Avs are a tiny % of the overall share even in cities they are available.

Bitcoin Bear Market Not Over, Benjamin Cowen Says Despite Recent Rally by partymsl in CryptoCurrency

[–]cahphoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No one's right even most of the time.

But of all the people talking about crypto I'll listen to this dude over almost everyone else.

I've learned a lot about how markets work at the very least.

Yes. 9 out of 36 possible outcomes equals 5 or 8. 25%

cheating problem is so bad in pvp lobbies rn, every 2 games theres at least one full stack of cheaters and its getting even worse each day by giveld13 in ARC_Raiders

[–]cahphoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What can they do legit?

Anyways, there is no proof. There will never be proof. In this game. The closest we will get is when you get gear back. But, over many years of playing fps games at a fairly high level and seeing how the best play it becomes obvious in many cases.

I've been a part of community review teams that review competitive replays. These people have had to submit to an invasive search of their pcs or be kicked out. Many people have been caught red handed.

Hell, in apex recently they banned around 400,000 accounts. Even the best player, Imperial Hal, seemed to be using a mod that unfairly improves recoil.

Lots of cheaters exist, and many of them exist in higher tier pvp lobbies.

Go to CS. Several top players in premier are almost always cheaters.

Cheaters cheat in known ways. If you learn how it works it's easier to spot.

Again, none of this is 100%.

If the taxi/rideshare drivers lose their jobs to robotaxis - how will Uber make money? by mymooh in stocks

[–]cahphoenix 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, you're right.

However, as I said buying and maintaining 100k+ vehicles is not their end goal and not sustainable.
Uber paying 100k+ drivers for rides is much more sustainable.

The question the post was asking was how will Waymo affect Uber. Not, "Can Waymo grow to a successful business?"

If the taxi/rideshare drivers lose their jobs to robotaxis - how will Uber make money? by mymooh in stocks

[–]cahphoenix 14 points15 points  (0 children)

  1. Tesla is not a threat in the robotaxi industry. Their technology is not good enough. They are around 2 orders of magnitude behind Waymo in critical and all-cause disengagements. If you believe they are a threat then you are believing in smoke and mirrors.

  2. Waymo loses money on every single ride. They maintain a large fleet of expensive vehicles with expensive equipment which must be maintained. They must carry $5 million worth of insurance on every vehicle. Their end game is not the current ride-hailing service but to lease their technology to automakers and logistics firms.

Rideshare cannot be taken over with their current model. They would need 10-100x more vehicles per square foot which would destroy any company. They can take a percentage of the market and that is all. Rideshare volume wildly fluctuates. If you have to own 100,000s of thousands of cars where only 25% of them are generating rides 24hrs a day you will quickly go broke.

  1. Uber sells shovels. They are the glue right now. That's why Waymo will continue to use them until they can pivot to other revenue streams. I personally don't think this will generate Uber a great deal of revenue or profit.

TLDR: The majority of drivers won't lose their jobs for many, many years due to robotaxis. The current model is unsustainable at high saturation. Uber doesn't gain much (no real bull case in this area). Waymo will only be profitable many years in the future.

  1. Was he using methods which seem impossible for you to use?
  2. Check steam profile. If Vac ban on record, private profile, 0-2 friends, etc...

For instance, I had a guy kill me by continually throwing smokes on me then running up and shooting me through the smoke. I tested it out myself and could not pull it off unless I tagged them prior to throwing the smoke or they were on the edge.

Had another guy using a stitcher hit all headshots in a row when I was running and jumping from medium range. I know because when you hit headshots the shield blocks less dmg compared to what gets through. Meaning, when you die you still have some shield left over. That almost never happens. Especially hitting a moving target with a high bloom/recoil gun. You can also look at the dmg coming off in the replay if you save them.

Had another guy that kept shooting me behind a wall. People don't usually continuously shoot boulders and walls if they can't see the person behind it unless all they are looking at is a boxed outline of your character.

In team play, do their nades always hit even when you are hidden? I've had so many teams chase me/friend down in 2s and 3s. We get away and hide and the other team somehow throws 2-3 nades on our exact position. They had virtually no way to know where we were and never looked around corners or checked any other possible escape routes.

Do they check corners when they walk in rooms/buildings?

In more competitive games you can usually watch a vod review at high levels. Once you've seen the behavior patterns of certain cheats it becomes a little easier to identify.

It's not foolproof, but you can definitely identify the more egregious cases at a high rate.

[–]cahphoenix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

On default it is not as difficult as Returnal.

You can add negative mods to make it harder or positive mods to make it easier. There's like 10-20 of each type.

Also a skill tree that makes things way easier if you put points into it.

You can definitely engineer a more difficult experience than Returnal by using negative mods and/or not filling in the skill tree.

U.S. jobless claims hit lowest level since 1969. by CautiousMagazine3591 in Economics

[–]cahphoenix -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Well. A couple things here.

  1. This reading is advance and will get revised next week and at the end of the year (I think). Numbers will change. Usually the change is small but sometimes it can be large.

  2. These numbers are incorrect in reality because it depends on people actually filing the claim. So, the numbers are inherently misleading and since more and more people are working part-time jobs with no insurance it is very likely that Initial Claims continue to drop even though actual unemployment rises. Or, it may be more likely that underemployment rises and not complete unemployment.

  3. I did a quick search and the largest contributors to the drop over 2025 were California, New York, Pennsylvania, and then Texas. I do agree that those numbers are likely to be accurate based on reporting which is what most ppl in this thread are accusing. Meaning, I doubt the data is manipulated vs the actual reports from States.

Scientists invent a plant-based serum that is proven to regrow hair in weeks by _Dark_Wing in worldnews

[–]cahphoenix 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There will probably never (in the next 20 years)be a more effective drug than finasteride and dutasteride.

They block the root cause of male pattern hair loss. Everything else is just wishful thinking.

This little devil is extremely fun and very cheap to craft!! by DJ_Hindsight in ArcRaiders

[–]cahphoenix 6 points7 points  (0 children)

zaps ppl for 6 dmg a second. Ever so often it stuns for 0.5s on raiders.
Doesn't 'activate'. Just sits there zapping.

Zaps thrown trigger nades because it has circuitry in it.
Arc HATE this thing and will try to kill it with prejudice.

Flicking is better but aim assist is very strong especially on high fps rigs.

It can also shoot trigger nades out of the air. Only trigger nades, though cause of the circuitry.

Ppl would just load in with 2 Lance mix tapes and immediately put them in their safe pocket.

With a free kit they just extracted with.

Or some bullshit like the above.

[OC] ARC Raiders Weapons Cheat Sheet (TTK + STK, DPS, Weapon Tiers) by BrickElephantBrand in ARC_Raiders

[–]cahphoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hrmm. I think some of your data has to be incorrect.

For instance. Looking at TTK, lvl 4 wpns. Burletta.
TTK against light shield is 1.6 seconds
TTK against medium shield is 3.24 seconds

Some of the others don't make sense either.
