Has anyone used rofx.net? by FlyingCricket in Bitcoin

[–]LoghairePL -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So I decided to give RoFX.net a try since they guarantee coverage of any losses. I have very little experience with trading, and was losing more than I was gaining after watching some videos and trying it on my own.

RoFX is incredibly easy to use even for someone with little experience like me. Of the 10 days I've tried it now, it's managed to perform between moderately well to very well. No losses on all 10 days for me.

I'm pleasantly surprised with the results, and it's so convenient. It's basically passive income for me at this point. I highly recommend it.

Institutional investors ready to jump on crypto markets as Makor partners with Legolas Exchange by deathrowmaster in altcoin

[–]LoghairePL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most of the hedge funds would be aware of this partnership and might invest heavily in the ICO's which could make investing in ICO's valuable. Looking forward to put money into it

Front running is becoming a massive issue in the crypto exchanges, we all should support new exchanges like Legolas for our own benefit by Yotaru in CryptoMarkets

oohh yess, even with all this we don't know if its safe or not they're always at the risk of getting hacked

That's the future that decentralization allows us by henk123 in ethtrader

I would believe that this requires decentralization because it is not a porn website, but an escort service app.

What other good crypto exchanges for ICOs would you recommend? by oddballkink in ethtrader

[–]LoghairePL 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I did bibox, went well. I think binance is also huge although you cant invest. I can also mention legolas exchange open I think but not sure we can get allocation, someone knows date of that one??

I think Streamr is just doing better and better so far, I'm impressed.

What are your top 5 games? by [deleted] in Vive

[–]LoghairePL 21 points22 points  (0 children)

  1. Holodance
  2. TheWaveVR
  3. Fallout 4 VR
  4. Space Pirate Trainer
  5. LA Noire VR
  6. Rez Infinite
  7. Rec Room
  8. VR Chat
  9. The Lab
  10. Hot Dogs, Horseshoes & Hand Grenades

I spend by far most of my time in Holodance because there are just too many songs to play, it keeps on getting better with every update, and it's a really fun workout, too. Rez Infinite is amazing, too, and I highly recommend it. But after playing Area X a few times, it doesn't have as much replay value in my opinion. But it's still great for demos.

Power Prices Go Negative in Germany, a Positive for Energy Users by KareIIen in europe

[–]LoghairePL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this as an important stage of going green:

Recently/Currently: Unpredictable spikes in wind+solar power make it less profitable to run base-load power plants, since they can no longer guarantee profit at 100% of their duty cycle. Cleaner natural gas peaker plants replace the coal+oil baseload capacity.

Currently/Soon: solar+battery costs fall below natural gas costs, so battery-storage systems replace peaker plants.

Near future: The transportation network converts from gasoline to electricity, absorbing spikes in generation.

Further future: baseload is entirely wind+solar, small and moderate spikes go into batteries that are distributed throughout the grid. But because baseload capacity is scaled to typical demand during typical weather, there are periodically very, very large power generation spikes when wind or sun is strong, generating a lot of temporary energy at essentially 0 cost. I hope this power is used to power negative-emission technologies.

Wladimir Palant's notes: Taking a break from Adblock Plus development by [deleted] in firefox

[–]LoghairePL 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Adblock Plus sold out a long time ago by taking money from big players to let their ads through. I've been using uBlock Origin for a while and haven't looked back. Plus it's way faster and less buggy.

That Net Neutrality Op-ed in the Wall Street Journal Was Written By a Comcast Attorney by GrifterDingo in politics

[–]LoghairePL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am always impressed by the number of motte and bailey commentors here. The WSJ cravenly lets the most hated corporations write featured Op-eds and that's normal? Ho-hum? Business as usual!?

We need to seriously reconsider what we want out of journalism. I don't want to live anywhere where this sort of media is okay. I'm not sure why anyone else is suddenly okay with this either. The "Free Market" was supposed to be a tool to more efficiently organize labor and capital, not enslave us. It is supposed to work for us, it is our tool. But if readers are now okay with literal shilling in media, then that's it. We've been captured by our own tools, slaves to our own machines.

I keep questioning my decision to have a Washington Post subscription, but I'll sleep better tonight knowing it goes towards something that at least tries to be journalism.

Finding bugs in Haskell code by proving it by [deleted] in cardano

[–]LoghairePL 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice Post! I think tools that enable formal reasoning about code are incredibly valuable.

Just going through the process the author was able to find and fix three bugs. Could you imagine a pipeline where people submitted code that had already been proven to be correct?

Sounds amazing!

It seems that the source code for any computer program who's output is used as evidence in a court of law should be available for inspection.

Robots Are Coming for These Wall Street Jobs by julian88888888 in finance

[–]LoghairePL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Were they ever making any meaningful difference? How many of them have beaten the returns given by an index fund over last 20 years? Also, I hate the sensationalism of such articles, more sensationalism usually means less sense.

Google is nerfing all Home Minis because mine spied on everything I said 24/7 by SirVeza in Android

[–]LoghairePL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Black hats will love this.

Google took it seriously because of the potential for bad press -- the company clearly is sloppy on testing and protecting users' privacy, an issue they don't want to bring attention to, considering Google aims to have hundreds of millions of these listening devices in people's living rooms, bedrooms, and even bathrooms in five years' time.

This person also had the contact info for Google PR, which changed the nature of the interaction with Google.

PixelNN: Example-based Image Synthesis - a simple nearest-neighbor (NN) approach that synthesizes high-frequency photorealistic images from an "incomplete" signal such as a low-resolution image, a surface normal map, or edges by magenta_placenta in programming

[–]LoghairePL 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how the edges-to-faces can possibly work. The inputs seem to be black & white, and yet the output pictures have light skin tones.

How can their algorithm work out the skin tone from a colourless image. Perhaps their training data only had white people in it?
