Selling puts is not a short at all

You can still publish packages and pull them down as (pinned) dependencies all within a monorepo.

In that case it wouldn't be safe to use the app on a private network either.

Economies of scale doesn't explain why there isn't an option to disable the IME.

If a market maker sells a put and wants to stay delta neutral, they would need to sell shares -- not buy. Selling a put is a long position, not a short.

The announcement came after the market closed, didn't it?

For what it's worth, I use Plex exclusively on the Roku, and I've never seen a crash before.
That's the thing though... with chronic pain there is no end to the physical pain, and this fact alone can be mentally taxing. Sometimes taking your mind off your situation is more effective than painkillers. Chronic pain is a life long mental _and_ physical battle.
Re:Fighting the Borrow Checker on Monday January 16, 2017 @07:28PM (#13414256)
In the example given here, how would one answer the following questions:

1. For a given school, return all the students

2. For a given school, return all the classes

In the last data model given (the correct one), the above 2 things can't be done (I think) without doing something funky like enumerating all the Enrollments and finding unique students/classes. In order to modify the data model to provide the needed information, wouldn't you run into the same borrow checker problems?

Re:This year we can end the death penalty in California on Tuesday November 01, 2016 @01:31PM (#12848144)
Most people do not feel the same way. Also, the death penalty does not allow an inmate to choose death over life in prison; this decision is forced upon them.
you are also better off selling your old car yourself instead of taking the dealer's trade-in offer. That doesn't stop a lot of people from doing things the easy way and potentially missing out on hundreds/thousands of dollars.
You can do exactly that with Google voice

Re:The Free-Time Paradox in America on Monday September 19, 2016 @04:47PM (#12534547)
I don't think the article made an implicit assumption that more leisure is good. The article appears to be using self-reported satisfaction statistics:

"And these young men are happy—or, at least, they self-report higher satisfaction than this age group used to"
