Are emotions a problem in crypto long-term investing? Our solution
We think the crypto prices volatility is the key problem in long-term investing in crypto.

We created a project that's already on mainnet - https://freeze.capital/. We are launching a platform that will allow for implementing long-term investment strategies in crypto investing.

We found crypto price volatility to be the main concern for crypto investors. Price swings can be huge, and make people sell based solely on emotions when asset prices become extremely volatile. These decisions are rarely the good ones from the long-term perspective.

This is why we created https://freeze.capital/ which is our pre-emptive tool for a broader long-term investing platform - that we plan to develop.

Please share your thoughts on the problem and if our solution addresses it correctly.

Feel free to test it - as mentioned, the contract is already public on mainnet.
That also happens in e.g. manufacturing. I was talking to an uncle who worked in aluminium manufacturing, he was explaining that as computers developed they could convert waste to very precisely understood ingots (in terms of composition), then when an order arrives the manufacturing program would know exactly what ingots should be picked to fulfil the order with as little pure metal (both aluminium and solutes) as possible, as that’s where the plant’s margin was. Iirc he told me they were above 99% (so only needed pure aluminium straight out of a smelter for less than 1% of their production).
Are more expensive guitars worth the money?
That's just not at all true. If you've ever worked in / around law you'd understand how it's less about right and wrong and more about risk management. Non guilty parties settle all the time. (I have no idea if that is true in this case or not) but simply the idea that they settled for $$$ amount means they're guilty is just false.
Would be great that HN points out unsecured links (i.e. not HTTPS)
I’ve had a similar experience in my learning journey. This was really clear in High School: the physics taught by my poorly trained teachers or the “recommended” books were all targeted towards rote memorization and I really disliked the subject because of it. When I looked for other books that explained these concepts in a more accessible way, It became a joy to learn the subject.
Recently I've been using `mathpazo` which is Palatino extended with matching math symbols (if math is needed; if not, just use plain `palatino`).

Specifically, I use `mathpazo` with smallcaps and old-style figures enabled:

\usepackage[sc,osf]{mathpazo}
The style of the background image is dated (although since it is more subtle than others of the era it doesn't stick out too badly), but the rest of the design is clean and remarkably modern looking for a site that hasn't been redesigned in over 20 years.
The creators of ElderJS have something like 50k pages that they manage, so maybe you should look at what their model is.

Otherwise use Strapi, Directus, or some other open-source headless CMS.

There's no reason to start a new project with WordPress today. It is a dumpster fire.
I’ve heard something similar as a “Helicopter”.

Can’t find a source, but it was relayed to me as a technique in negotiating a contract for videography. You would put together a contract that includes normal shots and one extraneous, really expensive aerial/helicopter shot. If the client doesn’t notice - cool, you get to do a fun helicopter shot. If they do notice, it can give them something to negotiate away - making them feel accomplished, while you still land a contract with the important shots.
A lot of pumps with the chip readers also have contactless readers, but the on-screen prompts still just say "insert card". If your chip card is also contactless, you should be able to just hold it in front of the contactless reader and save both time and wear.
And yet those brightest kids still need to learn valuable lessons freshman year, such as what happens if you don't brush your teeth for a week because your parents aren't nagging you. Or what grows when you leave food in the fridge for a month.

> Their peers who don't go to college are expected to be able to procure themselves right away.

I don't know why you're lobbing some sort of privilege nasty. Kids that don't go to college are a different topic, and quite heterogeneous at that. My same sentiment applies to someone who moves from childhood home into their own apartment without college. On the other hand, there are plenty of kids who don't go to college and don't move out (due to the crushing housing bubble), and thereby have a hard time becoming independent. And obviously kids who get pushed out of their childhood home or didn't have a solid one to begin with aren't suffering the affluenza described in the article.
Got a new mastercard (debit) without signature field and a mastercard (credit) with embossed numbers and signature field. It makes sense with the debit/credit split.
As long as the statistics are good, any sample size suffices.

Even n=1 can give a statistically relevant result (for the hypothesis that a given event never happens)

I haven’t read the paper, but n=51 can be more than high enough to get significant results for more realistic null hypotheses, if the effect is large enough.

Having said that, effects rarely are large. If you have a weaker effect, you need more subjects (picking a somewhat random paper from a google search: https://www.journalofcognition.org/articles/10.5334/joc.72/)

I’m surprised by the fraction of male subjects they managed to recruit. A well-known joke is that the typical experiment in psychology is either done with mice or with teenage girls as participants.
Ss13 has this issue, nobody who codes plays for long because the magic goes away once you see behind the curtain.
Edit: Okay I had it slightly wrong, rewritten.

Aurora was originally slated to use Phi chips, which are an unrelated architecture to these GPUs. The delays there don't say much about problems actually getting this new architecture out. It's more that they were halfway through making a supercomputer and then started over.

I could probably pin the biggest share of the blame on 10nm problems, which are irrelevant to this architecture.

As far as this architecture goes, when they announced Aurora was switching, they announced 2021. That schedule, looking four years out for a new architecture, has only had one delay of an extra 6 months.
The primary usage of the network will be to provided a funding and governance mechanism for open source research and drug discovery.

It's mostly just a convenient and transparent way to fund R&D as well as to allow supporters/participants a controlling voice in the operation of the organisation.

Here's a link to their proposal. You may have to create an ideascale account to access it but if that's the case and you don't want to do that, let me know and I can mirror it over in a comment here.

It's not "just" a shortage of GPU's but all kinds of components.

And it's also not "just" caused by miners.

But that means if they are really unlucky they could launch into a situation where there is a surplus of good second hand graphic cards and still shortages/price hikes on the GPU components they use...

Through as far as I can tell they are more targeting OEM's (any OEM instead of a selected few), and other large customers, so it might not matter too much for them for this release (but probably from the next one after one-ward it would).
You haven't actually responded to my rebuttal of your assertion that life extension has no positives.

I'm getting the feeling that you aren't interested in debating it at all. You've made your point repeatedly that you think it's a bad idea. So I guess we'll just leave it there.

A Podcast About Comments on Social Media
Richart D. Ruddie podcast idea trolling over the comments that people post on social media. This would cover political figures, their tweets & posts, and then the comments that people post and how absurd or crazy they are. Is this something that could have legs for an entertaining podcast?

> There's virtually no difference except for Tesla's Autopilot's need to deal with curved trajectories.

Well, and it actively avoids collisions with other vehicles (most of the time). Airplane (and boat) autopilots don't do that.

"But you're using the word autopilot wrong!"
Those exist, but they are somewhat rare overall. The chip does take a lot longer than it should in most cases (I'll give them 2 seconds - which is enough time to cross satellites in geosynchronous orbit, for land based internet connections 50ms is plenty of time).
I have struggled with the same thing (and continue to do so). One thing I have found to be very helpful is Ivan Savov's "No bullshit guide to math & physics". It helps that it's written by a person who does a lot of tutoring, unlike the authors of many frightening ex-cathedra maths books. It basically builds its way up to calculus, in a way that's mostly easy to grok and in a way that's useful and interesting (which is where the physics bit comes in).

It certainly hasn't made me a mathematician by any stretch, but it's helped me fill in a lot of gaps left behind by awful maths teachers in school, and it's helped rekindle an interest that I'd long since forgotten.
Don't sleep on Space Station 13.
Hey mate, I've been there. You're blaming a lot of general extraneous factors. That sort of generalized dreariness... might you just be depressed? I mean, the sort of non-"meaningless" is quite hard to come by. A few generations ago most everybody was farming or mining coal or something. Actually, probably most people are doing jobs like that outside of the bubble we live in thinking worldwide anyway. You really ought to delineate what you want in a house-- surely you can afford something in a nice neighborhood on the outskirts-- but then you'd be tied down and have to maintain your own house.

And, there are worst places than London, believe me. It's just too easy to fantasize about other lives-- the grass is always greener.
Well… This kind of data you access with this app is not used to do contact-less payments.
Thanks for taking the time to write about the book. As someone who had a hard time applying their school-taught knowledge about vectors and matrices when trying to understand OpenGL and Direct3D back in the early days ("why isn’t there a proper 'camera' object I can use") I really appreciate when people make an effort to offer alternative POVs to get deeper into topics they might not be familiar with.

Sometimes the right kind of intuition is all it needs to make it click. Sometimes it's that tiny bit of knowledge one is missing to get the whole picture and suddenly everything makes sense.

(Btw I think we might have met ages ago at a conference or two in Cologne)
Have you checked out the unofficial Homebrew tap `nwhetsell/lilypond` [1]?

It has a `lilypond` formula that has worked fine for me. Beware though that it installs some kind of TeX repository sized 7 GB.

The FBI has stats on police deaths by type of death. If memory serves correctly slightly more cops were killed in traffic crashes than that.

However, I’m assuming the crashes were quite varied: anything from a driver recklessly fleeing a stop to some drunk crashing into a cop on the highway shoulder. Most likely these deaths didn’t have a systematic pattern to them that could be prevented if only we knew what the root cause was.
Who cares about inserting chips into the machine? We're already well past that, to contactless payment — tapping the chipped card against the terminal like an NFC door tag. It still uses the chip, and can still require your PIN (depending on your bank); you just don't stick the card in the machine to do it. MTBF = approximately forever.

Inserting the chip is a fallback, or for high-value transactions. Both use-cases are low-volume enough that a POS terminal's chip-slot reader should see relatively little use/wear.
How many people have come off looking good by suing NASA?

Seems like the Venn Diagram of that includes families of astronauts killed on missions, people who had stuff land on their house, and <checks notes> no, that's about it.
I've had that too, but when that happens, it's obvious to others; they can see you swiping again and again. Failed NFC just looks like you're standing there.
I was excited to read about Tesla's "autopilot" until I read the details. To me as a consumer, autopilot would let me get in my car after dinner in SF, set the destination as Las Vegas and wake up in the morning at Vegas.
Wake me up when that exists.

Or I can tell my car, "Hey tesla, go pickup my kid from soccer practice" and it would know what to do.
Lot's of payment terminals in the UK allow the customer to input the service charge themselves before they enter their PIN. Otherwise the waiter/waitress typically asks you how much you want to pay before typing in the amount. If you're splitting the bill then they need to do that anyway.
In fact I worked mainly with java and .NET C# in the past 2 decades ... Now I'm more into Node and Javascript ... I worked mainly in finance, banks and insurances. This is where I met all those underperforming math-oriented peoples. Most of the time they where not able to find a job in their field and went to programming as a way to earn money, not by passion like ALL the best engineers I met.
How much did they settle for? I don't see that in the article. Just because they were sued for $58M doesn't mean that the settlement amount was anywhere near that!
>Needless to say I think the bar staff got a lot of tips that night!

You generally tip based on percentage or the number of drinks, so it shouldn't matter too much unless you're doing it by percentage and rounding up the nearest dollar.
Most undergraduates are not there for the academics per se. They are there to be employable when they finish. They care about the reputation of the school, social opportunites such as fraternities and clubs and what doors those will open later, and yes how nice the dorms are.
Alternatively, maybe the navy minister could beat the army minister if there are more sailors than soldiers. It would be interesting to simulate/play the dysfunction of bureaucratic militaries...

I had 5 spam calls this morning from various suspicious phone numbers, including one from Europe. That's more than I've gotten since I first got this phone number total.

I guess it's unreasonable to expect the good times to last like that but man, I'm still deeply unhappy with T-Mobile right now.
those switches per dot ratings are fair, but another assumption here is that EPD takes a non-0 amount of time to move the ink particles in the fluid they are suspended in with a magnetic field. when you try to move them more than roughly 8-12hz it already uses more power than a normal screen and if you run it at even higher voltages and speeds the ink particles start to burst and lose shape, leading to a greying out of the panel quite rapidly (within a few months)
Then perhaps look at Planetary Annihilation, if you haven't already. It has a very high skill cap.
Yes up to a point where it gives up and asks the driver to take back the wheel.

But at this point you really see nothing and you'll limit your speed to 10-40 km/h by yourself.

I used it in those situation on my tesla model 3 to be able to focus a maximum on the small visibility left as a driver, and with both hands strongly on the wheel and foot on the brake, low visibility is really dangerous and scary on the road.

Part of the issue is that you don't know what speed the car arriving behind you will have so where's your optimum speed? Too slow and rear ended by bad drivers, too fast and it won't go well.

It's fresh on my mind since I had such driving conditions two weeks ago on the highway. Trucks stayed at suicidal 90 km/h ...
Depends on the transaction, but merchants can absolutely be liable for fraud before the EMV shift...

Also the rate of mag fraud is still pretty low, more Online Fraud which was ALWAYS liable to the merchant and did not see to do much ti incentivize any changes there.

Causing 90% of your customers pain to save less than 1% on fraud is likely going to cost merchants more than just paying for the fraud, which is also the math online merchants used. Online merchants that have huge fraud prevention lost more customers than the fraud....

Hell I remember one time a online merchant wanted me to submit more info after the sale for anti-fraud... I cancelled the order and bought from someone else
Alternatively, I have never in the US been subject to a situation where if a chip didn't work that the magstrip wasn't allowed.
I've wondered if I shouldn't just rip off the magnetic stripe - I never use it, and it's just a security risk.
Customer support is a cost center, so it gets less funding than sales/marketing-oriented projects

> The seller told Motherboard that 100 million people had their data compromised in the breach. In the forum post, they were offering data on 30 million people for 6 bitcoin, or around $270,000.

Is it possible that one day the market for SSNs and other private data will become so saturated that exfiltrating such data becomes unprofitable?

On a slightly more serious note, is anyone aware of a compilation of prices paid for such data? I'm imagining something like a Consumer Price Index [1], but for stolen private data. Maybe far in the dystopian future inflation will make life harder for hackers.

Almost all NFC you find these days is going to be a form of EMV and is encrypted.

There was a form of contactless magstripe (MSD) that was not encrypted and has been phased out of usage as of like, late 2019 via card update bulletins.
It looks like the federal government is beginning to collect and analyze relevant data, which will be interesting.

> Perhaps that's what would be needed for this to be fraud,

No, a valid contract was a requirement of the breach of contract claim, not the fraud claim.

> but a contract certainly wouldn't be necessary to accuse them of bait-and-switch.

Bait-and-switch isn't a legal cause of action. The usual cause of action for things described as bait and switch is either breach of contract (if there was an agreement) or fraud (if the bait-and-switcher got something of value from the other party out of it). Both were raised in this case, and both failed.

It’s such a “perfect” circle of non-communication that benefits only the fruit company, isn’t it?

- Can I update my app inside your store? Fruit company: No.

- Can I find out why? Fruit company: No.

- Can I find out who or what makes this decision? Fruit company: No.

- Can I update my app outside your store? Fruit company: No.

- Can I contact my customers? Fruit company: No.

- Can I even identify my customers in order to help them? Fruit company: No.

- Can I directly give my own customers a refund? Fruit company: No.

- Can I be removed from your list of featured apps? Fruit company: No.

- Can customers prevent this one app from being auto-updated into brokenness? Fruit company: No.

- Can you tell customers that this new brokenness is your fault and not the developer’s? Fruit company: No.

And on, and on, and on, and on.

This is a completely absurd system that has never, ever, ever benefited customers or developers nearly as much as fruit companies.

Life is too short to waste years in a job you dread.

Let me say that again.

LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO WASTE YEARS IN A JOB YOU DREAD.

You are selling yourself short, though. Sure, you might take a bit of a compensation haircut stepping away from your current role, but money isn't everything, and people retire early without spending their career making crazy money. It just takes more planning.

Your degree is a money-printing machine. You can find work that will be fulfilling and not awful and not underpaid. It won't be EASY but worthwhile things often aren't.

You're also in a world where remote work is 100% a thing people DO. This introduces the challenge of your partner, though -- under the surface of your post is a possible other problem. Does your partner love London? Does he love his work?

It's not uncommon for a sort of "oh shit is this it?" feeling to start happening in one's 30s. It doesn't mean you have to act on it, but you also shouldn't ignore it entirely.

Not exactly example code, but the algorithm is well-described near the end. It should be sufficiently detailed to implement that particular variation.

https://www.supermemo.com/en/archives1990-2015/english/ol/sm...

Is one of the SuperMemo algorithms, particularly SM-2, described in pseudocode form. Again, should be enough to implement it yourself.

Other algorithms can be seen as variations on these themes. Like with Anki's implementation (and I believe also SuperMemo's) there is jitter added to the schedule so that too many cards don't show up together over and over. This is to avoid the issue of remembering something because of what it's with and not on its own. With language learning, say you enter a dozen cards on colors and review them all in one day, strictly speaking they could all end up recurring at the same time in the future. By adding jitter they get spread out so you can avoid accidental "topic" days and end up with a proper mix of cards for study.
