Bloomberg can't see past the end of their noses. They worry about property value, but if the sea level rise is worse than the most pessimistic forecasts means that a lot of other things (not just that particular symptom) are getting worse than expected, and they are bigger and far more destructive than a peaceful slow sea rise.

For what they worry about, property value, could be at risk even if you are away from sea. Or in a few decades property value (and more things) may have no meaning at all.
Sorry but this comment is full of misinformation.

> whoever is on the other side of the contract is predicting the opposite of whatever you're thinking.

If you are a retail options trader, the person on the other side is a professional market maker who doesn't have a "prediction" the way you'd think about it. He made his money at the moment you did the trade, because you traded at a disadvantage relative to the fair value of the product.

> And, to run an option portfolio, professional options traders run risk management software like Blackrock Aladdin and Goldman Sachs SecDB. These cost a LOT of money (close to 6 digits a year)

No, options desks run (usually proprietary) models whose job it is to price options and strategies along the curve in a self-consistent way (i.e. via no-arbitrage arguments) relative to some more liquid instrument like futures.
OR on a bank exotics desk, they run custom models that try to price exotic products from first principles (monte-carlo simulations of cash flows, basically.)

> (close to 6 digits a year)

Way more expensive than this, the quants and developers who build these proprietary models are paid a lot of money.

> Sure, you could get lucky once in a while but in the long run, not knowing the odds is going to hurt you and you are likely to lose all your money.

This is both accurate and not, it depends what you are doing. I believe sophisticated retail traders can find mispricings, especially in less liquid products. If you are not looking at the vols and building curves, (or you don't know what that means), this is not you.

I really hate advice like this. Have you ever seen a business before? Have you ever met a person? Pretty much no interests are monetizable and almost all companies are doing really boring work. I don’t believe anyone in the world is truly passionate about things like payroll software. If I followed my interests I would be homeless.

>I don't understand why people are focused on rising sea levels.

well if you want people to change their behavior and some people seem focused on sea levels you might want to address their worry instead of telling them, don't worry about that. That's like a marketing thing though - there are other issues.

I for example believe it is possible to note issues regarding rising sea levels without throwing all other issues out or refusing to focus on them as well, that is to say the focus of human conversation and mind is not the same as the focus of a camera.

I'm in Denmark, which is primarily a coastal and island nation without any notable high ground. So obviously anyone who was in my position might consider the sea-level a more personally problematic focus area than #5, even though the other events are more problematic for the world as a whole. I also think the Ectothermics species issue might not be as big a problem in Denmark.

I for one support the use of face recognition and otherwise enhanced surveillance by law enforcement. The alternative that we are seeing here, of private surveillance is so much worse.

From time to time there's a discussion on HN about the "Nothing to Hide Argument" (e.g [1],[2],[3]). On this topic, I feel there's close to a unanimous position on HN that the "nothing to hide argument" is wrong. People mention counterexamples like "are you ok with cameras in your bathroom", "can you share your bank account password with me". They are all strawmen.

The way I see it is: if law enforcement identifies all the perpetrators of the Capitol attack and brings them to justice, that's a good thing. I was not there. I don't live in fear that one day the law enforcement will use some facebook photo of mine to send me to prison, because I don't engage in criminal behavior. But if someone with my likeness was there, and a mob of redditors mistake that person to me, yes, that's something that I can be afraid of.

> I just don't think it's fair to blame Robinhood for not having the cash on hand to meet the unforeseen increase in deposits required.

I'm asserting that given how volatility and RH's overall situation was going, it wasn't unforseen. RH let itself become a counterparty risk, and therefore the clearinghouse stepping in was far from unforseen.

And since they had to negotiate down their deposit by half, raise money, liquidate client positions, and still halt buying, it's pretty clear that they were in way, way, way too deep.

> It's not obvious to me that Robinhood over-leveraged itself though. If you are seeing some reporting on this that says otherwise, I would love to see it.

They had to negotiate down their deposit from $3B to $1.4B and still had to liquidate client positions to meet that deposit and avoid going into receivership. That's a classic consequence of being over-leveraged.

Since these were deposits, this means that RH literally didn’t have the cash on hand to settle all their customer’s trades in GME alone, and (I presume) counting on sells to happen within the settlement window. That’s the definition of over-leveraged.

> I'm just not sure how you can be so confident that the proportion of margin trading to non-margin trading was high enough that we can attribute most of the problem to the margin trading.

Great point. I'm assuming that it's much higher for RH because of both who they attracted, and because they make it very easy to get a margin account. I'd love to see real numbers though.

> That's exactly my point. If the margin trading was the primary source of problems, it seems like RH would have just limited margin trading instead of limiting all buys (whether on margin or not). Doesn't the fact that they didn't make this distinction suggest that the margin trading wasn't a disproportionate factor?

Once your clearinghouse is demanding a deposit greater than your liquid reserves, limiting margin trading is not enough anymore. Eliminating margin before that would have reduced the outlay in general (as I mentioned previously), and might have also done a lot to reduce market volatility and calm DTC. But they waited long enough that it did not matter.

> When the government fears the people, it's an institutional failure mode

Governments and politicians should always fear the people. Not in terms of violence (although I do understand why BLM felt the need to resort to violence, given that police has undeniably committed grave acts of violence specifically against people of color for generations), but at the very least they should always fear not being re-elected so that they have an incentive to work for the people.

If the people don't hold their politicians accountable and keep voting only because of the party letter (and not voting in primaries...), the end result is Qanon believers like Greene in Congress.
Due to Hurwitz's theorem, as-per the article.
“ Gill was a clean cut Registered Rep at MassMutual by day and a long-haired, head-banded, fast-talking stock promoter on social media by night, sending out video promotions for GameStop that were filmed at a trading desk he had set up in his basement. (See this YouTube video by Gill. It has a caption suggesting GameStop could go from $5 to $50.)

This is highly likely to be a serious problem for both Gill and MassMutual. A genuine amateur trader could plead ignorance of industry rules about hyping stocks to the public. A heavily licensed industry professional cannot. The fact that Gill passed all those exams means that he knows what the rules are. In addition, the broker-dealer unit of MassMutual, MML Investor Services LLC, that employed Gill as a Registered Rep, could potentially face charges of failure to supervise.”

I'm not going to force anyone to debate with me, but if your economic theory says that Amazon's prices should have dropped this year, and they didn't, then your economic theory is wrong and/or incomplete. That seems like a pretty straightforward test.

Sometimes companies make more money and they don't lower prices, pass those increases onto workers, or expand. This is something that is observable just by looking at price/wage trends in different industries/companies and comparing them with the associated profit increases.

We know that "profits go up, prices go down" is too simplistic and/or flawed of a model to talk about the real world because it's not accurately predicting what companies do in the real world.

>Even with a margin account, your purchasing power is 4:1, at best! [...] IMHO...that "fastest" method to lose money(in the markets) is the commodity futures market. You get 200:1 leverage there

Shouldn't margin be weighted against volatility? Part of the reason why they give you that much margin in the first place is that commodities are presumably less volatile.
A significant reason why Stalin was able to successfully rise to power and why the Bolsheviks were able to secure total power is because of foreign violence and interference.

When all major foreign powers say that they wish for the destruction of your country and would openly prefer you to go back to more suffering, support for monsters like Stalin increases.

Equally, when the threat of invasion is as high as it was for the USSR from Britain and the US, a lot of money and power is invested in the military.

It's very possible that if it wasn't for massive foreign interference neither Stalin nor Trotsky would ever have been able to gain much power (both of them got their power from military conflict mainly, Stalin even moreso), the NKVD never would have gotten nearly as much funding, Lavrentiy Beria would probably have been put against the wall, and so on.

I never really need to quickly check weather because it has little impact on my day. I only really need it to dress warm/cold enough when I'm out of the house. This time of year, there is snow, so I can just assume it is below freezing and not raining, and only need more than that if I plan on being outside more than my normal commutes.

I rarely check the time if I wake at night. I do tend to check when I wake up, but I rarely check notifications when I do. Little is so important that I can't check when I get around to it. If I need immediate action, someone will call. Most things aren't giving me notifications anyway because I make it so.

And besides, I can just turn it on silent if I don't want to hear the few notices I get.

Is there any analysis out there about how well these systems work, and why a blockchain works better than a traditional inventory management system?

All I can find on these implementations are by blockchain startups who have a pretty obvious interest in making blockchain solution look good. But…how is this better than a good old database? They say “trust”, and I guess that’s true in the sense you can verify the changes to the ledger. But isn’t the lack of trust in the original producers? How is it more trustworthy if they catalog this with a blockchain versus a database?
In other news, water is wet. Obviously!!!! Blockchain has earned a bad name because of sales people trying to sell it for something it can't do. Blockchain is a very very very inefficient database that removes the need for a central trust authority. That's it's only selling point. You don't need it if you are storing your customer data in a central database.
> Why does China govt hate them so much, uncut version?

They do not. Many of the men raping Uighur women are socially friends with Uighurs. Many of them are Uighurs themselves. Some of them are probably socially friends with the women they're raping.

They're not raping women because that's somehow part of the Chinese government's plan to assimilate Uighurs, rather, they're doing it because they want sex, they're in a position to get it, they're not going to take no for an answer, and they think they can get away with it.

At my last job I was "granted" a team of architects. One of them got self-terminated after a few weeks as he was completely useless and he knew it (he got even more senior job in different company), one was okay and one required constant supervision because he was astronaut architect (he left after half an year).

Architects that know what they are doing are hard to find (my last positions were open for 6-9 months before i arrived. me hiring extra architects is similarly long process). From the other side, hiring manager/interview loop needs to have proper skill set to evaluate person and to make sure that this is what they look for (last time i got interviewed by principal architect, vp r&d, and a bunch of hands on dev leads from different departments across the company).
If you mean datastructures and algorithms - I'd still not qualify them as 3-5y course.
I think your mistake wasn't doing the DCF and putting on the position, that is a reasonable move (short interest in TSLA has been huge, a lot of funds thought the same as you ).
Your mistake was bad position management once you had it on the wrong way.

I don't know what % of your stack you had on that bet, but if it's money your wife would get mad about it's too much. Definitely don't want more than 2-5% of your chips on a flyer like that.

I'd say keep trying to make smart bets, but cut the size down and do more of them, and take them off if they are bleeding.
One of the harshest lessons people who aren't already in the financial industry learned this past year is the financial markets don't have to be tied to reality, like, at all. Companies don't have to be providing the value that justifies their stock price (TSLA, even Elon thinks it got too high), companies in dying markets can become wildly profitable investments because a bunch of people collectively decided to throw money at it (GME, AMC, BB, BBY, etc), the stock market as a whole can soar while the lower and middle class are facing the worse crisis they've ever faced, etc.

Only thing that is making sense (to me, at least), is crypto's recovery. It's 2+ year bear run didn't make any sense to me. Glad to see it roaring back.
