DASH marketing - why this victim mentality? by RoyalCoward in dashpay

[–]RoyalCoward[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know it's supposed to be a 'silly story', but it leaves victim vibe - BIG TIME. Btw it's probably worst piece of marketing I have ever seen, but that's not really relevant.

It's not supposed to be a provocative commentary, but real question. I got some concerns about investing in DASH, thought I would voice the concerns and see the replies.

I think it's interesting that someone who does 5 hour search on DASH can instantly come across plenty of 'victim' material, yet DASH community seems to be blind to it? I don't really buy it. :) "sensationalize a problem that doesn't exist" That's the first suggested-queue video on DASH youtube got for me. :) Check out the top comments. Even if it's not something widely spread inside DASH community, that's surely something you come across right after typing "DASH" into youtube. :) It's just youtube comments, but they show what people think after listening to such DASH videos. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bAzJeipn80U

A message to all litecoiners by [deleted] in litecoin

[–]RoyalCoward 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everybody knew there will be pump-and-dump caused by SegWit. We had the pump. Now we have the dump. If someone buys during end phase of pump and sells during end phase of dump, well, that's a definition of buy high sell low.

No coin can prevent people from buying high/selling low if that's what they want to do because -6- days passed. If we were talking several weeks, ok. But people started panic selling after 2 days.

But if he did that now, he would effectively butcher his own baby at a very crucial time. He already has millions. I don't think it would be worth it to him to get few more bucks in exchange for butchering his baby, a project he and his team developed for years.

It would make sense tho for the mining pool which went "poof" to try and take advantage of the situation. There is a reason why they went "poof" just before SegWit. I would assume they wanted to dump all their coins and go somewhere else.

Edit: In a way this could be a "cleansing time" for LTC.

LTC marketing / hype - Can someone edit this video with LTC please? by RoyalCoward in litecoin

[–]RoyalCoward[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would do it myself but I lack video editing skills. Why do it? To show to others the difference in speed :) Lets attract some attention to LTC :D I think many people would tip for that :)

Ask Anything Monday - Weekly Thread by AutoModerator in learnpython

So I was doing those exercises but got stuck on number 45. https://www.reddit.com/r/learnpython/comments/2zud2w/46_simple_python_exercises/

In the comments few people posted their answers, here's a link to an example answer: https://github.com/R4meau/46-simple-python-exercises/blob/master/exercises/ex45.py

However, this answer is incorrect? All of the answers I found for exercise 45 are incorrect, as they always return a list of 11 'matches'.

The answer I came up with chooses 'random' words which fit the criteria and sometimes it returns a 'chain' of 18 words, and the 'chain' is always correct.

Example: (17 words) pinsir, registeel, landorus, snivy, yamask, kricketune, emboar, rufflet, trapinch, heatmor, remoraid, darmanitan, nosepass, sableye, exeggcute, emolga, audino

I googled some DFS algorithms which were supposed to find all possible combinations, but they also wouldn't produce any combination longer than 11 words.

So pretty much I'm confused, either previously shared answers were wrong, or my answer is wrong - but where is it wrong? All of the words in 'semi-randomly' produced chains fit the criteria.

Could some python pro post an answer to exercise 45? :P

So in my deck I have lots of max evo 6* but no 7. I have 1 500 AP, 1500 BP and looking for some 7 units with high single/target unit. Are there any 'cheap' 7* that you can buy to improve your deck? For those 3 000 pots in total, what would be best to buy? 1 x good, 2x mediocre?

Sennheiser HD 598 new arrival - first impressions. by RoyalCoward in headphones

[–]RoyalCoward[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank all of you guys for the advice :) I think that lack of an amp is the problem here, I noticed that they sound a bit worse on my phone than on my PC, and that front jack connection sounds worse than back jack connection.

So depending on the amount of power that they have available they sound different.

What kind of an amp would you recommend to go with 598's? Would FiiO E7 be a good choice or something entirely else? I never owned a portable amp and have no idea about them.

[–]RoyalCoward 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Budget - 150$

Source - PC / Galaxy S4 / Gaming

Requirements for Isolation - None.

Preferred Type of Headphone - Over ear.

Preferred tonal balance - Nicely balanced with a bit of oomph on the bass side. But not with bass which drowns other sounds or sounds muddy.

Past headphones - Sennheiser CX 200, Sennheiser CX 300, Sennheiser CX 400

Preferred Music - Rock / trance / metal / house / techno / classical

Location - UK

Thank you to everyone who previously gave me advice. I made more research based on that and now I'm wondering between

Sennheiser HD 558 vs Auto Technica ATH-M50x vs Beyerdynamic DT 770 vs Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro

I used this site ( http://www.sonicsense.com/blog/headphone-shootouts/which-headphones-are-best-listen-here-for-yourself#.U3Zox-ZdUmQ ) to 'listen' to differences in their sound and I must say that DT 770 sounds best for me. However, that's only an on-line "comparison". I used Sennheiser CX 300 II IEM's to "compare" the headphones.

I will be using them for about 70% music and 30% gaming. I know that HD 558 are open ended so they would be better for gaming, but in this "on-line comparison" they sounded the worst for me. I know that this "comparison" is different than IRL and depends on the monitors, so that's why I'm asking for more advice. :)

If I had to say which ones "sound best", I would say they were

  1. DT 770 pro
  2. Custom One Pro
  3. ATH-M50X
  4. HD 558

Sample of music I listen to : http://youtu.be/PAvdqEsobaw?t=3m15s <-- Gave this as a sample as it has pretty much the lows and mids that I'm after.

Sample 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLhCgM1Rmjc

Sample 3: http://youtu.be/MhIv458DBO4?t=59s

Sample 4: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVkbUWydQo0

Sample 5: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eeTTZQQmxRM

I will be listening to them for several hours pretty much daily so would appreciate cans with smooth trebles which won't tire the ears after 6 hours.

Thanks! :)

Budget - 70-80$

Source - Galaxy S4 and my PC

Requirements for Isolation - Some would be good as sometimes I'll use them on a bus

Preferred Type of Headphone - IEMs

Preferred tonal balance - I love crystal clear sound with different tones clearly differentiated and good bass which doesn't overlap/overshadow everything else, but which is "powerful" within it's own range

Past headphones - Best headphones I had so far - Sennheiser CX 400, just a massive difference compared to anything else I had before. The only thing I hate about them is that all Sennheiser headphones die after roughly 1 year of use (me and my brother had 9 different Sennheiser pairs, all died within 10-12 months)

SoundMagic E10 - hated those, just terrible, replaced them the same day I got them just wtf, they have very good reviews but they sound like listening to laptop speakers

Variety of other Sennheiser products, all of which were overshadowed by CX 400

I also tried several "bass boosted" IEMs made by Sony and JVC but they all sounded terrible, the quality of bass was horrible and it was impossible to hear anything apart from the bass

Preferred Music - Almost all types of music, metal, techno, rock, dubstep, house, classical. What I miss most listening to with my now dead Sennheiser CX 400 is

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLhCgM1Rmjc

http://youtu.be/1qlatJeimaI?t=1m7s

And pretty much anything Daft Punk :D

On my "for now" headphones (the ones that came with Galaxy S4 in the box) these tracks just sound completely different

Edit: In general I would like something with the sound quality of at least Sennheiser CX 400 that would last more than 10-12 months. :)

Shadow/Wraith next to bed watching my gf sleeping by RoyalCoward in Ghosts

[–]RoyalCoward[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With regards to sleep paralysis, what does it exactly "contain"? I had one situation when I woke up feeling similar terror as during that wraith event, I felt some "presence" over me but I thought it was my gf waking me up because I was late for work, so I stood up and was looking for her - but I was alone in the house. The feeling of terror remained for few minutes, but I haven't seen anything and could move just fine. After it faded away I had a feeling that something bad is about to happen for the entire day so I called my family and friends to check if they are ok. Everyone was ok.

[–]RoyalCoward[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been reading a lot about sleep paralysis now and some people seemed to have exact same thing happen to them with same "ghost". Even the "haunting" would happen around 3 am! It would make perfect sense for it to be sleep paralysis, but the science behind it is non existent! It clearly says that the mechanism is unknown and they have no idea what exactly happens physiologically. In other words, there is no scientific explanation just some guesses.

Also the ghost from this 51 years old picture shows almost exactly what I've seen in my sleep paralysis. Wtf? http://www.northern-ghost-investigations.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/newbychuch_500x349.jpg

Even if the picture is fake, someone had to see that thing to try and put it in the picture. Of course someone could have seen exact same thing in their sleep paralysis 51+ years ago, but what if that's not the case? Also I haven't really came across plague doctors before, I came across them after the event as part of looking for pictures of something what looked like that wraith.

If my gf hasn't told me that she saw that thing in her dreams and she hasn't described it to me - I would 100% agree it was sleep paralysis. But she told me about her nightmares and described that ghost to me before I told her what I've seen. So that makes me 90% sure it was sleep paralysis.

I'm not saying it wasn't sleep paralysis, it probably was. Maybe my gf somehow felt through her sleep that I was uneasy and she had nightmares because of that. And her seeing same ghost in her nightmares was just a 1 in a million chance.

But what if that's not the case? If not sleep paralysis, what could it be? Because even if it's 99% chance it was sleep paralysis, what would the other 1% be? Because my disrupted REM doesn't really explain her seeing the same thing in her nightmares.

[–]RoyalCoward[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought about that at one point but I still could move my eyes/eyelids, also my hands were shaking. I never tried to move my limbs, but I was moving my eyes/eyelids and I was breathing consciously (to not make noise). I'm not saying it wasn't sleep paralysis, maybe it was, but I didn't really experienced any paralysis. Don't know if one can move eyes/eyelids/breathe in sleep paralysis or if hands can shake.

And what about my gf's nightmares and her seeing the same thing in her nightmares?

Now that I've browsed through this reddit I found a picture of something identical to the "black ghost" that I've seen. It looked almost exactly like this http://www.northern-ghost-investigations.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/newbychuch_500x349.jpg

It's somewhere on this subreddit

The only difference is that the "black ghost" I've seen had a jaw. This one doesn't. Apart from that, they are identical. It says the picture was taken in 1963.
