If you do it right, it's not gambling. But you need to pass a test (proving you understand what you are doing) and have a couple of thousand dollar balance with your broker.
Keeps the riffraff from using the option market as a lottery, which might undercut the state run tax on people bad at math.
I forged my first work papers. At the time, you had to be 16 to legally work. 18 to work on school nights. Fuck that. They've got things EASY with scanners and laser printers common.
Useful a couple of years later, when I made some money making fake IDs for my classmates.
The point is they no longer need to collect two grand+ to buy a computer. Useable computers are available for $50 at thrift stores. All day long. They can easily skip the tedious dishwashing for minimum wage thing.
An out of the money put option is (more or less) a bet that a company will lose value. If you know a company is going to tank and you can point to publicly available information that told you that, you're golden.
An out of the money put will allow you to sell the stock at a 'strike price' (below the current price...'out of the money') at some future date. You pay a premium up front for that. That premium is calculated using 'bookie methods'.
Short answer: Legal high odds gambling on stock prices with a fixed downside. Better than owning 'shorts'.
Accepting someones cast off computer, paving it over with a fresh OS install then picking a up any language. There are many other options, but that one is close to free.
I washed dishes for two summers to pay for my first PC. Today, you can't give away much better computers, nobody wants them.
Don't know. Maybe code something? Maybe take a job as IT support.
If someone lacked access to a musical instrument, what should he or she do to earn his place in a philharmonic orchestra? Maybe, learn to play?
I don't think your question is realistic. It's not 1970. They likely didn't lack access, they lacked interest. Without a sincere interest, even if they get in, they will be miserable and mediocre.
The tool choice, the managers themselves, the work environment and the unspoken language of the staff.
IT is 'overhead', run away.
Javascript anywhere but in a browser, run away. Idiots are making technical decisions there.
No formal source control, unit testing or bug tracking, run away. Same as last.
Claims of 'agility', but obvious shitty, low pay team and scrum, run away. Self deluded, Agile explicitly says 'people over process'. Shitty teams just can't do agile, they do scrum or some other rigid 'agile' process ('cargo cult agile') instead.
Ignorant and proud of it, run away.
Hopelessness in the eyes of the most competent of the staff or just no competent staff, run away.
Broken performance metrics.
The big one: Constant firefighting, reacting not planning, RUN AWAY!.
The main thing though, is the manner of the competent staff. Identify those that have clues, watch their faces. Listen carefully.
If you could code, you could replace yourself with a simple 'script'. But timestamps show you are sitting there in your impotence, waiting to cut and paste, again.
I don't care what you believe. Because you are a moron.
I don't grow acres, I grow 6 plants (most years) for personal use. Everybody I know gets free pot. Everybody I know that grew pot for a living has stopped, market is glutted.
I also own 3 atom bombs, if you're looking for bullshit to callout.
34k$US/year puts you in the top 1% of world incomes.
You can make that with no school, an A+ cert and a bad attitude.
I'll grant there are a lot of people who apparently got lost on the net and ended up on/.
I'd amend the GPs claim: 'If you're reading this from the US and understand, you're probably already in the top 1% highest-earning people in the world.'
If someone can't code when a HS senior, they need to give up on CS. The ship has sailed. They are like an aspiring classical musician who waited until college to pick up an instrument.
Only exception is someone growing up in an environment with no available computers, say the 1950s or rural sub saharan Africa.

In Germany? 'Water' defaults to carbonated mineral water. Ask for a water at most restaurants and they bring you mineral water.
Who made that rule?

Half the 1% rate is average for Mexico, 60k$ is well above average for the USA. You don't know what you are talking about.
Mexico isn't all that broke globally.
Talk when you leave Clearlake.
I'm a dual citizen, I can work anywhere in the USA or the EU. That really has to annoy you.

Mexican per capita income is about $50/day.

Apple had tried and failed twice to write their own decent OS.
They bought Next after being asked to pay an insane price for Bee. Bee got a big old finger instead. Like Yahoo turning down MS, Bee did an epic fail.
Apple is doing pretty good selling rebadged NextStep computers.
How many out of the money puts did you buy?
Willing to bet all those 'cutscene scenes' were done in post.
The worst ('falling away' from the goblins) was in the first movie. I still think in movie 'game ad'.
Bet the producer had 'final cut'.
Goalpost move noted. Don't have kids you can't afford! Duh.
34k/person year is above the poverty line, in the bay area you'll be living at the far end of BART and sharing an apartment. So what?

$34k/person year is well above the poverty line in the USA. Sure it won't get you every zip code, but so what?
Also, full circle, if you are reading /. and make $34k, you should spend less time posting the same stupid shit, over and over.
By world standards the poor remain on the edge of starvation.

Never change!
For recent grads, if the answer is 'none' then the resume goes into the trash where it belongs.
Actual quote was from Genghis Khan. IIRC (might have been Attila).
No imposing heteronormative, patriarchal addition rules you fascist!
They're doing number flexable feminist social justice math. You should support them silently.
The point is that they ARE rich by world standards. You should travel.
By world standards you can be poor or fat, but not both. In America we spend a billion a year on free obesity related health care for the 'poors'.

I've met them too. Most useless people anywhere.
