  What?

  Lot of confusion in this post.

  Buying a call or a put always has limited downside, which is the amount you used to purchase the contract. Now, it’s still super easy to lose your shirt, but far from the “infinite loss” parent mentions.

  It is much riskier to sell options. Don’t sell options. The one scenario that possibly has “infinite loss” is if you SELL a naked call. Many brokers will not let you do so.

  But most of that is besides the point. The way that you would make this play as a retail investor is buying puts. On Nvidia or what you expect to crash directly. If you think the whole market, then SPY. DO NOT BUY OPTIONS ON ALREADY-LEVERAGED INSTRUMENTS LIKE QQQ. It doesn’t work out like you would hope - it’s not extra leverage, you just get eaten by decay.

  15 choose 6 == 15141312109/(654321) == 5005

  Wow, I did the math thinking, no, hoping you were wrong, but 5k is right on the money. You must have done the math. Good show sir

  And so, I upvoted, hoping to appear a more refined meme connesuir than I truly was.

  Does it need to be physical? I’d expect data on a well funded S3 account or a tar snap account to live 30 years

  If you actually want to use paper… QR codes. The format is simple, broadly distributed, and has error correction built in. It’ll make the whole process a lot easier than trying to roll something yourself.

  Maybe something could be hacked together to fix copyright, but further complication there is just going to make accurate enforcement even harder. And we already have Google (in YouTube) already doing a shitty job of it and that’s… One of the largest companies on earth.

  We should just kill copyright. Yes, it’ll disrupt Hollywood. Yes it’ll disrupt the music industry. Yes it’ll make it even harder to be successful or wealthy as an author. But this is going to happen one way or the other so long as AI can be trained on copyrighted works (and maybe even if not). We might as well get started on the transition early.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I got a lot of down votes, but ^ is exactly the point. A man being raped by a woman is so far outside of everyone’s thoughts that it doesn’t even cross their mind when seeing an image like this. But the same joke with genders reversed would get people with pitchforks.

  I don’t think there was any actual rape here, as the comedian considers these encounters consensual. Which is the important bit factually. But if you couldn’t even imagine interpreting it that way then maybe you should think about why not?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨this lemmy?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Rape is a serious crime and jokes about it are part of the culture that encourages and enables it

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨In the US, is this actually the moment past the point of no return?⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s going to be a really shit 4 years. There could be a point of no return anytime along that based on a variety of issues, but IMO the most likely point of no return is if/when Trump moves to take a third term in '28. If that happens it’s clearly dead no hope.

  Because it’s buried in that Wikipedia article:

  Not a paradox. Tolerance is better viewed as a social contract - it’s not owed to those who don’t practice it themselves.
