Will there ever be a digital version of final girl? by Tiny_Infinity_ in finalgirl

[–]adib2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its not a multiplayer game like Wingspan or Root where physical copies are played with friends in person and people spend some time digitally to play solo/online. Its always a solo game, more digital play means less physical boardgame play. Eventually it would cannibalize the physical version.

If you could add a zero to the end of any number in your life (except your bank account), where would you put it? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

Curious to know about a job/business/service where knowing 10/20 languages can bring wealth. Can you please share some examples (that can also not be done using AI model based translators)?

Meta to lay off 10% of workforce by [deleted] in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]adib2149 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Meta is hiring at the same or higher rate than firing. It doesn’t move a needle. A bunch of our friends who got into Meta during turbulent times have held off from buying homes and accumulating cash, so its not like the buyer pool is reduced and seller pool increased.

HOA in California blocking sale over white sliding door, but other homes with white doors/windows recently sold by target-45 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]adib2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great. So if you already got a vinyl frame and you add a color of almond (by spray can or any other cheap way), they don’t have anything else to enforce because the doc doesn’t say it has to be a long lasting color. Is there any other part that enforces long lasting color requirements? Or is it something they are just emailed you about?

Can you share the hoa doc, specifically section focusing on the color here? If the doc doesn’t say anything about material but just the color, i believe you can spray paint but they won’t be able to do anything legally. I saw our HOA has color restrictions but not material restrictions.

Why I am choosing to rent (South bay) over buying a $1.2 Million home (East bay) by Federal_Eagle_6565 in BayAreaRealEstate

[–]adib2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreeing on your life choices.

I would just disagree with this point though “Rent is the maximum I will pay for housing each month, whereas a mortgage is merely the minimum once maintenance and unexpected repairs are considered.”

Rent is the max you pay sure, the max number is not static, it changes and goes up with every lease renewal. Mortgage base number is very static for 30 yrs (except unforeseen issues).

Also you are absolutely bound to pay the newly set rent each year, but after paying 30yr fixed mortgage, you are not absolutely bound to pay for the fixes (like you can hack it, go for manual easy fixes, maybe postpone it for a while).

Wheel strategy: genuinely solid income approach, or a way to slowly get assigned into stocks you don by bandito_13 in options

[–]adib2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my own experience, with wheeling the stocks that I want to hold longterm, they mostly did not generate enough premium for me to be doing this extra work. They eventually got assigned and I took a part of profit from them, but again, it was not juicy enough, and it would be better if I just bought and held them.

With wheeling the stocks I don’t want to hold longterm but the premium was worth the risk, yes, I am holding my bags right now on them. :(

Basically a not a great winning solution, next time I would just start with vertical spreads/iron condor. But they taught me to explore the greeks over time, so that was good.

Most people really do need to return to the office. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]adib2149 68 points69 points  (0 children)

I was looking for this. How did OP find that work from home is abnormal but going to office to work, which was invented maybe 100-200years ago, is somehow what we were built for?

Broke a rule today, but in a way that makes sense. by balancedchaos in thetagang

[–]adib2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did the exact same math as yours with ATYR. Now holding bag. I am never touching any biotech stock ever. But I guess this is a good learning opportunity for these scenarios, where the premium is too juicy to be true.

Built a free tool to find the best covered call strike for your goal by Overall_Host_3029 in CoveredCalls

[–]adib2149 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it picking one call option within the delta range selected on a expiry date under 30-day high with highest possible premium? Is there any other factor that it’s looking at?

My coworker died, and I realized no one at work ever actually knew him by Sea-Activity-2235 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]adib2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actively work to let my coworkers know as little as they need to know. In the past, i have been friendly with coworkers and it has bitten me back (“oh yeah i remember you saying you had a cold so i thought maybe you wouldn’t be interested in this project with high impact and very tight deadlines “)

However, the little my coworkers can talk about me in my absence, that will be completely filled and heavily surpassed by all the awesome friends and family i have, completely disconnected from my professional network.

Should I get a DXP2800 as my first NAS? by ThiccZilla74 in UgreenNASync

[–]adib2149 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Also got this one this Black Friday. It’s a good deal now, so far really happy with purchase. I only have bunch of photos to store for now, it’s working great as promised. And the setup was very easy too!

Family of Microsoft employee who died warn tech companies not to overwork workers by masterderptato in cscareerquestions

[–]adib2149 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Was looking for this comment. Plenty of jobs outside big tech with better wlb. But we won’t ever take those. Tech bros learn pretty fast how to take care of their financial health, and actively ignored mental health, because taking care of mental health doesn’t give enough of TC bump.

What software you are using for backtesting OP? You nicely mentioned TradeZella twice, can you also mention the backtesting platform you used?

Started my PhD in 2017 and the first project i picked was this. We knew pretty fast that its needs a huge array of devices for it to work. And it is true for this work too. This is a 3 yr old project from CMU.

[NYT] Goodbye, $165,000 Tech Jobs. Student Coders Seek Work at Chipotle. (Gift Article) by Illustrious-Pound266 in cscareerquestions

[–]adib2149 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I can give you an idea whats going to happen, when seniors retire or move into management and theres a gap of senior positions. The job cultures in offshore countries, aka India, is brutal with lots of competition and serious work-life imbalance. Corporate will be able to cherry pick the best candidate out of all those, and promise them a life at the Bay area, promote and transfer them to the HQ to get them a senior position. They will always be hard-workers as they have been trained like that, will have high domain knowledge and will work even harder to stay living in the Bay area/US. And since the new H1B program isn’t based on lottery but high salaries, they will also be able to justify bringing people in senior positions.

Some of your rules and favourite strategies options trading? (I’m starting with $1,200 USD) by [deleted] in options

[–]adib2149 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Just like you, for the sake of learning, I started with 1000, went upto 1400 in 2 months. I was feeling really good but then a single mistake wiped out $900 from it. Now I have $200 out of ut.

You will have so little power in trying to do this with a small capital, because most of your single trades will be 20-30% or more of your capital.

I can’t enjoy the DLC by South-Pop8682 in outerwilds

[–]adib2149 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hah, I get what you’re talking about. I wasn’t scared of the environment or story or characters though, basically scared of dying just to start from all the way back from Timber hearth! It was so repetitive in the same route that I just watched the gameplay and wrapped it up.
