You're right but also wrong. The underlying Bitcoin will always be there but it's unsure if it's going to $100k or $0 tomorrow. There are arguments for both. But if it does either, the margin call will bankrupt the trading houses.
Interactive Brokers will only allow long trades! How is that possible?
And the scary thing is that he's rich enough and smart enough to sink it by himself. He pioneered high speed trading. And I agree with him. You don't want this level of volatility in a futures market. The regulators dropped the ball. But why does he constantly call this a bubble yet only allow customers to go long?
With the news that Steam will no longer take Bitcoin, Bitcoin went up. That's crazy.
There's something going on here. For this thing to spike so high right before its open in futures... Maybe not a coincidence. I can't imagine a better Wall Street dream. They have a product that can't be used, can't be forged, doesn't even exist, and they get to gamble on where they think it will go. Somebody knows what they are doing. I wish I knew if it was being pushed up or down.
Anybody else wondering if it's the weapon to bankrupt your investing competitors?
I'm doing my best to figure it out but it's real hard to get data on these houses. If I see something, I'll post it.
I think that BTC and other crypto mediums are simply today's PET ROCK and while a form may survive...isn't this the 'easily manipulated and controled' form of exchange that we all have been warned to avoid?
...isn't this the 'easily manipulated and controled' form of exchange that we all have been warned to avoid?
No, I think you're confusing BTC with USD.
Last night and this morning I listened to Jack's crypto currency episode. I don't regularly listen to every new show, but will spot download topics of interest.
Crypto currency infrastructure will be where the steady growth lies.
This was true during the 1849 California gold rush. Levi Strauss made more selling denim overalls than anyone mining for gold.
I also think of what Apple/iTunes did for mp3 and digital music. I had mp3s in the late 1990s, but it was for computer geeks. The technology was mostly there, but apple wrapped it up into a simple attractive package, so even the simplest of users could use it.
Someone will do similar for crypto and become a billionaire.
Pieces are coming together. 40% of Bitcoin is Japanese buyers.
Japan is arguably the largest country for forex trading because the Yen has a negative interest rate. These are short term, get rich quick traders. I should point out that Japanese banks offer some of the highest leverage. And wouldn't you know they let "investors" leverage Bitcoin.
So the futures quants in NYC are looking at this and realizing almost half of the Bitcoin rally is leveraged Japanese accounts. And they know the dirty little secret. Leveraged accounts can't afford to lose money.
It turns out the rally isn't the true believers but an Asian forex trade. I think we've done some damage coming up with the "hoddlers" slur. They're not driving the market at all.
Lots of moving pieces here. I'm trying my best to put it together. When I get something, I will share it post haste.
I think we've done some damage coming up with the "hoddlers" slur.
It's not a slur, Hodlers wear it with pride.
It's not a joke to me. I intentionally avoid slurs in the economic realm.
I try to provide the most up to date data and I get glib from a mod.
I'm done. Do your own math.
You know what is surprisingly complex, is setting up automatic dollar-cost-averaging for anything other than BTC.
I have coinbase setup to take $50 each payday, but they only have options to buy BTC on recurring. Last I checked there's not an integrated "shapeshift" in coinbase either.
So I've started using jaxx for my main wallets, and coinbase is just the integration to my USD bank account(s).
In Jaxx I can swap between almost any alt-coin out there.
My current strategy is to gradually accumulate LiteCoin and Dash. I was discussing with a co-worker who recently moved to the US from Serbia on a work visa. He is younger, but having lived through multiple Balkan conflicts, and schizophrenic foreign policies - he is a fascinating contrarian investor to talk with.
He is way more bullish on crypto than I am, but he is also practical. He said BTC is like gold. You don't buy dinner or pay your bills with it. It sits in the safe until you need to make a major purchase. So to him the slow mining and high fees are tolerable in that context. It's like liquidating a gold bar or old time paper stock certificate.
We both agree whichever consumer level coin gets widely adopted will be a sound investment long term. Maybe it'll take a national fastfood chain or other retailer, but already the legal cannibis shops up here are beginning to integrate with DSH. If the pot shops can make DSH work, Amazon and Wal-Mart eventually could too.

Personally I think the term "accumulate" is more appropriate. Similar as you would with a bluechip stock. But even stock holders of old school industrial giants should have an exit strategy. The lack of this among many of the BTC "horders" detracts from their credibility in some circles.
Given it took me over 24 hours to "shapeshift" about $50USD worth of BTC into DSH, I'm only using BTC when I must.
But even stock holders of old school industrial giants should have an exit strategy. The lack of this among many of the BTC "horders" detracts from their credibility in some circles.
Pretty much all circles, really. A recent survey showed an average target sell price of just under $200k/bitcoin. Even for a bitcoin maximalist like myself, that's absolutely mind blowing.
Of course that completely neglects all kinds of market drivers, but it does put some kind of quantitative perspective on it. Maybe another way to look at it is there's likely only about 10x upside left to bitcoin. Normally a 10x upside is pretty good, but there's also a pretty steep downside possible too.
I'm definitely not an expert here! I'll just say that any investments with potential down sides that are more conveniently expressed on a log scale are too hot for me.
The BTC price rose overnight and is currently trading above one pound of gold.
I've probably wasted a day of my life research crypto mining hardware, it's costs, throughput and capabilities.
There are MANY problems with getting into mining, and I mean real mining that produces > $100USD monthly. Not spending $0.25 of electricity so you iPad poops out $0.05 in crypto.
Based on all that, I feel DSH is perhaps the smartest kid in summer school here.
But even if I could find a Miner for sale on amazon, I'm not confident the valuation would not decrease before the miner paid for itself.
You also have the broader problem of paying yourself in the thing you're producing. If you grow tons of tomatoes, you probably need to convert some to cash to pay the rent.
Great, you mined 5 coins!
Do you exit into USD, preserving the bulk of the value (ignore inflation for now), but exposing yourself to capital gains taxes?
What's the point of tooling up to "beat the house" if all you can ever do with your winnings is place larger bets?
I've heard mining compared to being a land lord, where the property owner starts with a single unit, saves profits, invests in a second unit, etc.
Soon the property owner is buying whole apartment complexes, has a good CPA and does crafty, but legal, tricks to leverage tax rules.
While the re-investment portion may be possible with crypto, there needs to be some smart business acumen to bridge back to the fiat/gov world.
Anyone who's followed Robert Kiyosaki, will know what I mean.
Mining has always seemed to me like a much bigger risk than just buying the crypto from someone else and riding the appreciation wave.
Coinbase just released BCH equivalent to the amount of BTC held on August 1, but the price is crazy high and sales are disabled.
U.S. regulators temporarily suspended trading in an obscure digital currency company due to concerns that its stock is being manipulated after the shares surged more than 17,000 percent in less than three months, making paper billionaires out of top executives.
My son was doing cartwheels when I came through the door tonight. Apparently a few months of his allowance in BTC had turned into a few hundred in BCH. Well that has since fallen to 1/4 that amount, and unable to sell we just watched helplessly. To a 13 year old, he just witness a new Xbox being thrown into the ocean.
... The company is the product of a reverse merger with a sports bra company.
Yeah, with the price at $8500, I was maniacally pounding on my mouse like a crack addicted monkey.
I don't disagree with any of his points, but I don't know how well it corresponds with Taleb's conception, although a quick google search reveals recent positive comments from him about BTC.
Am I the only one worried about tax implications? I'm not a CPA or tax professional, but I know enough to postpone large capital gains of equities until the new year.
Do BTC and other alt-coin holders do similar?
Can we expect a huge dump of BTC/BCH next month (Jan 2018)?
Does anyone have the stones to create a stop-loss?
Holding this stuff after making 10x gains is moronic. Sell when able and go buy an asset with that money like a real capitalist.
This is why I traded my BTC to physical gold .
Sounds like the ideal time to limit how much you could lose off the current price. Which is exactly what a stop-loss does. Seems like there's a lot of price flux, so unless you want to monitor the price every second a stop-loss is a good way to limit the downside risk.
The ones who are fully in on cryptos will set up benchmarks and withdraw funds once those benchmarks are hit. They'll then take those earnings and invest them in emerging coins (Ripple was one popular option a few of my friends were discussing... I know that it has doubled in price in a short timeframe).
I'm personally not in on crypto's at the moment because the wife and I are saving every penny for a new home (going to wait till the real estate market here in Illinois crashes as a result of tax reform... we have anywhere from 9-18 months to sock away as much as possible), but after we get everything all set up, we'll most likely start to dip our toes in crypto at that time.
My hope is that the DoJ and SEC will have stuck their noses in a little further and legitimatized the exchanges a bit more by that point. Right now, I'd be terrified that my wallet was going to get breeched as I slept, and the lack of FDIC insurance makes that a potentially devastating loss.
For me (and I'm certainly not speaking for anyone else)... I don't want to take 5% of my retirement portfolio and put it into what is essentially a casino right now. I'd rather take the money and put it into savings for the down payment on a home in what should, hopefully, be a buyers market in the next 18 months as a result of tax reform putting the squeeze on existing homeowners who are going to be taxed out of dwellings.
So your hope is more government with a little more government sprinkled on top. Please stay out of crypt-currency. The whole point by the way is that you should not be holding money in exchanges. If you want the safety of violence backed currency - stick with debtcoin.

June 8, 2015 DCMontreal1 Comment on MLB Must Act Now To Protect Fans
MLB Must Act Now To Protect Fans
(Charles Krupa/Associated Press)
During a recent Red Sox game at Fenway Park a woman, sitting in the expensive seats along the third base line, was struck by the business end of a broken bat. At this time she remains hospitalized in a 'life-threatening' condition. While I understand that being close to the action is a considerable draw for baseball fans, it is time Major League Baseball takes action to ensure fans' safety before – fingers crossed – there is a fatality.
I hope MLB will not wait for a fatality before considering the installation of mesh behind the dugouts.
The National Hockey League used to have much lower glass ringing the rink. Officials regularly grabbed the top of the glass to hoist themselves out of harm's way when players clashed along the boards. This is no longer possible as the glass is much higher and affords better protection for fans.
Then in March of 2002 Brittanie Nichole Cecil was struck by a puck while watching a game in Columbus, Ohio. She would subsequently die from the injury, the only fatality in the league's history. But one too many.
Much like closing the stable door after the horse has bolted, the NHL made it mandatory that teams install mesh netting at the ends of the rinks. Some felt this would compromise visibility, but it has become accepted, albeit too late for Brittanie.
For years the low glass and lack of mesh provided fans sitting behind the net with countless souvenir pucks. How the league went for 85 years without a fatality is a mystery to me. Imagine Bobby Hull with his banana-like curved stick and wicked slap-shot, or for that matter a man nicknamed Boom Boom, the Canadiens Bernie Geoffrion, because of the power of his slapper, having their shot tipped by an opposing player's stick and up into the crowd.This happened literally countless times, yet miraculously without a death.
The recent incident in Boston, like all foul balls, broken bats, and lost grip flying bats, was an accident. There was certainly no intention. However MLB is intentionally not making netting mandatory, and must therefore be held accountable. I hope MLB will not wait for a fatality before considering the installation of mesh behind the dugouts. It only takes a few moments, maybe less than two innings, to get used to it. It may well save your life.

F0r years, I have wondered about how close we've come to getting whacked by foul balls, and broken pieces of bat. But apparently someone will have to die before they do anything. I don't get it either.

SYMPOSIUM - UVEITIS UPDATE
Appraisal, work-up and diagnosis of anterior uveitis: A practical approach
Carl P Herbort
Retinal and Inflammatory Eye Diseases, Centre for Ophthalmic Specialized Care and University of Lausanne, Lausanne, Switzerland
Retinal, Inflammatory and External Eye Diseases, Centre for Specialized Ophthalmic Care (COS), 6, Rue de la Grotte, CH-1003 Lausanne
This article presents a comprehensive approach of the diagnosis of anterior uveitis and appropriate investigational tests based on clinical signs. Uveitis has classically been presented by uveitis specialists as an obscure and complicated field in ophthalmology that was supposed to be restricted to the happy few who had the knowledge, which in some countries was even prevented from being diffused. The effect was that ophthalmologists turned away from uveitis or were not correctly armed when they chose to take care of uveitis patients. The consequences of this situation often fell upon the patients. Since more than 15 years our group has been represented by the Society for Ophthalmo-Immunoinfectiology in Europe (SOIE), which has been working to alter this image of uveitis and ensure that the knowledge of the basics of uveitis reaches the practicing ophthalmologist. Our firm believe is that up to 70% of uveitis cases, especially anterior uveitis, can be taken care of by the practicing ophthalmologist following a structured approach in the appraisal of the uveitis case. Judging from the attendance obtained, the response to our approach in every country (where we organise courses) has been inversely proportional to the previous disinterest since we started publicizing it.

Q: Intercept events on modal feature in Magento 2 I need to intercept the "closed" event for a Modal popup in Magento 2 but i don't know where and how to do it.
This is the script within the template file, it works great but, as i wrote, i need to intercept the closed event to stop the video play.

<script>
    require(
            [
                'jquery',
                'Magento_Ui/js/modal/modal'
            ],
            function ($, modal) {
                var options = {
                    type: 'popup',
                    responsive: true,
                    title: $.mage.__('Title Text'),
                    buttons: [{
                            text: $.mage.__('Close'),
                            class: '',
                            click: function () {
                                this.closeModal();
                                var video = document.getElementById("Video1");
                                video.pause();
                            }
                        }]
                };
                var popup = modal(options, $('#modalVideo'));
                $("#modalVideoOpen").on("click", function () {
                    $('#modalVideo').modal('openModal');
                    var video = document.getElementById("Video1");
                    video.play();
                });
            }
    );
</script>

A: $('#modalVideoOpen').data('mage-modal').modal.on('modalclosed', function(){console.log('closed')})

The modal widget triggers 'closed' event and as jquery doc says "the event type is determined by concatenating the plugin name and the callback name", we should subscribe on 'modalclosed'

A: you can also specify it in the options :
var options = {
    type: 'popup',
    responsive: true,
    title: $.mage.__('Title Text'),
    closed: function (e) {
        // fun here!
    }
};

, escrit com BibTeX en text ordinari, és una eina per a donar format a llistes de referències que s'utilitza habitualment amb el sistema de preparació de documents LaTeX.

BibTeX va ser creat per Oren Patashnik i Leslie Lamport en 1985. BibTeX facilita la realització de cites bibliogràfiques d'una manera consistent mitjançant la separació de la informació bibliogràfica de la presentació d'aquesta informació. Aquest mateix principi de separació del contingut i presentació/estil és usat tant per LaTeX, com per XHTML i CSS, a més d'altres sistemes de format electrònic de textos.

Fitxer/Arxiu d'informació bibliogràfica .bib
BibTeX usa un format d'arxiu basat en text i independent de l'estil per a definir llistes d'elements bibliogràfics, com articles, llibres, tesis. Els arxius de bibliografia de BibTeX usualment acaben en .bib.
Els ítems bibliogràfics inclosos en un .bib estan separats per tipus. Els tipus següents són reconeguts per virtualment tots els estils de BibTeX:
 article: Un article d'un periòdic o revista.
 book: Un llibre amb una editorial que s'indica en forma explícita. Els camps requerits en aquest cas són author (autor), editor, title (títol), publisher (editorial) i year (any).
 booklet: Una obra que està impresa i enquadernada, però sense una editorial o institució patrocinadora.
 conference: El mateix que inproceedings, inclòs per a compatibilitat amb el llenguatge de marcació Scribe.
 inbook: Una part d'un llibre, que pot ser un capítol (o secció) o un rang de pàgines.
 incollection: Una part d'un llibre que té el seu propi títol.
 inproceedings: Un article en les actes de sessions (proceedings) d'una conferència.
 manual: Documentació tècnica.
 mastersthesis: Una tesi de mestratge (Master thesis) o projecte de fi de carrera.
 misc:Per a ús quan els altres tipus no corresponen.
 phdthesis: Una tesi de doctorat.
 proceedings: Les actes de sessions d'una conferència.
 techreport: Un informe publicat per una escola o altra institució, usualment numerat dins d'una sèrie.
 unpublished: Un document que té un autor i títol, però que no va ser formalment publicat.

Blair Witch PC Performance Analysis
September 4, 2019 John Papadopoulos 5 Comments
Blair Witch is the latest first-person psychological thriller game from Bloober Team. After receiving its first performance patch, it's time to benchmark this new first-person game and see how it performs on the PC platform.
For this PC Performance Analysis, we used an Intel i7 4930K (overclocked at 4.2Ghz) with 16GB of DDR3 RAM at 2133Mhz, AMD's Radeon RX580 and RX Vega 64, NVIDIA's RTX 2080Ti, GTX980Ti and GTX690, Windows 10 64-bit, GeForce driver 436.15 and the Radeon Software Adrenalin 2019 Edition 19.8.2. NVIDIA has not included any SLI profile for this title, meaning that our GTX690 performed similarly to a single GTX680.
Bloober Team has implemented a few graphics settings to tweak. PC gamers can adjust the quality of Anti-Aliasing, Shadows, Textures, SSS, Resolution Scaling and Lens Flares. There are also options for Motion Blur, SSAO, SSR and Separate Translucency. Moreover, there is an FPS cap option (though the game also supports unlocked framerates).
In order to find out how the game scales on multiple CPU threads, we simulated a dual-core and a quad-core CPU. Blair Witch uses DX11 and appears to be mainly single-threaded. Moreover, the game relies heavily on the memory frequency, something that may bottleneck older PC configurations. Still, and despite these shortcomings, even our simulated dual-core system was able to run the game with constant 60fps. Therefore, in order to enjoy this game at 60fps, PC gamers will not need a high-end CPU. On the other hand, those targeting 120fps will have to use a modern-day CPU.
Despite its somehow "okay-ish" CPU requirements, Blair Witch requires a high-end GPU in order to be enjoyed, even at 1080p. Not only that, but the game under-performs on AMD's hardware. We know that some Unreal Engine 4 games perform horribly on AMD's hardware, however in this particular game the GTX980Ti was able to match the performance of the AMD Radeon RX Vega 64.
At 2560×1440, the only GPU that was able to provide a smooth gaming experience was the NVIDIA GeForce RTX2080Ti. As for 4K, NVIDIA's most powerful graphics card was unable to offer a smooth gaming experience.
We were unable to hit 60fps even when we used the following custom settings. The only way we could achieve a 60fps experience in 4K was by lowering the Resolution Scaling to "Half".
Now we wouldn't mind such high GPU requirements if the game justified them. However, and while the game looks great for the most part, it does not. Bloober has used high resolution textures and there are some cool environmental effects (like God Rays). Still, there is nothing here we haven't seen before in other triple-A games. I know it's not fair comparing a small team with a triple-A studio, however, Blair Witch currently suffers from major optimization issues. Not only that, but due to the lack of meaningful graphics settings, the game cannot properly scale on older GPUs.
It's also worth noting that the game uses an awful Depth of Field filter. Thankfully, PC gamers can disable it (as well as Chromatic Aberration) by editing the engine.ini file. All you have to do is open that file and add the following lines.
[SystemSettings]
r.DepthOfFieldQuality=0
r.SceneColorFringeQuality=0
All in all, Blair Witch needs major optimization and performance fixes/patches. Thankfully, the game does not require a high-end CPU for gaming at 60fps, though it's still limited by the DX11 API. As said, the game requires high-end GPUs, does not justify its high GPU requirements, and does not scale on older graphics cards. Here is hoping that Bloober Team will be able to resolve the game's performance issues via post-launch updates.

President Trump claimed terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka killed 138 million people, a death toll nearly twice that of the Second World War

Donald Trump claimed on Sunday that the terrorist attacks in Sri Lanka killed 138 million people, a death toll nearly twice that of the Second World War.
The president botched the death toll as he offered his condolences for the horrific Easter Sunday attack, which has killed more than 200 people, writes Daily Mail.
'Heartfelt condolences from the people of the United States to the people of Sri Lanka on the horrible terrorist attacks on churches and hotels that have killed at least 138 million people and badly injured 600 more. We stand ready to help!' Trump wrote.
The tweet stayed up for 20 minutes before it was deleted and a new statement was posted.
'138 people have been killed in Sri Lanka, with more that 600 badly injured, in a terrorist attack on churches and hotels,' Trump wrote in the new tweet.
'The United States offers heartfelt condolences to the great people of Sri Lanka. We stand ready to help!'
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo revealed on Sunday that 'several' American citizens were killed in the bombings, which has been blamed on religious extremists.
Five British citizens, including two dual U.S.-U.K. nationals, were also killed in the bombings, according to Sri Lanka's Foreign Ministry.
'These vile attacks are a stark reminder of why the United States remains resolved in our fight to defeat terrorism,' Pompeo said in a statement.
'Attacks on innocent people gathering in a place of worship or enjoying a holiday meal are affronts to the universal values and freedoms that we hold dear, and demonstrate yet again the brutal nature of radical terrorists whose sole aim is to threaten peace and security.'
Pompeo said the U.S. Embassy in Colombo, Sri Lanka's capital, is currently working to assist U.S. citizens and their families.
The White House also released an official statement condemning the attacks in the 'strongest terms.'
'Our heartfelt condolences go out to the families of the more than 200 killed and hundreds of others wounded,' it read.
'We stand with the Sri Lankan government and people as they bring to justice the perpetrators of these despicable and senseless acts.'
Eight explosions ripped through high-end hotels and churches as suspected suicide bombers blew themselves up on Sunday.
Seven people have been arrested in connection with the attacks.
