All of them have free options which would be suitable for a handful of servers.I don't like the puppet or chef architecture and was leaning more towards ansible and saltstack. I ultimately chose saltstack (it's open source as well). That is not to say saltstack is the best choice for you, it's...

For the security paranoid it's better. I saw the comment regarding someone at a shady hosting provider can just as easily take your drives, but that's not entirely true. In order to copy your data from a bare metal server, they'd have to take it offline. To copy it from a VPS -- you'd never know...

Ignoring the auto scaling bit, using an automated provisioning system like puppet, chef, ansible, or saltstack (my preference) allows you to move to another provider with very little effort. This time you're spending changing passwords, ssh ports, setting up fail2ban or whatever you're using to...

Dipping my toe into equities. I understand basic strategies, risks, etc. But I'm wondering if there aren't good equities services that do the screening work and make recommendations. I get a flood of solicitations... most want $2,000-$3,000 to sign up for a year of equity plays. Any...

The price of an option is intrinsic value + extrinsic value. Intrinsic value is the profit from exercising them. When you sold them, they had $0 intrinsic because they were at the money (exercising a $50 strike option when the underlying is $50 results in $0). Once the underlying is $10 higher...

You're missing some key concepts. You don't "lose" or "gain" on a trade until the position is closed. You have unrealized profit or loss. If the options are called away, then you have no outstanding position. Your 1000 shares were taken by your broker to satisfy the call options you sold and...

I can't name a specific course, but rather than trying to find education a specific trading style, I think a more valuable way to start is to find a course (if such exists) that teaches the mechanics of how ES functions as well as the underlying exchange. What I mean is, the course would teach...

I think you're missing what happens when the options are exercised -- you have created a covered call situation. The stocks you hold in your account are covering the contractual obligations of the calls. If your options were assigned, the broker could potentially use your shares to satisfy those...

I get what your saying regarding the talking. I think Slack is better than Discord, except Discord's voice is better. Discord does have both text and voice channels, so voice is merely an easy option. Maybe you see a couple people in a voice channel outside of trading hours and you just want to...

Having dealt with so many poor quality developers who take an excessive amount of time to do even simple tasks (and they end up bug ridden anyway), I don't know how I could ever trust a developer who hasn't sufficiently proven himself (preferably recommended word of mouth), to write code for...

Skype is not so good. If you're not already familiar with Slack, check it out. If you basically want Slack with quick and easy option for high quality voice "rooms", check out Discord. Slack has voice, but you have to initiate a call (like on Skype) and honestly it's quality isn't very good and...

Whether he is back, I do not know. I only encountered him when I took quite the blow. It was approximately 2008. My portfolio was not doing great. Only when in the depths of dispair, lost among the data, did his presence, while rare, show me the key to vega.

I used to think the pattern trader was a myth, but one day when lost among some data, I looked up and there he was. He guided me to safety and then before I could turn to thank him, he was gone.

But then it's not as good (scary) of a headline. ;)

Ever do a large project where you hire a 3rd party who then sub contracts out some portion of the project? If the company you contracted hires some incompetent contractor who then screws things up and you go and complain to the company that you hired, would you accept as a response "well, the...

Some will use this to propose price controls be introduced, but you know what high fares in these kinds of scenarios do? They get more drivers on the road to capture those higher fares, which then provides more supply to the market, lowering prices and accommodating more passengers. Uber needs...

I am far from an expert on planes. Hell I've never even flown in one, but I was wondering -- are there any large weight savings from going electric that would partially offset the increase in weight from the batteries? Certainly the battery itself is a massive weight, but are there any...

You may want to consider docker if you're looking for something to just run some process without having to deal with VPS administration in general. AWS simplifies this somewhat via EC2 Container Service (ECS). There are other docker hosting providers. There are other methods as well. Heroku and...

A lot of brokers support FIX. Unfortunately it can be an extra charge or commission minimums ($500 on IB for example). It's the closest thing there is to a universal protocol and since it is a protocol rather than an API, it is language and platform agnostic.
