Sure it shows the algorithm beats a hold strategy in 8/10 instances...

...but the "hodlometer.com" domain was registered 3 days ago.

It's trivial to develop an algorithm by cherry-picking parameters that will give any desired results for historical data.

But there's vast research on how it's impossible to predict/beat the market like this in reality [1], and this site is obviously designed to prey on the uneducated and naive.

[1] For a good intro, see chapter 5 of "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" which talks about "technical analysis", which is exactly what HODLometer is doing -- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0393352242
We already have weapons in space! You are misusing the term militarization of space. An ICBM can travel across the world and blow up a city on the other side of the planet. Whatever line you are afraid of crossing, we've already crossed it.
I played stupid amounts of both. In early highschool I was sick for a few weeks, and spent all of it playing D1. One afternoon I decided I needed a drink, so I got up and as I turned around I saw a Hidden melting away into the aether. I decided I should probably break for half an hour or so.

In late highschool I remember walking home from school and seeing a newspaper on our front lawn, and in my head I tried to press the 'tab' key to activate the popup telling me what it was.

As far as the music goes, I honestly can't recall any D2 music nearly as easily as the D1 music comes to mind. The town music is obviously the most iconic, but the caves and hell soundtracks give me goosebumps every time. Combined with the sounds of magma demons, and vipers, and balrogs, and mages. Oh man, those were the days.
A much more accurate title than that would be "Shareholders representing X% of Amazon demand it to stop selling facial recognition". I mean Jeff Bezos and myself are both shareholders, but his stake is worth mentioning.

Activist funds are able to shake things up with a lot less than 19 shareholders, so the count isn't important at all unless it's giant.
It’s not necessarily that, it can also be tacitly referring to external civilian influxes, such as mass migration events. Either way, it’s a grim business that few people seem to grasp the full import of.
Internship Strategy Advice for Product Managers [Video Podcast]
> Being passionate about anything is a thing of the past. Everyone works a corporate job at 1 of 5 companies in the world (people stopped innovating and a few large tech companies took over everything).

Dumb question here: why is not having to feign passion for every single corner of technology (just to even get a chance at a foot in the door at each particular company) a bad idea?
So if everyone follows this guidance then it would more or less work like a pump and dump?
>Lots of social circles use Facebook Events to organize get togethers, and not having an active Facebook account leads to you being left out. The people leaving you out may only be acquaintances, but that doesn't mean it's ok.

If Facebook is such a problem then people could just stop being part of these social circles. It really isn't that difficult.
The philosophy behind HODL is that you need to hold for 5-10 years plus in order for the strategy to work. The 1-year timespan in the graphs on the site are way too short.

If you want to cherry pick a point to "disprove" HODL, just look at the fact that in November 2013 Bitcoin traded at an eye-watering $950+, and then for 2.5 years beat a steady retreat to $400.

At this point, bitcoin can taper down to $3K in value till 2020 and we would not have seen anything new in terms of relative price movement over a fix timespan.

For those who have watched bitcoin for a while, 2018 is just 2014 all over again, except this time a lot more people are paying attention.
Sounds like all the bad decisions about who to hire (low cost, inexperienced workers) and who to fire (higher cost, experienced workers), how long to force people to work, overuse of automation, etc., has caught up with Tesla. And now Musk wants to externalize it so Tesla doesn't look bad and loose _even_ more orders of the model 3.

This is blaming the victims. The article says that Theranos lied to investors. How can you invest in anything if lying is allowed without consequences?

Justice punishing wrong behaviour is what flushes out the system. People walking away with money collected from lies and fraud does not.

I find it really hard to believe that the majority of a garbage crisis is caused by tourists "tossing their trash wherever" -- after all, underdeveloped countries have problems with trash even in places where tourists are rare.

I'm certain a big part of the issue are the services that tourism creates a demand for, and their waste for which there are no easy solutions when the infrastructure is not there. Setting up proper infra in place is really the local administration's job.

But there aren't many people (as far as I'm aware?) who forgo self-maintenance to play guitar more and more. Games are uniquely positioned to get someone hooked in the same way that gambling is, because modern games are so well optimised for triggering dopamine release. It's certainly fuzzy, but there's a line between "I do this thing in most of my spare time because it's my passion" and "I neglect important aspects of my life because I'm spending so much time doing this thing".
Each addiction clearly and openly differs in the object of addiction.

Same here. Backing up a lot of channels I like but also lots of music videos, interviews, live shows, informational videos, etc.

Hopefully the next great online video service will have support for displaying the original encoding for uploaded videos, saving them all another generation of quality degradation due to transcoding.
What's convoluted about it? Exceptions jumping up multiple stacks and being rescued or reraised or what have you is convoluted. If you mean errors as return values then I agree, monads are more complicated than returning a simple error type.
Well, it reminds me of Star Citizen for sure -- in that it's a pretty-looking interface but overburdened with unacceptably long loading times, laggy and unresponsive feedback in the UI, and motion blur on all the things to the point of being unusable. Every few months I look into where SC is at, and am not surprised to see more flash and surface-level polish, more extra features no one was asking for, and yet core gameplay/interactions that make me cringe when trying to interact with them. Why is SC this way?

Anecdotally, a couple years ago I was meditating every day, for about an hour. Sometimes a little longer. I noticed a marked decrease in my ambition in myself (since mindfulness is all about increasing the awareness of your thoughts and emotions).
In a broad sense, 40-hour weeks can be pretty draining, but welcome to modern work in the US. ;) (We meet at the pub at 6:00.) But more specifically, it’s not eight solid hours of coding. Sometimes it’s meetings, sometimes it’s code/PR review, sometimes it’s design, sometimes it’s documentation, and sometimes it really is coding. But it all depends on your role, your team, and your company. And even if you get a good mix, it’s not necessarily evenly distributed. Sometimes I have days where I pretty much do just code, and other rather painful (but not unnecessary and not unwelcome!) days that are all meetings and emails.

I hope that’s somewhat reassuring. And if it doesn’t work out, hopping fairly frequently isn’t that big of a deal. But do try to limit that because outside of the Bay Area, a few year-long stints starts to not look good.
They don't have to be stressful if the companies weren't practicing slash-and-burn methods at the behest of greedy investors and callous founders.
QA tester on Diablo 2 Expansion here.

There was sort of an infamous bug I found on the old D2 Expansion discs that let you bypass securom as well as play as expansion characters in non-expansion games using non-expansion discs. In fact, once you put in the D2 Expansion disc, all the configs got copied and if you switched to the regular non-expansion disc you were able to retain all the expansion features for as long as you had your PC on ;)

> while wait free algos can issue cas outside of loops as a failed cas implies that another cas succeded and thus carries information.

You almost had a perfect post IMO :-) But this last line is incorrect on some systems.

x86 CAS seems to be strong as you imply. But apparently, Power9 or ARM CAS can have spurious failures. Or more appropriately, Power9 and ARM implement "Load Linked / Store Conditional", which can have spurious failures, and thus compare-and-swap (at a higher-level, like in C++ or C) will look like a CAS failed spuriously.

Which is why atomic_compare_exchange_weak and atomic_compare_exchange_strong exists. Weak doesn't "hold information" due to the potential of spurious failures, but can be a more efficient implementation in the case of LL/SC instructions.

People who know a thing or two about finance are having the time of their lives watching Bitcoin evangelists genuinely believe in technical analysis and not understand that it's on the level of astrology and tarot cards as far as usefulness in predicting prices. (And that's in a fair market. On Bitcoin exchanges, where it's certain that the exchanges are using every trick in the book-- frontrunning, painting the tape, wash trading etc.-- to stack the deck and extract extra value from your trades, technical analysis is even more useless)

> Pollution from 1kw in an ICE is far higher than that in a power plant too.

Not nessisarily automotive fuel contains both Carbon and Hydrogen. So you're producing both CO2 and H20. Coal power plants often have higher thermal efficiency, but that's not nessisarily enough to make up for the difference in fuel. Further, the highest car engine is 50% fuel efficient and in cold weather can boost a little further by using waste heat for passenger comfort. https://www.motorauthority.com/news/1115473_mercedes-created... The vast majority of automotive engines are far lower, but many coal power plants are sub 40% where many hybrids are over 40%.

Granted the extraction, refinement, and transportation of automotive fuel produces CO2. But those stages can and should be taxed separately.
Actually I want to say in next anyone living US pay tax should be blamed as well, as their tax fund US government and ICE do those.

I’m not the one doing the classifying.

But of course, in 2018, targeting and abusing people based on their looks or ancestry is considered “not racism,” while calling out people who do it is classified as “racism.”
I don't think most people would advise "calling out" as an effective modality for approaching addicts in general.

Based on my rides recently I have seen the quality of drivers plummet on both Uber and Lyft. I'd be much more willing to wait (and maybe even pay) for a higher quality driver. Having a driver who cannot follow a GPS and takes you in a circle 3-4 times around the airport or does not speak English well enough to understand your request to stop on the right instead of the left like the GPS shows can be quite frustrating depending on the scenario.

I wonder if this is the first step towards offering a "limit" option. For example, where I live the average price from our house (Jersey City) to the mall is $7, but some days it jumps up to $15 or more. My wife and I usually choose to walk those days, but it would be nice to say "hey we want to go to the mall today, let's set a $7 limit and when that hits we'll go." For the flexible consumer it's easy to wait for a better price and not need to constantly look at the phone to see what the current market price is. The limit price could help create a queue which could provide a driver with a continuous supply of rides during non-peak hours.

NFL2K was easily the best football game. The controls were so much better than Madden. Something about Sega games that made them so easy to get into. I could never get into Madden.

Know about their own experiences, yes. They they know how frequently it happens to every other person in the industry, not so much. The person you replied to said it happens, but maybe not to the extent that they say it does.

> I'm a fiction writer and a technical writer, and in both cases, I'm routinely advised that it's good to turn subject matter experts -- SMEs -- not only for things that I know I don't know, but for things that I think I know but might not have a complete understanding of.

I miss the days of actual boxed games, with real manuals in them. So much nostalgia for going to the mall and finding a rare treasure that would run on my decrepit 586 in the back of EB Games, then reading the manual cover to cover a couple times waiting for my mom to finish up shopping and drive home.

I hope I still have my Warcraft, Lords of the Realm 2, Close Combat 2 and Civilization 2 manuals somewhere.

> Even video taken at 300K fps by the Slow Mo Guys was slowed down even further and looks even smoother than the original.

This suggests that the video accompanying that quote shows 300k fps footage, but that can't be right.

If you film at 300k fps and play back at a (generous) 60 fps, that is a slow-down factor of 5000. The footage of the tennis racket and the bursting balloon is slowed down, but not 5000x. Perhaps 50x, perhaps even 500x (doubtful) but definitely not 5000x.

Say the pool jump or the racket swing each takes only 0.1s real time. At 5000x that would mean 500s, or about 8 minutes. Clearly, the slow footage isn't _that_ slow.

This being said, the Nvidia results do look very impressive, I'm not trying to take away from that.

The very meaning of mindfulness is to detach from the self, and to do each and every task no matter how mundane it is as if brand new at each and every moment. Kind of like to see a world in a grain of sand and heaven in a wildflower hold infinity in the palm of your hand And eternity in an hour --so to say. So though the mundaneness of everything is quite real, the absolute newness of every moment is just as apparent. It's as if nothing has changed, yet everything has -jus all at once. At least w/o sounding too new age-y about it.
