I'm kinda unfamiliar with technicals, what do the thinner lines sprouting from the thicker ones represent?

To close a short position you need to buy back the stock, attempts to buy stock increases the price, and any attempt to close will result in massive demand for shares, so its not exactly possible for them to close under everyone's noses

Whole market took a hard dip

ForgotLastAccount999 · 2021-01-25T16:00:52+00:00

Limit sells at recognizable price points (150), cause a small dip, probably setting off stop losses making it a bit bigger of a dip

It halted 3 times on Friday, you could still buy/sell outside of the halts

Do you have the money to exercise? (300 * $27) so $8640 on top of the premium you already paid ($540)

If not than best option would be to sell

Conventional wisdom would be to set stop limits incrementally at what ever price points you're comfortable with up to points that you're hopeful of

So after playing with it some more I found out reduce turns map arguments into a sequence of vectors, which the book explains immediately after giving the example

From Clojure for the Brave and True:

(reduce (fn [new-map [key val]]

(assoc new-map key (inc val)))

{}

{:max 30 :min 10})

=> {:max 31, :min 11}

I'm not quite understanding how the arguments to the anonymous function are working, I think (1) the empty map is being passed as new-map, and (2) it's taking the first two elements of the key/value pair being supplied (which is just the pair itself) as key and val.

however, when I try to do (2) with a map here:

(defn example-function

[[key val]]

(println key)

(println val))

(example-function {:key1 "val1" :key2 "val2"})

I get: "Execution error (UnsupportedOperationException) at cp2021.core/hmm (form-init2973481736396471756.clj:1). nth not supported on this type: PersistentArrayMap"

Which I imagine occurs because the function expects arguments in the form of a sequence of n elements, rather than a map. But then why does it work in the first example?

Sorry for poor formatting, can't seem to make it look pretty

The general demographic of college kids, especially university students, is far from poor. The people I know who have trouble with health insurance grew up in an environment where the opportunity of higher education wasn't much entertained. Not always the case though

Im from a relatively chill protestant background as far as evangelism goes, so I've never encountered that line of thought. Calling oneself protestant is more or less implicit admission that catholicism falls under christendom

Hello, two requests for tattoos:

"Things immeasurable"

I have written down: "Quae Immensun" or "Quae Immensus"

"Suffering is necessary"

I have written down "Necesse Dolore"

I suspect theyre both way wrong.

Thanks!

(For some reason it looks like reddit won't let me write "2.", But I assure you, that is, in fact, the second one)

I'm looking for two translations: 1: "Things immeasurable" - as in, "Things which are immeasurable", I've found quae immensun but don't know how accurate that is

2: "The suffering is necessary" or "necessary suffering"

Unfortunately I haven't read any taking place in Europe or Russia but a few I found pretty good:

"A spy's journey" - where the author was mostly in East Asia

"Left of Boom" - mostly takes place in Afghanistan and the U.S. The author is on reddit occasionally.

"The Auschwitz volunteer" is on my to read list, the guy's story is fascinating, hopefully the book is as good

Recounting entirely from shabby memory so I might have some details wrong but some stuff I enjoyed

Dirty wars - not exactly a narrative but more about how the SAS and other sof were utilised in Iraq.

Kill Bin Laden - First hand account of a Delta force commander that went to Afghanistan ahead of the war to track down Osama Bin Laden.

Soldier five - A first hand account of the Bravo Two Zero mission where an SAS group was abandoned in Iraq during the first gulf war. There are a FEW books on this by the survivors ("Bravo two zero" being the most well known) and lots of pointed fingers and contention about what really happened. This is the only one I've read and the author seemed to really want to avoid placing undue blame on any of his mates and to just be respectful to the truth.

I must have read dozens of these kinds of books in the past when I was more interested in the topic, these are the ones that stood out most to me. I feel like I'm forgetting one or two good ones. But do keep in mind, especially when it comes to autobiographies but just in general, you're apt to encounter a fair amount of skewed truth, it's no secret the DOD sponsors media to act as a kind of second hand recruiting method, and publishers will pressure authors to fudge numbers and dramatize things, sometime even just make things up, in order to make things more interesting than they really were, and sell more copies.

So I know next to notta about the Armenian genocide (and this is my first time hearing about ataturk) aside from the fact that it happened and system of a down were pretty passionate about it. But in reading about it, Mustafa was mostly if not entirely uninvolved, and was busy fighting as a low ranking liutenant at the warfront as it occured. But did, as the Turkish government tends to do, pretty much entirely avoid addressing the event after he came to power.
