I see the argument that cryptos reduce the grasp of oppressive regimes on here pretty frequently but the truth is that a) the null hypothesis (no effect) has yet to be rejected with any data and b) oppressive regimes are very good at elimin

That honestly wouldn't surprise me either, I have very little trust for the exchanges.

I didn't know the Charles Schwab statistic, would you happen to have a link for that one? I'd love to be able to share it. Thats nuts.

I figured it was either that or people who are expecting this to be their chance to get in at a "good" price.

I'm really shocked this panic hasn't set in yet, I would have bet otherwise. I wonder if it'll be a slow slide all the way down.

Yes, I said exactly that -- it has been trending downward at a high rate and I'm shocked it hasn't gone to zero yet.

It is pretty incredible how resilient BTC has been to panic selling, it has definitely been trending downward at a high rate but I would have bet that a panic sell-off would have occurred before it reached these prices. There is still a rea

But you're not wrong to make that argument, right? The point api is making is that they were sure they were right.

The dot com bubble analogy is fashionable right now because it serves to push the desired narrative without having to deny or provide evidence against what is clearly a bubble. I'd imagine many of the people you see perpetuating this a

Houses in 2008 where valuation was driven more by hype than some intrinsic value. Tech stocks in 2000 when the same thing happened. Or everyone's favorite tulips. I know people hate to hear this but unless you have a target price and a

His game is identifying undervalued assets. If you're not confident you know how to value the asset you can't identify undervalued ones. I guess the point I was getting at was valuing a tech stock and valuing a crypto have little

Cryptocurrency is comparable to a tech stock because computers? That's about the extent of what they have in common.

That plumbing eventually connects to infrastructure constructed decades ago which presumably cannot handle the paper.

It can become worth 1/20 of it's original value.

So what you're saying is I'm getting 0% cash back and paying .7% more for everything. Still doesn't sound like a win to me, and it still doesn't matter what card you get because no card is giving you more back than they&

by diab0lic 9y ago
No, it does not depend on which card you're using. Everything costs a few percentage points more because of fees for the merchant. You pay this no matter what card you're using. They don't offer you a different price for usi

He's not suggesting the markets are imaginary, simply suggesting that there isn't a backing asset to stabilize them. Sure people buy counter-strike skins right now but there is very little reason to believe that the current versio

It also has the hard limit that the assets being willed must be crypto currency. It wouldn't work for a house, car, cash, etc...

Given the tips in your bio I assume you're trading on some set of metrics you've developed yourself. If I may pick your brain, and I understand that you may not be able to answer. - Are you trading on the order of minutes (or grea

I'm assuming you're doing a radial daily plan in a regular notebook. I'm curious about: 1) Why you felt this would help you? (Do you have a lot of tasks in a typical day? Or did structure help you stay on track?, etc...) and

This looks really interesting, thanks for mentioning it. I make use of a notebook daily(ish). Bullet looks like a lightweight formalized process that can help me get a little more out of my notebook while keeping things simple.

I mean Koduri did skip the whole step of immediately founding a company with almost nothing, which would be purchased in short order for a ridiculous sum of money, and have it then come out that he had met with the CEO of Intel on several o

When you reach that level in some company you don't really have any options for remaining in your field that don't appear to be pretty shady. It looks particularly bad because Intel is AMD's largest competitor but leaving to

It could be resuscitated but it is unlikely without the backing of a major player.

That is more or less what I was getting at, while trying to remain polite on the subject. The truth is that none of the deep learning backends have real support for it and OSX supports an outdated version (IIRC). It has seen very little ado

Part of me feels it would be very awesome to see onboard GPU hardware outputting similar performance to discrete chips. Of course it would change the size of the socket, or at least the piece of hardware in the socket and cooling requiremen

The link is incredibly light on actual content but this seems to be good news for AI enthusiasts as perhaps now we'll get a reasonable competitor to CUDA/CUDNN and their associated hardware for running GPU accelerated machine lear
