I don't know the specifics, but I believe the parent comment is alluding to business specific taxes, not the capital gains tax you probably pay as a no-longer-california-resident.

The same claims about TA/EMH are made as part of the CFA study materials that are made in the investopedia I linked. I'm afraid I don't know what else to tell you, there's no public links to CFA Institute study materials

No, for technical analysis to work, EMH needs to be false. If EMH is strongly true, then the price of a security will always be priced to the intrinsic value of the underlying. For TA to work, the price needs to be divorced from the intrins

Honestly, I have no idea. I don't know any proprietary traders who use candlesticks/TA. The one or two people I know who use TA are hobbyists who watched some videos on youtube. I might be in the wrong here, but all my experience

People who trade on technical indicators like the author have to consider the market to not be accurately represented by brownian motion. For technical analysis to be anything other than an abstract form of gambling, the efficient market hy

And how do we know that the guy in that youtube video isn't just another quack saying things so people will pay them attention? If you're going to dismiss all information out of government agencies simply on the basis that they&#x

This is an excellent point. Trying to find out if docker build --pull without an accompanying blob download will trigger the rate limiter. If it does, then this will definitely be a reason to riot. It will effectively mean that anyone who w

Let's say someone hacks a maintainer for the Ubuntu base image. The hacker publishes a new version of the base image with a backdoor. When the backdoor is detected, you now need a revocation system so the distribution of the malicious

The hardest part of that would be verifying image authenticity. Google Cloud uses an adjacent feature called binary authorization. When turned on, only images that are signed by a given authority (usually your ci/cd instruments) can be

There is very little reason for a build node to need to pull 200 images in 6 hours, and here is why: When a machine issues a ``docker build`` command, the program reads the relevant dockerfile to check for any base images that need to be pu

Great question; index funds rarely carry the entire portfolio of 500 securities - it's very expensive to manage that much stock at scale and rebalance each one. What they do instead is hold a limited portfolio of 10, 50, 100 stocks fro

Why doesn't the congestion control part of TCP prevent buffer bloat[1]? Is it because ISP throttling of the internet connection doesn't touch the TCP packets themselves? I recently started doing off-site backups, which requires my

They probably run a sentiment analysis on the content before feeding it in so they can filter out the ugly highly upvoted content.

They're the only provider if you're not willing to spend several thousand per year. Beware that a lot of their info is scraped from other sources and does not have accuracy guarantees. You can also scrape the fundamentals directly

I definitely felt the same way when I was shopping for my first NAS. A two-bay Synology ran about $300 for new on Amazon and I just couldn't figure out why it was so expensive. A few months later I picked one up used on Ebay for $120,

No, it's not whataboutism. His statement is that "the NSA is the shadiest agency". I am arguing that it is not the most shady. If I tried to justify the NSA's behavior _because_ of what the GRU/IRA/CIA does, th

I'm sorry but if you think the NSA is the shadiest government agency on the planet, then you live in an information bubble. Do you think the NSA is shadier than the KGB? What about the Iranian Revolutionary Guard? Or even the CIA? I kn

I honestly cannot fault him. While online fraud prevention is a massive industry that touches almost every major website we use, you don't exactly have people giving talks about how serious the problem is or how advanced the detection

If you think the value of your company is going to increase faster than the 0.05% interest on a loan from a bank, you should buy the stock then sell it again later when it has appreciated. Another important detail is that you only have so m

The point about executive compensation is probably the most poignant. If you pay an exec team with fixed price stock options, they can run the company into the ground with debt to issue stock buybacks and do absolutely nothing to improve th

I don't get what's shocking about this. If you have a consistent history of publishing a foreign government's state secrets that damage its national security, they're gonna spy on you. And before the nitpickers jump in o

For the purpose of non-aviation people reading a comment thread about drones, it's good enough. I could edit my post and include all the weird side cases about controlled airspace but at the end of the day it's not relevant to the

Demonizing people who have a different upbringing, culture, and worldview as being wrong just because they don't share a set of values with you is to be part of the problem. It's a modern analog of a European explorer viewing nati
