> Everyone enjoys scanning it

What kind of backwards country do you live in where people _enjoy_ scanning QR codes?

The contract size doesn't change with leverage.

Do you mean a percentage of the notional value?

Hmmmm do fees scale with leverage? I don't know if that's true...

My understanding is that leverage is profitable to trading platforms, not because the fees are bigger, but because bigger leverage is "more fun" and so people trade more.

I don't know, you might be right.

Yes, the person I was responding to already said wash trading. You're just repeating what he said, you've added nothing to the conversation.

My point was that wash trading isn't the only explanation.

> But, here we're talking about people buying a coin and the _seller_ saying the coin is worth 100x and so skipping the step of using fractional reserve to 'create' the funds (the loan amount) to exchange for crypto and just going straight to a deceit.

This is a meaningless word salad.

You have an account with an exchange. Taking a position with leverage 100x just means that every time the instrument moves $1 up, your account goes $100 up, and when it moves $1 down, your account goes $100 down.

> 100x$100 is $10k no matter how much you lie that your shitcoin is worth 100x what people will pay for them.

It's not worth 100x. You don't understand how leverage works, clearly.

I don't know....

What do you need to have a daily traded volume of $1m? Lets find examples.

E.g. 1 - you need e.g. 1k people trading $1k

Is that unrealistic? I don't know. The world is a very big place with a lot of stupid people. But wait! all of these morons use stupid leverage. Many of these platforms give you 100x. Yes, really.

Here's a few more ways that you can get $1m daily:

e.g. 2 - 1k people putting up $10 with 100x leverage

e.g. 3 - 100 people putting up $100 with 100x leverage

Neither of these look unrealistic to me.

FB is a cancer, lets keep it far away from wikipedia.

> OP is clearly saying they don't want more

No, he's saying he DOES want more.

> But somehow, it isn't. It's never enough.

> I dream about doing my own thing or retiring early to do other projects.

Everyone here telling you to want less; I'll take the other side.

Maybe the disconnect comes from your (past) expectation that 100k, and house and kids is good enough. You see, the problem isn't the present you, the problem was the past you, with its mediocre expectations.

I say, if you want more stop complaining and make a plan.

No, I haven't installed my own instance. If that's a prerequisite to having a good experience, I don't want it.

I value a federated open standard, but I'm not gonna be the one running it...

The android Element client has been sluggish too, but I believe most of the lagginess comes from the matrix.org instance. Matrix supporters seem to brush this off as "oh well, that's just the matrix.org server that's laggy, it's not a problem intrinsic to the protocol." It's the most important server that's borderline unusable!

Unrelated. Tried Matrix for the first time a few days ago. Horrible experience (very slow). It's a shame it's borderline useless, because it brought back nostalgia from my IRC days.

From what I understand it was proven that he solicited, which is a crime in itself, regardless of whether or not it was carried out.

Oh damn, THIS is what the "intermediate representation" i keep hearing about is.

I knew that Julia uses LLVM. I also knew that Julia has something called IR, but i didn't know what it was. So Julia's IR is probably LLVM's IR...

What does a "front-end" mean exactly, in this context?

Would you link us the news report on this, please?

> why is no one talking about Magic Leap?

Do they have a product yet? No? So that's why.

So I tried Matrix yesterday for the first time in my life, despite having heard about it in passing for years on end.

It's fucking slow.

I didn't downvote, and I'm very pro open standards. I just think we can do better than IRC, that's all.

"can I have a life outside my work" isn't a serious question, it's just venting.

If it was a serious question, he could've solved it by googling, and the answer is yes, of course there's situations where you could have life outside of work. Half of the developers I know work 9 to 5, and I can google and see how others are doing. Instead, he's just venting. Which is understandable in his situation, but doesn't make it a serious question.

I would offer additional refinement.

A pretentious person is a person who thinks they're "better" than others (whatever that means) for irrelevant reasons, like their taste.

A poser is a person who in addition doesn't have the good tastes to be better than others, and so he fakes their tastes. He's putting in effort in order to attain pretentiousness.

I would define hipster as synonym of poser. It's worse than pretentious.

But that's exactly my point. It's a horrible situation to be in, but it reinforces that question isn't really about frameworks, it's about a person who is frustrated. Therefore, asking "will I have to... for the rest of my life" won't lead to any productive answers, I think.

I'm not a security expert, but my humble view is that if you need plugins for really basic functionality, that's a red flag.

My answer doesn't hint at a good attitude? Whose attitude? Mine? My attitude about what? What does my answer tell you about my attitude about what?

> Because IRC works. It's open, battle tested and has huge support by an endless amount of tools and documentation. There is not much reason to not use if all you wanna do is chat.

How about encryption?

> 2. If I get hired as a developer, can I have a life outside my work or I'm gonna have to learn the new hipster framework after work hours for the rest of my life?

I understand your frustration, but the phrasing doesn't hint at a great attitude here.

No, you're right. While "1.9x more" is common enough to have an agreed upon meaning, "1.9x less" is not a common expression. It's just a low quality article, don't think too much about it.

I copy pasted from wikipedia.

Thank you!!
