It is the best strategy for someone who does not do this full-time (and for many people who do!). That is the point. A trader with experience, working in a firm with deep pockets and terabytes of historical data and FPGAs that can execute

Option trading is notoriously difficult. HFTs simply don't take a position at all: they build portfolios that are as neutral as possible in every measure (not only delta, but in vol, its higher order terms, higher order delta terms, et

"Too much thought into whether they could, and not enough thought on whether they should" could be the motto of the vast majority of AI products. Algorithmic social media has already destroyed our attention spans. ChatGPT is in th

The ridiculously _opaque_ and un-democratic EU wants your messages to be _transparent_. It's almost too on the nose to be satire.

I'm disappointed about your resigned, almost subservient tone. This company is profiting immensely off of your work, and they don't even give you the courtesy of a job interview? ~~Have you considered a copyleft licence like LGP

I guess the author can learn their lesson and not use a permissive software license which lets behemoth corporations do exactly this. It's very sad, but the resigned and almost subservient tone of the author does not lead me to belie

Well, agreed, but nobody said anything about 60min exams x) In fact I don't remember ever having an exam at uni that was less than 2h. I agree that open-book exams, or at least a closed-book portion followed by an open-book portion, is

It's a multimillion dollar business entirely dedicated to the enterprise of selling Blackboard to schools. With the side-effect of producing a terrible piece of software.

Also known as the Blackboard problem... It has to be the worst software I ever had the misfortune of using, because the people who choose it (admins) are not the ones who have to use it (profs and students.

> are not very expensive things compared to the value many people assign to a life lost, even in expected value terms. It's worse than that. It's not even that "it's not expensive", it actually saves you money

It's a failure of law and regulation that those things are even allowed. Their existence is a direct attack on the freedom of third parties.

You don't see why people might feel something (including guilt) upon realising most of their place in life comes from luck and factors beyond their control?
861.
by andrepd 1y ago
What on earth are you talking about? The text you quote says literally "wallowing in guilt over it would do nothing" and you're asking "How does luck deserve the feeling of guilt?"??? Surely I'm missing somethi

The commenter talked about new projects, why are you talking about the web browser and the OS?

Yes, your "pure" capitalism tends to do that. Kinda similar to the people who say of the SU "but it was not true communism".

by andrepd 1y ago
Yes, and when it does that's it, forever. Because the EU """parliament""" cannot propose laws, meaning it cannot repeal existing laws either. It's like the IRA said to Thatcher: you have to be lucky e

There's substantial friction for making such a purchase. A scheme sort of like flattr, where you would top up your account with a fixed 5-10$ monthly, and then simply hit a button to pay the website and unlock the content, would have m
