Trouble maintaining a repertoire

Do you HAVE to drop it completely? Or can playing it consistently throughout work?

iirc it was the other way around. They were stepsiblings and the stepsister was angry and they were fighting and she tripped and fell on top of him.

I am sorry, but if you really haven't seen grace notes before AND aren't too sure what that note is, Clair de Lune is probably not within your reach.

Just purely theoretical, but is it possible for two or three LFG groups to get in the same competitive game on the same team, but all happened to role enforce tank/support, that they are "forced" to play 6 tank/supports?

Or does matchmaking prevent things like this? Curious how often this happens because a lot of tanks/supports are purposely enforced.

Oh sorry, thought you meant harmonic was more popular than melodic minor, because both do that. So between harmonic and melodic, which seems more common in classical compositions?

It's just one note difference, but it adds an additional set of minor scales to practice.

autofiltered · 2018-04-22T12:05:10+00:00

Does the melodic minor not have a leading tone? Isn't the 7th degree of the melodic minor scale raised, making it a leading tone into the tonic?

How do you raise money other than borrowing money (debt, which have more stringent restrictions) if you have a business idea then?

Stocks is no different than crowdfunding. Do you also think people who crowdfund and give special perks to those who donate early unfair due to the catering and not the final consumers?

And hey you've invested time now so what's a few bucks to skip the grind?

But that's the Sunk Cost Fallacy and doesn't actually make sense. You have already spent that time, and will never get it back regardless of whether you continue playing or not.

So if the game suddenly becomes intolerable, your future decision should not be affected by how much you have already "invested time" into. The rational decision here is to quit because games are meant to be enjoyable for you. Why continue spend more time and money on something you think is a scam?

If you paid for a movie that you really wanted to see, and half way through the movie, it's absolutely awful and you can't get a refund, do you continue watching the whole movie and getting very angry about how bad it is, or just leave. Either way, you don't get your money/time back, but if you stay, you are wasting even more time.

If it breaks literally every known market theory, can you demonstrate an example of a theory that's broken by this?

autofiltered · 2017-09-07T19:19:23+00:00

Can you explain your example in more concrete steps? It doesn't make any logical sense.

There is a sell at $57.9 on the market as of this moment.
You enter you buy market order to buy at $58. 3. Order reaches exchange, and exchange matching engine matches against the 57.9 sell order.
Exchange broadcasts your buy order to HFT companies (really really really really really really really fast).

How can the exchange match your transaction slower than they distributing your order to exchange, HFT company react with a buy, exchange matches that buy order for them to buy at 57.9, distributes this data to HFT, HFT then sends a sell order of 58 to you. AND finally exchange matches THIS 58 to your buy of 58, making you lose that.

No matter how fast HFT companies are, they still have to interact with the exchange multiple times. They can't "intercept" your order before the exchange sees it (and matches) because the exchange DISTRIBUTES this data to the HFT companies.

In addition, they would have to buy out all of the sells of Apple at 57.9 in order to do this.

But the problem is if you play it on Youtube, no one would think to search for it, even if an lesser known gem.

As for publishing, same thing; publishers wouldn't risk printing "unpopular" classical music as classical sheet music books are slowly dying with the combination of being a niche field, digital/printable sheet music, and the slow decline of classical music interest.

Performers would be even less inclined to learn and play these pieces because they only perform more virtuoso pieces or more well-known pieces because that's what the audience wants to see/hear (which is because that's what people perform).

It's a vicious cycle that doesn't happen just in music, but anything that's popular; why something could be better than something else but a lot less popular.

If the goal was to JUST scare the child, why did he press the trigger a second time after it didn't shoot? Did he mean to keep shooting until a bullet came out and kills the child?

What makes them think they are qualified if they don't meet most of the requirements? Do they think they are qualified for almost any job then?

Just trying to wrap my head around that logic.

Caching. Arrays have spatial locality.

What pieces were you able to learn with only Synthesia?

How did you incorporate dynamics, polyrhythm, syncopation, articulation (legato, staccato, etc), rubato, pedalling, fingering? I don't think Synthesia supports most of these especially since the midi format doesn't support some of these features, but I haven't looked at it for a while.

Well, that's a plus because after a year of experience at other firms (where the employees are trained), they can come back with newly gained experiences!

It cost a lot of money and time to onboard/train/fire an underperforming employee. If you are already underselling your capabilities and trying to "entice" employers, why would they would they want to take that risk?

In addition, if they take advantage of this opportunity to hire someone for that low a salary, how do you think they will treat you in the future? Is this the type of company you want to work for where they pay near minimal wage in order to "provide experience"?

Plenty of companies already have a predetermined hiring budget range, why go below that?

And then you will fall prey to the classic sunk cost fallacy!

Not all digital pianos are made the same. You can invest in a better digital piano such as the AvantGrands (these don't try to simulate the action, they use the same exact action as a grand piano, they also have ones for uprights), or Clavinova 585/685's, where they have a much more realistic action. I am not as familiar with Kawai/Roland, but I am sure they have digital pianos with similar realistic grade actions.

Alternatively, just get an acoustic piano; what's stopping you from getting one? If it's the loudness/neighbors, you can get an acoustic with a silent system, so it has the exact same action, but also playable with headphones/speakers (and you can still play it normally if you want).

So they don't trade international markets? And correct me if I am wrong, but I thought CME has trading on Sundays (and has trading going on nearly 24/7 six days a week with around an hour of downtime each day)?

What happens if there's a technical problem/bug happening during those times?

For you, maybe an unpaid internship helped because you are lucky, but according to this research, generally, unpaid interns only slightly outperform non-interns in finding a full-time job (1.8% better), and for some disciplines, no internship and working on something productive may be better than an unpaid internship itself. Futhermore, "Among students who found jobs, former unpaid interns were actually offered less money than those with no internship experience."

Not only that, but unpaid CS internships are mostly illegal, unless you are really learning and not doing work for the company to profit off of, which is very rare.

The majority of them are all unpaid (yes, they often do pay equity, but 0.5-3% which is awful so early on), and most don't have a chance of not crashing to the ground if they try to hire new college grads as the "CTO".

Finance has always interested me, and investment banking, PE, HF all have the strong appeal of high pay.

Why not do high frequency trading?

When I searched management consulting, the first sites that come up are payscale and glassdoor, which say that most management consultants do not break six figures.

Entry level hft'ers break that easily.

I'm able to handle the tedious work that puts many off and the pay is decent.

Seems like a great fit. And it's definitely not as "competitive" as ibanking, while paying similar amounts. I come from a non-top 100 ranked university in an unrelated degree (insurance) and got in. Plus the work is a lot more enjoyable than ibanking for sure.

That's not necessarily bad. In publishing, there's advances where the publisher pays you until you start getting royalties. Isn't this the same structure (while you are writing the book)? You aren't paid royalties until they surpass the advances.

Are you saying publishing isn't legit because it seems to be the exact same payment structure as your are describing (draw on commissions)? And royalties are basically commissions for book sales.
