It's easy to make a new browser fingerprint. Websites don't have access to your actual hardware ID (and even that can be changed).

Many/most reputable places that do this kind of trading have fixed whole market exposure, either long only or long/short (and a lot are long/short). The idea being that since it's mathematically impossible for the average hedge fund to beat the market in the long term by much (tbf, less so since the rise of index funds), they should at least be able to provide returns that aren't correlated to the stock market, as any idiot can get correlated returns.

Besides, everyone knows that just because things are getting worse doesn't mean number won't go up - you'd typically trade on the belief that number go up in some more sophisticated way, perhaps by predicting what the fed will do to make sure number go up, or how the books will be cooked to make sure number go up.

It's weird how many lefties there are in finance. I once had a discussion with a quant on how economic planning would probably work and should be tried, and I once added someone on discord and found they were in the Hasanabi discord. I guess it makes sense when your job is to see past the bs.

Saturation attacks (fire more cruise missiles than it has interceptors to defend itself) are a pretty sure fire way. You can buy 8000 cruise missiles for the cost of a single carrier.

Alternatively, antiship ballistic missiles, super long range torpedoes/unmanned submarines.

I'm not opposing the research, I'm opposing the implementation. Spending trillions of dollars because >1% of the population would be inconvenienced as you showed by having to use less developed or more expensive alternative is stupid.

Investing trillions of dollars into dead ends is, however, the enemy of progress. The ressources we're throwing at replacing existing cars with EV cars would be enough to implement better solutions.

Yes! And you know what, at that point, given the size of a minimum viable car, we could use some kind of algorithm to match people that are going similar places, and put them together to be more efficient. And I bet we'd find that a lot of the large scale transit patterns are common large parts of the population, so we could even use some kind of segregated, higher speed, more frequent vehicle for that.

While we're at it, we might as well just warehouse some of these vehicles around places where the common cores end and start, and then we would only have to match one end of the trip.

Oh wait, we already have those in operation in China: https://m.youtube.com/watch?reload=9&v=wvNOTZZeYVs

You can't create infinite information from a set of rules. Kolmogorov proved that the true amount of information in a signal is the size of smallest ruleset to produce it. The rest is really just fluff, from an information science perspective.

See: Kolmogorov complexity, and the field of algorithmic information theory.

Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo phones have Google Play outside of China.

Chinese shipbuilding is very overwhelmingly civilian.

The difference between MAD and the Samson option, is that in the former you're only attacking whoever attacked you, while in the former you're attacking bystanders that refused to intervene on your behalf.

Yes, it is, but until the fireball is smaller than a pixel, you will see a reduction in the number of pixels illuminated, and then a reduction in exposure. And I'd wager that for a sizeable bomb it will take a while for that reduction in exposure to mean you stop clipping the sensor, especially at night with the ISO dialed up.

Nah you can't, they'll be bright enough to saturate the sensor.

Because it's not true. Israel decides what comes in and out, otherwise they threaten either airstrikes or to reinvade the border region. The one thing Israel doesn't object to is to allow all Gazans to leave, but that's because they want Gaza to repopulate so they can seize it.

The condition for Israel pulling out of the border was that they would decide what gets in or out. When Egypt yesterday wanted to provide fuel and supplies, Israel threatened an airstrike.

If your goal is independence, two sources are always better than one.

Reducing fossil fuel use by increasing costs and funneling profits to America is a neoliberal approach to climate change and doesn't work. All it's going to do is make people poorer and move production of petrochemical-derived and energy-intensice products elsewhere. This is because the market is not able to make a sustainable change away from fossil fuels, especially not for a temporary wars, as these investments have to be amortized over decades. If you want to actually reduce fossil fuel use for heating and electrcity, you need governmental investment into nuclear and renewable energy and programs to install heat pumps. Becoming dependent on American gas is not actually going to help, and neither will changes in prices because it's a non-market solution.

Unless of course you think America is inherently more ethical than Russia and should be preferred - I'll let you make that argument.

There is another Nazi symbol there, the Sonnenrad.

If your goal is to hurt high finance then anticapitalist theories are correct, not salafism.

And of course it didn't mean nothing, it was a terrorist attack. It just wasn't any kind of remotely effective attack against finance or some bullshit like that, it was just an attack against the tallest building because what else would you attack with a plane. I'm not the one giving it meaning that the authors of the attack never gave it.

The entire point of financial capital is that attacks against things like their headquarters mean nothing. That's not where they get their power. All you're going to do is murder replaceable cogs for no reason.
