I tried to get through this, but after one or two chapters it seemed really dry, and somewhat outdated for current markets. I've read dry material on financial markets before, but jeez. Did you actually learn much from it? If anyone wa

BASF, Thyssen (without the Krupp at that time...) plenty of blame to go around...

So they're finally switching from Google STT to Mozilla Deepspeech, but that project includes no pre-learned models IIRC. So where is MyCroft getting its data from? Or is Mozilla releasing models in 2018?

There are quite a few countries with much lower rates of religious affiliation than the US, and decent societal values. NZ, Aus, Nordics, Swiss, Germany etc. And even if they have non-trivial rates of religious belief, its not the kind of f

If you were searching for ice-cream with real vanilla, then its possibly understandable. A cyclone clobbered the Madagascan crop in 2017, multiplying the price. Some gelaterias in London didn't even run vanilla this winter as a result.

I went into a Decathlon for the first time the other day, after long assuming Amazon would always be cheaper for outdoor+active wear...so wrong. Totally surprised at a high street store having a huge range of better quality merchandise, at

Are twins inherently more efficient per pax than quads? Wouldn't a quad plane just run at a lower thrust level per engine? Given that fan sizes and core temperatures are rammed up against difficult limits, I would've thought that

Mmm I don't know, I've met some educated and/or wealthy 1st and 2nd gen Indian immigrants who get pretty hoity-toity about being a brahmin.

Tiny country by land mass maybe, but you know the Dutch East India Company's peak market cap was (inflation-adjusted) 8x10^12 USD, right? If you don't understand the economic impact of early resource abundance, on the ability to c

Given a market in a steady state, as long as your (return+premium) rate is higher than your expected payout, you're still ok. So your premium-expected_payout could be negative and you could hopefully still keep the lights on, no?

Err, a big chunk of their bottom-line comes from reinvesting the float, or just re-insuring and taking the spread.

Isn't Coinbase a dark pool? Off-chain transactions seem like order internalization to me...

False equivalence. There's a legitimate argument that allowing one media group to stealthily control local media markets creates potential for mass misinformation. Or that allowing tobacco companies to litigate against entire nations h

How does Oliver encourage helplessness? There's often a direct call-to-action at the end of particularly pointed segments, from contacting local representatives to the more frivolous hashtags for e.g. Phillip Morris. While I have issue

The battery life on the Dash buttons seems subpar. Having torn one down last weekend, <100 presses has it down to 50pc. No easy way to replace power supply with something USB rechargeable either.

Needs to phone MyCroft homebase for setup (didn't look hard enough to figure a way around that), and uses Google's STT. Privacy...not attained. I shouldn't have to ask Google to open a local file for me.

Tried it. You need an account with MyCroft to set up your device, and it uses Googles STT API. You can use CMU Sphinx to backend the STT...but it sucks. So nevermind privacy, the stupid thing needs connectivity all the time. Might as well g

Kurzweil seems more like a master of generating linkbait-like titles. "The singularity is near: When humans transcend biology" "The age of spiritual machines: When computers exceed human intelligence" I'd argue that

Isn't M-pesa backed using the country's currency? What logic of what you're saying sounds like it could imply that "Paypal is it's own virtual currency"...
