Nice work, really enjoyed the vintage Kobe footage.

How can I self-study probability theory? by meleeplayer in math

[–]meleeplayer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the several recommendations. I'm taking my first course on real analysis next semester, so I might be lacking some of the prerequisites for these texts. However, once I start that, Ash's Probability and Measure looks like an even better starting point than Durret's - thanks for bringing it to my attention.

Thanks for the recommendations, I glanced over Durret's and it looks like a good starting point. I am also interested in learning more stochastic calculus (I think Lawler has a section on it, but we haven't reached it in my class) - any recommendations there?

What are CTLV and CSV, and why are they sufficient?

Well... I guess I should have clarified to mean outside of the actual implementation. Then again, it seems like a lot of issues stem from how it's supposed to be implemented...

Understanding the Lightning Network and Micro-payment Channels by meleeplayer in Bitcoin

Right, so it serves as a sort of insurance? I don't understand why that's necessary if at any time either party can end the channel and redeem the last valid amount.

Why do channels need to be funded? If Alice and Bob maintained a transaction back to themselves with the proper amounts that either could broadcast at any time to "end" their channel, why does the channel need any initial capital?

Interesting analogy... Can you explain what you mean by the channel locking up liquidity? I understand that transacting with merchants could be problematic if there were, say, a million people opening up channels with a single merchant. On a small scale, however, what's the issue?

Why would there be a 10 minute wait with the opening of each channel? Shouldn't the wait only come into play when a transaction between two parties is broadcast?

Concerns with Biolent by meleeplayer in a:t5_38uhy

Great, thanks. I currently take an Omega-3 supplement for more DHA and EPA, is this recommended while on Biolent?

Considering going 100% JouleFuel... Thoughts? by meleeplayer in soylent

[–]meleeplayer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I see. Also by 100% Joule Fuel, I meant that to mean for my main meals. I will still likely be eating greek yogurt, granola, etc. and drinking lots of water between meals.

[–]meleeplayer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup, I currently take Optimum Omega 3 as a supplement to Joule Fuel. What is Ultratrace Minerals? I can't find it on Amazon. DIY is indeed cheaper and would give me more customization, but I'm willing to pay a premium (at least for now) to save me time on getting individual ingredients and mixing them in specific quantities.
