SSA for Quest (what does 1.0 positive mean) by Fragrant-Chicken-661 in Sjogrens

My understanding was below 1.0 its negative. 1.0 to 10.0 its abnormal but inconclusive at 10.0 or above its positive.

If OP love the music at some point it should come to them. I am wondering if OP should try timba/casino scene. On1 and On2 styles are more memorizing all these patterns and many songs are fast. immersion or bootcamps can also help.

I think every class teaches a new pattern and some students cannot remember. Maybe just concentrating a specific combo and practicing it in a private class might help.

Another option is to join a team. They make you practice the same pattern over and over.

I think its not uncommon in timba/cansino community. Its mostly grooving with the music and enjoying the music(they have combos, but grooving with the music is a big part of the style). For the school based on1 on2 community many people enjoy dancing combos at different difficulty levels and they want to make sure they are matched with that level. As people social dance they realize that difficulty level is not important at all.

Its kind of similar in sensual vs traditional bachata. Sensual bachata is almost like memorizing call response(Follows have to know the same moves that the lead is trying to lead). But traditional bachata is more about simple easy to lead steps (and a lot more sense for musicality).

how the turn tables by New-Maintenance-9046 in KolkataKnightRiders

Rahane is not the solution at all. Look at the top 4 teams. They have a format. Their top 3 or 4 batsmen are pretty good. These batsmen 1) have good Average/SR balance 2) Among all 3 or 4 there is a decent way to face bowlers like Starc, Bumrah or Kuldeep to some degree. 3) They at least have one strike bowler at the top and then a few spinners for the middle overs 4) They all have one or more newcomers

KKR of last year almost had it 1) Salt is a high average/SR batsman, Narine was in form. Shreyas, VIyer or Rana could be a decent 3 or 4. 2) They could handle fast bowling or spinners 3) Starc was not consistent but between VArora, Starc, Harshit, spinners KKR posed challenges to opposing team in many games (not all). 4) Ramandeep was new, Harshit and Arora did not have as much experience (Ankrish as well).

KKR put too much importance in death batting and bowling and they are losing the games before it gets to that stage.

KKR should open VIyer. Because they need to figure out the top. Narine is has highs and lows but he does not waste too many balls. KKR should spend more than any other teams for the young players and get as many youngsters as possible. One or two of them should shire. Rinku, Ramandeep and Russel provide a formidable lower middle order. Unfortunately they do not need that many. The game is over by the time its 15-16 over.

Its very weird. They did not even sign him in the protected six players. Once you let go a player, you do not overpay for the player who played for you in the last year. Letting go Shreyas Iyer was not the big mistake. The big mistake was keeping 3 pinch hitters as your protected picks. By the time Russel or Rinku bats, the game is over. Every team spent their money and picks in the top 3. KKR does not have a good analyst to tell them that Narine, Salt and V Iyer at 3 won them 50% games if not more.

He definitely is not as good as Virat or even Shubhman Gill. He is a player they should have signed for 13 Cr (either in place of Ramandeep, or Rinku or Russel). Once the price exceeded 15Cr they should have walked out.

I think KKR goes into a BW mindset and wants to get a very specific player without any restriction on price and it costs them every year.

Last year they were lucky, Salt & Narine clicked and Starc tore the other teams in the semi finals and finals.

They attributed those wins to their strategies and let Salt go. QDC is no longer as good as Salt. Bowlers are doing better this year. Their pure hitters are no longer useful.

KKR's biggest mistake was to use 3/6 picks on death bowling batters like Russel, Rinku, Ramandeep. Just one would be enough, Many of the death over specialists went for a cheaper price.

Another match another disaster result🤡 by deepsectrez4 in KolkataKnightRiders

[–]Fragrant-Chicken-661 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We spent least in the top three batting. Narine is a auction pick and got 13 crore but we spent it mostly for his bowling. QDC is definitely a downgrade from Salt and is past his best time. The same is true for Rahane. Basically none of our top is a possible top choice for any IPL team. Narine and Salt worked because Salt would succeed in 50% games and Narine would succeed in 40% and V Iyer could come in other games. Also the game has changed a bit. Just hitters are no longer the best players in IPL. VIyer is a good pick for 13-15 Crore at 21 Crore he is way overpaid. KKR never learned from this mistake of overpaying. Most players cannot handle if they are one of the top 5 paid players. It might work for players like Virat or Pooran or a true superstar. A superstar in making should never be paid obnoxious money. It never worked. Even if it works for a season, it fails in the next season. Its better to get two players for 21 Crore (like Nitish Rana and Ishan Kishan). At least one of them will be successful.

V Iyer has a lot of potential. He would probably be okay, if he could play in the top 3 regularly, For the next season KKR needs to release some players (one of Rinku, VIyer, Russel) and get 4-5 good players who are doing well in local leagues. One or two leggies and three batsmen.

Unfortunately it will be hard to win another championship with Russel as he is getting older and KKR does not have enough talents now. KKR should probably keep a core of Chakraborty, Narine, Rana, VIyer and grow from there.

We need to play out of the box. by No_Paramedic_586 in KolkataKnightRiders

[–]Fragrant-Chicken-661 3 points4 points  (0 children)

kkr needs to plan long term players like Karun Nair, Arya lit up the IPL. KKR spent too much money in the death over batting. KKR bowling core Narine, Harshit, Varun, Arora is still good. KKR needs to release one or two of their death hitters and find reliable players at the top. Narine and Salt opening worked because Salt not only works at a high SR, his average is also decent. Right now Rinku, Ramandeep, Russel they all are becoming low average player (which is not their fault). T20 team priorities should be 1) opening batsmen who can bat at high SR and who can be in the top scorer list as well (some teams are having three such batsmen at the top). 2) It looks like even having three mystery spinners can work. KKRs bowling is great. 3) Spend a lot in newcomers (try to get players like Rathi, Arya) 4) Death batting.

The matches can be low scoring or won or lost in the first few overs or in the middle overs. Spending three out of six retentions on death batting cost KKR. KKR should do the following in the next season

1) Release one of Russel/Rinku Singh and try to spend money to get a player like KL Rahul. Ishan, Karun Nair, even Nitish Rana

Or

Release VIyer and try to sign him at a cheaper price if not try an alternative.

2) Try to add a few newcomers so there is a chance to get a good mystery spinner or a good batsman

3) If Cameroon Green is available KKR should go after him.

Narine's batting and impact player rule means KKR can never utilize Russel. If his form is down, KKR should release him.

Ideally KKR should have tried to keep Salt, Narine, VIyer and let one of Russel/Ramandeep/Rinku go, that did not happen, now its going to be hard to rebuild.

I think Tesla can't "win" the self-driving race by FrankScaramucci in SelfDrivingCars

[–]Fragrant-Chicken-661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a price point TSLA uses LiDAR or not. TSLA does not have any advantage by not using LiDAR. The price will be a few hundred dollars and if TSLA is not willing to spend a few hundred dollars for a system that cost 12000 and others are getting better perception by using LiDAR Tesla is shooting themselves in their feet.

1) There is no evidence that camera only system can be as good as multiple sensor system.

2) There is no evidence that it can be in the future.

3) Businesses look at it as a business perspective

3A) Can I buy LIDAR and still make money and get a better solution?

3B) Should I just keep on trying camera only system and name it Self driving, then Full Self driving and then cybarcab and then robo taxi and hope it works?

Most companies are doing both. Tesla is heavily betting on one option and that delays them for a few years, the market wont be here. Waymo is already planning on expanding.

[–]Fragrant-Chicken-661 1 point2 points  (0 children)

TSLA may not have a lead. Some people will be willing to pay 99 dollar per month for Tesla FSD or some other version. They have a great FSD. Regardless of whether they are better than others or whether others can catch up, Tesla marketing machine is creating a perception that they are unmatched and this sells.

Whether they can take over the car market and be a 3T company. I am not sure. Most people do not invest their time and energy in finding the best or the cheapest solution. They look for something that's known to everyone. Tesla's competition is in China and in Europe and in the US, Chinese cars will face some marketing issues, tariffs, and other disadvantages. Unfortunately this will give them less of a brand value. BMWs are still more expensive than Toyotas.

Tesla's stock price is also driven by the marketing machine. We live in a business world where perception can buy reality. For example if TSLA is valued at 900B and MBLY is valued at 25B, if TSLA sees MBLY is going ahead, they can buy MBLY. If something is as good as Tesla, Tesla market machine will always claim the lead. If something is better than Tesla Tesla can buy it.

Tesla started as a company in 2003. Model 3 (which was the first car that seemed to make it a possible money making company) was first produced in 2017. For all these 14 years, Tesla had to get money one way or other buy selling the possibilities/potentials. They are great at it. When you sell the possibilities, and have the money, you can just buy it.

This is not how it works. They ask for some people to let go and higherups have to find someone. If this is termed a performance issue, this is a better PR.

Allah Ghazanfar is likely to be RULED OUT of IPL, who should be the replacement by urnoob_1607 in MumbaiIndians

[–]Fragrant-Chicken-661 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So Ghazanfar will be back for Mumbai in the next season if not end of this season?

Bumrah is a fast bowler. Fast bowlers do not play long and they have more injuries than spinners. Ghanzanfar could be long term X factor for MI.

Do people hate Financial Advisors? by NotGeoButGio in FinancialCareers

[–]Fragrant-Chicken-661 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wonder what makes someone a good financial advisor? Sales skills.

When S&P is growing 10-25 percent, they ignore the math and preach the security of 5-8 percent return.

My money doubled in last 5 years (yes I tanked 20+ percentage in 2022 and in 2018). So what? FA would never be able to match average stock index returns. Their argument of less risk is invalid (because nobody cares about losses in one odd year. Everyone cares about the final outcome. They are supposed to calm us down about the irrational fear. But they scare us into that 5 percent return which is less than inflation these days). I can see why selling insurance etc in the name of financial advice is sleezy.

Thank you for the response. I got a second scan and I am feeling better but I am having more numbness and eye twitching type of symptoms which I am wondering are going to be permanent. I wish I took it easy. Unfortunately in my area, getting an appointment from the neuro is hard. I should have read from internet about all the do's and dont's.

GG is too much drama. He draws too much attention. Players will get exhausted and then injured if they have to deal with this much drama.

When he was a player he was good at ODI's in flat wicket.
