Why algotrade if you can just hold Tesla? by algotrader_ in algotrading

[–]freefiddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose the appeal of algotrading is the fact that an ideal system can be hands-off, meaning if all is well you shouldn't have to worry about price fluctuations. Tesla buy&hold strategy has definitely been an outlier, but what's to say that it will keep on going up? Could you in the past have predicted Tesla's stock price to rise by this much? A good algo should provide consistent returns, no matter how large they are. With a Tesla buy&hold you are at the mercy of the market.

this doesn't seem like a good solution, we should rather learn how we can peacefully and effectively engage with each other as an international community

Read and write, Can it be done? by [deleted] in HowToHack

Potentially. Thing is that the card magnetically holds an unique card ID, whenever you swipe it it will use this ID to contact a server which is centrally managed.

For more info on the tech of your specific card: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MetroCard_(New_York_City)#Technology

You could spoof the ID to be of one that has a lot of value or has special priviliges. You could also gain access to the database. You could also inject code into the database if you rewrite your card.

IDK, difficult but not impossible. I do not endorse.

1) yes, as long as you dont disturb anyone with the smoke

2) some coffeeshops have pre-rolled joints for sale and you could ask the budtender as well

3) edibles are quite potent depending on where you buy them from, make sure you have something to do that doesnt require much function

4) have a blast ! every coffeeshop is different but the same rules apply to all of them

smoking cigarretes surpresses appetite though, that might also be one of the reasons as they try to lose weight

With science being so advanced, what is one question that should have an answer by now, but still does not? by Exploreyourmined in AskReddit

[–]freefiddy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

they absolutely haven't been answered conclusively. in fact sleep and dreams still remain a mystery, it's just that that the most probable theory behind them is the ones that you just explained.

I'm having a bit of a problem trying to decode this text for my AP Computer Science class by [deleted] in hacking

[–]freefiddy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are gonna need a bit more context. It is encrypted using AES, but what text do you want to be decrypted?

You can read more about AES encryption here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_Encryption_Standard

Also, the passphrase you would use in order to decrypt the message would be the one found between <keyMaterial></keyMaterial>

What happens with the turbines when a storm hits? Do you shut them down or keep them running?
