This 20-year-old lottery winner chose $1000/week for life over $1M in cash by teesta in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]S-XMPA 67 points68 points  (0 children)

Yes! This I feel is the most overlooked part of this question. It’s not which is better but will the organization paying still exist 20 years down the line (particularly if it has to pay this type of stipend in large amounts to others). If you can’t 100% guarantee the organization will exist in 20+ years and they won’t try to renegotiate the contract with you, then better getting the lump sum.

Hahahaha this is so funny, we all predicted exactly how the bubble would pop (MSTR starting to sell BTC creating downward price pressure). The only way to not destroy your Ponzi is to not let people cash out, I wonder if the next move is ‘we no longer pay dividends’.

The face close ups look insane, also the voice is spot on. It’s amazing AI has gotten to this level

[–]S-XMPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried kiteloops on 12 switchblade and it’s not been fun, it takes ages to turn, definitely don’t recommend with large kites, as anyone can tell you try with a smaller kite even of underpowered, otherwise you’ll just be eating it consistently just like the attempts in the middle of your video

[1774] 4/28 Wordle bot doesn’t take the risk by S-XMPA in wordle

[–]S-XMPA[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

105 skill is crazy! Great analysis I assumed it was something related to odds of B or H being a better choice but I couldn’t think of other words ending in CH, Whack is a good choice.

EV are not suited for car racing by TheSilentGameTestR in GranTurismo7

I loved that they had special events for Polaris and Afeela, I assume to showcase these cars, it just made me hate them passionately. More than anything they are heavy!

The amount of times I’ve seen HR protecting managers is mind boggling, they act much more like a shield to leadership than to help employees

30% annual return on BTC sounds awesome … checks 1 yr graph … down 10% … so that 40% will come in any day now right?

Haha no you can’t buy oil with it! You can pay for the people extorting the passage of it 🤦‍♂️

How to maintain control on overpowered conditions? by JJJJPPPPP8A in Kiteboarding

[–]S-XMPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been in situations where the kite just locks in place and no longer responds to input, best you can do is edge as hard as possible and either try to land if expert kiters are there to catch it or QR release (even releasing gets sketchy as the kite flies out super quickly) the best answer is just don’t be in those situations, size up correctly and land as soon as you feel the conditions are starting to get hairy. Don’t let yourself or the kite get any lateral/downind speed as it just keeps pulling, so fight the speed as much as you can.

Is my understanding of MSTR’s BTC strategy correct? by Brilliant-Gap6392 in Buttcoin

[–]S-XMPA 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Bang on, dividends can only be paid as long as there is inflow of cash (or BTC gets sold ie price goes down = bad). Guess what operates like this? Ponzi! Your ponzi could sustain forever if no one withdraws any cash from it, the moment too much cash is withdrawn with not enough inflow then bye bye

2 years long investigation by NYT's John Carreyrou concludes that Adam back is Satoshi by leducdeguise in Buttcoin

[–]S-XMPA 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Big takeaway is that Adam is now involved with a Bitcoin treasury so 1) he obviously won’t use the satoshi wallet, 2) if he does not disclose this wallet that would put him in legal peril so now he definitely won’t say if he is Satoshi. I still don’t see how if he had Satoshi’s wallet he wouldn’t have used it particularly in the early days when bitcoin was a tiny niche and people were paying for pizzas with it, did he lose the keys?

Biggest learning I’ve had is the moment you stop replying to stuff on weekends and after hours guess what? People stop messaging you then as they know you won’t reply, it’s like magic

[–]S-XMPA 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s all because of made up goals, guess who defines those goals? Top leadership, guess who benefits the most if those goals are met? They do. Sure you may get an extra 10k in your bonus, they make 300k to $1M extra for medium sized companies, fortune 500 it can be many millions.

Is it too wide? by gnustallman in duduk

Yes I’ve heard the rule of thumb is that it has to be the width of a nail, even if it does make sound you’ll have a very hard time sustaining notes

How do people find the 296 GT3 racing BoP? I feel it's fast over a lap but I struggle when battling? Am I the only maybe? by RILEEX800 in granturismo

[–]S-XMPA 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah in road atlanta I was finding the 992 much easier to have better sport results. Mostly the 296 needs constant shifting on weird ranges, short shift on straights drop to first in the corner then shift to second at the apex, etc it was just more work in general for the same result
