Product Design Trends in 2024 | Teenage EngineeringsPixeldarts
The realm of product design is a constantly changing environment where technology and style intersect. Every year introduces fresh challenges and exciting trends that mold the future of this captivating art form. In this piece, we delve into the significant trends set to influence the look and functionality of product design in the year 2024.
How Race, Age and Gender Shape Attitudes Towards Mental HealthThinkNow
Mental health has been in the news quite a bit lately. Dozens of U.S. states are currently suing Meta for contributing to the youth mental health crisis by inserting addictive features into their products, while the U.S. Surgeon General is touring the nation to bring awareness to the growing epidemic of loneliness and isolation. The country has endured periods of low national morale, such as in the 1970s when high inflation and the energy crisis worsened public sentiment following the Vietnam War. The current mood, however, feels different. Gallup recently reported that national mental health is at an all-time low, with few bright spots to lift spirits.
To better understand how Americans are feeling and their attitudes towards mental health in general, ThinkNow conducted a nationally representative quantitative survey of 1,500 respondents and found some interesting differences among ethnic, age and gender groups.
Technology
For example, 52% agree that technology and social media have a negative impact on mental health, but when broken out by race, 61% of Whites felt technology had a negative effect, and only 48% of Hispanics thought it did.
While technology has helped us keep in touch with friends and family in faraway places, it appears to have degraded our ability to connect in person. Staying connected online is a double-edged sword since the same news feed that brings us pictures of the grandkids and fluffy kittens also feeds us news about the wars in Israel and Ukraine, the dysfunction in Washington, the latest mass shooting and the climate crisis.
Hispanics may have a built-in defense against the isolation technology breeds, owing to their large, multigenerational households, strong social support systems, and tendency to use social media to stay connected with relatives abroad.
Age and Gender
When asked how individuals rate their mental health, men rate it higher than women by 11 percentage points, and Baby Boomers rank it highest at 83%, saying it’s good or excellent vs. 57% of Gen Z saying the same.
Gen Z spends the most amount of time on social media, so the notion that social media negatively affects mental health appears to be correlated. Unfortunately, Gen Z is also the generation that’s least comfortable discussing mental health concerns with healthcare professionals. Only 40% of them state they’re comfortable discussing their issues with a professional compared to 60% of Millennials and 65% of Boomers.
Race Affects Attitudes
As seen in previous research conducted by ThinkNow, Asian Americans lag other groups when it comes to awareness of mental health issues. Twenty-four percent of Asian Americans believe that having a mental health issue is a sign of weakness compared to the 16% average for all groups. Asians are also considerably less likely to be aware of mental health services in their communities (42% vs. 55%) and most likely to seek out information on social media (51% vs. 35%).
AI Trends in Creative Operations 2024 by Artwork Flow.pdfmarketingartwork
Creative operations teams expect increased AI use in 2024. Currently, over half of tasks are not AI-enabled, but this is expected to decrease in the coming year. ChatGPT is the most popular AI tool currently. Business leaders are more actively exploring AI benefits than individual contributors. Most respondents do not believe AI will impact workforce size in 2024. However, some inhibitions still exist around AI accuracy and lack of understanding. Creatives primarily want to use AI to save time on mundane tasks and boost productivity.
Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

Google's Just Not That Into You: Understanding Core Updates & Search IntentLily Ray
1. Core updates from Google periodically change how its algorithms assess and rank websites and pages. This can impact rankings through shifts in user intent, site quality issues being caught up to, world events influencing queries, and overhauls to search like the E-A-T framework.
2. There are many possible user intents beyond just transactional, navigational and informational. Identifying intent shifts is important during core updates. Sites may need to optimize for new intents through different content types and sections.
3. Responding effectively to core updates requires analyzing "before and after" data to understand changes, identifying new intents or page types, and ensuring content matches appropriate intents across video, images, knowledge graphs and more.

4 Reasons Why Options Trading May Be Dangerous to Your Health
1. Essential Lessons- Option Income Strategies are Dangerous to your Financial Health
By Richard Wiegand, founder of ProActInvest.net
This blog post is an excerpt from the Essential Lessons of Investing Series
Lesson 15 Why Options Income Strategies are Dangerous to Your Financial Health
Whoever named these derivative instruments “options” had a cruel sense of humor. They
feel a lot more like shackles… - any options trader
The so-called option gurus make it seem like a no-brainer. "8-10% per month consistent income
selling time," "Laugh all the way to the bank with couch potato option selling strategies," etc.,
etc. Yet many experienced traders would argue that option selling strategies are dangerous to
your financial health. For traders and swing to intermediate-term trading system developers with
a competitive model, it's actually far better to be an option buyer than an option seller. This blog
post will attempt to explain why.
A little personal background
When I was much younger, I returned from Paris to co-manage an emerging markets bond
portfolio with a hedge fund in New York and learned many lessons simply by keeping my eyes
and ears open. This hedge fund was run by ex-Salomon Brothers directors and equity traders.
They were really good at managing stock portfolios –generating in excess of 30% average annual
returns. One of the things that struck me most was that the hedge fund completely avoided
options trading almost completely – no directional or “delta” plays, no time decay or ”theta”
plays – not even option hedging strategies like protective puts or collars.
At first, I thought that this was because they were kind of old school and needed to hire some
fresh blood in order to get up to speed on the greeks. But over the years, I began to realize why
the New York hedge fund that I worked for many moons ago firmly decided to avoid complex
options strategies. The Paris-based hedge fund that I worked for also cut back on options income
trading because those accounts were going nowhere. The head options trader at the Paris hedge
fund sat just across from me – he was well-educated and had superior quantitative-analytical
skills. He liked to put on calendar spreads – where he essentially tried to buy implied volatility
(IV) when it was cheap and sell it when IV was rich. Since the accounts that he managed were
essentially going nowhere, he was asked to stop. In all my years in the industry, I have yet to
meet someone who has consistently made money with option income strategies over a prolonged
period of time (say over a 7-10 year period).
I began to think to myself, “heck, I’m a pretty experienced trader and model developer guy.
Imagine what all those option newbies must be going through as they embark on the treacherous
road of options income trading!” I realized that I simply had to get the word out about how
dangerous options income trading is.
2. What exactly are option income or option selling strategies? Briefly said, option income
strategies are designed to take advantage of the time decay of options by collecting (and
hopefully keeping) the premium sold. Theta is the options greek that has to do with the decay of
time value as you approach expiration. The time decay of options is a mathematical certainty,
and the rate of decay increases exponentially as you approach the expiration date. It is said that
70% of all options contracts expire worthless. So everyone should be an options seller (or
writer), right?
We'd all be pretty stinking rich if this were the case. In practice, there's tremendous skill,
experience, capital and psychological fortitude required to manage the risk of an options selling
strategy. In addition, what many of those sleek options mentoring courses don't tell you is that
there's a huge difference between the probability of keeping premium at expiration, versus the
probably of touching a stop level during the life of the option.
Some of the most popular option income (or selling) strategies include:
credit income spreads
: bull puts, bear calls, iron condors, butterflies, covered calls (or covered writes),
and naked call/put selling. Credit spreads entail buying a call (put) and selling
another call (put) simultaneously for a net credit (taking in more premium than
paying out).
debit income spreads: calendars, diagonals and double diagonals. Debit spreads entail buying a
call (put) and selling another call (put) simultaneously for a net debit (taking in less premium
than paying out).
What all these income options strategies have in common (probably best seen graphically), is
that they all try to build some sort of a roof-top over the underlying price movement in an effort
to contain the price action. In return for a supposedly high probability range of limited income
(about 6.7% of the margin requirement), you are subject to the potential for some pretty
3. precipitous losses at the wings (anywhere from -12% to -100% of the margin requirement). This
lop-sided potential for losses at the wings is typical of option income strategies and is what
makes them so dangerous. As an example, the iron condor (as shown below) is designed to profit
from prices staying inside the price range of the two short strikes (the short 118 put and the short
130 call). In this example, the 118-130 range is the roof-top that is typical of options income
strategies.
These strikes were selected based on the 68% probability range at expiration. Doesn't the iron
condor strategy vaguely remind you of the normal distribution bell curve?
It should. High probability
trades are supposedly what attract option income traders, because the expectation is that prices
4. will stay inside the +/- 1 standard deviation range with 68% probability. Many options traders
overlook this to mean that there's a 68% probability that the price action will not penetrate the
118-130 (short strikes) range during the life of these 1 month options. However, the probability
that prices will not penetrate the roof-top range during the life of the options is actually
31%, not 68%! There is a big difference between where prices will be at expiration vs. during
the life of the option. If you factor in the probability of penetrating the inside strikes during the
life of the options, together with slippage and commissions, you end up with a negative expected
return! Using the expected return formula: % Winning trades x Avg Win + % Losing trades x
Avg Loss, for the typical iron condor we have 31% x 6.7% + 69% x (-13%) = -6.89%, and this
is before slippage and the cost of adjustments! Many inexperienced options come to the option
income strategy waterhole because they expect a high probability (limited profit) trade -
consistent, couch-potato income, remember? - but in fact they're getting low probability limited
income plus the potential for catastrophic losses at the wings.
I will not go into the pay-off diagrams for all the other option income strategies, but the message
is basically the same: with option income strategies there is the illusion of a high probability pay-
off in return for a limited income stream and big-time trouble when prices penetrate the wings
(the is, when prices go outside either +/-1 standard deviation). But what about the mathematical
certainty of time decay - don't most options expire worthless? Yes, but virtually every options
trader knows this. Other than extreme market sell-offs (when implied volatility gets pumped),
there is less time value to sell than you think. Analogously, with so many term-life insurance
carriers out there competing for policies, term life insurance underwriters are most likely
assuming greater risk than they should - because the premiums are so ridiculously low. The same
holds true for option writers on financial contracts.
I would argue that if you believe you have a competitive directional model of some kind,
more money can be made by doing the reverse - by buying options (especially deep in-the-
money and/or longer dated calls/puts). If option sellers aren't getting paid enough for the risk
they assume, then option buyers are getting a bargain more often than not. Another reason is that
the farther out in time you go (3, 6 month options, even LEAPs), the greater uncertainty there is.
No one on this planet knows about the future and where prices will end up - and this is more so
the case the farther out in time you go. This is how leveraged trend followers generate profits.
Instead of capping you profits with some sort of income spread trade - consider keeping things
simple: follow the trend and let your profits run using longer-dated in-the-money long calls
or long puts.
There are some highly experienced option income traders who are masterful at adjusting their
iron condors, butterflies, calendars, etc. before and when prices fall off the deep end. But these
folks are extremely rare. Chances are, these are ex-option-market-makers with a keen
understanding of the greeks - particularly, of delta and gamma hedging. Yet all the options
adjustment skills in the world can't address the issue of violent overnight gaps, for example.
Gaps make price action containment (as all option income strategies try to do) virtually
unfeasible. For most of us directional folks trading through a broker, it's better to work at honing
your risk management and directional modeling and/or trend-following abilities instead.
5. To recap, here are some of the key reasons why complex options income strategies (especially
those with multiple legs), should be avoided:
1. Options are illiquid instruments. As derivative instruments, the total equity options market
in terms of volume traded in the U.S. (as measured by the Options Industry Council) represents
less than half of 1% of the total volume for the Russell 3000 (R3K represents 98% of the
investable universe of stocks). (This figure makes you chuckle when you hear market sentiment
analysts poring over put/call ratios when you consider just how small the options market is as a
percentage of the entire stock market). Liquidity basically refers to how easy it is to enter or exit
positions – in terms of not having to pay for
a) Exorbitantly wide bid-ask spreads (the wider the spread in % terms of the bid-ask midpoint,
the more punishing the cost of slippage in terms of trade execution is)
b) Moving markets/ slippage – this can be a big problem with illiquid securities like options
because sizable orders will literally push prices in the direction of the order – resulting in terrible
fill prices
c) Options exchange margin requirements – that is, how much cash you have to maintain in
the account to cover options positions that you wrote (or sold). These can freeze you into holding
positions until you raise sufficient cash so that you can unwind the legs of a spread, for example.
Imagine being in this situation when the market is moving furiously against you – you want to
get out by selling the “painful” leg of an options spread trade – but you can’t! You have to get
out your surgical gloves and piece by piece unwind the legs of the position. This can be a
nightmare to say the least especially for option income newbies.
2.Commissions on options trades are about $5/contract. If you put on a 10 x 10 vertical spread
(like a bull
put or bear call), that will cost you $100. If the market goes against you directionally, you’ll have
to pay another $100 to unwind the position. That’s 2% of a $10,000 options account just for
entry and exit costs.
Oh, and let’s not forget about the slippage for the illiquidity points made above. That’ll cost you
another 2.5% round trip. Add this all up and you’re down 5% right from the get-go.
3. Options are rapidly decaying instruments. As we said earlier, the time value of all options
decays exponentially the closer you get to expiration - unless implied volatility (the risk of the
underlying stock or index) increases. Because time decay is perilous to buyers of puts and calls,
only traders with exceptional directional market timing skills (greater than 55% accuracy) should
consider buying options for bullish or bearish plays. To minimize the impact of time decay,
directional players should consider deep in-the-money calls and puts. A very simple concept
indeed.
Long option strategies do have one important thing going for them: they cap downside risk. But
this sense of security is short-lived when you consider how much you pay (a form of insurance,
6. really) for limiting downside risk. Remember that the total cost of buying protection includes
not only the premium but also the slippage and commission. So if your directional skills are not
exceptional (greater than 55%), long option strategies can also turn into a losing proposition.

4. Options are leveraged instruments and the leverage factor is not constant. This means that
unless you're super careful,being mindful of the greeks (particularly gamma and delta), your
position can explode in your face. This is particularly true for options selling strategies when the
underlying market has moved a great deal.
As mentioned earlier, the issue of probability of touching vs. probability at expiration is
prevalent with all option selling strategies. Whenever you create a roof over the price action (as
can be clearly seen in the case of the iron condor discussed earlier), you're essentially trying to
contain the price movement in some way in order to keep the net premium sold. Covered calls
are also option selling strategies (long stock plus short call=short put), that try to contain the
ling
price action above a certain pain threshold.
Covered calls are a
popular way to generate income but present unlimited downside risk in bear markets. Needless
to say, option selling strategies that try to contain the direction of the market in some way are
extremely dangerous in view of truly unexpected market volatility like we had during the Flash
Crash of May 6, 2010 when Dow Jones Industrial Average gyrated by more than a 1000 point
swing on an intra-day basis. Or how about when the market gaps up or down in a big way? Good
day
luck trying to "contain" the price action under these circulstances!
It makes no sense to me to put on complex, cumbersome, and expensive options strate
strategies that
generate limited % yield (or income) and either do not work most of the time or leave you
exposed to significant downside risk!
7. Despite all the hype about 70% of all options expiring worthless at expiration, as we've seen,
what really matters is the risk that you assume during the life of the options strategy. The
options brokerage firms should really be advertising that you have less than a 50% chance of
keeping the premium whenever you sell options - and that is before factoring in the exorbitant
slippage and commission costs. Blackjack at the casinos offers better odds.
Sophisticated options income strategies are extremely sexy. For anyone who is quantitative,
loves charts, statistics and probability - options present an endless world of speculation. Options
brokerage firms lure you in with state of the art trading execution and analytical platforms - with
all the greeks (delta, gamma, theta, vega), pay-off simulations, probability analysis, implied
volatility - all in real time with split-second execution.
There are literally thousands of variations or views you can have by combining multiple legs
with even or uneven weightings, across a wide range of strikes and expiration months. Options
traders are not two-dimensional - heaven forbid, that's for brutes - typically they are three
dimensional - incorporating not only price and time but also volatility into their views. In this
sense, options trading attracts some of the most brilliant minds. Yet in the world of speculation,
brilliance can be at war with risk management- intellectual arrogance coupled with the use of
leveraged derivative instruments has proven itself to be a recipe for disaster. In light of this,
every investor should read the epilogue of Roger Lowenstein's When Genius Failed: The Rise
and Fall of Long-term Capital Management at least once a year.
Many options traders won't admit to this, but I feel that one of the chief reasons people trade
options (instead of the traditional, two-dimensional boring stocks and ETFs, or i-t-m calls/puts
e.g.), is that they simply can't take losing trades. There are many options mentoring sites out
there whose key selling point is "never having to take a losing trade," or "how to turn a losing
trade into a winning trade." The magic word here is adjustment. "We'll show you how to adjust
your options positions so you almost never have to take a loss." What they forget to tell you is
that there's an opportunity cost of trying to salvage losing trades. Sure, you can restructure your
losing iron condor or calendar trade in an attempt to get back to break-even - but doing so will
take at least another three weeks. You've simply tied up your capital that could have been used
more productively on another potentially profitable trade idea. And, once again, after you factor
in the cost of slippage and commissions for removing and adding legs ("rolling up and out" or
"doing the jujitsu" - to use popular phrases among adjusters), you're lucky to get back to break-
even at best.
Options trading opens a Pandora's box of temptations. By presenting thousands of variations and
strategies on thousands of markets, it is tempting to want to experiment in uncharted territory
(from the perspective of the options trader, that is). This often leads to over-trading, which leads
to more slippage and commissions.
In sum, when it comes to options income trading, the odds are stacked against you. When you
factor in the lack of liquidity, the potential of being frozen into losing positions due to margin
requirements, exorbitant cost of slippage and commissions, the opportunity cost of adjusting
losing trades, not to mention the the huge temptation of trying new and aggressive ideas - it
behooves the majority of traders and investors to simply stay away from these complex
8. strategies.. You can save literally thousands of dollars in tutorials and trading losses by
avoiding complex options income strategies. If you really must try out these strategies, I
recommend that you trade real money (paper trading is useless because it does not factor in all
real-world challenges, variables and emotional considerations), but that you trade extremely
small size. Prove that you can turn a $5,000 account into at least double that in 3 years using
options. If you can't, then you shouldn't be trading options for income at all. You would be
better off focusing on honing your directional modeling or subscribing to a solid market timing
methodology combined with sensible risk management for a portfolio of ETFs, stocks or in-the-
money long option strategies. These should do nicely instead - and you'll have a lot less
headaches.
