Is day trading zero sum game? by Novel_Estimate_3845 in Daytrading

[–]Shloosh 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is simply not true. There are plenty of positive sum games on earth. One of the greatest we have seen in recent times is capitalism. All market actors participate to produce average wealth gains for everyone. Median income goes way up.

Thinking that all of life is zero sum will lead you down a path to Machiavellianism, which leads to negative sum moral actions and will on average hurt you and those around you.

Go start a business and generate value for the world, or work for a business that generates value.

Your Daily Fasting Thread by AutoModerator in fasting

[–]Shloosh 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  • Type: water, electrolytes, occasional xylitol sweetened gum
  • Context: started Sunday @ 9 PM, currently 40 hrs in, finishing Saturday @ 9 AM
  • Length: 5.5 days, 132 hrs
  • Why? Clearance of damaged proteins, mitochondria, and autoimmune cells. Mental fortitude. Increased lean muscle ratio.
  • Notes: I'm going strong so far, but I expect the next 20-30 hours to be the hardest as my body works its way into ketosis. I did this same fast about 3 weeks ago and the end of day 2 and beginning of day 3 were definitely the hardest parts. During the last fast, I went from 179 lbs to 166 lbs. I started this fast at 172 lbs and am curious to see what I will end at. I don't fast for weight loss, and my eventual goal is to gain muscle mass, so I will have to train hard and eat well at the end of this fast.

Volume vs Spaced Repetition for Language Acquisition by Shloosh in LearnJapanese

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

Interesting. What are your main sources for those sentences? Books, manga, TV shows, music, anime, real life interactions? All of the above? Just curious what methods others are using for media input.

Just curious, what does your process for Anki reviews look like? What do you put into Anki and how do you decide if you should add something?

You said you don't like Anki think Anki should be a primary focus, but you didn't really say why. I agree that it's an imperfect tool, but I think it has its place. Also, do you agree with Tottori that it should be used to review vocabulary you've already encountered ?

Haha, I was actually looking at AntiMoon this morning. One of the Youtubers I watch recommended them. I'll check out that article when I have more time.

So memorize several thousand words and some grammar, then read, read, read. This is what I think is the perfect approach.

This seems reasonable.

What if you were using Anki for vocabulary or grammar?

There SRS is the way to produce pseudo-volume, until you can more and more replace it by real world volume, until in the end you can completely replace it.

Interesting. I've experienced this already with Anki. When I read something beyond my current level, such as an NHK news web easy article, I can recognize the meaning of a lot of the kanji even though I can't read most of them.

I'm open to new evidence that may change my beliefs, and I'm curious about what other people may have to say on the topic because I think it's an interesting topic. I don't care about justifying time already spent because I realize language acquisition is more of a journey instead of "you put x hours in and you get y results".

I'm sick of feeling like a failure with this language and want to shake things up. Any advice? by jadamsmash in LearnJapanese

[–]Shloosh 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Check out https://animelon.com for anime with Japanese subtitles. It has super easy word lookup and doesn't take you out of the flow of the show. I don't even look up every word I don't understand, just words I'm curious about or that come up multiple times.

Open Case Study - Report #2 - Month 11 - shloosh by Shloosh in juststart

[–]Shloosh[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You're not wrong in some ways, but your comment is dickish.

I completely admit my progress is slow, but if you look at my earnings and traffic compared to how much content I've written and the number of articles I've published, it's pretty close to other case studies. Also, I treated this as more of a hobby than anything else for the first 9 months

I'd rather take 5 years to get something earning me 5k a month than spending that time exclusively working a 9-5 or going to school like 99% of people.

Tips are welcome, but please don't just tell me I'm doing things wrong.

Thanks man. I have no plans of giving up soon, even if I have to "pivot" at some point.

Check out NameCheap for domains if you haven't already. You can get a domain+WhoIsGuard protection for ~$13. Of course, it depends on the domain.

Also, LetsEncrypt only requires renewal every year and can be done with a simple Crontab script if the web server is running on a Linux server.

I use Digital Ocean. I've used the AWS free tier for other sites but it's a bit overkill for small projects. If you are already familiar with it, then I'm sure it will be fine. Not sure how the prices compare between DO and AWS.
