sixers2329··on The Black-Scholes/Merton equation [video]
What I never fully understood is there’s a free parameter in the equation (Implied Volatility)- which has no solid definition besides “the number that makes the rest of the equation work”. At that point… how much value are you really getting from the rest of the equation?
sixers2329··on Ask HN: Thoughts on new GitHub layout?
The releases on the sidebar is handy, but something about the top of the page feels... disconnected. I think I’d like the “about” section at the top rather than in the sidebar. Getting rid of the double nav is a good improvement.

The non-centered readme is a little triggering, but maybe I just need to get used to it

sixers2329··on Valve releases Steam Controller CAD geometry so you can mod it
This is actually really awesome- one of my biggest complaints with the steam controller was how the build quality of it felt a little "cheap" (i.e. light & plastic-y when compared to an xbox controller). The technology inside the controller is superb, and I think they had to sacrifice a little on build quality to bring it down to that ~50$ price range.

Very interested to see what kind of crazy improvements the community develops.
