I’m also on Mastodon as https://hachyderm.io/@BoydStephenSmithJr .
Just because you are wrong about your expected value calculations (or were right but the actual return was on the lower end of the range) and have made a bad investment doesn’t change the fact that it was an investment because you were doing it for the returns.
In short, performance doesn’t matter for this distinction, at least IMO.
The other suggestions are probably better, but you can technically self-host Wire (from Wire Gmbh) but I’ve never done it successfully.
Cube theory clearly established that hot dogs are tacos. It’s all based on the location of structural starches.
IMO: When you do it for the entertainment/feeling/rush, it’s gambling. When you do it for the returns, it is investing. I also think the other poster that mentioned investing as being interested in the success of the endeavor, that would exclude shorting and I think might be a useful distinction.
Casino games and sports betting all have lower expected value (probabilistic value) than their cost, so they are not something you can do for returns (you have better expected returns by not participating).
There are plenty of people that are misinformed, dishonest, or stuck finding a bigger fool that will sell you a gamble by calling it an investment, and expected value is not guaranteed value.
New messages will show on all your devices, but yes, it is intentional that old messages are not available to new devices.
Late to the party. Idris had a bash backend (i.e. you could compile Idris to bash), and it’s already bit rotted with new Idris versions.
I hope the language is at least as cool as Idris.
I believe it, but I came to the comments to check.
Same switch point for me, roughly, going from a Pixel 4 with jack to a Pixel 7 without.
There are situations where I prefer BT earbuds over wired buds, and I haven’t tried the adapters, yet, but I still long for a audio jack: it’s a lot quicker to switch my buds from work laptop to personal phone when they are wired.
I will look for a audio jack when buying my next phone… maybe someone will have figured a way to “hack” one into a Fairphone body?
Mine is close to that. I still had a working libc, but the dynamic library for C++ programs wouldn’t load, so most of the Gentoo tools and several other things I expected simply crashed on startup.
Found enough working programs to get the library restored and remove the bad arch flags from my configuration to start another emerge world.
After that, I was pretty confident that I could run Linux at least as confidently as I had previously run WinNT 4.
I build my own. Though I still need non-free software to run, I don’t think it is from any DMCA enforcers.
System76 is not too bad if you want something mildly customizable but don’t want to futz with doing assembly yourself. I get my laptops from them.
I’ve tried open phones (multiple) and I still use a Pixel. There is a choice, but I was willing to trade off my freedom for function there. I wish that wasn’t the choice and when I can I support efforts to make it easier for people to choose freedom there.
So, yeah, there is often a choice. Doesn’t make the status quo acceptable.
Theocratic confusion. Republicans worship Supply-Sidr Jesus. Christians model themselves after Jesus of Nazareth, Christ. The similar names are a source of confusion.
Also neither is related to Jesus that sells tamles at the farmer’s market, tho I hear he is a pretty good guy.
Right now? Probably.
In the past, definitely: https://techcrunch.com/2022/09/29/amnesty-report-facebook-rohingya-reparations/
Great comment. I can’t figure out which “one” you are talking about, because I find Facebook/Meta oppressive.
The DJIA (e.g.) isn’t “the house”. It isn’t something you are competing with in that your losses are its/their gain. You are misunderstanding both investing (in general and the stock market specifically) and gambling when you make that confusion/analogy.
Not beating the market but having positive returns is only “losing” when infinite exponential growth is the goal. Beating the market but having negative returns is not “winning”.
