This really depends on the situation, e.g.:

* long commute

* kids, depending on their age: shorter work days to be around when they're not at school, or shorter work week to spend one more day with your baby instead of leaving it at day care

* whether you count your working time: 4-day workweek means nobody expects you to be there one day per week, expectations are less clear with a reduced-time 5-day workweek

* what you do in your free-time, compare hiking weekends vs going to bars and restaurants

Obviously, the best alternative is to be able to choose depending on your personal plans for the week!
I switched from mechanical engineering to programming, in part because of the money. I saw software people making bank, and the financial career path for mechanical engineers was much more limited.
Taste is a proxy for nutrition. Murdering people is bad not because of some abstract causing of pain or whatever(otherwise youd have nothing against killing people with heroin would you?) but because murder begets murder, making existence of organized society very hard and inefficient. Killing animals doesn't cause such problems so it's irrelevant.

Meat animals exist to be killed.

And presumably there is some kind of genetic advantage to this. The cat probably doesn't know why it plays with the mouse or that the mouse is suffering. It is just following instinct.

An instinct that humans have is to project their own kind of consciousness into animals. We imagine the world through their eyes, but from a human perspective. So some animals are wicked, others show love. But it is really unfair to project human expectations onto animals.

Agreed. This is the most credible article on the subject I've seen to date.

No - see this is what I mean. You don’t understand what that data means. The options market for these stocks has become huge. Many people are long calls. If I am trading around my gamma, I will be shorting underlying against my calls. I can even be net long, even if I am short shares.

There are a lot of outright shorts. But there are also a lot of shorts for other reasons, and those people aren’t bleeding.

The vaccines did not skip any safety tests, they just compressed the schedule because millions of people were dying of a preventable disease.

At this point hundreds of millions of people have taken the various vaccines. There clearly are no major short or medium term effects (other than the reported, rare side effects).

Also you can literally read all the documents provided to the FDA concerning the efficacy and safety of the vaccines. There isn't a giant conspiracy, all the original studies and data are in the open.
> Are patents and IP even a good thing? Preventing idea or bytes from spreading, what kind of silly thing to try to protect.

The theory is: Nobody will invent anything if they don't have a monopoly on the idea. As if without patents, someone would have a great idea and say "I'm not going to invent this thing and become a millionaire, because someone else might copy it cheaply and become a bigger millionaire! Nope, rather just keep stocking shelves!"
Oh, you're right. I naively thought that the Julia code was written with static-size arrays.

But still, wouldn't even StaticArrays.jl create some unnecessary allocations and copies when written in the naive (clean) way? (for example, when calculating something like z = Ax + By, Ax and By are temporary allocated in Julia's case but you can avoid this in Eigen?)
I wonder if they are RYF certified.
Not GP, but I think what they mean is that most of gen Z has not yet seen a serious downturn with their own eyes and with their own money in the market. On one hand they have older generations telling them to watch out and that bubbles never last, but on the other hand all their own experience has ever told them is that stocks pretty much only go up and that meme stocks go up way more than "boring" companies with allegedly better fundamentals. It is a very human instinct for these gen-Z investors to trust their own observations much more than the advice they get from other people.

The argument is that eventually a crisis will come again (as it has done repeatedly every 10-20 years for centuries) and then the boring companies with big buffers and lack of risky behavior will be much better positioned to weather the storm, while many of loss-making companies in declining industries (yet with very high share prices due to meme stock status) will suffer more and possibly go bankrupt. That is the "weighing" part of the stock market boom/bust cycle as opposed to the "voting" part of the stock market that is currently exemplified by the stonks investing community.

I really like the idea of building TypeScript off of SQL types. But my ideal tool would be able to infer types from queries, not schemas. For example.. if I did:

await db.query("SELECT user_id, COUNT(*) AS count FROM comments GROUP BY user_id");

I would like a TypeScript object that looks like:

Array<{ user_id: number, count: number }>
Probably better, if they're good. But I suspect that it's a lot harder to find n-way relationship that are long-term stable, the higher n goes.

> or crypto as a whole collapses >100x. The latter would completely destroy PoW security

I don't see why. Security depends on the ratio between amounts traded and amounts spent on mining. A 100x price reduction equally affects both. Yes, it becomes 100x cheaper to rewrite history, but the proceeds of any such rewrite are also 100x less, so security is not impacted much. To wit, when Bitcoin was worth only $30, its PoW security was not the least bit destroyed.

And the pilots say it's something they can't explain, and have never seen before, on the record. More than one account.

Yes, this “pilots are trained professionals and therefore they can accurately identify a meaningful anomaly” does not match my experience of being a pilot or the training I received. It is drilled into you that your senses basically can’t be trusted. Your eyes and your brain will try to make sense of what you are seeing and feeling and that’s fine but it’s up to your higher brain to remember that those systems are often wrong. Your eyes will trick you and you have to use other context to actually know what you are seeing — information that is not always available.

Do you think there would be a perception that I (a client) paying 100% rate for a project where people only 80% switched on will lead to a feeling that I'm only getting 80% "quality" or 80% of what it could be. (I work in a creative industry).
I own the underlying and participate in the options market for these securities. I understand the mechanisms very well.
This is a deeper philosophical question than it might seem initially, and in the HN crowd the answer might be different from me than what you'd expect.

Most people here are smart, hard-working and aspire to be high performers in whatever they do. So when you have an extra day off, you're expected to use it for an ambitious side project, self-improvement, learning new technology or whatever.

I have a part of this mindset in my identity, but it's a source of stress. So after a bit of a history of anxiety and depression in my past, I've made the deliberate decision to relegate this to the part my attention that's focused on employment and earning money. I never let it enter the part of my time that I have for myself.

This means that my three days off are spent on activities I find meaningful: Family, seeing friends, reading, playing computer games, hiking/biking/working out, philosophizing, re-filling my social introvert energy. Occasionally flying airplanes in summer, skiing or snow kiting in winter. I always say yes when opportunities to do activities with friends show up, and this never turns into a stressful thing since I always have the opportunity to recharge before work.

If I feel like doing something more structured and ambitious, something creative, I'll do it. But it has to come from the heart. Generally, I don't have a lot of excess creative energy even when working 4 days a week, and I'm perfectly okay with that.

I always have a lot of excess energy for handling stuff that might otherwise get low priority: Getting enough sleep, seeing enough friends, handling any physical or mental health issues that want attention. That's a big difference.

Well two points, firstly writers often don't get royalties every show has a writer's room of staff hired for that season, they're paid a day rate or for the season and they don't get royalties from syndication or streaming rights - this was one of the major sticking points during the last contract negotiations between the union, talent agencies, and studios.

Which leads to the second point: Hollywood is heavily unionized. If we unionized our industry it would look more like the Writers Guild and Screen Actors Guild than the Teamsters.

> Can you provide some points on why the main premise(that there is still a large short position which is underwater) could be false?

I never said this wasn’t true. By all accounts this appears to remain true.

What I take issue with is all this talk of “naked shorting” which is a very specific thing and I’ve not seen any data to suggest this has happened at scale. It also fundamentally misunderstands now Citadel Securities makes money or even just options basics (the vast majority of retail are buying calls which means any MM will be long underlying against their short calls). It’s the conspiracy theory stuff which is nonsense.
That one mutation is rare, but it's an advantageous one in a society of workaholics, so there's probably a sampling bias: we're more likely to encounter folks with that mutation when selecting for high performers. It's also a single mutation -- there may be others that provide a similar, if more moderate, effect.

> Do software engineers really have leverage?

Yes, massive, but because of the unique mentality and system of values of engineers/nerds in general we are focused on solving technical problems and learning new things while the rest (management, RRHH, sales, etc) are focused on status and getting a bigger piece of the pie for themselves, so we get f*cked over by them very easily.

>How could we increase our leverage?

1- The single most powerful tool we have is fully sharing salaries and compensation. That drives prices up (and other benefits such as vacation time or equity).

2- Forming common fronts like low skilled workers do in unions or other associations that set minimal working conditions that avoid races to the bottom and exploitation (60hs work-weeks for example). In my third world country companies do this themselves and group in something called a "technological pole" that is just a gathering to cap salaries and avoid competing among themselves. So, they later threaten you that if you quit you would be black listed. (This resulted on a massive migration of engineers to other countries and to freelancing on the internet, they were short-sighted and not very smart :D ).

3- Tribalism. Start to see the rest of the other roles like they see you (management, RRHH, sales, etc). Other tribes competing for the same pie and act accordingly. Stop going along with the "you should improve your soft skills to make our job easier" and flip the tables and start to demand that they become better at a technical level to make your job easier instead. We are in high demand, they are not, simple. Make them work harder and learn to speak to us and adapt to us instead of the other way around.
I’m sorry you’re having a rough time. Hang in there, and if you move on, good luck!
I think the difference is the people buying tulips did genuinely believe in their investment whereas Millennials & Gen Z seem have more of a FOMO/YOLO outlook. The tulip buyers (or even the sub-prime mortgage backed security buyers or whoever) bought in to the underlying economic system but a lot of Millennials/Gen Z (and even some Gen X) see the economy as “everything is made up and the points don’t matter” so they figure they might as well try to ride the meme stock wave.

I worry historians will look back on this unusual market activity and wonder how we missed the generation backed into a financial corner by a system stacked against them who are clearly lashing out and in need of help. We’re mildly amused and sometimes annoyed but not taking them seriously. And I think the resulting financial frustration from these “meme stocks” will be even worse than the financial frustration that gave rise to them in the first place.
StaticArrays.jl will create arrays that are stack allocated and optimized just like in Eigen. There are no temporaries in that example.

Even if you used MArrays, which are small statically sized mutable arrays, the intermediate temporary arrays would live on the stack and thus not cause any allocations.
It wasn't useless for Warren Buffett...

It's hard to predict future revenues of a startup.

But it's not that difficult to get pretty close - looking a few years into the future - for big, established companies like Coke and Pepsi and GM.

The Fed gives investors a 2 year outlook on interest rates. In the last 20 years, they have only ever lowered rates by surprise - and that pushes share prices up. You're highly unlikely to lose a lot of money getting surprised by interest rate moves.

Sure - anything can happen, but historically, over a 3-5 year period, Coke's revenue and profit hasn't been very volatile.

But the share price IS much more volatile. This is what you arbitrage on. The people who are investing in the moment, when you're investing for a longer horizon.

Basically, this strategy is that the short term is much harder to predict than the medium term. I think everyone is in agreement that the very long term (for stocks) is pretty hard to predict.

Speculative traders like to talk about their biggest wins, but they're generally quiet about losses.

Sure, it's possible that one guy YOLOed everything into a single stock at just the right time, cashed out, and walked away. It's more common for these traders to make a lot of bad bets, then get excited when one of them pays off. The problem gets worse when these payoffs come in the form of black swan market events that the trader just happened to be on the right side of.

Or maybe I'm wrong and the meme stonk trend will continue forever, making the gamblers wealthy while the rest of us lose out.

Realistically, there's basically no chance of vaccinating enough people fast enough on a global scale to stop the virus mutating further and reducing the vaccine efficacy, probably not even of reducing the odds of it that much, and it's not even clear that the countries with the best vaccine rollouts will manage to stop it spreading at this point. And that's despite vaccination on an unprecedented speed and scale for a disease this new, using technology that didn't even exist a few years ago.
