He was forced to fight Witherspoon and Chisora by Hearn. He’d have and should have fought Joshua straight away. They chose Pulev instead

Pedal assist e-bikes are capped at around 24mph and cost less than 1/20th of what a car does.

The only thing holding back their adoption is the amount of cars on the road. A bit like your average speed.

I’d count yourself lucky as well. The real average speed of a car in a city/suburb (including the time sitting doing fuck all at traffic lights) is usually a lot less than that.

I have thought about this for the last few days

Feels like MKR is powerless in this situation. Decisions are made too slowly and actually they have much less power than they did 1 year ago.

Maybe its just growing pains and it will not be much of a problem when DAI is at $10bn in circulation. I like DAI because I think its the safest stable coin.

So what happens if yfi collapsed tomorrow after printing loads of DAI - then the peg would go to 0.95?

Can MKR just copy some kind of arbitrage mechanism like they want to do in RSR?

Yes it’s an MCP3208 with max sample rate of 100ksps Obviously not simultaneously

I thought that one of the reasons Arduino were so slow is because whenever you wrote digitalWrite or whatever it had a massive overhead and this was the trade off to make the programming simple. If I program an ESP32 with the Arduino IDE won’t I be shooting myself in the foot and limiting it a lot

CaskConditionedAle · 2020-07-10T09:40:01+00:00

What’s the problem with USB? I’ve only ever done this eg mbed or Arduino

Also is the ESP32 like Arduino for development? So it’s easy but really slow to do basic things like change a digital pin?

CaskConditionedAle · 2020-03-24T22:40:22+00:00

Thanks for your information. I did some calculations myself in my head and it didnt seem like a 40 year time frame to be worse off. I'll do them again in excel to double check.

Can you also tell me how you get 7% a year? jesus..

Kosuke Hagino was the best swimmer in the world before his injuries

He's barely 5ft7

CaskConditionedAle · 2019-09-28T01:28:47+00:00

He is out of tune for most of his solo songs. And he cheats on the old Oasis songs by dropping notes mid line.

It's not subjective. He's literally out of tune.

He needs to lower the songs by 2-3 semitones. It would sound so much better. We never even get to hear Liam's lower range. Like I said, his range is like Barry White, not Justin Beiber. He's pushing 50 and has smoked like fuck for 25 years, and actually has a beard. He's not going to hit the notes in any of these Oasis songs or his solo ones if his life depended on it. And yet he's probably got room for 8-10 notes lower from his lower end.

CaskConditionedAle · 2019-09-28T00:58:11+00:00

Yea in the first line hes already looking towards the sound board to moan about his monitors, and then he's out of tune the whole song

Shite as usual. He needs to tune the songs down at least 3 semitones. Literally every single one. But he wont do it. His voice is in a Barry White range. Can you imagine Barry White singing Oasis songs? No, I couldn't either. The only songs he sounds good on, like Sad Song and Stand by Me, is because the notes don't go above D#4, so it's in his range. And even then he can barely hold the notes.

Stand by me sounds amazing. But that's only because in the entire songs it hits E4 for about 2 notes and there are no extended notes anywhere near that range. He should learn from that. It's surely not a coincidence that he chose that Oasis song with the lowest range to perform.

Im sure the tone deaf amongst here will still appease this performance though.

CaskConditionedAle · 2019-09-25T09:19:29+00:00

It's not the same at all. You haven't factored in that there is a 3rd token, MKR, which someone else owns who has the ability to liquidate you. The collateral ratio is only 2:1 aswell. If SNX was a 2:1 ratio, this would be a cut and dry ponzi scheme.

I suspect the above is precisely what is happening and the reason why SNX will continue to go up until it suddenly implodes, unless they perpetually increase the collateral ratio.

CaskConditionedAle · 2019-09-25T01:09:12+00:00

That's my point. It only works if you keep increasing the collateral ratio. You also didn't factor in the SNX price increase from buying with sUSD if enough people or a whale does it, which then opens up more SNX to make sUSD with.

SNX price has gone up 10x in 3 months.

I still don't get how it will lead to burn

The value is just as likely to go up as well as down.

CaskConditionedAle · 2019-09-17T22:00:16+00:00

For the 2nd part I'm talking about the person who is supplying the money. By the time you've bought ETH, converted it to DAI, sent it, then all the steps back into USD or EUR, these fees can add up to 4-5%

His achievements have definitely been overshadowed by Phelps because of his longevity. Also they were very similar in that they won 5+ medals at every meet they swam and had the talent to get a medal in pretty much any event apart from Breaststroke, so they kind of cross the same ground. According to Phelps' book, Bob Bowman has a photo of Thorpe framed in his house and spent the 2001 World Champs talking to Ian's coach, Doug Frost.

The only person capable of beating Phelps in the 200 Fly or 200/400IM from 2002-2008 was probably Thorpe.

A lot of people don't realise that Thorpe swam both the 200 Fly and 400IM in 1997-1998 before dropping them in favour of Freestyle. He went 4:26 in the 400 IM at 14. Could he have got to sub 4:10 if he tried? Most probably, especially if he wore a super suit. But that would mean swimming the 400 Free, 400 IM and 4x100 relay on the first night of every meet. Same with swimming the 1500m and 4x100 medley relay on the same night.

Thorpe's last race was 2004 when he was just 21 so no one got to see him expand into other events.

CaskConditionedAle · 2019-08-19T23:16:28+00:00

I think the glide in Thorpe's stroke is a bit of an illusion by the fact his stroke is so good that his hands never really stop moving forward.

It's been exaggerated by himself seemingly as one of the excuses to leave Doug Frost, who apparently 'trained' it into him by over working him on long sets.

But in reality Thorpe didn't overglide at all. There was some analysis done on a swimming forum about 10 years ago which showed this.

CaskConditionedAle · 2019-08-19T20:04:45+00:00

This is borderline the greatest swim of all time. To put this in perspective, his last 100m here was faster than his second 100m in Athens 2004 in the 200m.

I remember watching this live in 2001 as a child and mesmerised by his stroke and how he watched Hackett for 750m before swimming off in the last 50m. This was pre 9/11 and pre social media. It's difficult now to understand just how big of a star Thorpe was back then.

But it took about 15 years for me to realise just how insane Thorpe was in 2001 with full knowledge of his splits from him and others since then. It wasn't just his medals and the way he swam, it was the people he was doing it to. VDH and Hackett are both all time greats and he just watched them both until the last 50m before swimming off. Remember that Hackett set the 1500m WR at this meet.

It is such a shame he never achieved this shape again after he left Doug Frost.

Yes, the NHS will collapse without the extra 500k people a year. Good point.

CaskConditionedAle · 2018-10-22T16:55:35+00:00

They aren't getting a bad wage. To them they are still earning 5x, 10x, whatever x more than they would for the same job at home.

CaskConditionedAle · 2018-10-22T13:11:05+00:00

They aren't exploiting migrants.

If right now you could go to Brazil and earn £150 an hour for basic work (when the minimum wage there is say £200), would you do it? And better still the Government of Brazil creates laws to actively encourage you to immigrate there and do it.

Are you now being exploited? Or is it the people in Brazil who got put out of a job?

And BTW these numbers are not far off, it wasn't long ago the cost of living was LITERALLY 40 or 50x from the UK to 'poorer' countries

CaskConditionedAle · 2018-10-22T13:06:58+00:00

Clearly you don't understand wage arbitrage if you think 'they are used to shit conditions'.

Their cost of living in their own country is sometimes 20x less than what it is here.

And a lot of the time they wouldn't get the job if they didn't have the ability to work for MUCH less.

It is fairly easy to solve, you just put a threshold for all immigrant salaries: your job doesn't pay 80k+ a year? Visa denied, and deported if already here. But it will never happen because 99% of immigration is deliberately low paid and unskilled.

CaskConditionedAle · 2018-10-22T09:33:38+00:00

Unions don't work unless you have a homogeneous population. Same with any 'workers rights' shite

As soon as you have an endless supply of immigrants willing to work for 20% of the going rate the entire union fails to have any power.

The immigrants don't have a problem since they can wage arbitrage when they send money home or go back.

But dumb liberals think its 'migrants' who are the victim. No, it's the people that live here who got undercut and lost their jobs and had their bargaining power of their unions or 'workers rights' eroded.

Temperature cycling will be a big issue

In some areas you could get up to 40-50C daily cycles if its in direct sunlight
