Re:$70M in 60 Seconds: How Insider Info Helped Someone 28x Their Money
on Saturday April 12, 2025 @09:37AM (#43664261)
This is a useless comment and further evidence that hacker news has lost its way. What does this add to the conversation? Hacker news is starting to show its political bias that this is not downvoted out of the conversation. This is reddit tier drivel.

Sure great hit me with these but take a look at one of the top comments:
"Remember, kids, Clinton got a blowjob and Obama wore a beige jacket."

So you are going to post this in retaliation and not take a look at how useless this comment is?

One of the reasons hedging with ODTE has become common for event based situations is because they are cheaper than those with expiration's later than the event date

This is the most reasonable comment here on the topic. Everything else so far is either blatantly political and/or misunderstands market dynamics.
Unfortunately half the comments I read on here are becoming increasingly more reddit-esque. Users posting emotionally charged comments and speaking with an authoritative voice on topics they have little experience or knowledge in an accordingly Hacker News has become more and more useless as a news source.

Goalpost shifting
Lol -2 billion in net income is exactly what I think it is saying. Are we saying Ford is committing accounting fraud or trickery?
"It's super easy for a company to make up additional overhead above and beyond gross profits to disappear everything."
What about administrative costs? What about debt? Do we ignore everything besides COGS?
Dividend payments, stock buybacks, etc are not ways to disappear everything. They are ways to make their stock attractive to buyers, keep them in dividend indices, etc
How is this whole thread ignoring standard accounting and the reality of properly running a business?
Re:The perpetual truck driver shortage is not real

That Ford 23 billion number you are citing is Gross Profit, not NET
This number ignores expenses that are not involved with the product and cost of goods sold.

Re:Ask HN: Why do many CS graduates lack foundational knowledge?
on Monday March 20, 2023 @08:26AM (#35230518)
I think you really underestimate the intelligence of the average CS grad. No way the average iq is under 100. Even to get past the prereq's for a CS degree like calculus you are not going to find many under 100 (let alone going on to graduate)

Cutting out alcohol was probably the biggest one. The effects of alcohol on anxiety can last days for me. Low carbohydrate diets seem to really help as well for me. Minimizes highs and lows.
Re:How a Heat Pump Works
on Friday February 10, 2023 @09:27AM (#34739990)
I see this as well and it looks to be multiple people buying in to the campaign, especially here on HN.
Having lived in a new, high end apartment that had a heat pump for both heating and cooling for 3 years, I am very unimpressed with the tech. Running nonstop, couldn't heat/cool above/below a certain threshold. Electric bill very high. Clogged and broke a lot. If the general radiant heat and cooling from being in large building didn't exist, I couldn't see this working halfway decent in any place in the midwest. This might work for areas with less variable temperature ranges but for the midwest USA, not seeing it.

It should be pretty clear if you look at Joes career outside of the podcast. For 30 years he has been in the entertainment industry with stand up comedy, television (News Radio and Fear Factor), to announcing UFC fights.
He was one of the fist big podcasts and livestreamers before others started doing the same. Most of his initial (and repeat) guests are simply friends from these various industries.

Are there any good ebook services that sell books in epub formats? Typically I will try and buy from the publishers website to load onto the Kobo but ideally I can buy the epubs themselves without being locked into a service like Amazon/Kobo.

For the Georgia Tech online MS, what does the process look like? If you wanted to, could you accelerate the timeline (instead of 2-3 years part time)? That is, take multiple classes at once? Are the lectures prerecorded and you only need to complete the required coursework and lectures or are you required to pace at the same time as a traditional degree?

Their website clearly states that the Librem 5 USA ships in 90 days when ordered: "Now Shipping! Place your order now, get in approximately 90 days!". I had ordered mine in November of 2020. One year later and still no device delivered.
This either seems like a lie or they are having issues managing a proper queue.

This is a failure. Don't downvote because of politics.
