Do you have a guess as to what percentage of all volume is driven by hedging by options market makers?

It's just a numbers game, there's more Dems here (probably 4:1 given the industry demographic) and so you lose the popularity contest on a topic like this which stokes tribal sentiments.

Exactly, and no Dem ever gets deplatformed for these incessant lies that lead to violence and death. Shows you it's all an excuse to purge Republicans (liars though they may be)

It's especially reasonable when we're talking about changes in BMI instead of levels regarding a population. That can only be driven by the population getting fatter.

Wouldn't people have said the same thing about Hitler after the failed Beer Hall Putsch? I think Trump's allure is going to mostly survive this event, he will figure out a way to brand it as not being his fault or intention. I cou

I believe there's also a neurological basis as well. It's been shown that belief in superstition is predicted by dopamime levels in the brain. Likely same for conspiracy theory belief. Elevated dopamine levels leading people to pe

The person you responded to is largely correct, despite your aggressive tone. While AWS will act on anything that's reported, they are well known to do absolutely nothing in addition to that to stop the rampant usage of their platfor

Nobody is arguing that these platforms don't have a legal right to do what they've done. The only debate is about what they ought to do, and whether the laws should be changed as a result of those preferences. Regarding Parler: it

Nonsense. A former Democratic staffer employed by Facebook censored the breaking news story about Hunter Biden's laptop on the eve of the election which we now know to be factually accurate. This is a literal and recent example of what

Flying on 9/11/2001 was "mostly safe" because less than 96% of flights were hijacked. Also a true statement, but ridiculous. The BLM riots resulted in 19 dead, and thousands of properties damaged. It's equivalently

I'm going off my experience with doctors that I know personally. There's definitely a personality type or an attitude there that shuts them off to things that a layperson will bring to them even if it's based on good science

There's many bitcoin derivative exchanges which allow you to short, in addition to the CME's contract. Bitmex, Huobi, etc.

The upside of your proposal is that it'll create a very strong disincentive for this kind of behavior. But if we really can't attribute blame to specific individuals, your proposal is effectively collective punishment where indivi

It is absolutely not a fallacy, as Naval Ravikant points out, given the large numbers of slippery slopes that have played out in the historical record. I have no idea why the belief that it is a logical fallacy is so widespread.

TSLA has a P/E ratio of 1500. Even though they're a growth stock it's a generous valuation to say the least. The stock price has been driven up by (1) a lot of retail investors loading into the stock & call options, prima

Bitcoin is one of the rare instruments with inverted skew in its options i.e. volatility is higher when the price is going up. So we would expect outages to be more correlated with price increases than decreases.

Terrible idea. He's out in two weeks. Why stir up his base and invite confirmation bias when he's already out the door? That would be risking a lot to gain very little.

We need to prop up India as much as possible ASAP. Once China has a credible competitor in the manufacturing space, peaceful influence can be applied through economic means.

There's loads of Chinese and Chinese-ancestry developers on here, some non-trivial proportion harbor nationalistic sentiment towards China and auto downvote anything critical of the CCP. I've worked with over 10 mainland Chinese d
