Well, everybody uses standard B-S to quote option prices, just like everyone uses interest rates to quote bond prices.

But nobody prices options while assuming all the good old innocent assumptions underlying the original derivation of the formula. That, indeed, can be seen from the fact that different vols will be quoted for different strikes at the same expiry.
Have people forgotten the classic way of investing in humans?

Social programs.

In Denmark part of my taxes goes to pay public pensions, and when I get old taxes will fund some pension for me.

The public pension isn't huge, so yes, almost everybody has a private pension scheme too.

My private pension is exposed to global stock performance over ~30 years.

My public pensions is exposed to value of humans in Denmark in ~30 years.

So in a way I do have exposure to some human investment :)

This is also why it makes sense for my taxes to fund tuition for everybody.
I'm an industrial electrician. Changing well-embedded standards and technology is extremely difficult, except over the course of decades to century+. Locomotives use 64 volts for control voltage. Eight 8-volt batteries. (Drive voltage is 500-750, usually 600.) Why? Because they settled on it when locos were first electrified, long before 12 volts was a standard (or other, now common voltages). Many steam engines had 32 volts; 64 was an easy doubling to handle higher power start loads. They will continue to be 64 volt until the end of time.
Exactly! And can you even call yourself an experienced Java developer if you haven't written your own ORM at some point?
I think that if all you're doing is serving the results of plain SQL queries, which is what the TechEmpower benchmarks are, then it's really hard to pick a bad language. Almost every language is capable of tens of thousands of requests per second. Even Ruby, a language we haven't brought up and is dreadfully slow, will do thousands of requests per second with Rails. Beautiful language, abysmal performance (relative to what's possible).

Once you're doing non-trivial things on Java, and I've outlined what those things are in my previous comments and they primarily revolve around memory, wall clock CPU time correspondingly increases as your program spends more time chasing pointers on the heap, poor cache locality, lack of value types, poor monomorphization of generics (until the JIT kicks in), and so on. These things all add up.

I'm not saying it's impossible for Java to be fast, after all, if you just store everything in a "private final double[]" like most of the Benchmarks Game implementations do, sure, the JIT will do wonders for you. But that isn't real world Java, is it?

Real-world Java web servers do more than just respond to epoll_wait(2) events on a loop by sending some bytes to a database, getting them back, and sending them straight back to the client. There's usually more serialization, more authentication, more logging, more metric exporting, more middleware doing one thing or another.

One last thing: GraalVM is the most exciting thing to happen to Java performance since NIO and the newer garbage collectors aiming for sub-ms stop the world times. Quarkus, which I googled over the course of writing my comments, is by far the most interesting new tool I saw for shipping Java in production efficiently by building on GraalVM to deliver web servers in megabytes, not gigabytes of resident memory: https://quarkus.io/

It's a shame Quarkus in the benchmark I saw used so much more memory. It looks like it should be possible to fix that.
It's even worse than that: Tokyo, Nagoya and Kyoto all have their own incompatible tatami sizes.

> The potential upside of 'tokenized' and standardized/automated legal documents are: less ambiguous interpretations, automatic resolution, simpler trading, and easier cross-border contracts ( to some extent ).

This all requires contracts as code capable of ascertaining external facts. As far as I know the only such facts that have been made to work are facts about the prices of other cryptocoins.

Furthermore, most of the benefits can already be obtained by registering a contract to be traded over a commodities exchange. There are, for example, weather futures being bought, sold, and adjudicated without any need or use for a blockchain.

> None of these technologies allow you to exceed the available bandwidth. They just make use of the shared bandwidth more efficient. It's still a shared medium.

The beam forming and such slice bandwidth availability spatially (that's what the cell network does too) so more people can use the shared medium by...not sharing it! It's not like AM radio that gets sent in all directions regardless of whether there is someone in a given direction to listen.

> With fibre, every customer gets the full spectrum.

Well by definition that's true whether fibre or copper, but that fibre or copper is itself aggregated into connections to upstream provider, so you're just kicking the problem down the road. You don't really get the full bandwidth end to end.

As I said I think fixed wireless is an acceptable transitional technology but wired makes more sense longer term for most locations.
I mean, contextually.. sort of?

Preferably a permanent solution is one that other such calamities could responsibly use as well without eventually ruining the world.

The impact of tossing it into the ocean is negligible , but

1) it sets a precedent unless the rest of the world reacts in a negative way and punishes the guilty (of which it seems TEPCO has plenty)

2) the negligibility of such action is rendered moot if the precedent set allows for such action to be considered a viable clean-up method in the future.

"A good permanent solution" should be one that can be enacted safely by future people confronted by similar issues.

'Out of sight, out of mind' has never been a responsible tactic, look at the ongoing legal struggle between countries behind the cleanup of the Ganges, for one example.

I don't have a better alternative, but I don't like the idea that system operators in the future may now view this kind of action as appropriate anywhere but the most dire of situations.
I hate to break it to you but your employer could always fire you if they didn't like you or your politics, real name accounts on the internet and "cancel culture" didn't change anything in that regard.
You've basically proved the point of the commenter you are responding to.

By your very own evidence - Spanish and Portuguese utterly dominate Central and South America.

There are 650M people there, if ~10% of the population speaks another language, that helps prove the case of 'language from more advanced languages win'.

Even where there is relative parity, systems definitely favour the language of the more powerful entity.

All over Europe there are 'niche languages' dying out, which is sad, but it's materially the case.

Go to Nice, France, and the street signs are in 'Nicoise' - not French. In Monaco if you listen carefully you can hear 'Monegasque'.

The decline of those languages is hinted at in the fact my spellchecker doesn't even recognize those words, unfortunately.
> C programming language will be 50 years old next year.

This principle implies the C programming language will outlive Rust, Go, Python, etc. I'm not sure how I feel about that. There's a good chance its right, but I'm uncomfortable imagining my grandchildren learning C's weird quirks.

There's definitely codebases written in C today which will outlive me, like the Linux kernel. And most of those codebases will probably never migrate to a different language.

Just like they stopped shipping chargers with phones on the pretence that they are saving the environment. Former Government hack Lisa Jackson announced this by tethering herself to the sloping Solar Panel roof of Apple headquarters [1]

They still sell the powerblocks on their website for an extra $19. So they are “saving” (assuming they cost 2 bucks to make ) $2*150MM units = 300MM thats not a small chunk of change.

No one i know saves power blocks like they are bars of gold. They wear from use, break and are lost so as a new buyer i expect a charger to included so i don.t have to shell out an extra $19 to buy from the same company.

Now looks like someone is not falling for their BS [2]

> It is huge, I agree. But ridiculous in comparison to what?

The current system, which is far more efficient.

> a) it has low security (a collusion of only 0.5% of Bitcoin miners can perform a 51% attack on BCH)

Not a critical issue, since evidently it's not happening. I'm not putting in more than I can afford to lose.

> - b) the community and their 'leaders' continuously lie and mislead the public about BCHs performance, adoption and scalability (e.g. unlimited transactions without degraded decentralization)
> - c) the coin and the community splits regularly because of power grabs

Completely unimportant to me. I'm not loyal to BCH or anyone else. I use whatever works at any given point in time. BCH currently seems to be the most usable for my ends, given how it performs transactions cheaply and has decent enough adoption. But if it dies, no big deal, I'll use something else. Heck, even DOGE seems to be doing okay.

Plus, this is crypto. There is no such a thing as an altcoin. It's all software. Permissionless money, remember? Lies, deceit, cheating, are all fair game since there's nobody to give anybody official blessings or permission on anything. So I couldn't care less who said what or what internal drama is brewing. Does it work or does it not for my use is the only metric, and the second it stops working I'll find something else.

> - d) the market's expected value of BCH drops continuously (because of the points mentioned before)

No, currently it isn't. See the graphs. Plus I'm not interested in the virtual gold kind of usage. So long it more or less holds up, that works for me.
It’s not depreciation that is the major timing concern (as that already hits both GAAP and taxable profits), but rather prior period net operating loss carry-forwards (which are not a GAAP or typical non-GAAP reduction of current profits, but are a tax credit [and properly/necessarily so in a profit-taxation system])
They contain very little metal, so will not set off any metal detectors. I have a similar sized implant, but not this one, and have no trouble at airports.
It's a big open question. There likely are things that only the G7+N can accomplish; when you see cryptographic advances in implants and exploits, that's a good sign; hardware implants and deep OEM supply chain attacks are another. But nuts and bolts CNE? It's hard to say, and hard to say how much damage any country could do if motivated.

The other big question is how much this stuff applies to defense. The US presumably has better defensive capabilities than Iran could hope to have, by far. But better enough to matter? Open question.
Sadly, I think I agree with your assessment that we are in a pre-next world war mode. There are now multiple smaller scale events that could easily transform from a local to a regional conflict. Reasonable people should be worried, because at least in WW2 we couldn't destroy the entire planet with one wrong move.
I call BS on Mozilla's commitment to privacy until uBlock Origin (or equivalent) is built into Firefox.

Nowadays running a browser without an ad blocker is as irresponsible as running a Windows XP machine without antivirus nor firewall a decade ago.

For languages, yes, overrides could be stored in a cookie, although they could also be stored in the URL (especially for documents intended to be downloaded). It could also support both. The reasons you mention are valid reasons to allow an override. (Still, if cookies are used for this or any other purpose, all cookies and their values should be documented, in case the user wishes to adjust them (or copy them) manually, and/or to understand what they are for.)

Logout (and the duration that the login data is kept) is the responsibility of the user agent. Unfortunately, none that I know of provide the user any control over that.
I think mindfulness here is meant as a synonym for a particular type of meditation. This article is broadly correct from my perspective—we should approach meditation with some caution, because it is not a well-defined self-therapy modality. It's quite possible, with the wrong practice instruction, to end up hurting yourself, or just getting nowhere.

Meditation—and even just mindfulness meditation—is a domain of practice as broad as "exercise."

If you are interested in engaging with this type of practice, I recommend working with a qualified teacher in a spiritual tradition. These practitioners will have extensive training (at least decades) and will be drawing from a few thousand years of careful study of the effects of meditation (as found in Buddhist and Yogic/Hindu documents and oral traditions).

For working on emotional issues without dedicating years to practice, therapeutic modalities developed in the West are faster, more reliable, and safer.

I was almost 30 when I had my first ever panic attack. I was alone and convinced it was a heart attack, called 911, and felt fine by the time the ambulance reached the hospital. Embarrassed, I was ready to brush it off, but instead saw a therapist for the first time. She took out a stopwatch and had me breathe through a narrow straw. Within seconds, my face and limbs went completely numb; I couldn't move, and was amazed that I could form words. I sat with my head in my hands for what felt like forever. Eventually it passed, I felt utterly exhausted, and she asked what I thought the stopwatch said. "I dunno, 10-15 minutes?" Nope, 90 seconds. That experience made me start taking my mental health seriously.
This basically happens already. The only way to get promoted is to make your boss look good. Basically pushing value up the pyramid, where people get paid more and "produce" intangible value (which of course is more prone to bias and promotion based on percieved contribution).
x can't be two values at the same time. It's one instance, not a class.

If you have "scope1.x/scope2.x" then they don't cancel out, but that's not "x/x"

And if you save a value for later, and change x, then that value isn't x anymore.

(I assume you're using = to state the value, not as an assignment operator.)

So good to see a story about the physical aspects of anxiety at the top of hacker news!

I’ve struggled with anxiety my whole software career and finally found something that really worked for me —- identifying the triggers of my anxiety, and focusing on my physiological sensations after I recall them, much as described by Pat Ogden in the article.

Another software engineer friend and I are starting a company to help software engineers reduce stress and anxiety! We’d love to hear from any of you.

> On the contrary, users are consistently willing to pay more than advertisers when given the option.

Problem is: there is a huge difference between paying even one cent and not paying. If you ask for $0.01, you will probably get the same result as asking for $0.10 or even a dollar. And if the only thing you have to offer is a mildly interesting blog post, no one will give you a dollar, so, if you want that cent per view, putting an ad is the only option. Micro transactions turned out to be largely a failure.

Another option is to find an editor/platform that gives you a share of a larger subscription. But even then, most people don't want to pay. For example, the usual reaction when I mention YouTube Premium is "why would I pay for something free?". And it gives even more power to large platforms: YouTube can reasonably ask for $10/month given the amount of content, it is much harder for a small player.

So what is the solution? Braved tried something with BAT, but it is still an ad-based solution, and I don't really trust it. Carriers tried it with the equivalent of premium-rate phone numbers. Governments suggested tax-based solutions, none of them convincing.

Near the money GME options are super liquid with tight spreads, exactly as promised. If you're holding GME, but you're worried about an earning surprise, you can put on a collar for like zero cost, which is pretty crazy considering the insane volatility. Exactly what the people who said they wanted the markets to support meaningful transactions instead of speculation asked for. Nobody ever promised you'd get easy access to 1000:1 yolo lottery tickets.
And also they can't interview at Google for another year after rejection. So failing the interview has multiple costs associated with it. It's better to prepare well and then appear for the interview.
I don’t really have any advice, but what I can say is it’s not really about distracting myself or avoiding thoughts, it’s more like changing how I think about things. For example, when I get some random aches and pains, it worries me a little. But in the past I would fixate on things, try to treat them, see a doctor etc. After a certain amount of grappling with my own mortality, I kind of realized that sometimes my body will just hurt, and there’s nothing I can do about it, and so I have to sort of say, “ok, I have this pain, that’s fine,” and then just move on to whatever else I need to do. Although sometimes it may mean the opposite, accepting that I can’t just power through. “I’m just not going to be able to do all the things I wish I could do today, I need to rest instead. That’s fine.”

It’s still hard for me. But I think the biggest difference is that I have shifted my focus more towards the things that are here and now, and that I can actually control, and focusing attention on those things naturally means spending less time thinking about things that are far away or beyond my control. (Ie, applying attention elsewhere is not the same as distraction.)

Not super coherent, but I hope some part of that is helpful.
