It is already being done by HFTs. https://seekingalpha.com/article/4205379-robinhood-making-mi...

The reason why this doesn't work for the average person is because they don't have the infrastructure for it or they don't trade enough to get the commissions down to make it profitable. Shorting comes with additional fees.

Too many programs ask to run as admin already, people just click okay on the UAC prompt to make it go away now.

I had an interview with a company that's mentioned from time to time here. When it was the founder's turn to grill me, he spent 90% of the time staring at his iphone while barely glancing at me.

This seems like a huge amount of addresses to me, the price should drop if supply goes up. I don't expect it to tank though.

Is there a recommended broker or website? I googled a few of those "transfer facilitators" and they looked sketchy to me with many of them asking you to contact them for a price.

Anyone here know a good place to buy or lease ipv4?

Is this going to lower the prices?

That's not true.

Many setups proxy everything but dns traffic.

That's why this topic is a thing.

Why not just send the subnet of the machine at cloudflare doing the querying?

This is assuming that level 5 automation is possible any time soon, while a growing number of people believe it isn't. If it turns out that we need another 2-3 decades to get there, Tesla will run out of money long before then.

The google captcha's are starting to be unsolvable for me.

VPNs still give you some protection especially for illegal activities.

I was recently a victim of a password cracking attempt from someone using a vpn. I tried reporting the incident by sending the logs to the vpn abuse email, and they ignored it. I looked into VPN company itself, and it was owned by some Russian in Panama. I tried emailing a lawyer there and he said that he couldn't help me because he did work for that person.

I have no doubt that most of the major vpn providers are similarly structured so that they can just ignore all complaints except from the largest corporations.

I ran it for a few minutes and then it said:

The artifacts were very visible to me when rotating the camera quickly or during fast movement. If the camera isn't moving very much I think it is easier to get a high quality picture at a standard bit rate.

I participated in the beta. Everything was great except the graphics became super grainy and pixelated when you rotated the camera or during high motion scenes.

My download speed is 50 mbits and I had about 5 ping to the google servers.

I don't think US internet infrastructure is ready for this unless you live downtown with 100+ mbit speeds.

Why would you be afraid to self-manage a database for a side project? It isn't very hard to install and run, especially if you don't need to tune the system for massive load.

You can only harvest $3000 in losses per year if you have more capital losses than capital gains.

That is laughably small.

And you can't deduct the losses from your other income while you can as a business.

I think the .net implementation benchmarked before was using mono, that's why Java was ahead before.

Hmm that is interesting, would you consider yourself a high frequency trader?

From your experience, would you say the VIX futures are useful for anything other than traders taking chunks off the bid or ask moving the equities a few seconds later?

It is already being applied to finance. The problem is that a huge part of the market is based on emotion, so the AI makes it worse and not better.

When the proverbial knife is dropping, you don't want to catch it while it is in free fall, it will likely plunge below "fair value" in a panic.

Quants know this and most have programmed/taught their systems to pull out of the market or short when volatility goes up. It is happening right now. Liquidity since February has shriveled up.

Can you elaborate on the hosted SIMs thing? More and more websites are starting to ask for SMS verification and blocking VOIP numbers like google voice and it is getting really annoying.

An entrepreneur is a more difficult job that requires you to be good at more than just programming. A capable entrepreneur imo, would not be churning out random super niche websites like the ones you just listed, hoping that one of them sticks.

Market research takes time and effort, just like programming does. If you do not already have an idea you know will make you money, you will need to put in the time and effort to find one instead of using that time making random websites. Some people do get lucky and find a niche without much effort, but that is likely not the case for most.

I'm not sure how they can invest in that.

I've seen amazon ec2 ips being used for ddos attacks and I blacklist the entire range for many of my websites/projects. The vast majority of visitors we get from there are abusive.

It does makes sense from their standpoint though. In their mind, everything they want to spend money on is necessary, while everything the other party wants to spend money on is wasteful.

The most difficult part about VPN as a business is dealing with the people that use the VPN for illegal activity.

The authorities will come after you first. Most large providers are located in some small country like Panama so they can't be sued or jailed.

>>> test(2) is None

True

The house as insulated as it can be without costly work being done on it and trying to plug up every leak. It seems like you either have a small residence or state of the art design to only drop 3-4 degrees after an entire weekend, or that you also live in a warm place.

You must live in a warm place because if I turn off the heating when it is 0 degree celsius outside, then I wake up in the middle of the night because my face is numb.

I agree.

It is harder for people to argue against the logic for manufacturing which is why I only mentioned that.

I've never heard of anyone that would even remotely consider hiring someone who got their knowledge from MIT opencourseware.

Investing is very close to being a legal ponzi scheme.

If everyone invested as much as they could, people wouldn't buy enough to drive company profits like you see today, or to be the last people holding the bags when a recession occurs.

Also stock markets don't go up forever, Japan's Nikkei topped in 1989, and as of now, has barely recovered half the value. Do you really think even index funds are risk free when you can have a 50% loss for 30 years?
