I believe you mean Romani. Your choice of word is a slur

Bury the beans out back, in case things get really bad

There’s a lifetime subscription? Maybe I should be considering that too

Ahhhh forgive my confusion, thank you for explaining.

This is a GOOD TAKE by YOU. The big danger on puts is that you can AT MOST make 100% of the investment if the company collapses completely to $0. If, for whatever reason (the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent), the stock explodes upwards, you can be on the hook for WAY more than 100% if the stock increases dramatically.

Man, remember when the only company that did creative accounting was Enron?

Alas, the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

I believe the turn of phrase is “shit rolls down hill”

Yeah it’s terrible, studies have even shown that such piracy turns into a massive free marketing campaign for the box office release. When the pirate bay was shuttered for months, box office numbers dropped significantly

I mean really the whole thing. Security by obscurity is no security at all. Device search engines like shodan exist and seeking out specifically insecure devices becomes easier by the day.

Absolute security is achievable, but comes with costs. If I’m willing to airgap everything and never go online, only using my own code, my device will be safe.

Black box testing is MUCH harder than white box testing, especially as, and I hate to say it, AI based security scanners become better and better at identifying flaws in source code. Having more information about your target is always the first step in penetration testing, and more information is ALWAYS better.

The harder to obtain materials aspect, while long term relevant, is barely a factor right now. Lithium production has exploded and resulted in a massive drop in prices that’s making the main consumer appeal for sodium batteries, price, a non-factor and driving some sodium battery producers out of business

It’s not like MIT and the Harvard business review have published studies that have shown that AI is actually best suited to replacing executives and management in order to flatten organizations. But unfortunately, management and executives make the decisions on who AI replaces, and they don’t want to be replaced. Hell at the company I’m at right now they’ve been axing low level workers and bringing on or promoting the ladder climbers (read: AI sycophants who do the least work) to manager or department head roles, saying that us grunts can “10x” to fill the gaps, and that all we need is good and creative leadership to direct our AI use. I could go off on things this business is doing to shoot itself in the foot for hours, even without mentioning AI

This. And chromebooks are glorified tablets. Much less capable than a proper laptop, much less for a child to learn than a proper laptop. Google did MASSIVE pushing to get chromebooks into the classroom to get kids hooked on their platform as early as possible

Is this a thing? Because what comes to mind for me is “the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent,” which just happens sometimes

Yeah this is literally what happened in 2008. Economic instability stopped banks from lending to would be individual home buyers, but corpos bought up everything they could eagerly with a 20% price cut.

But it’s okay, because MY company is AHEAD OF THE CURVE on those 95% losses

Not to mention google has fought to replace real PCs in grade school computer courses with chromebooks, which are glorified tablets. Recent gens simply aren’t as familiar with proper computers as phones and tablets.
