Indeed, that could also have been the point. Although it of course seemed quite strange at the time that they would publicly announce that they had closed their positions, unless they wanted the price to drop... heh, it was a mess. In a sen

Ah, I think that's a quite different aspect than the comment you were replying to was referring to, though. There definitely still are people that expect the "rocket to start any minute now", and a lot of those might also bel

Let's go with: No, it doesn't. QAnon requires you to believe absolutely insane stuff, like Anderson Cooper drinking the blood of babies. This theory would require you to believe that enormously wealthy entities would find a way to

I'm a bit surprised by the general tone in the comments here, tbh. This was, originally, not a 'pump and dump' that everyone with two working brain cells should immediately have recognized as one. Buying into a pump'n&#x

That might be a bit confusing for native English speakers given the 'albeit' conditioning.

That's really interesting, I hadn't considered that it could be used for naps! Have you noticed it "confusing" your circadian rhythm at all? As in, do you need to take extra care to not get your rhythm out of whack when

L-theanine is awesome! I'm wondering though, are you using melatonin during the day to take naps?

Retail investors being blocked from buying while short sellers use ladder attacks to buy back shorts cheaper very much seems like a 'rigged market' though, no? (Even if the move to block buyers wasn't orchestrated.) Granted,

Just going by the numbers, wouldn't we have seen much more volume if they had actually closed out their position?

Some interesting observations: In the last few hours, the WSB Discord was banned for 'hate speech' and the WSB subreddit had to close for a while because of a massive influx of bots. To me, that does not really seem like an indica

Amazingly, it seems actually possible that WSB can remain irrational longer than some Hedge Fonds can stay solvent.

There's a critical difference though: The amount of stock sold short is externally verifiable -- and it's still more than the available stock.

Check out Andrew Huberman's podcast, I cannot recommend him enough. Turns out it's not really the color that is the most important factor for wakefulness-shifting, but the amount of light your eyes perceive. Yes, the cells respons

Why wouldn't you be able to use f-strings to print function output?

Thanks for this article, I've gotten out of crypto for the moment for the exact same reason. The probability that something fishy is going on which would trigger a panic-sale when it's discovered is too high until we know more abo

You are correct, I hadn't taken the difficulty-adjustment into account. So that means a lower Bitcoin price does force miners out of the market, but after at most 14 days, the difficulty would adjust to stabilize at 10 minutes/blo

The problem is that, if the allegations are correct, Tether was used to inflate Bitcoin's price just in time for the miners to stay profitable after the 'halving' of the mining reward. Should Tether be revealed as a fraud and

There is so many ways of running your own code in the kernel (mainly thanks to signed, but terribly written drivers [1]) that PatchGuard really is only a nuisance if you need to overwrite some kernel functionality, e.g. for hooking function

Hahaha, thanks for trying it out! It's honestly mind-boggling that we now have tools that even make something like this possible. (Even though GPT-3 clearly has to read more poetry.)

That's cool and all, but I'm pretty sure what we really want to see is "The expert described what had happened, in the form of a Haiku:"

I'm a bit irked by these 'always been a thing'-responses. Yes, it may be true that the thing (whatever it may be) is not a recent development, but that doesn't mean that it couldn't have steadily gotten worse over t

Honestly, I love the fact that we live in an age where this is simultaneously a very good question and also quite hilarious.

That's simple! You think "this is probably a pump-and-dump", then flip a coin and go post about it on Twitter if it comes up heads.

From what I've gathered, it's more like: It's likely that the vaccine will have reduced efficacy (seen over the whole population) against this new strain. That's because your immune system essentially learns to recognize

It's fairly unsurprising that the extreme parts of the spectrum aren't listening to each other, given how far removed they are from each other ideologically. What's way more worrying to me is that they aren't listening t

After a cursory check of the "frontpage" there... yeah, it doesn't seem very balanced. More like "r/The_Donald"-lite, with even some anti-vaxx stuff thrown in.
