notdarkyeton $70M in 60 Seconds: How Insider Info Helped Someone 28x Their Money

Sure great hit me with these but take a look at one of the top comments:

"Remember, kids, Clinton got a blowjob and Obama wore a beige jacket."

So you are going to post this in retaliation and not take a look at how useless this comment is?

notdarkyeton $70M in 60 Seconds: How Insider Info Helped Someone 28x Their Money

One of the reasons hedging with ODTE has become common for event based situations is because they are cheaper than those with expiration's later than the event date

notdarkyeton $70M in 60 Seconds: How Insider Info Helped Someone 28x Their Money

This is the most reasonable comment here on the topic. Everything else so far is either blatantly political and/or misunderstands market dynamics.

Unfortunately half the comments I read on here are becoming increasingly more reddit-esque. Users posting emotionally charged comments and speaking with an authoritative voice on topics they have little experience or knowledge in an accordingly Hacker News has become more and more useless as a news source.

notdarkyeton Is it safe to travel to the United States with your phone?

If you read the article, these people are not citizens of the united states...

notdarkyeton Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac

There are a lot of people who do not want their phone seamlessly hooked into anything OpenAI touches. Choice is important

notdarkyeton Generation Junk

For a new washer and dryer, get a Speed Queen. USA made. Commercial style motors. No flashy smart features. They just work and they last.

notdarkyeton The perpetual truck driver shortage is not real

Goalpost shifting

Lol -2 billion in net income is exactly what I think it is saying. Are we saying Ford is committing accounting fraud or trickery?

"It's super easy for a company to make up additional overhead above and beyond gross profits to disappear everything."

What about administrative costs? What about debt? Do we ignore everything besides COGS?

Dividend payments, stock buybacks, etc are not ways to disappear everything. They are ways to make their stock attractive to buyers, keep them in dividend indices, etc

How is this whole thread ignoring standard accounting and the reality of properly running a business?

notdarkyeton The perpetual truck driver shortage is not real

That Ford 23 billion number you are citing is Gross Profit, not NET

This number ignores expenses that are not involved with the product and cost of goods sold.

"You should really sit down and do the math on this stuff."

Before coming in hot with numbers and firing back I would check what you are saying first.

notdarkyeton Backyard Metalcasting (2018)

This is very interesting.

I have looked into getting a garage CNC, what did you realize after the home install that you needed a legitimate location? The size and sound of it?

notdarkyeton Ask HN: Why do many CS graduates lack foundational knowledge?

I think you really underestimate the intelligence of the average CS grad. No way the average iq is under 100. Even to get past the prereq's for a CS degree like calculus you are not going to find many under 100 (let alone going on to graduate)

notdarkyeton Researchers develop blood test for anxiety

Cutting out alcohol was probably the biggest one. The effects of alcohol on anxiety can last days for me. Low carbohydrate diets seem to really help as well for me. Minimizes highs and lows.

notdarkyeton How a heat pump works

I see this as well and it looks to be multiple people buying in to the campaign, especially here on HN.

Having lived in a new, high end apartment that had a heat pump for both heating and cooling for 3 years, I am very unimpressed with the tech. Running nonstop, couldn't heat/cool above/below a certain threshold. Electric bill very high. Clogged and broke a lot. If the general radiant heat and cooling from being in large building didn't exist, I couldn't see this working halfway decent in any place in the midwest. This might work for areas with less variable temperature ranges but for the midwest USA, not seeing it.

notdarkyeton Django Styleguide

Do you have additional examples of those simpler ways? I totally understand how Celery can be a hammer and everything is a nail type situation.

notdarkyeton Ask HN: What is the best podcast you listened to in 2022?

Been listening since episode one. This is the show I look forward to every week.

notdarkyeton Ask HN: Those with money-making side projects,how did you come up with the idea?

How did you market this and get traction?

notdarkyeton Intel says one of its 13th Gen CPUs will hit 6GHz out of the box

Which drive are you currently using? I bought the external Archgon drive but never got to the flashing part.

notdarkyeton Judge rules Facebook parent Meta intentionally violated campaign finance laws

Can you elaborate a bit on what you mean here? Possibly some examples?

notdarkyeton Observations from our Joe Rogan Experience experience

It should be pretty clear if you look at Joes career outside of the podcast. For 30 years he has been in the entertainment industry with stand up comedy, television (News Radio and Fear Factor), to announcing UFC fights.

He was one of the fist big podcasts and livestreamers before others started doing the same. Most of his initial (and repeat) guests are simply friends from these various industries.

notdarkyeton Retirement of Amazon MOBI eBook file format

Are there any good ebook services that sell books in epub formats? Typically I will try and buy from the publishers website to load onto the Kobo but ideally I can buy the epubs themselves without being locked into a service like Amazon/Kobo.

notdarkyeton Tell HN: Job interview canceled due to looming recession

For the Georgia Tech online MS, what does the process look like? If you wanted to, could you accelerate the timeline (instead of 2-3 years part time)? That is, take multiple classes at once? Are the lectures prerecorded and you only need to complete the required coursework and lectures or are you required to pace at the same time as a traditional degree?

notdarkyeton PureOS 10 is Released for all Librem Products

Their website clearly states that the Librem 5 USA ships in 90 days when ordered: "Now Shipping! Place your order now, get in approximately 90 days!". I had ordered mine in November of 2020. One year later and still no device delivered.

This either seems like a lie or they are having issues managing a proper queue.

notdarkyeton The art of caddying: What makes a good golfing companion?

These takes are extremely poor.

notdarkyeton Afghan president flees the country as Taliban move on Kabul

Why are people even downvoting this comment. Just the other day Biden stated Kabul would not fall.

This is a failure. Don't downvote because of politics.

notdarkyeton Afghan president flees the country as Taliban move on Kabul

Hopefully this is a reality check

notdarkyeton Google to require Covid vaccines for workers returning to office

These are all getting removed. I assume this will as well. Of course Facebook announced today the same requirements just now. Not coordinated at all.

notdarkyeton Google Drive bans distribution of “misleading content”

This is fucking embarrassing. I cant believe any of you put up with this shit

notdarkyeton Ask HN: Feeling guilty for doing the bare minimum at work

If you are venting this, you know its an issue.

Maybe the theory you should post instead of an excuse is that you are lazy and the skill you perfected is hiding that you don't do anything.

notdarkyeton Technology Saves the World

Please explain why anything said above is not factual rather than downvote?

notdarkyeton Technology Saves the World

"Moderna, a product of the American venture capital system, created the first mRNA COVID vaccine within two days of receiving the genetic code for COVID by email."

I love how the lab leak theory is now mainstream but everytime I brought that up along with where the sequencing came from I looked like a crackpot.

That email and sequence came directly from China.
