Also with 80%+ of all trading being algo, they are chasing each other to the bottom. The actual valuations might have been high anyway, but not to justify this.
We are likely going to hit one hell of a bounce once it does find the bottom.
I've found it to be a toxic hellhole of shit for everything else.
Especially because every non-expert thinks they are an expert, and if you aren't familiar with the subject matter, it can be difficult to spot
You can't say that about most current manufacturers
Every disclaimer you will see in the trading world has the disclaimer "Past performance is not an indication of future performance".
Everything in trading is probabilities, which is a way of thinking humans mightily struggle with.
A good day to day example is when a weather forecast calls for an 80% chance for rain on the weekend, so you cancel your camping trip. It ends up not raining, and you curse the meteorologist for being wrong.
They were not wrong - yet most people say they were, showing they are unable to think in a probabilistic way.
So reference to AlphaGo doesn't make sense here.
I pick up grammatical oddities as I read, and if I had to guess i'd say your first language is of Asian origin, possibly Filipino.
Of course that doesn't mean you aren't American, but I assume you are not vs are in this kind of situation.
It probably depends on how "American" the forum for discussion is vs global, I see HN more American then say, Reddit.
It truly is a level of "fuck you" freedom, especially after you've built up your nest egg.
I do this far more often with e-mail, sometimes i'll be e-mailing my friend about something, and then all of a sudden go on a big tangent about a problem i'm having or facing and by the time I'm finished the e-mail it's a novel, but I fleshed out my problems and it helped me immensely. I just delete the e-mail at the end / send the one liner response I had in the first place.
Writing to someone else comes from a different perspective then just journaling for yourself.
Finding the actual content in among that crap was terrible - it's almost as if they are trying to fail.
I couldn't imagine what it looks like without an ad blocker
Now that I no longer manage people or large projects this works excellent for me. I use todotxt.net for Windows, I forget what I was using when I used to use macOS, I think just vim. In windows if i'm doing some sort of batch operation I open it with notepad++ (I manage a someday.txt and horizon.txt to keep focused).
The android app is excellent, with quick widget shortcuts to add tasks, including a panel. I very often when browsing reddit, or whatever else, will "share" anything i'm interested in and then process and sort them later. Things without a context are considered my "inbox".
When I add a due date, the due date actually gets entered into my calendar as a reminder (This is EXCELLENT). Since everything is synced, it doesn't matter if I enter this from a text editor or not, the android app sees it and does the entry. I use dropbox for sync for now, which is not ideal, but I can't be bothered at the time to get my workflow setup on my sync app of choice.
I switched to google and instantly grabbed some ones from 2019
These companies get most of their profit from addicting people and keeping them addicted.
They have the same moral standing as a drug dealer.
I recently stayed in a hotel that is right next to a very major highway, and they provided ear plugs for free.
The strength of the leadership and managers is really a key component of how much % is required.
