I'm not saying that if you buy an option that ends up OTM that you'll globally lose money, but in the context of that one specific trade you lost. Perhaps you're willing to take that loss in order to achieve some other…
For options trading, there is always a winning and losing side. Someone is always harmed.

The original commenter also made a random assertion: "doing math is not thinking." The person you're responding to attempted to provide a definition of "thinking."
Financial instruments are incredibly complex. It's very dangerous to engage with them unless you fully understand what you're getting yourself into. Other people have a huge incentive to exploit any weakness in the…
The issue with FFmpeg is that it's complex, so you need to understand what all the options do, but the interface is also complex, so you need to understand how to format what you want to do, even if you already have a…
The patent approval process isn't perfect. Had you violated the patent, and had Google sued you, you could always argue prior art. What would your evidence be?
They’re probably referring to the diameter of a circle. The way it’s written is unclear, but not necessarily an error per se.
A little known fact is that rental assets depreciate in the eyes of the government. This is why you can deduct depreciation from rental property on tax returns. The corollary to this is that damage to those assets…
> As a meat eater, I understand I'm the driving force of this issue. How did you come to that understanding? Did you dedicate your free time to studying the impact of meat eating, or was it part of your legally mandated…
Yes definitely. No analogy is perfect.
> and the biggest one imo is dietary choices. Yes, let's blame the consumer. First of all, the consumer has no idea how their specific spending habits contribute to an issue. For instance, an educated consumer (many…
Ah yes, I forgot that two wrongs make a right /s.
I use pen and paper as well, but rather than print out all the source code, I write down the call stack. A calls B calls C, etc. along with the line numbers of the call. Much easier than printing out the source and you…
We put our kid into daycare around 7 months old. Obviously every kid is different, but we're happy we chose that time. Around 7 months, our child had developed an understanding that we leave and come back, but was still…
Why? Having shoes that tighten themselves sounds cool and convenient. Personally, I hate tying my shoes. If anything, the technology has failed by being so brittle.
Roombas could definitely be better. Mine gets stuck all the time. The reason I keep using it, however, is that it cleans a lot of stuff prior to getting stuck, so it still feels worth it to me.
> Her idea was that some tech will change world so much that there will be 100X return. Is that really so different from the VC approach?
> Privacy regulations can make it very difficult for competitors to gain traction for incumbents This is an oft repeated argument that makes no sense. The point of privacy legislation is not to increase competition. The…
I don’t know. My school wasn’t very good, so I can’t imagine it was on any type of approved school list.
I got a job at a FAANG by writing a for loop to check if a number was prime right around that time. The solution was completely naive and the interview was done over the phone in less than an hour. This is an anecdote,…
What do you mean you know very little? You would interview the firm and ask them what the discovery process was like. You likely wouldn’t care about the gritty details of how they sorted the documents. More important…
I’m not conflating class signaling with intelligence. It says something about your worldview that you would take that away from what I said. My point was that college involves the exchange of ideas, and each student’s…
The biggest difference was that most people were interested in something. One friend was really into robotics. He introduced me to a lot of robotics concepts and he had a plan on how to pursue a career in robotics.…
