# Teens who vape or smoke more likely to experience depression and anxiety, study of over 60,000 u.s. students finds. Youth using both e-cigarettes and traditional tobacco report the highest levels of mental health struggles, according to 2021–2023 national youth tobacco survey data.

My assumption is that success comes from either being the fastest to update quotes or having the most accurate pricing models (vol surfaces, Greeks, etc.). Is that roughly right?

A few specific questions:

* If you’re a researcher at a speed-focused OMM, what are you actually working on?
* How do slower firms stay competitive — by focusing on niche products, better hedging, or client flow?

Would appreciate any perspective from people in the space

# Mathematician: “the openai IMO news hit me pretty heavy … as someone who has a lot of their identity and actual life built around ‘is good at math’, it’s a gut punch. it’s a kind of dying.”

Ash is an AI therapy trained on actual therapy data. Interesting!

Hi r/SEO,

I work at a company that invested a lot of time and $ in upgrading their website at the beginning of the year, and the site looks and seems to function much, much better. We are in the mid-market and enterprise B2B SaaS and hardware space.

The agency we worked with to redesign and republish the site was very skilled, but now we are looking to move on to SEO and trying to figure out where to start.

**Tech stack:**

* Webflow + Webflow CMS for hosting
* SurferSEO for content assistance
* Ahrefs

**Basic data from ahrefs:**

* DR: 26 (competitors are in the mid- to high-40s)
* Referring domains: 90 (competitors are much, much higher – typically hundreds)
* Total visitors: 1.7K
* Organic Traffic: 261

When we look at our competitors and their data (at least on ahrefs), we seem way behind.

We started reworking some pages (8 of about 90 or so) using Surfer and within a few weeks, GSC shows our traffic increasing, so this seems like a good sign. But there are tons of pages to work on and we’re not sure if we should keep going with it internally or hire in a consultant to help to help us develop a good strategy to work through this and understand if we are missing anything.

So for all the experts out there, the question is this — where do we start? what will generate the most results the fastest? It seems like we can keep working with Surfer to update our internal content, but we haven’t even started thinking about off-site SEO / backlinks and the myriad other facets to this.

Thanks!

My whole working life I’ve been working my ass off, saving and living a frugal lifestyle. But I was losing hope because the government just inflates and depreciates the value of my savings. After recently educating myself on bitcoin, I find myself more willing to work some overtime or continue my frugal lifestyle to stack more bitcoin. At least I know my money isn’t being devalued. With bitcoin I feel hope that one day I can relax without worry about my money depreciating before my eyes. I see the light at the end of the tunnel now.

3. **Communicate:** Whether it’s with a partner or financial advisor, keep the lines open to avoid misunderstandings.

4. **Stay Informed:** Market trends can sway decisions. Educate yourself continually to make informed choices.

5. **Protect Relationships:** Remember, no financial gain is worth the cost of personal relationships.

So, while our friend on Reddit awaits the next Bitcoin surge, the rest of us can take a moment to smile and perhaps learn. After all, in the crypto game—and in life—it’s not just about the end goal but how you get there.

I’m planning to visit Italy for around 7 days starting from the 13th or 14th of November. However, based on what I’ve found, it seems that visiting Italy in November might not be a great idea, and I’m a bit worried about it.

I read that many restaurants and attractions may be closed during this time, and that November tends to have quite a lot of rainy days.

Could you please tell me what Italy is really like in November? It would be very helpful if you could share some photos of Italy or the Dolomites during that month as well.
