vix is approaching GFC levels - good time to sell some delta neutral condors

not exactly - circuit breaker was put in place after the 1987 crash, but the 3-tier system (7-13-20) went into effect only in 2013: https://www.wikiwand.com/en/Trading_curb

the only way atm would be to sign up for email notifications for any transactions, and parse the emails to get relevant data

there are a few issues though:

1. some banks only send notifications for transactions that are over a certain amount (eg BofA is >$25)

2. the merchant name is arbitrarily cut-off (based on char length), so you don't really get reliable merchant info

but what percentage of the workforce is actually working in jobs related to solving these problems?

i'd argue that the "anti-work" sentiment here is more to do with lack of fulfillment due to an epidemic of bullshit jobs, rather than not wanting to work.

the biggest wins w Kotlin, imo, are the sensible defaults - variables are non-nullable & collections are immutable by default. These eliminate entire classes of runtime exceptions and bugs (respectively).

seems like it only performs the search on the last word instead of the entire query. is that the expected behavior?

if someone's looking for an rss reader recommendation - i tried feedly, but inoreader is my favorite by far

BEAM (Erlang VM) provides pre-emptive scheduling

now if they can just add a compiler flag for "immutable by default":

Kafka streams can solve this use case fairly well - though setting up & managing infra may be a bit more than what you'd want to deal with for a hobby project

my guess is that they're buying put options on the shiller home-price index, at a strike price 20% below the spot price.

though, those indices are only granular at the city level, whereas during a recession all neighborhoods in a city don't drop in value by the same rate - eg for bay area in 2008, east bay got decimated, whereas palo alto/peninsula barely dropped 5%.

i did this for personal use a while back, but the biggest issue i faced was that the merchant name in the email alert was truncated, so it wasn't the same level of info quality that mint/plaid can provide (since they have the complete merchant name)

One could keep rolling the puts forward, though it would be a drag on returns if the market stays above the strike and the options stay out of the money.

the EB5 investment isn't backed by the government though, so a lot riskier than the loan for Quebec investor visa. Additionally, as the parent comment mentioned, one could finance the investment and therefore really only pay ~175k out of pocket.

I see what you did there

I’d be interested in this!

Southwest provides this through their “low fare calendar” feature.

If this was done to juice metrics shown to investors, doesn’t this constitute fraud?

Fork (git-fork.com) is pretty neat as well

Trains and buses don't solve the last mile problem

or twitter (and likely other social media platforms as well)

you provide your bank credentials to the 3rd party app, which forwards them to Plaid

Last I checked, neither Plaid nor the banks provide an OAuth login option. You're still giving away your bank credentials to the 3rd party app.

If a PR stunt helps a good cause, I'd say it's a win-win.

not sure about Android, but on iOS you can customize which apps have access to location data all the time (eg google maps) and which ones have it only while using (eg moviepass).

So if you open the app only to check-in in the theater, they shouldn't be able to access your whereabouts before/after that.

seems like you can get an electron app if you're on mac or linux: https://documentation.pagedraw.io/electron/

I believe the reasoning behind it is to incentivize long-term investing.

Though, it should really be a tiered system in that case - different tax rates for holding periods of <1 yr, 1-2 yr, 2-3 and so on, instead of just <1 yr & >1yr
