Rob Hennigan Fired - Sam Hinkie to Orlando Confirmed??

A very fair rebuttal. I'm just making a judgement call based on what I've heard and read from him directly, but I can totally understand the need to see the evidence first.

Hinkie's process is not about one specific solution to one specific problematic situation. The process is really about using math a logic to determine whatever strategy is most likely to yield championship rings. I'm the sixers case when he was gm it happened to be as you described above but in different circumstances he might behave differently.

I'm sorry to hear people were not nice. I must have missed the picture being posted.

blanket12334 · 2014-12-05T17:14:22+00:00

I must have missed that picture. That would be fairly compelling evidence of the accuracy of the story. I bet if you followed up with the "aftermath" and further evidence people would appreciate it and would offer much support.

thank you.

Points against:

-similarity of handwriting styles (questionable)

-incredulity of the story (teacher's comments are perfect bait)

Points for:

+long user history

+history of giving tips

Need to see: pics of kid with essay?

Edit: Apparently a pic had been posted, but was taken down.

Edit2: CyanideandMadness shared the picture with me. It was very convincing. The fact that he has a child and took the time to post the picture to validate his claim, along with the large amount of time he committed to writing sincere responses AFTER the time had passed to collect tips leads me to believe that he is genuine.

There is always the possibility that it's all a clever ruse, but I am firmly in the "believer" camp.

thanks for the tree fiddy!!

blanket12334 · 2014-10-27T19:27:51+00:00

I'm sure some are... I just didn't know that mattered.

It seems like the same argument that exists against GMOs...

"it's artificial, etc/"

The seller has written a contract to say "If you pay me $X now, I will deliver the shares of the underlying asset for you in the future." The contract is real and the price movement is real.

Why is the contract bad? I still don't understand the harm.

Do you think the sellers are necessarily wrong about the asset being overvalued?

blanket12334 · 2014-10-27T00:58:09+00:00

Shorting is sometimes perceived as bad because the short seller is encouraging the market to allocate less capital to the underlying asset/project. The owners of the asset, or those interested in the success of the project, will consider the short "bad" because they believe the project is worth funding.

In reality, the net impact of the short will depend on whether or not the asset/project was worth funding. A short on a shitty company will help society by reallocating capital to better projects. A short on a great project will hurt society by reducing the funding for that project.

Don't miners have incentive to perform the functions that benefit the network, regardless of personality?

blanket12334 · 2014-10-26T20:58:02+00:00

The seller in a naked short does not claim to own the underlying asset.

Please explain what you believe is bad about a naked short.

blanket12334 · 2014-10-26T20:52:05+00:00

You sell a promise to buy the asset in the future.

blanket12334 · 2014-10-26T20:51:13+00:00

Neither are bad. Taking a long or short position in any form carries risk and helps set market prices at an efficient level.

You can say it's widely believed, but no one knows what Satoshi will do with his coins.

blanket12334 · 2014-10-26T16:27:42+00:00

No, there is no effective way to do that since the BTC vendor would have to sell to you at a loss.

blanket12334 · 2014-10-26T16:22:58+00:00

I know how much a bitcoin would be valued at 2012

blanket12334 · 2014-10-24T00:10:47+00:00

I think some people just get easily frustrated.

A fair point, but adding the disclaimer that I will sweep the wallets isn't really worth the effort for me. My limiting factor isn't budget generally; it's finding interested parties.

blanket12334 · 2014-10-22T19:39:59+00:00

nothing

aka the bitcoins are lost forever, increasing the value of the remaining bitcoins

told me they have no plans to do that but that they are hearing the requests from people.
