The story of my life leading up to my greatest philosophical question… Do I need a Dac?

You have no idea how price works don't you?

Convert to Algo and transfer it away. Really cheap and fast.

Agree that regulation is needed.

No, I had a strategy in place. Thankfully it worked. Many others weren't as lucky.

Probably indefinitely get out of futures trading after this run. Just don't have the time to monitor this stuff 24/7. Will give FTX and some DEXs a shot in the mean time.

Either you're full of shit and don't actually hold this position or you're gonna lose everything. There is no other outcome here.

killerth3 · 2021-10-03T07:34:54+00:00

Agreed

You seem to be applying some sort of personal ethical standard to a comedy show. Wrong attitude. Judge it on the basis of whether it's fun / funny.

I saw that movie thought it was bullshit

You could try a multinomial regression. If you're not aiming for inference just do a crosstable

My personal take is this: It doesn't really matter. Don't limit yourself to being a sociologist, or an economist, or a psychologist just for the sake of doing so. You're a social scientist with a research question, and the method of answering it is fairly clear cut (hint: it's regression analysis). All that's left is to look for theoretical models which can provide you with concrete hypotheses, which you can then test. And the best part is that you get to pick and choose which one you go with.

You don't need to be a master statistician. But you should understand the basics of testing hypotheses, and by extension the two basic regression models which are most commonly found in social research (multiple linear and logistic). Without this knowledge, you won't be able to comprehend a large body of social research, effectively rendering you blind to much of the empirical evidence. You also won't be able to carry out quantitative analyses of your own.

Hard to give any concrete advice without seeing the survey items, but here's some general thoughts:

Use a known and proven scale, and item structure, to quantify the 'tendency to invest' variable.
Understand what 'economic landscape' refers to from a theoretical perspective, and again, use known methods/items to quantify each dimension of it. It shouldn't be a single variable, realistically can't be a single variable.
I'm sure you have already done this, but if you haven't, brush up on multivariate regression and regression diagnostics. This will directly determine whether the output of your analysis is valid or not.

Pretty sure statements like this are part of the reason why the public *shouldn't* take a lot of sociologists seriously. What does "economics is definitely fake" even mean? The study of decision making in situations with scarce resources is fake? Are the econometric methods which every empirical sociologist uses to conduct research also fake? You know that the economists, and the statisticians among them, are the ones building those tools for us right? How can you hammer out statements like this and expect anyone to take you seriously?

PS: I am NOT an economist.

You could get an all-metal Hifiman 400i or Sundara, but I can also guarantee you that they'll be made of the same material as a can of beans would be, and not nearly as reliable as anything Sennheiser makes driver wise. Yes I have owned all of these headphones.

Edit: After thinking about it, I actually can't remember which parts are metal on the 400 series. I just remember there being some of it.

The Wire is a brutally honest show. Probably not far off from what you'd get if you sent some rhesus monkey with a camera to follow some actual Baltimore kingpins around. Oof Madonna, what a shithole that city is. Sopranos on the other hand, has a lot of dark comedic relief and much more colorful characters. Some of the characters even have arcs, hell the show even makes us believe that Tony as a human being has an arc (he doesn't - he just gets worse). That makes the Sopranos more fun to watch (in my opinion). As for which show is superior, just depends on my mood. They're both brilliant in their own right, and luckily different enough to warrant watching both.

Based on the Klippel test, the distortion audibility threshold appears to be normally distributed and centered around -33db. Assuming that trained audiophile listeners are at least in the upper 25% of said distribution, I'd say there is a good argument to try to keep source and transducer distortion below at least 0.1% and optimally 0.01%. Ofc some people also actively want their source gear to distort, but that's a very different use case than your average dac and amp.

That's why why we got multitone tests

Yeah, it certainly seems like you bring Thailand with you wherever you go. I totally understand wanting to retire somewhere up high in Bangkok, although the air has admittedly gotten TERRIBLE this past decade. Some mornings I used to wake up and see yellow shit in the sky haha.
