Wow their economy sure is tanking with all that demographic headwind. I bet the Japanese wish they lived in Equatorial Guinea

Sure, but ChatGPT is magnifying developer productivity so demand for IT people will continue to decrease. Plus outsourcing. This is also consistent with the theme that more people are being pushed into the trades. Remove other technical options and you get more people learning to weld instead.
Re:Michael Burry shorts Major index in sizable bets on Tuesday August 15, 2023 @09:56AM (#37134065)
The VIX index, a mean-reverting proxy for risk aversion on the S&P500, is currently relatively low. This makes buying options, both puts or calls, relatively cheap. Usually volatility is negatively correlated to spot price of the underlying instrument (in this case the S&P500), but if the market remains flat and there's a significant spike in volatility, the position can still be P&L positive.

As for the convexity, assuming the puts he's buying are out of the money, his total position increases in $ value as it becomes in the money and vice versa. The opposite is true with an outright short.

He's not short the index, he's long the puts. Different convexity profile.

Voilà. It's almost as if democracy with universal suffrage is only a good idea under rather specific demographic conditions.

AWS is some of the most expensive infrastructure available. And people who break these things tend to rely on stolen CPU time.

The entirety of modern day Canada is saturated in arrogance and voluntary self-victimization.

Seems like we've come to a point where people's interests are no longer to be trusted based strictly on geolocation. If only Canada could ban foreign news sources

I tried your Twitter account but it's no longer available without a login, do you have a self hosted blog I can check out?

Gotcha. I didn't post that comment.

In fact, your comparison about walking and chewing gum vs people's attention makes zero sense. Attention is finite, you can only look at one thing at once

If it makes you feel any better, most people worldwide don't get a say over what the United States really wants. Even the men.

Since you keep referring to an original comment, I unfortunately must ask which comment you're talking about
Re:We Are All Animals at Night on Sunday August 06, 2023 @06:36PM (#37027624)
The point of my comment is that it's almost as if we weren't constantly bombarded by how unfair current men are to women, we would start reflecting about these inconvenient legacies instead

I see. I must have been mistaken then because I've always assumed the gap between a Dutch man and a Dutch woman was narrower than that between a Dutch man and a Khoikhoi man
