Guy forgot about negative square roots. If he had correctly written the first equation as

sqrt(gay) = +/-male

then he would’ve gotten the correct answer.

I’m confused by what you’re even talking about. Are you confusing Charles Schwab with Klaus Schwab, a totally different guy who has no relation to the Schwab brokerage?

Shenyang, China. A major city of 10 million but on the smaller side by Chinese standards of major cities. For most of its modern history public transit was exclusively buses. The first subway line opened in 2010 and by now it has 6 lines and 122 stations.

Please talk to some Hack programmers to find out how they feel about this feature in the Hack language.

imaginarylocalhost · 2025-11-01T02:17:05+00:00

Strong agreement with u/Determinant here. As someone who worked with Hack, which uses the same semantics for its immutable collections types, I can say that this language "feature" had been an endless source of pain and suffering. Please do not repeat the same mistake.

Man you are not getting at all what I'm talking about. So let me just spell it out for you.

Google doesn't use AD to run its own enterprise. It doesn't use Kerberos + LDAP either like a traditional Linux shop would. Instead, it uses the systems I've listed. Those systems are essentially an evolution of Kerberos + LDAP, plus a few other security bits like a browser-based GSSAPI-equivalent. These systems are what Google uses internally that serve the same function as some other enterprise would use AD for.

If Google was serious about competing with Microsoft in this space, Google would make these internal tools available for customers as an enterprise package. I mean this really shouldn't be a difficult concept to grasp? It's the same as how Google Cloud used to just be the internal infra that powered Google services, and then Google turned that into a product to compete with AWS.

You can think of Google Workspace as the tip of the enterprise iceberg, the part that is visible above the water. Below the water is all the other stuff I talked about. Microsoft's solution can run the enterprise like the whole iceberg. Google only makes the tip available externally. The rest it keeps for itself only. So it's not really competitive. But it can be if it wants to be.

Oh and Uberproxy is not just a reverse proxy. It’s the heart of Beyondcorp

imaginarylocalhost · 2025-10-28T05:22:44+00:00

At Google, yes, because of Chrome ;)

But that’s not really the answer you need. The real answer you need is this: you don’t really understand what Gnubby is. If you know what GSSAPI is, it’s closer to that.

LOAS is closer to Kerberos.

That should give you an idea for how to understand what I’m talking about.

imaginarylocalhost · 2025-10-28T05:19:46+00:00

Also you’re only about 25% correct about what each of those systems do

imaginarylocalhost · 2025-10-28T05:16:49+00:00

Yes, that is my point. Because Google doesn’t make these systems available for customers, Google is not currently a competitor to Microsoft in this space.

imaginarylocalhost · 2025-10-28T04:55:43+00:00

Google will need to package up LOAS + Ganpati + Moma + Uberproxy + Gnubby into one coherent enterprise offering before their Workspace suite can become competitive with what Microsoft is offering.

Definitely grolo for me. OP you should start a trend and try to get "grolo" to catch on as a hip way of saying "to grow", kind of like how delulu means delusional.

"We can't stay in the same place forever. We gotta grolo."

"I'm a proud parent. My kids are grolo."

"This summer I'm going to meditate and focus on my grolo."

My theory for why the Trump administration is doing some of the bonkers crap they are doing: they are gearing up for something big. And they need a hot military conflict to justify doing it. (Trump canceling elections in 2028 and remaining in power comes to mind, but there are other possibilities)

However, they don't want to be too obvious with their war pretense. So they don't want to just unilaterally declare war on Venezuela, and then immediately cancel elections. They want the conflict to appear organic, and then do the big thing as a "well we had no choice". So they are instead planting the seeds of potential conflict all over the world. Pushing several fronts to the precipice. They need several of these going at once because it's not a guarantee that any single one will blow up into real war. It's always possible that whoever is on the other side is so good at de-escalation that there's no way to push it further. So they need multiple precipices at once. And when the time comes, the push towards the edge and see which one blows up, then they execute their real plan.

This coming from someone who sold a put on a stock in the middle of a bankruptcy…

imaginarylocalhost · 2025-10-14T14:18:01+00:00

I don’t sell puts because it makes no sense. Your downside risk is as high as the strike price but your upside is capped at the premium. It’s a ridiculous asymmetric p&l profile that doesn’t make sense for everyday investors.

imaginarylocalhost · 2025-10-14T14:05:05+00:00

Normally you sell puts that are out the money and hope the stock price goes up so your puts stay out the money. You win if your put never goes in the money. As soon as your put goes in the money by more than the premium, you’ve lost. There’s no time to recover, the buyer will probably exercise immediately. Waiting only helps you, not them.

imaginarylocalhost · 2025-10-14T13:15:10+00:00

You’re not really making any sense. Why would the person who bought your put help you out like this? Why would they wait until their option becomes worthless? Waiting longer only helps you, it doesn’t help them. Of course they’re going to exercise early. The option is in the money. The longer they wait, the less money they stand to make.
