There is a good reason. The government wants to incentivize people to make long term investments into certain types of small businesses. You are very free to disagree with that, but the government often uses the tax code to encourage/discourage certain types of investment.

Also given that you have an investment that qualifies, it seems like it is an easy thing, but it’s a pretty narrow exception. It is a giveaway to the rich in the sense that any stock based tax incentive is a giveaway to the rich, but there are a lot of giveaways to a lot of people in the tax code.

I used to do technical writing and for some software that I wrote the manual and help system for, one of the menu items was misspelled. I spelled the word correctly in the text describing its functionality, but whenever I referred (so to speak) to it directly as the menu item to be selected, I kept the misspelling (this was the early 90s, the days of people saying non-ironically that they couldn't find the "any" key on their computer).
People can still click your name and view your account name#number. They can also view mutual servers and friends. I don't necessarily want people in two communities to know or care that I am the same person.

I'm by default a private person, I feel uneasy sharing my preferences with people (even basic things like music that I like) and I don't like these broadcasted social features. The first thing I did when installing Discord was turning off the feature that says what game I am playing.

Commercial real estate is very lucrative to local governments and it causes all kinds of problems with housing. We need some sort of a hard ratio limit on how many offices can be built fir a given amount of houses in commutable distance. It is sad to see all the baristas and workers commute crazy distances to get to their work. This is not good for employee well being nor traffic.

Generally, capsules that burn up in the atmosphere rather than landing are useful for boosting, but if you have to have a heat shield on the bottom of your spacecraft (and the docking port generally on the top), you can't have thrusters that point along the center of mass line of the station. Dragon's thrusters aren't quite so well pointed due to this problem, so boosting with dragon would be very inefficient.

- Microsoft introduced Jupyter notebook support for Cosmos (who even asked for this?) and it was turned on for all customers automatically February 2021

- Security researchers find a way to break out of the container running the notebook and get long lived credentials to other people’s databases

- The credentials can be used off network. I assume with the public Azure API.

Don’t let your intern projects go into production without thorough security review.
Dear @mrhichem - Thank you for posting this, I enjoyed using this. I've been selling theta for a while, so I can see how this would be helpful (myself, i use a python script to screen and change params via a json file)

Couple of comments:

- I also have a 9-5 and 2 kids, so totally understand how hard it is to do side projects beyond work. Congrats!

- The filters might be hiding this somehow, but I didnt find ETFs i'd expect like the SPY ETFs or GLD, etc, even though I set off all the filters

- The Strike should have a slider and an entry box ideally because some strikes go into single digits or way beyond the scale, the slider is too restrictive in 5s for low-priced stocks and the max is too low for things like TSLA

- The table header really needs to be aligned with the sort arrows, I cant tell which column i'm sorting on

- You noted that "Prices are updated every 3 hours" -- did you price out DO costs if you used real-time data from Tradier? I imagine you might have more bandwidth, but it would probably be reflective of a more active screening approach. I found good theta selling opportunities dont come that often and I usually look at the vol surface for IV bumps through the day.

- As a follow-up to the above, curious if you use it as a screener and then enter orders manually or auto-execute? Would you auto-execute really rich opportunities?

- Curious if you've actually made money selling theta. I've made money, but I do believe that just buy-and-hold would be more profitable in most cases because you miss so much upside on option writing strategies unless you have a clear band with high conviction
If MS forked out $400k for a security flaw, I'm not convinced it would be great thing for PR.

Huh. I was always told that Vancouver was a staging ground for Amazon & Microsoft folks who didn't want to or couldn't immigrate to the US.
It’s all about what you want to encourage. Inducing demand by improving roads has few positives, and after a while can cause more congestion than before the road was improved! On the side, it causes more pollution (until most cars are electric), is more dangerous for pedestrians and bikes, is space inefficient, etc. etc.

So cities should want to induce demand in other types of transport (trains, busses, bikes, walking) and try not to induce demand for cars.

> Under engineered code tends to be simple, straightforward work with a low blast radius

Under-engineered code can easily become over-engineered code, while retaining the appearance of being the former, as engineers keep working on it over time. It only becomes easier over time, as bugs are uncovered by users and then "fixed", as features are requested by users and then bolted on, and so on.

> If I get a task to "make the button blue" I'd rather do it in a repo where I need to grep around a little than in ...

In the kinds of codebases I'm talking about, you will successfully end up making the button blue, but then, either:

1. sth else breaks and you wouldn't know about it until later; and/or

2. a bunch of seemingly unrelated tests break and you will need to debug which button provider is auto-injected into which tests' setup routines.

>It seems there is always a visualization you can use to show the story you are trying to tell, almost like "p-hacking", but "chart searching."

Is there a visualization that tells the story that deaths due to covid weren't a big issue?

The only way(other than just making up numbers) I have seen this done is to look at the last few months and use the reporting lag to mislead people into thinking there were fewer deaths than past years.
Okay, let me put it to you this way, straight from examples right here in the city I live in and many others in my country: You and your neighbors get along in the small residential/commercial community you inhabit. Things are fairly peaceful even though otherwise your country is riddled with corruption, police that are WORSE than useless (they're often highly criminal and/or collude with criminal gangs) and your little community of neighbors is trying to get by and largely watching over their neighborhood.

Then, one day, a small group of thieves starts entering and assaulting stores, trying to extort people and robbing others on the streets, threatening more violence if people don't cooperate better. You try calling police, but they either don't show up at all or only do so late and never investigate anything worth a damn (remember, they collude, and they're likely colluding with your newly arrived local thugs).

So, your neighbors and you organize together and ambush these thugs the next time they come along with their attempts at violence. You catch and badly beat a few of them then toss them out into a public area where an ambulance can pick them up. It sends a clear message, the extortions stop.

Is this ideal? Nope. It's awful, but you want peace for your business, community and family, and what other recourse do you have? Should you and all your neighbors just spew platitudes about ideals of law and order while being assaulted regularly? Or should the whole neighborhood, as you say, apply for overseas asylum and wait months or years for a response (likely negative)? Maybe they should abandon their homes and everything else of their culture to illegally flee, letting the country sink further into chaos?

They mostly won't do these things. because they want a peaceful home that is their real home, and with legal options having been marginalized, communities and groups sometimes really, no-shit-no-other-option have to take matters into their own hands.

Maybe that clears things up about perspective from within a highly functional, lawful country that had decades or centuries before you were born to become like that, letting you simply enjoy it and criticize others who aren't so lucky yet.

You could also suspect that your understanding of evolution is not 100% correct.

Genes do not necessarily propagate in a population because they enhance reproduction. They can have no or very little influence but still propagate by chance. (Similarly, beneficial mutations can disappear from the genetic pool by chance). Lookup "genetic drift".

By the time the environment does change (which can happen as quick or slow as one wants), the lucky genes are already spread in the population and may turn useful or detrimental to the individuals after that environmental change.

Also, genetics is not the only driver for evolution.

Because even in the best case scenario, you’d have to wait a half decade before getting that supposed 200%.

That’s assuming it passes at all. A bill must get actually passed by both houses of congress and signed into law by the president. Until then, it’s vaporware.

And then, once a bill is passed, someone has to enforce it, and that enforcement likely has to work its way through the court system.
Not if constraining supply inflates asset values more than increasing it does.

Companies declaring 996 is good in a way -- helps you filter them out (or in) depending on your preference. I think companies pitching "work life balance" but not subscribing to it in reality are worse. Better to know the deal upfront.

FWIW, early in my career I would welcome 996 as long as it came with rewards. Now I prefer high intensity, constrained 9-6, but with high scale.

Infrastructure tends to be constrained and will likely limit one's speed to the speed of the slowest cyclist ahead, since there's no room to pass.

The other issue is that infrastructure doesn't take downgrades into account. So, while it can be safe to get up to speeds exceeding 20 mph (30 km/h) while in the center regular travel lane with a significant space cushion due to it's width, such speeds are hazardous with infrastructure. This means that with rolling terrain, the average speed will decrease significantly because one cannot safely travel at higher speeds on descents to make up for the time lost on ascents.

True story: When my brother was in college, he played in the University of Illinois marching band. One year, the football team made it to the Rose Bowl. The band flew to Los Angeles to perform and do tourist stuff. On the beach, in a fit of eccentricity, he started picking up rocks from the beach and calling them seashells.

He brought the rocks back to Chicago.

Our grandfather picked him up at the airport and picking up his suitcase, said, "This is really heavy. What, do you have rocks in here?"

"Yes," my brother answered.
>std::shared_ptr means I don't have to manage any memory; no more new/delete! (But try as I might to understand std::unique_ptr, I'm just not there yet.)

Eh? unique_ptr is just a scoped resource. You create a thing (or take ownership of said thing) and it gets deleted when it goes out of scope. Am I missing something?

It should be the first thing you reach for if you need to dynamically create an object (certainly way before shared_ptr).

Separated rail or river trails are definitely a plus for bike commuting. But infrastructure parallel to roads with frequent intersections and mid-block driveways isn't really that much different than riding on the sidewalk (with all the hazards that come with it).
That might be a bit over the limit as far as the insurance that they offer.
The way I see it, they're like a certificate of authenticity. It just proves that the accompanying asset (which can be freely copied) is the original work, by way of the known creator of the original work signing the NFT, and the NFT itself not being forgeable.
"... this is peanuts compared to the damages this could cause no?"

But if no one can succesfully sue for those damages, then what is it really worth.

The idea that Microsoft with its gargantuan resources cannot discover these mistakes and has to wait for "security researchers" to discover them and then pay them a paltry sum for their "valuable work" makes little sense; a more sensible interpretation is that the company has little incentive to find such mistakes because it has little exposure to potential liability arising from them. It needs to stage "security theater" to avoid reputational damage but does not need to achieve real results. Mistake after mistake, the stock price is not affected. Regarding an ongoing lapse in quality control that spans four decades, it has no skin in the game.

>Apple agrees to make sure the search results in the App Store are based on objective criteria.

I cant help but laughed when I was reading it. What were they doing before that?

I thought the most important part was the next bit,

>The settlement, which must be approved by Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers, comes as Apple is awaiting a ruling in a separate lawsuit, brought by Fortnite developer Epic Games, which seeks to force Apple to allow rival in-app payment and store options.

>The same federal judge is hearing the Apple-Epic case and a ruling could come at any time.

My guess is that the way things are going in these cases are not in Apple's flavour. And for all the court case I followed over years Apple tends to be the favourite in court. Rightfully or not. ( Some of the Judge are very clearly biased ) But Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers was clearly trying to get to the bottom of things. And asking some very hard questions.

Is this enough? I am not sure if Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers is easy to please either. And let's not forget this is US only. EU are grinding their teeth. Then there are South Korea and Japan. And China is surpassingly quiet in all of these.

Phil Schiller was right, if Apple were to ever change its fee structure, that it should do so “from a position of strength rather than weakness”. It was unfortunate Steve passed away soon after that email.

You are confusing a signal that showed up in VAERS and similar systems based on voluntary reporting, and a signal that never showed up, because the reporting was not strict.

So the system is kind of rigged to never show up with evidence of harm. Of course, they act when there is a signal that shows up, I am not sure why exactly they act, but I can think of many reasons, plausible deniability being one of them, like the observation that you are making, or maybe the people who are watching VAERS are acting in good faith (but it begs the question why any of the reports based on VAERS data does not take the massive under-reporting into account, and there is no strong voices to advocate for strictly mandated reporting)
