No, because delta can't ever go below 0 or above 1, but it will be close to 0 for low prices (OTM options) and close to 1 for high prices (ITM options). So it'll always form a kind of S-curve.
I can't help but feel this isn't related to political idealism... There is some kind of "well we can... so why not?" and implementing it, and the second/third order effects of doing it are sometimes hard to envision. Like "lets build a chat system (and store it all in a centralised location)" doesn't feel as nefarious as like a Manhattan Project, but ramifications are quite dramatic.

We should point out too that white people did get reparations. They lost slaves and the government paid them. You can't claim to be a "strict egalitarian" if you support a system that treats people unequally.

The answer for de-escalation is not simple. It starts with empathy, and recognizing our common humanity. These are human beings. Genetically, we are all very very similar. We all have similar drives. We need water, food, security. We desire belonging, love. We aspire to have sufficient social status within our communities.

I'm generalizing here, but the purveyors of a lot of this are not society's winners. In mainstream society, they have low social status. They're financially not well off. They are uneducated. They are mocked in mainstream culture, and called 'trash'. They are targeted by urban/educated/white people as the true racists and causes of our problems in this country. Many of these people were not born with the deck in their favor, and society just keeps crapping on them.

The answer isn't to accept or condone anti-social behavior from society's losers. The answer is to empathize with their situation, and figure out how to create a more inclusive society that creates an easier path for those born in the lower classes to find purpose/value/love/status within the communities. To not mock them because it's funny/entertaining to pick on the losers of society to make ourselves feel better.

I think SIP+RTP over QUIC might be a contender for that title. No more NAT traversal wackiness caused by needing both a TCP connection and a UDP connection. I still can't figure out why SIP didn't use TCP-over-UDP for the low-bandwidth control packets.

QUIC has protocol-level support for running both a reliable (TCP-like) and datagram (UDP-like) substream over the same QUIC connection. Cannot wait for SIP-over-QUIC!
Parler didn't even try to remove a very narrow, specific set of posts referred by AWS. I think if they did that, AWS probably had much harder time to justify booting Parler off from their platform.

Such condescension in response to breaking a piece of glass you carry with you in your pocket all the time. It’s honestly offensive.

Its funny how people whom share my active lifestyle often have a similar problem, and lament how fragile phones are.

Most of my phones have been broken between my hip/thigh and a blunt object. Most recently when I slipped and fell on some moss while backpacking. But other incidences including (literally) running into wheelbarrow in the dark, getting knocked out of my hand by a cyclist, a metal water bottle in a vehicle flying and smashing my phone into my hip.

I don’t go out of my way to hurt myself, and am actually a careful, graceful person. I’ve never broken a camera in over 50k shutter pulls.

For personal projects, it seems to me some people are really good at starting and finishing projects. Personally I'm fine if projects takes less than few hours, 2 days max.

But I get overwhelmed, stressed and completely demotivated even just thinking about having to work on long projects. It looks like a never ending mountain, a mountain of suffering.

All the 'big' projects I've ever done seems to have some things common

- I'm beholden to someone else.. Monetary reward seems to be waaay less motivating.

- Reward probability has to be 100%. Add any chance / risk & it's not worth it. Highly averse of looking stupid to myself for some weird reason. Personal projects often have no clear reward. Why work on futile things?

- Deadline which would have resulted in certain loss.

- Permanent! Achievement would also result in permanent gain.

- Clear! I need a clear goal to hit, if it involves me figuring out what to do then that's the most amount of work. Again making a right decision is very crucial.

I really wonder if there is psychological therapy that can change my brain calculus, any experience?

It's not surprising because IPv6 completely ignored transition planning:

It's probably too late for anyone to see this, but I think momentum is what matters for a hammer. Here is my argument.

I'm assuming that when you swing a hammer, your arm applies a constant force to the hammer. Let's say that force is F, and we are swinging the hammer a distance of d, and the mass of the hammer is M.

Then the acceleration is a = F/M. The distance traveled in time t is 1/2 a t^2 = 1/2 F/M t^2. We want that to be d.

That happens at time t = sqrt(2dM/F). The velocity at time t is a t, so the velocity when the hammer hits the nail is v = sqrt(2dF/M).

That gives a momentum of M v = sqrt(2dFM).

The kinetic energy is 1/2 M v^2 = 1/2 M 2dF/M = d F.

Note that the momentum at distance d depends on the mass. It goes up as the square root of mass. Kinetic energy at distance d, on the other hand, does not depend on mass.

When I've hit hammers with nails, the heavy hammers have always seemed to drive the nail deeper per hit than the light hammers, which suggests that hammer mass does matter, suggesting that it is not kinetic energy that determines how deep the nail is driven.

Great analogy, though. I posted about how macOS’ file picker behaves compared to Windows’ one; this analogy would’ve helped.

The way Windows does it feels like crapping in the bath tub, at least to me. Wrong tool for the job. “If all you have in a hammer” kind of deal.

On the other hand, I’m sure Windows users who defend the mini-Explorer think of it more like using one of those fancy Japanese toilets with a bidet and music player to hide the sound of your ablutions.

Watching that video now.

I can say, without a doubt and with great seriousness, that if you have any control over their documentation process, in the "getting started" and "setting up synapse for yourself" pages, that video should ABSOLUTELY be a part of that. It is orders of magnitude easier to follow.

Then, just start with this page:

https://github.com/matrix-org/synapse

What's Synapse? You know, I know now; but, where on that page does it say what Synapse is?

On basically every tutorial page, I think there's value in asking "okay, what do I need to know to understand this page?" If the knowledge is important and takes more than a click or maybe two to get that answer, it's too far away for most people, I think.

Again, the YouTube video walking through the steps with the guy talking is AMAZING. I've learned more listening to this than any number of web pages attempting to describe it.

Ben Thompson, of Stratechery, had an interesting way of talking about Facebook that might help with a future definition of "social media services."

He (and podcast co-host John Gruber[0]) talked about the idea that Facebook isn't the same site for any two people. Due to the algo, everyone has their own personal version of the site. Therefore, there's no individual snapshot of Facebook at any given time.

I found this an interesting concept to point out. If one needed to distinguish between a website and "social media services," perhaps a law could be drafted such that such a condition was true.

HN, for example, would be a website because commenting and voting is user-based. I suppose that might mean Spotify and Netflix would be swallowed by the definition. The definition would then need additional language about user-submitted content.
