I'm gonna start a series to debunk some nocive myths propagated by the software development industry, as you'll see, not by naivety but by nefariousness. 1) Theorem (Hanlon): "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity." When you apply the theorem in the specific...

That's a nuance that @terr has missed. I do a lot of programming for myself so I'm not mad at programming per-se. It's the continuous churn combined with corporate politics that makes me sick. Well, congrats! Also, 3'rd time is a charm :D

How many of you are professional programmers? Still working as software developers for a regular income and doing trading only as a side project? Or rather ... any of you still prostitute themselves? God I hate programming (for a job).

So any opinions? Americans told me it's disgusting. Boiling things in the first place as opposed to roast beef. I think it's the intersection of cultures what you see here. There's the "broth/soup" culture which keeps adding water to that meat as it evaporates. And there's the "roast beef"...

I am developing a capacity to sell trading strategies and I can handle up to $10,000 in turnover per month on my own capital at the moment. I make 10% of that, if they win, still at the moment. I'd like to extend to at least 10x that before asking for 100x in valuation. If interested, write me...

Boils for 2 hours but it's the last 5 frying minutes that count. "Only" 50 minutes invested and you have a fad tasting soup. 5 minutes extra and you have charcoal.

Hope you're not offended by meat :p Take 1Kg of meat: - 500 grams of pork neck (preferred because it has lots of fat in addition to muscle) - 500 grams of pork sausage (also includes lots of fat in the mix but also can include small amounts of parts like brains or liver) 1) Fill a 2 liters...

Understood, thank you. I'm not sure weather "selling premium" is an industry-wide term which implicitly refers to just the extrinsic value but I get very well what you mean. For me it's entirely irrelevant if I buy/sell an ITM or OTM option since it's only the extrinsic value that counts, all...

Tennessee woman jumps into frozen swimming pool to rescue dog 7,921 comments and a single one doesn't state the common sense: fuck the dog.

What's the difference between "selling premium" and "options"? What premium did you sell if not options?

Any idea who decides what the strikes will be for options? The market maker or the exchange? Coze I saw very strange arrangements: - Stocks in the $5 range with strike increment of $2. - And stocks in the $25 range with strike increment of $0.5. Actually I think I can test :) On Monday I can...

Think of IQ as a "Panzer Division". Sometimes a standard firing test on a battle-hardened Panzer Division might get "only" 90%. Which means 10% of those hard to find, extremely expensive guys are gone. If you think only "government" will think how the fuck that happened and compensate, you're...

There's a ton of those around, what do you score there? I score "Napoleon". ENTJ. IQ? Enough like d** len**th. Not enough when you make me an IQ test after a full night of 2 sixpacks + 1 bottle of wine and declare yourself unsatisfied it was only 110.

Anywayz, the initial premise about talking to a billionaire is real. Think talking to Larry & Sergey at the time when they were "only" worth $1B. I can to this with my "Larry", while he's still open to these discussions. And I'm not gonna talk to him about "how's weather". Shit when you get to...

Yeah. Woke up in an ambivalent feeling. On one had I wasn't feeling so well, in spite of all my experience on how to manage a drinking session. In my younghood, after drinking so much and waking up the morning, the first thought would have been "I don't feel like living today". But I have my...

Option traders selling naked puts are often scolded for being reckless and dirty speculators: "you assume unlimited risk!". But in fact stock holders (naked long stock, without buying a put option to protect it), also have unlimited risk - the naked stock position can very well go to zero too...

I think it boils down to how fast you can cover a loss from regular income (salary for most people). If you lose a month's salary, it's not the end of the world. If you lose a year's salary, it starts to look "not so limited as I thought". If you lose 10 year's salary, does it matter that...

2 sixpacks and a bottle of wine :P

It's not that much that it's "unlimited" as how much it eats into your net worth, when you're operating with considerable amounts of capital. If your trading capital is $100 bucks then it don't matter. You can lose 100% of your "capital", who cares? But your lifetime savings are like $200,000...

The castle.
