underserved by software, are competing for resources and organizing talent with organizations that fundamentally don’t serve those needs. And both categories are competing in a limited pool, because software’s capabilities have outpaced the available talent to take advantage of those capabilities.

Good for my bank account, I guess. But bad for people and the world we (I) inhabit. And bad for me too, probably even more than I know.

Anyway this is far afield of parent comment’s point, but I felt it was a good place to add a little depth as an engineer who gives a damn but rarely sees the opportunity to apply damns.
They don't want to bloat language with million of rarely used syntax and hard to read features, just as Go devs do. Not to repeat the failure of Scala (and I'm afraid Rust goes the same way).
Or they could charge you a simple price for the version for Mac OS 2020, and when Apple breaks it next year, you can buy the version for Mac OS 2021.
