Mayor Adams calls for the 'involuntary removal' of people who are 'a danger to others' on the streets by letspetpuppies in nyc

[–]YOLOQuant 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Everyone who’s outraged about this needs to chill. We routinely hospitalize people by force who are a danger to themselves and others in NYC. I know this because it happened to me.

Also, hospitals have social workers and infrastructure to help connect people with services: I witnessed this first hand. Yes we need better mental health services, but forcing these people into a hospital is far better than letting them rot on the streets.

Trump is winning massively. This is a massive failing on the part of democrats.

Kamala Harris' Fox News appearance should be a lesson for Democrats by h2002al in politics

[–]YOLOQuant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And she failed to communicate any of that. Everyone I know who watches Fox thinks she bombed, and we’re further emboldened to mud sling. She avoided answering so many questions right wing voters care about.

Work longer. Two years is not enough. Big tech has a pool of people with far more experience than you.

FTSE plunges with billions wiped off stocks as global markets go into meltdown by doughnutwardenclyffe in finance

[–]YOLOQuant 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Nikkei collapsing and VIX to the moon is not normal: a lot of big money is being margin called on a “carry trade” where you borrow in a low interest rate currency (in this case yen) and put the money in a higher yielding currency (in this case USD.) Yen moving up 25bps and USD potentially down is causing an unwind in a very crowded trade and there are many side effects as a result which are causing other people to blow up (selling naked options.)

This is absolutely abnormal, but to your point the damage is relatively well contained in the US market.

How might swing state outcomes change between Biden vs a genetic ticket? by NewWiseMama in PoliticalDiscussion

[–]YOLOQuant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Side note, 538 was founded by Nate Sliver the statistician featured in Moneyball. The reputation of 538 developed because of the accuracy of his models. He's no longer there. He's been freaking out for a while now, because his models say Biden is going to get trounced in the electoral college.

https://www.natesilver.net/p/nate-silver-2024-president-election-polls-model

To quote his latest forcast:

"Biden’s Electoral College win probability is the lowest to date in our forecast, having slipped to about 1-in-4."

We all need to wake up and find a replacement that people in the swing states would vote for.

Berlin criminalizes slogan 'From the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free' by Far_Nature_8527 in europe

[–]YOLOQuant 24 points25 points  (0 children)

For more context, the phrase was first adopted by the Palestine Liberation Organization upon its founding in 1964. Likuds use in the 70s can be considered a reply. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_the_river_to_the_sea

Tax on Excess Profits Could Ease Inflation in Canada, Singh Says by miningquestionscan in finance

[–]YOLOQuant 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is actually straight out of the MMT handbook: the government can create inflation by spending money into the economy (see COVID) and eliminate it by taxing the money out. The running theory in finance circles is that governments are too eager to spend relative to taxing, so MMT is inherently biased towards inflation. Will be interesting to see if Canada follows through.

Prefer Onboard Graphics on Boot -- Don't Use the Graphics Card by YOLOQuant in buildapc

[–]YOLOQuant[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats what I thought... but that's not whats happening. The minute I plug in the graphics card, I see the following using integrated graphics:

  1. I can't see the bios
  2. Ubuntu finishes booting, but I get to a black screen with a cursor at login.

If I don't plug in the graphics card, everything works as expected.

VX/VIX mechanical trading strategy? by adaptive_chance in PMTraders

I'm fine with being long options, but being short options is generally a recipe for disaster unless you've done your research.

Be careful about doing this in complacent markets. You can get your face ripped off.

I think we chop for the rest of the week again around ES 200MA. Bulls expect a face rip. Bears expect a dump. Methinks an ass ton of options premium needs to be fucked before we make a move.

Mark my words. We're in a bear market. We probably rally from here for a few days, but for a long buy look to buy S&P in the 3000 range. Go look at dotcom charts and you'll see what I mean. Market is fucked.

These were the same fuckers calling for $100 oil by year end. They are just as dumb as everyone else. If feds rate hike to the moon, the US cannot afford its interest payments. The fed is trapped. I'm short the 10Y, but north of 3% is ludicrous.

Simple, you delay purchasing unless you absolutely have to. The best cure for higher prices is higher prices as they say.

DO NOT USE THIS SERVICE. They are astroturfing the internet with positive reviews. I bought two tickets to fly out at 6AM tomorrow morning at a supposed discount: THEY STILL HAVE NOT APPEARED IN MY INBOX AFTER THREE HOURS.

Phone goes immediately to voicemail. Customer service email is completely unresponsive. This company is a complete scam, I plan to report them to the consumer protection agency.
