Sorry for self replying but I just had a look at the repo and it's definitely worth fully automating this.
A js/python snippet converting pngs to superwhite video frames should be fairly easy to implement.
You also only really need the video to push the browser to do things in HDR. You can’t express a CSS colour way outside the normal range, but blending calculations are not clamped so can be used to get the colour. https://github.com/kiding/wanna-see-a-whiter-white was posted here a while ago and demonstrated the technique.
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted when that's exactly what's happening. The QR code comes from the mask-image in the inline-style, not the video.
I think the actual point is more about managing volatility rather than maximizing expected value as the investment horizon becomes more and more short term.
Of course this doesn't apply if you plan to pass it on to your family - which might be what's happening here, besides people sticking to habits.
There's always "some" interface under the hood you can automate on - unless they start requiring captchas for every interaction.
It might not be as comfy to use as the official API but still better than manually deleting hundreds or thousands of comments.
This is very basic but I read both at a young age and I'm massively happy I did.
1st one being "Thinking fast and slow" by Daniel Kahneman - completely reshaped my model of how much we are in control of our thought process.
2nd one was "Thus spoke Zarathustra" by Nietzsche - which is a very difficult read. Overall Nietzsche's approach to philosophy just immediately resonated with me and sent me down a path of thought that's still the foundation of my world model today. The whole approach of seeing life as inherently meaningless so meaning can be chosen at will was a great thing to have growing up.
You definitely don't need to read the book to get there though - just reading a summary of what Nietzsche is about will probably be enough.
Totally agree when it comes to "general insights" here.
You're probably not gonna solve any major problems even though it feels like it in the moment.
However, imho. altering the thought process through drugs and really introspecting on what changes and how that relates to the sober state can yield a LOT of valuable learnings.
I feel like I learned a lot about myself just by introspecting on the effects alcohol, THC, etc. had on me.
Really gave me some insights on how associations are formed, what euphoria does to decision making and so on.
How's advocating for nuclear power related to demonizing environmentalist politics?
Shouldn't it be an obvious fit to help reduce CO2 - which is the currently the biggest topic of the green movement?
Nuclear plants are not green, just greener than fossils. And they have no real benefits overall, but bring many problems to the table. So yeah, while they technically would reduce emissions, other options will reduce them even more, with significant less problems and more flexibility.
But the actual point is that people who rage about shutting off nuclear plants, usually don't bring these arguments, and don't care for the environment. Many of the more vocal ones somehow have adopted the mindset that environmentalists aim to destroy modern society, because they are against cars and harmful industry, so they want to reset everything into a medieval state. And nowadays, they seem to drift very hard into arguments of the "Great Reset" conspiracy and the like. And one result of this thinking is to be against everything which their enemies want, and support all of what their enemies hate, like nuclear plants.
So, what I mean to say is, there is a loud group of people who support nuclear plants, because they hate environmentalist for whatever reason, not the other way around. And while not all supporter of nuclear plants are from that group, it seems to be at the moment the msot vocal group.
A neverending stream of dynamic content based on audience interaction. It's way more entertaining than I anticipated. This should also be fairly easy to monetize - either by having people donate for interaction or by including ads.
This feels like a solid glimpse of the truly new things that we'll likely see take shape soon.
Agree that the spiral as a core reason is total BS but for both the US and Europe it goes beyond just increasing the money supply.
Reducing the supply of goods/materials will have the same effect - even at a constant money supply.
In Europe the ECB/EU gov is hiding behind the War in Ukraine and global supply chain issues to hide what is mostly their own pandemic purchasing program and overspending driving massive inflation.
Then there's also their there's also sanctions, trade wars and over-regulation adding fuel to the fire.
Of course none of these are a "natural effect from market dynamics" - as much as they'd love to make it sound like that.
That doesn't mean you'd be trying to sell for lower prices, does it?
A (sufficiently rational) investor's willingness to sell is mainly a function of current price vs. expected future returns compared to other viable alternatives - which of course includes the dividends paid and any other benefits they might gain from ownership.
And yes, there's also changes in personal need for currency, psychological reasons, etc. but I'd consider these special cases.
Even in your case if you had any good indication towards the stock you're owning being severely overpriced, the likely optimal thing to to would be to sell and dump the money into the next best alternative.
I'd also suggest to be careful in the assumption that "holding a stock forever" is a good idea. Very few companies have existed forever so far.
This one might not pass today but in 5-10 years we'll likely just be fine with it if the narrative continues to evolve on its current trajectory.
