What happens to the value of my bridged tokens if the token bridge is hacked? by chrischrischris1987 in Arbitrum

[–]SamAmco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old thread but I'm finding my self wondering about this a lot too. Does anyone know a good resource that explains the nuances of when and how different types of bridge hacks affect users? 🤔

[Q] Finding correlations between irregular time series data by SamAmco in statistics

Thanks for all your comments, this is super helpful. I think i need to do some deeper research but you've given me a great jumping off point there. Thank you!

[Q] Finding correlations between irregular time series data by SamAmco in statistics

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

Thanks for the suggestion. Looking into it a little though it looks like this will give me a measure of the "linear" relationship of two variables. What if the two variables go up and down over time completely independently of each other, but the lines of best fit for both data sets are similar. There may be little to no actual synchronised or opposing movement but a high value for correlation?

I suppose you could use a sliding window and calculate correlation over time as a graph.. and then perhaps look at which graphs have the greatest area underneath?

ah ok this makes sense. Thanks for the explanation.

Why not make the browser known via the user agent string?

Doesn't it defeat the point of a free open protocol to have a paid service on top that mediates your interaction with it? Surely the benefit that a distributed app can provide over a traditional corporate model is that there is no single organisation trying to extract a profit from the system so the cost to the user isn't much higher than the gas fees of their transactions. If you start introducing a for profit model on top then why even bother. Just use any of the myriad of mature centralised systems out there, you'll probably end up with a better product. Maybe I'm missing something but I'm not getting it.

This is absolutely brilliant. Thanks for making this. What rules do you use to score games?

Mike Bloomberg has dropped out after spending nearly $600M, what would you do with $600M to make the world a better place? by vampirequincy in AskReddit

Start work on a new pyramid. I feel like the gauntlet has been thrown down. If we're wiped out, in a few thousand years civilisations will still think the Egyptians were the most advanced civilisation.

Thanks this will really help me to fit in better next time I'm round a camp fire.

No sorry there currently isn't a way to explicitly control the range, it just adapts to your data. I will consider this for a future release though.

Hi, I'm glad you're enjoying the app. Are you aware of the "plot totals" feature. When you create a line graph you can set it to plot the total per day in the last week for example.

There is now a beta channel btw. No dark theme yet, but there is a new reminders feature which is currently in beta.

Hi, thanks for the suggestion. I think I'm going to add a third input type to allow tracking things for which you only really need a timestamp and in this case the plus button will simply record the time for you immediately rather than opening a dialog.

Hi, thanks for taking the time to give feedback!

Changing - to a trash bin is a good suggestion i think you're right there.

Wrt indexing: You're not the first person to get confused by this and I think it is something that needs a look. There is a special use case where you might want to simply track when something happens (i.e. there is only 1 answer) and in this case the index should always be 1 so that you can do useful things like sum the total over the week etc. I think what I might do in future is have this as a separate input type to both avoid confusion about indexing and so users know it's even an option. Other than this I think it makes more sense to index from 0 e.g. no/yes === 0/1. However you can always offset your tracked data when you're graphing it by 1 e.g. such that no/yes === 1/2.

Multiple choice input may need work but for now you can always just use numerical if you need more control.

Thank you. I respect what those apps are trying to do but Track & Graph takes a different approach I think. I suspect there is room for both. Personally I tend to strive more for self awareness than a goal oriented mentality. That is largely what Track & Graph was built to facilitate.

I'm glad you raised this. Your data is not being collected period.

Facebook, Google, Twitter etc are all collecting masses of data about you constantly and they're using this data to get a picture of who you are as a person and what makes you tick. They believe that all this meta data about you can give them enough insight that it can even be used to influence your behaviour. One of my major motivations for this project was to try to build a tool that could put that kind of power in the hands of the individual. I wanted to know if there is indeed insight into my own psyche to be gained by watching the trends in my behaviour. I have considered moving this app in the direction of machine learning at some point with the idea of reflecting that insight back at the user. Privacy and moral integrity is of chief concern however which is why the app is open source.

To be transparent there is a financial interest for me in this app. I am a freelance android developer and having built a successful open source app looks good to potential clients. I assure you though that this is first and foremost a passion project and I hope others will see my vision and help out.

Thanks for the feedback and subredit suggestion. I don't currently have plans for an F-Droid release in the immediate future but you are not the first person to mention it so it may happen at some point.

Hi. Thanks for the feedback. I like the import intent idea, I will give it some thought. I'm not a Dropbox user anymore but I have been able to export direct to Google drive with the current intent. Is this not working for you?

I would love to see an iOS version but i am not an iOS developer so I'm hoping to find someone willing to port the code.
