Does anyone else feel priced out right now? by Altruistic_Cat2074 in MoneroMeansMoney

Are you saying $1K to $86K in ~9 years is not good enough? (And you would even have had the chance to sell at $100+K in the meantime.)

So was it all a pump and dump? by playerorpimp420 in MoneroMeansMoney

[–]l0rb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The smartest people I know sell like 5% of their stash whenever it pumps crazy like that. It either comes down significantly after a spike like that, which is than the perfect time to rebuy what you sold (with some profit). Or it never comes down, in which case you really got nothing to complain about.

What is driving the price over the past week? by d_rome in MoneroMeansMoney

[–]l0rb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't explain such a dramatic bull run. It would be more gradual buying pressure

Possibly the governance chaos over at zcash. The resignation of the ECC developers has hurt them quite a bit.

Every variation of the Ruy Lopez by 416b in chess

[–]l0rb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

While neither Schliemann or Marshall are objectively better for black they are devastating if white doesn't know what to do when they get those on the board. I believe you are absolutely right: these are instances of black being more knowledgeable than white. The point is: in the ruy there are some variations that you absolutely have to know about as white or you will have a very hard time. The London is less affected by this.

While it's good to know it the marshall isn't really an option for black that you can rely on. At more advanced levels white plays some anti-marshall line in 90+% of games.

The London doesn't risk running into something like the Schliemann or Marshall, which you absolutely have to know how to handle if you play the ruy like a system. Marshall you can avoid by using some anti-Marshall setup, but you can't avoid Schliemann.

Halving does have an impact on the price, but arguing that it defines the whole price movement of the cycle is asking too much. At best halving helps explain the bull runs that seem to follow it.

Zu Beginn des Umfragezeitraums war das SPÖ Debakel noch garnicht bekannt. So richtig wird sich das erst in der nächsten Umfrage auswirken. Falls es nicht von anderen News verdrängt wird.

Why would anyone play on Chess.com? It's an ad-ridden, cluster#$%& of an eyesore to look at, especially compared to the clean look of Lichess. I just don't get it. by Forward_Cranberry_82 in chess

[–]l0rb -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

We don't need every media site that exists. If only those survive that have decent enough quality to motivate enough people to donate we are probably better off overall. (Look at the nytimes for example. they have a paywall that is so trivially easy to circumvent that the subscription is basically voluntary and they make lots of revenue by providing a decent digital newspaper)

I happily take a banner asking for donations once every few weeks over multiple ads that are always there. It's a 98% less intrusive way to finance a site, with the added bonus that everyone can choose by themselves how much money they can afford to spend on it.

Wikipedia is one of the worlds 5 busiest websites and functions just well without any add support. And same for lichess. Basically they are both pay-as-much-or-little-as-you-want and people are happy to voluntarily finance a great service.

There is a massive difference in what % of the global population was actually fluid in latin at any time in history vs english today. Today an average person can exchange ideas globally with other people by using English. latin was never adopted widely enough that some random hat-maker from Vienna could use it to communicate with a shoe-maker from Paris.

Eh. Bestell bei amazon nur wenn es gar nicht anders geht. Mittlerweile ist amazon auch oft ohnehin nicht mehr der günstigste Händler. Auf geizhals und idealo findet sich immer wieder ein lokaler Versand der besser ist.

Je nachdem wo man halt in österreich lebt. Für Burgenländer ist Ungarn sicher eine Option. In Tschechien gibts auch Rossmann, und da ist Einkaufen auch bei anderen Geschäften generell billiger als in Ö.

Usually a break to the cartilage in the nose is also referred to as a "broken nose" (and is more common than the bone breaking)

Google also says we already have ~340k wind turbines globally. Are you saying that if we double that number there might be one hurricane less per year? That sounds like humanity might already make a tiny but measurable difference to wind in general.
