reminder that the market can stay stupid way longer than you can hold open a bet against it. this tends to confuse a lot of libertarians and other people who believe in the existence of a rational free market.

naked shorts are unlimited downside, by definition you're risking more than you can afford to lose. puts are a much safer bet, also there's no chance of it getting squeezed out of your position if the stock goes up before it goes down (just as long as it does eventually go down before your option expires)

the private box is the worst part like, not only are you going to a stadium to see something you could watch exactly the same at home, but on top of that you're paying extra to avoid the experience of being in a crowd all watching the same thing, and instead trying to recreate what it's like watching it in a private setting

i wonder if a company could issue a press release that was 100% truthful with the facts, but phrased things in such a way that all the analysis bots would guess wrong (the answer is almost certainly "yes", but since you'd be loving with rich people's money it probably wouldn't end well for you)

with regards to all the different "and this thing, and this thing, and this thing" sections, it's to do with how patent litigation works suppose you wrote a patent that patented "a helmet light that lights up the back of your helmet when you brake, by means of a wire connected to the brake drum". that patent then wouldn't stop someone from building the same thing but attaching the wire to the brake lever, or by using a radio signal, or anything like that. so patents are written more like "a light affixed to to the back of a helmet" "that lights up when the rider brakes" "by means of an electrical wire" "attached to the brake drum" as four separate clauses. the earliest (and most general) clauses are unlikely to be patentable (prior art, obviousness, etc.), the latest (and most specific) clauses could conceivably be worked around, but somewhere in the middle is the magic combination of clauses that's novel and specific enough to be patentable while still general enough to apply to whatever you're suing over.

batteries heat up when you draw power from them if you go full-out on the acceleration for too long, the car will aggressively cap your acceleration to prevent you from overheating them i'm sure it's a great car if you want to do a single drag race and then just stand around showing it off for an hour while the batteries cool down

you'd need a decent amount of clout to make that work though. like, being able to say "working from home today, weather's too cloudy" regardless of what's lined up in your calendar. the alternative is you start flying even when you really shouldn't because you've got an important meeting to get to, which is how a pretty substantial number of fatal accident reports start.
