You'll have to be careful on this. You need to make sure you buy back your calls before executing a put if we enter some wild volatility. Many platforms don't allow you to automatically do this, which means you have to manually manage it. You'd be better off finding an ETF that uses a similar strategy, especially since you can gain some tax efficiency that way.

How would I go about making that kind of money? I'm planning on moving to London next year. My professional background is as a web dev.
Ambition is the enemy of consistency.
and is it aligned properly
I mentioned £200k because it's near the top end for a senior engineer in London (although not the very top). FAANG, some Unicorns, trading firms will pay this to a senior engineer. Bear in mind this is total compensation, so part of that will be in stock or options.

For engineers based in the UK that are shocked by this number I'd recommend reading this [0] article. It's about compensation in the Netherlands but the same principle holds for the UK.

Clickbait, but still interesting:

> The first reason is somewhat of a statistical trick. Cancer is a disease of the elderly. An estimated 60 percent of cancer cases are diagnosed in people over 65; that age group accounts for 70 percent of cancer deaths. Put another way, the incidence of cancer in people above 65 is 11 times higher than in those below that age. Europe’s elderly population is considerably bigger as a proportion of the population: About 19 percent of the EU population is over 65, compared to around 15 percent in the U.S. That’s the top explanation for why the so-called crude mortality rate is so much lower in the U.S.

> The reason the U.S.’s strong performance on cancer comes as a shock is because access to care in the country is notoriously unequal. But, it turns out, that's far less true of the elderly.

> Age 65 is when virtually everyone in the U.S. qualifies for Medicare — America’s national, taxpayer-subsidized, government-run (dare we say socialized), comprehensive health insurance program.

> More smoking means more cancer, making Europeans more likely to die of the disease.

It isn't. You might as well say that because Matt Smith's sonic screwdriver was bigger than David Tennant's that's mocking David (but it, too, isn't):

That paper, discussung Schmidhuber team's work on MNIST and traffic sign recognition dates to 2012, same time as Hinton's team (Alex Krizhevsky, Ilya Sutskever - now of OpenAI) was working on ImageNet about to win that year's ImageNet competition.

The scale of ImageNet (1000 categories, 1 million 256x256+ images) is far more demanding than something like MNIST (10 categories, 60K lo-res 28x28 images), both in terms of compute power and network architecture. Remember this was done before CuDNN or any NN framework software, and the advance of AlexNet over things that had come before such as Schmidhuber's DanNet (which the AlexNet paper cites) was exactly in all the architectural tweaks and optimization (incl. handwritten GPU kernels) to get a CNN to work at this scale.

The introduction to the AlexNet paper clearly sets out what prior work existed and what their own contributions were in taking it to this level.

https://proceedings.neurips.cc/paper/2012/file/c399862d3b9d6...

There's nothing wrong with Schmidhuber expecting prior work to get recognition, but his own work built on that of others as did work that came later. I'm sure he'd have loved to enter ImageNet in 2012, but Hinton's team beat him to it and opened everyone's eyes to the possibility of training neural nets at that scale.

I think that highlights though that a steady stream of decent paying gigs isn't a few hours "after the kids are in bed" sort of thing for the most part.

It feels like this was always going to be how this played out. Google being the world's largest ad company has a vested interest in ensuring ads are still displayed to users and once a sizeable enough amount of the Chrome userbase started adblocking it directly threatened their revenue growth.

To add to this, Joe Rogan is higher quality questions than, eg, CNN anchors while having on heterodox specialists, eg Robert Malone.

Joe Rogan also has lengthy interviews with major figures like Mark Zuckerberg or Elon Musk, which aren’t done by traditional networks like CNN.

Not sure if this is what you're pointing at, but I feel similarly about those who very much enjoy talking about new and different ideas/ perspectives, but are loathe to test out, live out, and integrate new and challenging ideas into their belief systems. It's more like, there's a relegated space in their minds for "ideas to consider and discuss, even agree with and champion," but that relegated space is removed from their core value system, which has no intention to be challenged, tinkered with, examined, and open to replacing faulty mechanisms and functions.

Seems like talking about ideas for some is more a form of amusement/ entertainment/ mental stimulation (in the same way recreational or escapist drugs can be mentally stimulating), especially if there are no outward signs & indications that a person is committed to testing out, applying, integrating, and even replacing formerly held and inferior ideas – a process which involves a lot of trial end error, failures, humility, perseverance, and delayed gratification. It might seem open-minded and intellectual, but if across time, there's no change in belief via deeper understanding from considering new and different perspectives, that then results in outward action, then all the talk in the world about ideas and perspectives is just hot air.

Maybe that's not Joe Rogan and his loyal audience? I dunno!

Now I’m trying to decide if you make it better or worse by replacing the == 0 with simple logical negation:

if (!(b & ~a)) { … }
if (!((WGPUColorWriteMask_Alpha|WGPUColorWriteMask_Blue) & ~mask)) { … }

if (!(~a & b)) { … }
if (!(~mask & (WGPUColorWriteMask_Alpha|WGPUColorWriteMask_Blue))) { … }

Actually, that latter makes a little more intuitive sense to me because of how ! and ~ are both negation¹, so they kinda cancel out and leave just the masking. Kinda.

—⁂—

¹ Fun fact: Rust uses ! for both logical and bitwise negation, backed by core::ops::Not, with bool → bool and {integer} → {integer}, since bool is a proper type and there’s no boolean coercion anywhere—so you would have to stick with `== 0` in Rust, though in practice you’d probably go all typey with the bitflags crate’s macro to generate good types with some handy extra methods, and write `mask.contains(WgpuColorWriteMask::Alpha | WgpuColorWriteMask::Blue)`.
Is it really a "caveat" when it entirely invalidates any attempt at causal analysis with this data? So much for "maximum truth". This is a nice data visualization exercise and descriptive analysis, but that's it.
When the transition from XPCOM to WebExt started, Mozilla made some big promises about the functionality parity about the two but failed to deliver most of them (and silently removed such promises from their official pages, and left relevant Bugzilla tickets rot (e.g. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1427928 )).

IMHO, practically speaking, the final result of WebExt isn't that bad, especially taking into consideration of the added APIs you mentioned.

It is the shear difference bwtween promise and reality that really hurts lots of power users and addon developers to this day.

Also you mentioned Treestyle as "most of the popular ones", but left out the elephant in the room, Tab Mix Plus, which even has its own Bugzilla ticket: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1226546 Gesture extensions nowadays are also pretty limited compared to its heyday due to the nature of WebExt.

In hindsight, these promises were just too good to be true, but people were believing.

And the story of extension support on Firefox on Android is way too similar to the last time in the Fennec to Fenix transition. At least this time, users just didn't have much faith in it to begin with.

A while ago I read that lots of people were upset with Joe Rogan for having Alex Jones on his show. I really didn't know anything about Jones other than what you see on cable news and Rogan I'm fairly neutral on. So I found an Alex Jones episode and played it. Jones came off as being entirely unhinged. It was not flattering at all. They were basically winding Jones up and then letting him explode.

People arguing here about US foreign policy or censorship are neither bots nor Chinese agents. I'm not naive in believing this.

> The CCP is hostile to many Western values (e.g. free speech) and they are a primary geopolitical antagonist to the U.S. It's not unreasonable for a mostly U.S. user base to see the worst in CCP behavior or be biased against the CCP.

That's neither here nor there. This is what I'm actually replying to:

> Did the article imply somewhere that China is unique in it's censorship?

And my answer is: maybe not the article itself, but everything that gets said here on HN (where the article got quoted) has that implication. In fact, your very answer has that explicit implication! So you are proving my point.

> Joe also likes to deflect ...

I think there's some truth to what he says here. For some topics he actually just does let people talk. And that's fine. But there are some topics where Joe isn't just "asking questions" but is actively pushing a particular viewpoint.

The first and most obvious one is vaccines. Covid has broken this man's brain. If you go back to March 2020, his interview with Michael Osterholm [1] was actually really good. It was one of the first I saw that recognized how serious this actually was. But for whatever reasons, Joe has decided vaccines are bad and he's had a parade of grifters and charlatans on to back up that view (eg Robert Malone). There is absolutely no evidence in the world that will change his mind.

The second is all his manosphere [2] content. He really rode the wave of popularity of Jordan Peterson in particular and really gave him a platform with no pushback whatsoever. The recent rise of Andrew Tate is just the latest manifestation of this (fun fact: Tate dated JP's daughter a couple of years ago).

The third is transgender people. Trans people broke a lot of people in a way that's reminiscent of 1990s era homophobia. Bill Maher is another example of this.

So a big part of Joe's popularity isn't just a "dumb guy asking questions", it's that he pushes very normative and popular opinions.

In my experience, it’s the opposite with Joe Rogan. His fans seem pretty casual, it’s the people who don’t like the show who are extremely outspoken about it.
I'm not messaging to you but to HN via E2E https connection.

Yeah, this is one of those cases where mean is really deceptive, almost to the point of shadowing the veracity of the rest of the paper, I wonder if they chose it because other numbers are just nearly impossible to grasp emotionally.

Ready to be corrected, as I haven't worked with DOS or Windows for decades, but I seem to recall ".com" is merely used for familiarity/compatibility and hasn't meant anything about the underlying format for a very long time now.

The Wikipedia page for .com suggests that 64 bit Windows NT+ systems can't run the original style .com files anymore due to lacking the MS-DOS emulation subsystem, so the point may be moot.
If the cryptocurrency weren't useful for criminals, scammers, and money launderers, then it wouldn't be useful for political dissidents either. The reason the undesirables use those technologies is because they work. Yes, bad people are going to use effective tools. Does that mean nobody should have them? Granted, I wish they would have just implemented Monero instead, especially since MobileCoin was (is?) unusable in the US. I agree they definitely could use some work on the backups side of the house as well.

I don't think that is the case. Lower pay doesn't have to mean low quality software. Albanian software houses suffer from poor engineering decisions. I've seen source code of outsourced software meant for Italian government agencies where sensitive user data is "encrypted" as base64. When the engineering department deems base64 as appropriate encryption and nobody raises an eyebrow inside the company, safe to say it is a sign of incompetence.

People reviewing the security of browser extensions should have the title of "engineer" at minimum.

Bear in mind browser extensions completely defeat all the benefits of HTTPS. If we aren't putting them through significant scrutiny there really is no reason for anyone at Google to claim to work on security at all. Extensions need to be treated as incredibly privileged code and vetted accordingly.
That's not necessarily the case, vendors have VMs that can spin up with encrypted memory so that only the person spinning them up can see what is in the memory. All AMD and Intel processors have capabilities for this. Just in case you didn't know.
I remember reading that they were doing this in the US as well during the very early days of the pandemic. If you happened to have Covid in the hospital when you died, you "died from Covid".

This of course was perfect material for the Covid hoax conspiracy theorists...
I've always just leveraged existing connections. I'm not great at selling myself, but I've done a lot of good work for a handful of people that ARE good at talking me up. Reach out to people that you've done good work for and let them know that you are looking for some side gigs. You might not get anything right away, but things could start trickling in. This has opened up a lot of opportunities for me.

For reference, NAD is an electron carrier in cells (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nicotinamide_adenine_dinucleot...). The (+) stands for a charge on the molecule. Roughly, it is involved in oxidative metabolism, among many other processes.

Calling it 'good for energy and metabolism' in one of those wishy-washy ideas about how the body works. It's not clear how adding more of one component of metabolism will affect how energy is moved around and released from food.
We had the same problem of grass growing heedlessly but solved it in a different way. We got a bio-fuelled autonomous self-propelled lawn management solution which intelligently solves the problem without the need for any programming, all it needs is for us to demarcate the area in need of maintenance with some special white band. Even though it is more than 30 years old it does the job just fine. It doesn't just cut the grass and weeds but processes them into fertiliser as well. It can be used autonomously but it is also possible to control it although the limited carrying capacity limits ride-on control to smaller persons - children up to the age of about 10.
