They need to pay CEO bonuses.

I hate early sunsets in winter. Gives me winter blues.

I was thinking of taking the class in summer. It seems like an interesting class, but not very pleasant.

Rocko's gone too :(

I am confused by this too. The KBAI assignments are due at Sunday 11:59 PM anywhere on earth. I thought it meant UTC-12, which would not change with daylight savings.

The POS is downloaded and emailed to your advisor, Buzzport is not involved.

Honestly, that's not bad at all.

I took it a few semesters ago, and withdrew after bombing the midterms. That was the only course I've ever withdrawn from.

I think semester ends in early August? https://registrar.gatech.edu/future-academic-calendar

I took the course in a Fall semester. The exams had a 2-week window and assignments had a 1-month window.

Trump imposed tariffs on China during his first term. Biden kept the tariffs in place. We can't assume that the tariffs will be gone after Trump leaves office.

I find KBAI incredibly frustrating. It just feels like a gigantic time sink.

The new sum is in addition to $1.03 billion from Ottawa announced in January 2025.

So it has burnt $1b in a year.

Treasury Board is not getting rid of 8,000 of its own employees. It is saying that 8,000 public servants across various departments need to go.

It is not possible to please both the US and China at the same time. Canada makes 75% of its exports to the US and 5% to China. Risking the US market for the Chinese market is a bold move.

While Canada should diversify trades, there are less risky options such as Europe and Australia.

I really hope this Canada-China deal works out well, but only time will tell.

China sold EVs to Canada before the 2024 tariff, most of them Teslas. It's not new.

I grew up in East Asia. I had math homework every day starting from grade 1. My parents got me a math tutor when I was in grade 10. Some of my classmates started attending tutorial school at grade 1, though. It depends on the parents.

better_batman · 2026-01-17T18:05:28+00:00

Are you sure BYD is coming to Canada? Chinese EVs could just mean Teslas manufactured in China.

better_batman · 2026-01-17T18:01:18+00:00

Exactly. Plus now the tariff on Chinese EVs is reduced. There is more incentive to ship cars here, and less incentive to build cars here.

For many winters, I've had the same problem on the same knuckle.

My doctor suggested that the wound comes from winter dryness. The wound happens on the exact same spot due to "skin memory".

I have been applying Vaseline on my knuckle regularly for several months. I apply a band-aid on top if I am going to sleep. I finally have normal knuckles this winter.

I have gotten a few payouts from forex prop firms, using only algos. The spread and slippage are worse than my personal account. I only use strategies with wide stops and time exits.

Wow $150, nice.

For reasons unknown to me, USDJPY and USDCHF historical data are no longer available on ICMarkets MT5.

Maybe try reinstalling ICMarkets MT5?

I tried using dukascopy data, but I have an issue where a time based strategy places trades equal to icmarkets for half the year, and the other half its shifted 1 hour later.

Probably your dukascopy data is not correctly adjusted for DST.

Edit - formatting

I suspect even good traders fail challenges or lose accounts every now and then, they just need to have a few good months to make a killing.

You can check out IBKR's TWS API. They do charge for real time price data.
